EDWARD TROWBRIDGE CARRINGTON.

     Edward T. Carrington, manager of the Carrington Publishing Company, publishers of the Journal-Courier of New Haven, comes of a long line of American ancestors, the progenitor of the family in the new world being of English birth and among the first of the colonists in the new world. The family through various generations has produced men prominent in journalism and in literary and publishing circles and it was in that field that Edward T. Carrington, Sr., the father of Edward T. Carrington of this review, became well known. A native of New Haven, he was here reared and educated and then entered the field of journalism in connection with his father's paper and at the time of his death was one of the foremost newspaper men and publishers of the state. He passed away in New Haven in February, 1883. His wife who bore the maiden name of Sarah Humphrey, belonged to one of Farmington's prominent families and was a lady of marked culture and innate refinement. She passed away in New York. The children of the family were: Mary E.; Edward T.; Roswell T., who died in infancy; and Harriet Hayes.
     Of this family Edward T. Carrington was born in New Haven, May 16, 1875. After pursuing his studies in the schools of his native city and of Farmington he continued as a student in the Hartford high school and eventually completed a scientific course at Andover, Massachusetts, in June, 1896. He afterward represented a typewriter concern of the middle west, but gave up that position in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to become secretary of the Carrington Publishing Company, of which his uncle, John B. Carrington, is the president. His father had been associated with the uncle in the business and at the time of the father's death his family retained a working interest in the business, which is now under the management of Edward T. Carrington of this review, who sustains the high and well merited reputation won by the family in literary and journalistic circles.
In his fraternal connections Mr. Carrington is a thirty-second degree Mason, a Knight Templar and also a Shriner, as well as a member of the Elks, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and Red Men. Appreciative of the social amenities of life his club membership is an extensive one and among others includes the Quinnipiac, the Knights Templar, the Rotary, of which he is a charter member, the New Haven Yacht and the Madison Clubs.
     A stanch democrat ever since he became a voter, he has always taken an active part in political affairs. He was but little past twenty-one years when he was the democratic candidate for representative in Farmington, Connecticut, his opponent being Adrian R. Wadsworth, one of the strongest men in the republican ranks in that town; yet, Mr. Carrington's defeat was by a margin of but six votes. He is prominent in the ranks of his party in New Haven, where, owing to the pressure of private business affairs, he has declined the most important candidacy in the city. He is a generous supporter of philanthropy, is social, genial, easy of approach and is one of the best known young men of New Haven, representing a family of high position and standing as a splendid example of American manhood and chivalry.
