    Notes 
    • MATHER, CHARLES W., son of Westley and Julia Ann (Keyser) Mather, and grandson of Joshua Mather, was born in the town of New Hartford, Oneida county, May 1, 1852. The family descends from Rev. Richard Mather, father of Dr. Increase Mather, one of the early presidents of Harvard College. Rev. Richard came from Lewton, Winwick parish, England, and settled in Boston, Mass., in 1635. Among his descendants were Cotton and Dr. Samuel Mather. Asaph Mather, of the fifth generation, was born in East Lynn, Conn., in 1753, and finally settled in 1792 at Schuyler, Herkimer county, where his son, Joshua, grew to manhood. The latter in 1810 married Cornelia, daughter of Rev. Joseph Willis, and their children were Lucinda, Wesley, Asaph D. and Joshua, jr. Joshua Mather, jr., came to Utica in 1847 and engaged in the grocery business with Asaph D. In 1866 the firm of A.D. Mather & Co. founded the present bank of that name. A.D. died in April, 1880, and Joshua associated with himself his nephew, Charles W. Mather, and in November, 1890, the business was incorporated under the name of A.D. Mather & Co.'s Bank, with a capital of $200,000, and with Joshua Mather as president. He was also president of the Utica Belt Line Street Railroad Company. He died August 18, 1893. Wesley Mather was born January 19, 1819, came to New Hartford in 1847, and died there September 15, 1892. His wife died in 1855. Their children were Albert, and Lucinda (Mrs. Joseph D. Monroe), who reside on the homestead; Warren, of New Hartford; and Sarah J. (Mrs. J.F. Turner) and Charles W., of Utica. Charles W. Mather finished his education at the private school of John Williams. In 1871 he became a clerk in the banking house of A.D. Mather & Co., and rose to the post of teller. In 1880 he became a partner and in 1890 vice-president. On the death of his uncle in 1893 he was elected president. He has been a director and the treasurer of the Utica Belt Line Street Railroad Company since its organization in 1886. He is a member of Faxton Lodge, No. 697, F. & A.M., Oneida Chapter R.A.M., Utica Commandery, No. 3, K.T., and Ziyara Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and a charter member of the Masonic Club. August 7, 1873, he married Ida F., daughter of David J. Crane (a member of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune, at the time of his death). Their children are Cornelia F., William, Maud, Ida A., Katherine A., and Richard. (p. 374-375)(Our County and Its People, Part III: Family Sketches by Daniel E. Wager.
