 IDE. INGALLS. 333 years of a leading religious paper published in Boston. Mr. Hyde has the distinctive honor of having been the first mayor of his native city, which office he administered with wisdom and prudence, counseling economy and integrity in all its depart- ments, faithfully illustrating these virtues in his own official conduct. Mr. Hyde has always been notable for enterprise and public spirit, and has always been found foremost among those who seek to promote the highest welfare of his native town. He has always taken deep interest in moral and religious sub- jects. He was the principal mover in the establishment of the Congregational church at Newton Highlands, and was the first deacon of that church. He early realized the importance of a railroad to facilitate communication be- tween all the Newtons, and labored long and assiduously for the establishment of what is now known as the Newton Cir- cuit Railroad — a lasting monument to his enterprise and liberality. Mr. Hyde has been twice married : De- cember 13, 1S54, to Sophia, daughter of Jonathan Stone of Newton ; and May 30, 1861, to Emily, daughter of John Ward, of that town. He has three children living : Elliott J., Mary E., and Frank C. Hyde. IDE, JACOB, son of Jacob and Mary (Emmons) Ide, was born in West Medway, Norfolk county, August 7, 1823.

He was for a short time teacher of ancient and modern languages in the city of Boston, afterwards teaching two years in the academy at Leicester.

March 26, 1856, he was ordained and installed as pastor of the Congregational church in Mansfield, where he has since remained. His pastorate has been one of unusual length, and he has been, during all these years, a faithful and earnest preacher, a worthy and honored citizen — active in all enterprises and projects tend- ing to elevate the moral standing of the town in which he has lived and labored for so many years. In i860 he went abroad, traveling through the different countries of Europe. Mr. Ide is a trustee of the Mansfield public library and of the Wheaton Female Seminary in Norton.
