Prosser. Of that generation of business-men who were idenLifed with the Erie Canal in the days when it was the only great highway of commerce across the State, only a few survive. Another one of these, the veDerable Erastus S. Prosger, closed his life's history on Friday. Mr.

Prosser was born in Westerlo, bany County, September 9, 1809, and accordingly had reached the advanced age of 18. His father was a physician with a country practice which yielded an income barely adequate to the needs of the family, and accordingly the subject of this sketch at the early age of thirteen set about earning a living for himself. His first effort at self-support was on a farm where he worked for $4 per mouth. At the close of the summer the young boy decided to take' a trip out west," via the Erie Canal, which at that time was completed as far as Rochester, and was regarded as the engineering marvel of the age, He followed the new water-way as far as Clarkson, Monroe County, where he bad relations. There he spent two years in farm labor and attending school.

So rapid was his educational progress that at the age of 15 he was engaged as the teacher of a country school in Clarkson at $10 a month and board. During his second term his salary was advanced to $15 per month, but despite the encouraging progress he was making in the educational field, at the age of 18 he relinquished his position and secured a place as steersman on a canal-boat. The canal had then been completed as far as Buffalo. The young steersman soon worked his way up to the higher post of captain, and at the age of 19 found himself a part owner of a 28-ton craft, called The Lion of Lockport," and worth about $500. Three years of boating and three years as clerk in a Brockport grocery enabled Mr.

Prosser to save up about. $3,000. He then returned to his native county, and took a $500 clerkship in the forwarding house of Dows Cary at Albany. Mr. David Dows, one of the leading millionaires of NewYork to-day, was a brother of the senior member of the firm, and held a subordinate position in the house at that time.

At the end of the first year Mr. Prosser was admitted to partnership by his employers, the firm name being changed to Dows, Cary Prosser. This relation continued three years, and proved very profitable, laying the foundation of Mr. Prosser's future tortune. He continued in the transportation business at Albany in various capacities, sometimes alone and sometimes with others until 1854.

He then removed to Buffalo and entered into a business arrangement with R. Cobb and R. C. Palmer, whereby the three parties consolidated their transportation interests, consisting of a stock of about 1,500 animals for towing purposes. This combination practically controlled this branch of the canal towing business.

Three years later Mr. Prosser sold out to his two partners, and built the first two steam canal-boats ever propelled on the canal with any promise of success. Eventually, the deceased retired from the canal business altogether, and some 15 years ago bought extensive cement works at Albion, which he continued to operate during the remainder of his life. In politics Mr. Prosser began life as a Democrat, with affinity for the Free Soil branch of the party.

In 1856 he went with the great body of Democratic Free Soilers into the Philadelphia convention and organized the Republican party and nominated Col. Fremont for President. From that time on his allegiance to the party which he helped to form was unwavering. In 1858 he was elected to the State Senate to fill 3 vacancy created by the resignation of the Hon. James Wadsworth, and at the conclusion of the partial term, was re-elected for a full two-years' term.

He was likewise chosen a member of the convention to revise the State Constitution in 1866, his associates in the Erie-county delegation being Judges G. W. Clinton, J. S. Masten, and I.

A. Verplanck, and Messrs. Allen Potter and Israel T. Hatch. Both in the Senate and in the Conslitutional Convention Mr.

Prosser was a staunch defender of the canals. Mr Prosser was three times married, his last wife being Miss Mary A. Finnegan of this city, who survives him. Four children by his first wife are also living. These are Henry W.

Prosser of NewsYork, Mrs. John Armstrong of New-York, Mrs. Harriet Ruger of Syracuse, and Miss Anna Prosser of this city. The parents of the deceased were Quakers, but he left home at so early an age that the family religion did not make a lasting impression on his mind. Later in life he became nominally a Prestyterian, and finally gave his assent and support to the Unitarian doctrine, becoming one of the staunch friends and members of the Church of Our Father, The funeral took place from his late home, No.
