O. Jameson (1886) REV. ALEXIS WHEATON IDE. ALEXIS W. IDE, son of the Rev. Dr. Jacob and Mary (Emmons) Ide, was born Oct. 10, 1826, in West Medway. After a few years of business life he studied theology under the instruction of his father, the Rev. Dr. Ide, who fitted many young men for the Christian ministry. He was ordained July 7, 1859, at Stafford Springs, Conn., where he fulfilled a successful pastorate of eight years. He resigned July 2, 1867, and returned to his father's house, and with great fidelity and filial devotion he cared for his aged parents while they lived. The Rev. Mr. Ide was a member of the Legislature in 1872, and elected in 1874 Chaplain of the State Senate of Massachusetts. Since the death of his revered parents at very advanced ages, in 1880, the Rev. Mr. Ide has continued to reside in the old homestead, giving himself to labors of beneficence and usefulness and preaching the Gospel as his services were demanded.
