   CHARLES TREDICK, in former years a well known insurance
man of Portsmouth, N. H. was born in this city April 3, 1846, and
died in Philadelphia, Pa., July 11, 1895. His parents were Thomas and
Martha (Stavers) Tredick, both natives of New Hampshire.
   Charles Tredick was engaged in the insurance business during his
entire active career, following it in New York and Philadelphia, spend-
ing the last twenty-eight years of his life in the latter city. He was
married in 1870 to Abbie E. N. Rowell, who was born in Amesbury,
Mass. a daughter of Samuel and Lydia Jones (Neal) Rowell, her father
being a native of Amesbury and her mother of North Berwick. They
were Quakers in religion, the father being a painter by occupation.
Their children were Oliver D., Samuel, Edward H., John, and Abbie.
Mrs. Tredick's paternal grandfather was Jacob Rowell; her mother was
a daughter of Hiram Neal. To Mr. and Mrs. Tredick were born two
children-Abbie Elizabeth and Martha Elizabeth, the former of whom
is the wife of Herbert Campion of Philadelphia and has four children-
Gail, Betty, Herbert and Horace. Martha E. Tredick married Charles
W. Brewster, a banker of Concord, N. H., and has a son, Charles T.
   Mr. Tredick was essentially a home-loving man. With his family
he belonged to the Presbyterian Church and during all his life, from
early manhood, took an active part in its good work. He was inter-
ested in every worthy cause, especially in everything calculated to im-
prove the moral, religious or material condition of the community, and
to such he gave the benefit of his aid and influence, so far as it lay in
his power. His sterling character was widely appreciated and he left
many friends to mourn his loss. His widow resides in a comfortable
home at No. 388 State Street, Portsmouth, it being the old Tredick
homestead, of colonial type, in which Charles Tredick was born.
