(VIII) Colonel Albert Pinder, son of Joseph Pinder (7), was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, March 21, 1841. He was educated there in the public schools. At the age of fourteen he went to work in the Belvidere Woolen Mill under Major Stott's father and followed this trade for five years. He left the Belvidere Mill to enlist in Company H, Sixth Regiment, Captain John Noyes, of Lowell, for three months. After his term of enlistment expired, he returned and re-enlisted for nine months and was stationed at Suffolk, Virginia. He was elected second lieutenant of his company soon afterward and served in a number of minor engagements. He re-enlisted afterward in the Fifty-ninth Regiment, Massachusetts Veteran Volunteers, which was consolidated with the Fifty-seventh (on account of loss of men in service) taking the latter number. This consolidated regiment with the Fifty-sixth and Fifty-eighth, was formed out of officers and men who had served previous enlistments, and was called the Massachusetts Veteran Brigade. Mr. Pinder's enlistment in this command was for three years as second lieutenant, was promoted to first lieutenant, and March 25, 1865, was commissioned captain, the very day that he was shot at the assault on Fort Steadman. The bullet passed in his right side, through the body, out through his left side, and he was given up for dead by the surgeons. Within three weeks, however, he was able to be about on crutches, and on April 19, 1865, came home. He rejoined his regiment July 1, 1865, and had charge of the Aqueduct Bridge between Georgetown and Washington, over the Potomac, until his regiment was mustered out of service in August, 1865. He was assistant provost marshal on General Ledley's staff. After his return to Lowell he remained in the militia and for ten years served as captain of Company G of Lowell. He was then elected major and finally lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. He remained in the militia until 1882, and was one of the best known and most popular officers in the state.

He went into the postal service after the war, and from 1865 to 1872 was a letter carrier under Postmaster John A. Goodwin. He left to accept an appointment on the state police force under Major Edward J. Jones. He served in this position five years, then went

into the Lowell police force under Marshal Clemence, but after a short time accepted an appointment in the Boston custom house. In 1879 he was appointed city marshal of Lowell, and served until 1880. He was elected superintendent of the City Farm in 1882 and filled the place with marked success for a period of eleven years. In 1896 he was again re-elected superintendent of the City Farm. He retired from this position in 1899, and since then has devoted himself to the care of his property and his real estate business.

HARTWELL

The surname Hartwell is an ancient one, being known in England since the days of William the Conqueror, one of that name having come with him from Normandy in the year 1066, and later received from that sovereign an allotment of lands in the parish of Ailesbury, Wold Hartwell, Bucks, England. As to the name, the spelling of Heartwell was common in New England in the early period, due perhaps to the lack of a general standard of spelling: Hartwell is undoubtedly the correct form. The arms borne by different branches of the family in England display very generally a buck's head or a hart's head, from which one may see that the derivation is from the name of the animal rather than from the name of the physical organ—the heart.
