E. H. BARTRAM
SHARON: Town Clerk and Treasurer
Ezra Harris Bartram was born in the town of Sherman, Fairfield County, Conn., July 26, 1820. He depended upon the district schools of his native town for his education, and at the age of fifteen quitted both the town and school and took up his residence in Sharon, where he has since remained. He has followed mercantile pursuits for a considerable part of his life, and has otherwise been engaged in farming. At twenty-two years of age he was married to Miss Laura Williams, who died March 9, 1884. Six children survive her. Mr. Bartram is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Sharon. He is also a democrat, and has, as the candidate of that party, been frequently chosen to fill public offices in his town. He has been constable, assessor, and was a justice of the peace until excluded from further holding that office by his age. He is still a notary public, and continues to fill the important position of town clerk and treasurer. Mr. Bartram has not been conspicuously prominent in public affairs, on account of his quiet disposition and habits; but his life has been one of great usefulness, and he has the confidence and respect of all who know him.
