Biographical History
William Dummer Northend was born 26 February 1823, in Byfield, Massachusetts, and died 29 October 1902, in Salem, Massachusetts. He graduated from Bowdoin College, was admitted to the Massachusetts bar (1845), married Susan Stedman Harrod (1846), and practiced law in Salem, Massachusetts. Northend was a member of the Massachusetts Senate (1861-1862), and politically was a "Copperhead" during the Civil War. He became president of the Essex County (Massachusetts) Bar Association (1880s), a trustee of Dummer Academy, and an overseer of Bowdoin College. The Northends were the parents of four children, Louisa Huntington Benjamin, Mary Harrod, Susan Stedman, and William Wheelwright. Louisa Huntington married Charles Alfred Benjamin in 1871. Their daughter, Anna Northend Benjamin (1874-1902), was one of two female war correspondents who reached Santiago, Cuba before its surrender during the Spanish American War.
