(Hazard) ---------------------------------- The following information was shared by Karen Ferency Baker (#47351306) From: History of Washington and Kent Counties, Rhode Island (by J. R. Cole W.W.Preston & Co., New York, 1889) p. 443-444 JOHN MAGLONE.--Mr. John Maglone, one of the substantial farmers of North Kingstown, was born at Kennebec, Maine, June 5th, 1828. His father, James Maglone, was employed in one of the saw mills at that place, but afterward moved to St. Johns, and from there to Boston, where he lived until 1835. In 1836 John Maglone found a home in the family of Jonathan Slocum, of Slocumville, North Kingstown. He remained in the family of Mr. Slocum for ten years, working on the farm, but during this important period of his life he was sent to school but a few weeks at the most. At the expiration of the allotted time he was given liberty to begin a career for himself. Without a dollar in money Mr. Maglone now wended his way to Newport, R. I., where he found employment with Edward Anthony as a farm hand. Two years later he returned to North Kingstown and worked for Robert Rodman for three years. In 1851 he married and began the business of farming on his own account on the old Congdon farm. By the year 1880 Mr. Maglone found himself financially able to purchase the valuable farm he now owns and to erect the elegant house in which he now resides. For over twenty years Mr. Maglone has been commissioner of highways for the town of North Kingstown, and in 1880 and again in 1881 he was elected state senator. Such is a bare outline of Mr. Maglone's record. Cast adrift when scarcely eight years of age, we find him thrown wholly among strangers, without parental guidance, left to make his own struggle as best he could, until time should enable him to begin that career which demands here something more than a passing notice. Unable to secure an education, Mr. Maglone has done for himself what colleges have failed to do for some, and in the practical tests of life he has acquitted himself fully. Mr. Maglone has succeeded by industry and honesty and by observing the principles of economy rather than by subterfuge or sharp dealing. His possessions now owned are the results of hard labor and no one can envy that once homeless boy the enjoyment of his desirable habitation, the results of his own handiwork. Those who well know John Maglone's past record unite in ascribing to him qualities of the highest character, and not only testify that he is thoroughly honest and upright, and one of the leading citizens of this part of the county, but also that the chronicler of the lives of successful men will rarely find a case just its parallel and its equal in importance. Mr. Maglone was married to Miss Sarah Congdon Hazard December 1st, 1851, and to this couple were born four children: Marcus, Charles, John, Jr., and Fannie Maglone.
