Mr. Howard E. Plimpton of Norwood, whose funeral occurred this afternoon at his home, was the youngest son of Calvin G. and Priscilla Plimpton of Walpole. His father and his grandfather were Iron manufacturers at Plimptonville, the station on the New England Railroad beyond Norwood. He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy. His bent, however, was for mechanics, and after leaving there he decided to learn some manufacturing business. With that end in view, he visited the different knit-goods manufactories of New England, and finally found a place at Waterford. N. Y. Here he commenced work, and after six months became assistant superintendent of the whole mill. Learning all he could at that place, he then went to New Brunswick, N. J., but falling to get a position there he went to the Medllcott Mills in Springfield, where he became assistant superintendent.
