    Notes:

    He attended the public schools of his native city and early in life was apprenticed to a pilot, but soon abandoned the sea and began to learn the art of book-binding in the employ of J.B. Lippincott. After learning his trade he worked as a journeyman in Philadelphia and Boston, and in 1842 came to Worcester to work for Hutchinson & Crosby, taking the position left vacant when John B. Gough, the famous temperance lecturer, left his trade for the platform. In 1845 he established himself in business as a book binder in Worcester and continued to the end of his life. In the course of time both his sons were admitted to partnership under the firm name of J.S. Wesby & Sons, and the business is still conducted by the sons, Herbert and Edward, under the original name. The binding of the Puffer Genealogy book was done in the office of J.S. Wesby & Sons, Graphic Arts Building, Foster Street. Mr. Wesby was made an Odd Fellow in Philadelphia. In the early part of 1844, he with J.W. Coburn took steps to form a lodge of the I.O.O.F in Worcester and from an address delivered by the Hon. A. S. Pinkerton at the dedication of the Odd Fellows Temple in Worcester in 1909 we learn that "in his little shop was planted the seed that has flowered into so marvelous a fruitage in this community."
