Biographical / Historical
CHARLES FABRIQUE, 1817-1889
CHARLES FABRIQUE (Oxford, Conn.), eldest son of William L. and Hannah (Johnson) Fabrique, was born in Southbury, Conn., April 10, 1817. His parents removed to the adjoining town of Oxford in his infancy, where his boyhood was chiefly passed on a farm and in the district school, and where he remained until 1836, when he commenced fitting for college in the "Kimball Union Academy," at Meriden, N. H., remaining there until he entered college in August 1838.
After graduation, he spent two years and a half in the Theological Department of Yale College, taking advantage, at the same time, of the lectures in the Law and Medical Schools, connected with the same institution. In April 1845, he was invited to take charge of the academy (now high school) in Waterbury, Conn., and officiated as principal of that school until August 1852, acquiring in the mean time a high reputation as a teacher. After resigning his educational charge in Waterbury, he spent several months in traveling and in such other recreation as a temporary relief from his labors permitted him to enjoy.
In April 1853, he removed to New Haven, Conn., where he resumed the profession of teacher and spent twenty years in preparing boys for college and fitting them for business life, in a boarding and day school in that city. In his long and arduous labors in this special department of instruction, it is due to Mr. Fabrique to say, that he was eminently successful as a teacher, securing in the highest degree the public confidence, and most happily uniting the best qualities of the disciplinarian with those of the able instructor.
During his residence in New Haven, Mr. Fabrique has filled several important public positions, having served in both branches of the Common Council-three years as councilman and one year as alderman-and been a much longer time on the Board of Police Commissioners. He also took a very active and efficient part in organizing the Industrial School for girls, now located at Middletown, having been the first to petition the Legislature of the State for the establishment of that institution, and, at one time, laboring almost single handed and alone to advance that important and now thoroughly successful enterprise.
Since September 1873, he has been conducting the affairs of the New Haven Brush Company, whose manufacturing establishment is situated at the outlet of Saltonstall Lake in East Haven, having a valuable water power and prospectively a fine business.
He was married, July 14, 1845, to Miss Caroline S. Eastman, of New Haven, Conn., by whom he has had two children, both sons, the first born September 22, 1857, and the second, born February 26, 1861; died August 25, 1862.
