Samuel Foster Haven (1806-81)
graduated from Amherst College in 1826 and was admitted to the bar
in 1829. He practiced law in both Dedham and Lowell, Massachusetts, before
assuming the librarianship of the Society in 1838, a position that enabled
him to
pursue his interests in archaeology.
This portrait, an oil on canvas, was painted by Edward L. Custer (1837-81)
in 1878.
