1858 - 1941
l)uri::ig the nineteenth "'entttry so ioony private
oharitabla or 6anizations devoloped in Boston
that it would s ec,:.. as though every person in
need would have been cared for by them, and that
soon there would be no poor person remaining.
Although the activities of these organizations
were beneficial and extensive, they were not
adequate to care for all the needy whose nv.mbers
were swelled by the thousands of ilumigrants that
landed at Boston fleeing from the famine conditions of Europe oaused by the wide-spread
failure of the po-\ato crops.
~,
In li52 the ClillllillOnwealth of 1.'Bssachusetts
voted to build three 11.lmshouses. '.l'o eare for
the poor in state-s•pported institutions was an
experiment originating with L:Jassachusetts. '.l'he
buildings at Tewksbury, 1:ionson and Bridgewater
were filled soon after their official openings
in 1854, and became · crowded way beyond their
capacities by 1857, a year when the suffering of
the poor was very great.
'.l'he following year on December first, 1:iary
Harkins was born in Boston. :Ier mother, Hannah
rlarkina, was unable to care for her, and eventually relinquished 1-Bry to the Tewksbury Almshouse, about twenty-five miles north of Boston.
,efO Quite a number of years were to pass before the
~areful and wise cultivation of the poor sandy
soil of the almshouse acre~ge would transform it
into a productive farm. .lidary was at the 'l'ewksbury Jl.lmshouse in the early years wh,n, as one
historian states, "the neglected appearance of
the buildings was a disgrace to the state. 11 'l'he
stark building was surrounded by a sandy pro~pect where not a tree provided shade and where
neither a grassy iawn nor a bed of flowers had
been planted. Perhaps part of the neglect was \"
due to the unsettled conditions prevailing dur-1-
�ing the Civil Vvar, for even the residents of the
almshouse were a part of the activities of a
nation at war. From the inmates nearly a company of soldiers was raised and many others went
as substitutes. About one tenth of the residents
were children but they contributed to the war
effort by scraping lint, which was used for the
wounded.
l\:6ry began her schooling at the 'l'ewksbury institution, but when she was seven years old was
transferred to the Mons on Almshoue&. Vvhen the
three state almshouses were opened all ages were
accepted at each institution. After a few years
the state decided to use the Bridgewater Aliushouse for the needy who were able to work. It
becali.le known as the Bridgewater Workhouse. 1'he
Tewksbury Almshouse was kept for those who, because of age or physical condition, were helpless. The Monson Almshouse became the State
Farm School. 'l'he children from the other two
homes were transferred to Monson, and it became
the center for housing and educating the children who were wards of the state. 'l'here was
great hope that the training they reoeived would
enable them to lead useful lives which would be
a benefit rather than a burden to the state.
'l'he town of Monson was between Worcester and
Springfield, and the almshouse was located in
its northern section overlooking the village of
Palmer Depot a mile away. ..Ii.bout five a ores of
land around the wooden building were enclosed by
a fence. Surrounding this was a large farm of
nearly three hundred acres which provided ample
space for lurge gardens where potatoes, a basic
food of their diet, and other vegetables grew
we.1.l. Chickens supplied fresh eggs, their own
cows provided fresh milk, and pigs were raised
to supply the residents with pork.
Vvhen 11:ary Harkins entered the Monson State
F'e.rm School sho was assigned a bed in a pleasant
clean room; was provided with comfortable# neat
... 2-
�~lathing, and Bliuple nourishing food. L:8ry soon
learned the meals' routine. For breakfast each
day she and the other children were served bread
and milk or craokers and milk. 'l'he bread "of
the best wheat flour" was wade fresh each day in
the school kitchen • .il.t noon the main meal of the
day was served. the regular round of dishes
varied somewhat with the season, but all were
designed to preserve good health. 'l~ice a week
beef soup with potatoes was served; corned beef,
bread, rice and 1UOlasses, also twice a week;
fish with rice and bread twice a we ek; beans,
pork and bread once a week. Supper for ltJary and
the young children was another bowl of bread and
milk. ·vvhen a child was sick, special diets were
prepared with rice, molasses, ohieken, beef tea,
or creemed toast tempting the appetite, and care
would be given in the hospital rooms.
Every morning 11:firy gethered with the other
children for devotional exercises led by the
ehaplain. 'l'he administrators of the school believed their 1Uost fo1portant work was the development of Christian character, and the superintendent, chaplain and teachers worked together
with that purpose. 0n Sunda y lllorn ings, fuary went
to the chapel for the worship service and in the
afternoons attended the ~unday School.
Bach weekday 1UOrning school classes were
held. Although most of the students had unfortunate backgrounds, +;hey showed a generel quiakness of apprehension and good musical ability.
Distipline was mild, firm and oaternel.
·
Following the afternoon ·se;sion of school,
kiary played with the younger children. When the
weather was pleasant they enjoyed the large play
area that was nearly enclosed by the building
and its wings. '.i.'he office of the supe rintendent
overlo oked the yard, and he often obsi:::;rved the
activities of the children. 1'he older children
had duties to perform eithe r in ·Lhe kitchen or
some other part of t !:w building, or on the farm •
• ,3, .
�As the month of 1\'ily drew to a close in 1866 an
event took place that was to change the entire
pattern ·o f Mary Harkins I life. A middle-a ged
gentleman, a farmer from the Berkshire hill town
of Granvill e , blssachusetts, arrived at the
State Farm School. Mr. Cyrus Phelon had made
arrangements with the Inspectors of ·che Institution to take two children by indenture. He was
seeking a boy to help with the farm work and a
girl to assist his wife with the housework. 'l'hey
were to perform certain duties for him, and in
turn he was to provide certein benefits for
them. If, after a trial period of a month or
two, they proved satisfactory, indenture papers
would be signed.
During early colonial times the system of indenture had provided most of the servants in the
homes. People who wished to migrate to .America
but were Wllable to pay their passage would be
"bought" by someone desiring their services. 'l'he
ship captain would accept such people as passengers and "sell" them when he r eached a harbor.
A contract would be signed whereby the captain
received the passage money, the person
would
agree to a term of service, and the master would
agree to provide certain remw1era tion. 'l'he terms
varied considerably and some were unusua 1 and
very interesting, but they generally included
clothing and maintenance withe. sum of money at
the end of the indenture. If the indentured
person was young the contract usually included e.
promise of some schooling .
'l'he system of indentm:e c ontinued to some extent through the nineteenth century and was
practised by t J\VD and county authorities who had
the care of orphans • . 'l'~fll'3' had the right to bind
out orphans at any age to Illasters who would look
after them and bring them up in some trade or
profession.
Mr. Phelon completed his business with the
} nsp ectors · and began the journey of a bout thirtyfiv ::: ,ailes to (;wnv i lle. With him were fourteen

-4-
�yee.r old Joseph Welch .and eight-and-e.-he.li' year
old kary Harkins. Joseph was to serve as an
apprentice in agriculture, and Mary in houseke eping. Of the s everal hw1dred children at the
a.l.mshou.se thev had b een chos0n ;:;.c the best suibeJ.
to 1.,::-,a Phelan" fernily. No doubt i.ary a lread:y gave
eviden\.e of the i nnustriousness and sprightlin~ss thut would characterize her later l a f'e.
Probably they tra ve lled ty trai~ from Pal.li'ler Depot to Westfield, f:r om where the Phelan team and
~arriage would take them to the farm in Granville. Cyrus Phelan was a prominent, respected
citizen of Granville. He was fifty years old
and had been a farmer all of his life. Recently
he had sold his home, Farnham Farm, and moved
his falllily, farm ani.mals and equiplllent to a hundred acre farm on Clement Road (now Phelan Road)
which was to become the Phelan homestead and to
consist eventually of three hundred and eighty
acres of fields, pasture and woodland.
It had been a very long day for Milry. '.l.'he
level river plains around Westfield had given
way to the foothills of the Berkshires, and the
horses had stopped often to rest as they pulled
the carriage up the steep country roads. '.l'hrough
woods where the leaves were still a tender
spring green, past farms where the stock enjoyed
the succulent young grass that grew in the stony
pastures, stopping at a roadside spriI'-g where
sparkling mountain water re.: >·eshed both the
travelers and the horses, they finally ~· ._: a ched
the schoolhouse where Mary would study her boola3.
Another mile passed and L;a ry caught sight of the
farmhouse and buildings v1h ich would b ecome lovingly familiar during the next eight years.
Scarcely a level are~ could be seen, but fi 0lds
spread over the rolling countryside. Various
small buildings clustered arot nd the large white
farmhouse that was nearly one hundred years old
(built in 1782), and across the road was the new
barn.
1'he Phelan family, wondering about the new
-5-
�e n; ldren, we.s watcl1:'.ng expectantly L ., r the wellknown carria ge to cross the brook in that last
dip and climb the last rise to pull into the
yard. No less curious was ei 6 ht-and-a-half year
old lilry about these strangers anDng whom she
was to live.
Fourteen-year-old John Phelon and his brother
twenty-one-year old William helped l\'iary from the
carriage, unloaded the parcels and led the horse
to the
barn .
Celia, the sixteen-year old
daughter and school teacher, and Ellen, her sister who was nineteen, brought lviary and J oseph
into the house where they met Lucy Phelon, their
new mistress. She welcomed them kindly.
'l'he trial month passed satisfactorily
for
klary l::furkins and on June twenty-eighth the forlll/;l 1 indenture paper
was signed. 1Jary was eight
and a half years old when she was bound out to
.w.r. Phelan as an apprentice in housekeeping. She
was to be in the care of l,·Jr. Phelan until she
reached her eighteenth birthday. In addition to
having her instructed in the duties of housekeeping, Tuir. Phelan agreed that he would "give
her suitable opportunities at school, so that
she may learn the several branches of spelling,
reading, writing, arithme·l::ic, geography, grammar
and other t h ings us ua llj taught in our common
.schools; that he will give her or cause to be
g, ive n to he r proper Moral and Religious Instruction, and allow f,nd require her to attend public
religious worship on the Sabbath, providing her
with suit'.:lble apparel therefor: - that he will
treat h e r kindly, exerc is i'1g over her a perenta l
oare and control; ·';hat he will watch over her
morals, endeav0 s ing: by all means to guard her
against vicious ha t its and practises, and train
her up in such a way that she will become virtuous, intelligent and useful. 11
'l'he c ,~mtract further specified that I~Jr. Phelon
wculd prov ide lvJary with "suitable board and
clo thing" and· care for L.:, r "in a suitable manner.

�both in sickness and in hea 1th. 11 Who o lliry
should re1;1ch the age of eighteen, he pledged, if
she hl-ci served hi111 faithfully, to provide her
"with t\"10 .full suits of good clothes, one .for
tho ~abbath and the othar for working duys, and
1:.1lso a cloak, aud shawl, nnd will also give her

�and then strained into pails where it became
solid v;hen cold. 'l'his was the shortening used
for making the nies which were en almost daily
part of thei,r diet, and for filling 1- "l•3 great
iron kettle for the weekly fryi~ of doughnuts.
i~ot far fr om the kitchen ell was the hen
house. Luring the winter when the cold was
severe and the hours of daylight few, the hens
laid almost no eggs, but in the spring they resumed their egg laying. Y'lhen they were allowed
to roam outside their house during the warm
spring days many of them would find secret
plaees for their nests. Y'lhen Mary gathered the
eggs she would hunt for these nests, but no matter how carefully she looked, a nest or two
would be hidden so well she never found it. She
would be aware she had missed a nest only when a
hen escorted its brood of little chicks into the
open where they scr~tched for grain and chased
grasshoppers. Some of these chicks gr ew to become layers in the flock and others provided
chicken pies for t :tG family. Usw.lly two or
three of the largest rooaiers were raised to
provide roasting chickens fo:c- the 'l'hanksgiving
dinner 6r some other special occasion.
1£ry was very f04d of the horses. How she
loved to hear the jingle of their bells as they
qrew the sleigh over snow packed roads on winter
Sundays or when some member of the faud 7.y needed
to go to townl Horses were needed for their
travels and t o help with inany of the farm jobs,
but the Phelons also had teams of oxen. 'l'hese
slow, patient, strong anil11_Ells brought from -the
woods the cords of firewood needed for the farmhouse stoves, and logs to be sawn into lumber.
'l'he first winter 1-iiry spent at the Phelon
homestead brought snow and oold with all the
severity of the Berkshir·e hills. At the end of
November and two days before L!.iary' s ninth birthday, furs. Phelan gave birth to her fifth child.
Fourteen years had passed since the birth of her
last ohild, and during the nin';;j years reUJSining
,,g_
�of her life she never was to be strong. '.l'he
little baby, though, must have been endowed with
special strength from his parents and the invigorating hill country, for he was to enjoy the
land of his birth over one hundred years. 'l'he
baby was named Austin, and became the special
charge and constant companion of Mary.
the year that Cyrus Phelon decided to replace
his tobacco field with an apple orchard was a
time of great interest to the entire family.
kery no doubt took little Austin often to the
slope where the young nursery stock had been
planted, and together they identified each variety. '.l'here were ba ldwins and greenings 1 russets and spies, and other old varieties. One of
Austin's earliest memories was the setting of
the orchard, and when, following his father's
death, he became the head of the Phelan homestead, ':me eare ,of the apple orchard and the
producing of excellent apples were his great
pleasure.
By the time the young trees reached maturity
Cyrus Phelan had built a cider mill under the
barn. i\.11 apples that fell short of his high
standard for marketing were made first into
cider and then into vinegar. 'l'o make vinegar
the fresh cider would be poured into wooden
casks and set aside in a cool, dirt-floor cellar
where, as the weeks passed, the sweet cider fermented and then soured. When it passed Mr.
Phelon' s exaeting tests the vineg,ar was marketed.
-1'hroughout the long winter, apples stored for
the family provided tasty pies and between-meal
snacks. During the school term Mary often had
an apple in her lunch pail. '.l'he schoolhouse
stood in the corner of neighbor Stowe's lot, a
mile's walk from the Phe lon fa rm, and Mary attended each term. '.l'he teacher boarded around at
the homes of her pupils and l~ry looked forward
to the walk to school with the teacher when she
stayed with the Phelons.
-10-
�By the time Austin reached school age, Mary
~e.s one of the oldest of the pupils in the · oneroom schoolhouse. With its vaulted ceiling, the
building was yet plain and simple; but when the
sunshine left brilliant rectangles of light
across the wooden floor, or the wood stove
radiated heat on a chilly day, the room was
bright and cheerful. Opposite the door was the
teacher's desk, and behind it was the bli:.cl<boa:·ti.•
On P.f,ch side of the blackboard and exteno.ing in
a continuous line the_ length of the room were
the pupils I desks. 'l'hey were attached to the
wall, aHd a continuous bench in front of them
provided seats for the pupils. When they were
writing or studying they faced the wall, but
when it was time for reciting, the pupils swung
their legs over the bench and faced the center
of the room. It was no problem at all for the
boys to swing their feet over the benches, but
the girls had to do it carefully and modestly,
Their long skirts and petticoats were bulky and
eould easily catch on the rough benches. Boys
were required to divert their eyes from the
girls, but lllllny a boy had to stand before the
teacher to be punished because he looked at some
girl while she .manipulated her feet over the
bench. Family tradition says that such a punishment befell young 1~ustin~ when his eyes strayed.
to a little girl as she swung her skirts over
the bench.
ihe stone walls of J:Jr. Stowe's farm separated
the school ye.rd from his fields and the temptation was strong for the children to run along
the top of them during recess and the noon hour.
1:Jr. Stowe objected to having stones dislodged,
and put a stop to it; but there were plenty of
other games for the youngsters to play.
Austin spent many hours at home playing with
models of inventions which his father had wade
and patented. 'l'hese were a 11 scow cart" and a
four-wheeled wagon
equipped
with automatic
brakes. ~hen oxen or horses would pull a wagon
-11-
�on the level or up a hill the brakes would be
free. but as s oon as the team started down hill
the forward pressure of the wa gon enga ged the
brakes and prevented the wa gon fr om proc e eding
too f&st. idr. Phelan also had solved the problem that a team of oxen might enc ount er in the
woods when a stump or r ock in the path made it
necessary for one of the oxen to go on one side
of it, and the other on the opposite side. He
invented a yoke that expanded. from the sidewise
pressure of the oxen and returned to normal
width when they had pa s sed the obstacle. 1'he
mode ls were so sturdily built that t hey ha ve remained in the Phelon family ove r a hundred years
and have provided happy hours of play for lllElny
children.
1·.iary was t o observe that little
Austin's play with these models developed into
the skill of m1aa1aging full sized wagons and real
ox teams. 1!any a d::.i y he pref erred to stay away
from school so that he could drive an ox team in
the farm work.
On Sundays all unnecessary work was set aside
and 1Ja ry with the other members of the Phelan
family attended worship services at the church
in West Granville. From the farm to the church
was a distance of ab out five miles, and the
younger memb ers of the family often walked.
Scattered f a rmhouses marked the way alon 6 North
Lane, but after the turn onto the wain road and
for the last mile. the houses were closer together. Past the cemetery at t he top of the
hill they travelled; then down into the hollow,
across Pond Brook, and. up the gra de t o the store
and academy and church · at the cros croads. Setting back fr om the village green was the ehurch
that had been built in 1778 while the country
was in the midst of the Revolutionary War. '.l'hree

I..iary clilllbed the few steps leading to the sanctuary and to Jk her place with others in the
choir which gathered in the front around the

�returned. Just before- the •lock struck three
she callle; · the vows were exchanged, the ceremony
completed, and klry and Nelson clilubed into
their carriage and turned the horse toward Riverton, Conn. 'l'hus began their marriage that was
to last more than s ixty-aix years.
l..Jary and Nelson's first child was born a year
later E.t their home on Hort 1: 1':me. l~elson' s
motl-.., , , in a letter to his 6 rand111othE, !', Dec.:, cmber
17, 1875, wrote of the baby Charles: 11 Nelson and
ldary have got a nice baby boy. It was born the
first day of November. lt waid 7½ pound.a~ It
has a nuf to eat and is a good baby. It looks
as Nelson did when he was a baby. llii.lry is very
smart."
During the early years of their marriage,
Nelson began his logging and lumbering business
which he continued until his age forced his retirement. For several years Mary with her children joined him as he set up camp on various
woodlots. Both Stella and Ellen were born II in
the woods, 11 but before their sixth child, Grace,
arrived, 1ii.ry gave up the woods camp life. 'l'he
family had lived in a ni..unber of different houses
on the ma in road in West Granville before Nelson
bought the house in which ~ry was to live the
rest of her life. Just west of Pond Brook on
the So~th side of the road, this story-and•ahalf house with a porch around tlto sides became
her home. On the left of the ha 11 was the parlor with its black horse-hair furniture. On the
right was l.:.iary and l'folson I s bedroo1,L. 11.t the end
of the hall was the large kitchen with the bla .~k
wood cookstove and a lor.g dining tabJ.o . where
there was room for the whole family, which came
to nurnber ten children. Upstairs were the children's bedrooms whose ceilings sloped under the
low roof. In the ell was the SUlruner kitchen
where, during warm we:.: t her, the baking and cooking were done. In the c enter of the s wnmer kitchen was the well over whos e protective stone
-15-
�t.
•l:i. the children, and later
the grsclichil<lren,
peered to eatch a glimpse of the water u.any feet
below. 'l'o bring up water a bucket was lowered.
'.l'he rope went over a pulley fastened to the raf ..
ters. On one end was the bucket and on the
other end was tied a large stone whieh rose to
the rafters as the bucket was lowered to the
water. Yfuen the full bucket was pulled up, the
weight of the dropping stone eased the . effort of
raising the heavy bucket. As the bucket reached
the edge of the wall the stone landed on the
floor with a 11 clunk 11 , and the bucket was pulled
to the side and emptied into pitchers or pails.
For many years all tho water needed for 1-iary' s
large household was obtained in this way. How
cool and refreshing a drink of this delicious
water was on a hot SUlllluer's day, but if hot
water was needed it had to be heated on the
stove. In the winter, water that sloshed over
the edge of the pails onto the floor froze and
made very a lippery footing for anyone drawing
water.
Shortly after buying the property Nelson
built a barn back of the house. His lumbering
business provided the timbers. One night, before
the frame had been sheathed, Nelson was awakened
by the sound of the outside kitchen door opening
and closing. He discovered that 1-.iary was no
longer in bed and wondered where she could be
going. It was a night when moonlight flooded
the landscape. By the time he arrived outside
he could see Mlry, her nightgown white in the
moonlight, climbing a ladder that had been left
against the barn framework. Higher and higher
she climbed until she reached the ridgepole. She
walked the length of the ridgepole, turned and
walked back, olimbed down the ladder and started
to return to the house. Nelson stepped toward
her, spoke her name and reached for her hand---and l\:f\ry woke up~ Du1 in[ the entire adventure
sh0 had been walking, in her sleep.
Another ni 6 ht both l\k; lson and Miry were wak-16-
�ened by the sound of the front door being opened
very cautiously, and muffled footsteps in the
hall. i'fols on 11vas up in an instant, calling,
11
-Who • s ther e ?" '.l'he only answer was the thump of
running f eet on the porch as the intruder fled.
Nels on . . ften had l a rge sums of money in the
house because of his lumber business, and someone must have been trying to get it.
"When L:tf:lry was thirty-eight years old her
tenth child, M:i.y, was born. 'l'he boys had been
named Charles, Frank, .Arthur, Fred and Porter.
the girls were Louise, Stella, Ellen, Gra•e and
-· 1By. Grace was thirteen when ~y was born and
becallle like a second mother to her. May was a
be~utiful curly-headed little girl and a favorite with the entire family. Vvhen she was five
she started school at the one-room schoolhouse
· beyond the church, but before her second year
she was taken seriously ill with spinal meningitis and died when only six years old. lier
little grave was next to Frank's, Mlry's second
ehild, who lived only two years.
West Granville was a pleasant country com1uunity extending over the broad tops of the
Berkshire hills of souttwestern Mlssaohusetts.
1'he first white settler had built his rude oabin
in the unbroken wilderness in 1736, but !oto, an
Indian chief, and generations of his forebears
had roamed these hills. On a trail that crossed
the West Granville hills they travelled to
and from the "Great Wigwam, 11 an area in what is
now Great Barrington. '.l.'radition claims this
Great Wigwam as the central capitol of the House.tonics from earliest times down to the coming
of the English. During King Phillip's war, Captain John '.i'alcott, in 1676, with a body of Connecticut soldiers and friendly Indians had pur~
sued a band of fleeing Indians along the trail
t o the Great Wigwam.
With the establishment in
t he 1700's of the Indian scho 0l and mission at
Stockbridge and the beginning of other settle•
-17-
�ments, the trail became known as the 11 Great RoaC:. 11
and was the main route fo r the trave llers from
Westfi e ld to Albany. 'l'he Great Road crossed
the Great River, the Hou.satanic, at a ford near
the site of the Great Wigwam. With the passing
of time a road through towns to the north of
Granville became the main road between Westfie ld
and Albimy, but the route of the Great Road continued to be the rnEi in road through West Gra nville. 1-lary and l~els on 1 s home was beside it.
During the latter part of the 1800 1 s several
people from cities in l,t:1sse.Ghusetts &nd Connecticut traveled t n is road t o t ~1e ir sununer hOlllt;; S in
West Granville. 'l'hey welcomed U :.0 village's
unhurried life, rutged landscape and bracing
mountain air,
ltiary, noted f or being a good cook, provided
home-baked food for many of ,the se suiruuer res ide nts. Pies, cakes, doughnuts and bread were
wade to their order. Always on baking day 1:iary
made an extr"l pie 11 for the min ister" and one of
the ,hildren carried it to the pars ona ge.
It was not unusual for 1.iary to have extra
people for meals, and with his increasing age
and varied experiences Nelson acquired l!lflny interesting stories and provided entertailllllent for
the guests. It might be someone who stopped to
do lumbering business or to talk over town affairs when Nelson was selectman. His family
were also frequent visitors, for his parents
lived nearby on North Lane until their deaths in
the 1890 1 s, and his brothers and sisters were in
towns not far away. As· his children married and
established homes of their .own they returned for
visits to the homestead and some of the grandchildren spent their SUllllUer vacations with rielson and Mary.
No guests were more happily wel•omed by Mary
than Ellen Lucy Phelon. wben •ry first became
a part of the Phelon family Ellen, eleven years
older than she, must have received her with
greu t kindness,
for they becu;ae lif e--long
--18-
�friends. M:iry showed her appreciation of the
relationship by naming one of her own daughters
Ellen. Even when Ellen Phelon ~nd her husband
11
Vin 11 Barnes were both in their eighties and
frail in body they made the trip from their home
in Westfield to spend an occasional day with
1ary and ~elson. One granddaughter recalls the
seemingly endless conversations 11 Vin11 Barnes and
Nelson had about land transactions, boundary
lines and corners; but :Mary's delight was in the
company of Ellen, who at first had given a forlorn child affection, and who through the years
had been as close as a sister.
Porter, the youngest son, :married Alice Hoskins who had come to West Granville to teach
school. .tl.fter living for a ti.me on North Lane
they bought a house up the hill from Nelson and
ldary. Porter and Alice were always giving a
helping hand when Nelson and Mary needed one,
and eventually provided all their care. l'hey
were the ones who took them to visit their chil•
dren. Louise had married Frederick Johnson and
lived on a large farm in Goshen, Conn., where
she entertained SUllllller guests in the big house •
.Arthur and his family lived nearby in l'orrington,
Conn., and Stella was in Winsted until eventually moving to Illinois. Grace had married
Almon G. Knox, a carpenter in Huntington, 1\-iass.
Fred and Baldwin, and Charles and his wife,
"Frank", lived in Westfield, and so did Ellen
and Roy Barnes. Nelson and mry always spent
Christmas with Ellen's family. It was Porter
and Alice who drove them over the Berkshire
hills to these family gatherings, doing the
morning chores before they left, and the evening
milking when they returned.
On October 21, 1924, Nelson and Mary eelebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. .A family dinner party was held in the afternoon at
the Academy building next to +he West Granville
church. 11.ll eight of their children and sixteen
-l9-
�grandchildren were present as well as Nelson's
three brothers, Fred, 1'heron and Frank, and hi r,
sister, Hattie~
In the e-v,ening friends a nd
neighbors greeted them and enjoyed a social time
at the Academy.
'l'heir sixtieth anniversary was observed with
an open h ouse at the Frisbie homestead where
friends e.nd relatives offered their c ongntulations and belit wishes. Dressed in their "Sunda y
Best", Nelson and L:!ary were a striking c o uple .
'fall and spare, his hair and beard e.s white as
snow, Nelson loved t o talk of days gone bY•
Mary's hair wa s white, too, and when she stood
beside Nels on her head was below his shoulder.
She h a d n ever been tall. She used to tell her
grr, ndch ildr en that she h a d worn h e r l egs short
by running s o ofte n back and forth from the
pantry to the c oo kstove. 11 1:fy litt l e ,,oman," she
was affectionately called by one of her friends
a s she put h e r arms around w ry.
Nelson and IJ"B ry were to note their sixtyfifth annive r sa ry still in their own ho1Ue. Nels on celebrate d his 86th. birthday on the same
day, and 1.ary was 80.
Following the next anniversary ldary 1 s hea 1th
began to fail. After being confined to her bed
for several weeks and having only partial awareness of her surroundings, her last moments were
marked with a smile th8t, spreading over her
face, lightened hP-r countenance and blessed the
family at her side; her earthly "indenture was
settled by mutual consent."
Mary's life had begun in Boston and came to a
close in the Berkshires. Her body was laid to
rest under the trees in the hilltop cemet ery of
West Granville. Nearly eight
years wouldp'lSS
before Nelson · would quietly slip away in his
sle ep. but he would remember 1.:Bry during that
tillle with the esteem expressed in her fune ral
tribute:
11
'.i'he heart of her husband doth safely
trust in her. ·•• She will do him go od u nd
-20-
�not evil all the days of her life ••• She
loolrnth well to the ways of hor household, and eute th not the bread of idleness •••
Her husband prniseth her."

the tender sympathy of their many friends. Mr Hale was twice married. His first wife, Georgia Marshall, died 22 years
ago and he next married his wife's niece, Harriet Marshall, on March 12, 1886, who survives him with three children,
Frances E Hale, daughter by his first wife; Charles W of Waterbury and Merton who lives at home here. A brother
George Hale, was a member of Co. F, 27th Mass. Vol. infantry and was shot while in the service at Roanoke island.
The funeral will be held at the Second Congregational chapel Saturday at 2 PM, Rev N M Calhoun officiating. Burial

[Clipping] Massachusetts. Massachusetts rises in Barrett Wendell's backyard, and flows thence
in an Easterly direction through Harvard college [sic] football field, and empties into the Back bay.
It is bounded on the north by the Transcendental Aesthetic, on the east by the Atlantic Monthly, on
the south by Charles Eliot Norton, and on the west by the Chicago university [sic]. Massachusetts
is the only State in the Union where a man can be a religious infidel and retain the respect of
everyone. Massachusetts is noted for pie, pugilism and peripatetics. It seceded from Mary Baker
Eddy some years ago, and is now only a limited beanery, with no claims on anyone.
[contd] Massachusetts has for its trademark the Masasachusetts face, known all over the world.
A man with a Massachusetts face is welcome wherever there is a text-book. Massachusetts
raises beliefs, cranks, and old maids. When a man visits Massachusetts he can steer clear of
beliefs, can learn to avoid cranks, but the old maids will get him if he doesn't watch out.
Massachusetts is the only state of mind we have. It is divided into two parts - Boston and the
overflow. When you are born in Boston, a physician call[s] and presents you with a college
degree, after which you are fully equipped to live in New York and look down on the barbarians of
that gambling district.

Cyrus 1907
[Clipping] For the Commercial Advertiser. January. By Jennie Joy. Another year is born to us!
At the close of a calm, holy, Sabbath day, the old year went wearily to her death. Tears were shed
as the day of her departure drew near, for, from her glorious natal hour, until the robes were
whitened and prepared for her burial, had she [sic] been to us what no other year had ever been.
Who can measure the worth of the dear, kind friends who had gathered around us at her bidding,
or form a just estimate of the value of the countless blessings which her hand had so lavishly
scattered at our feet? To her had we breathed our hopes, whispered our fears, confided our
secrets with no apprehensions of betrayal, and ever found her faithful. And so we watched with
her until the last, while stars, like bright sentinals stepped forth to guard the few remaining hours of
her existance [sic] from the hostile invasion of warring elements; and the winds of heaven chanted
a low requiem for the pale, cold, dying year, passing slowly away.
At the last breath of the old, lo! a new bright year came forth, anointed with the oil of joy, clad
in the garments of praise and thanksgiving.
It is the beginning of another chapter in the great book which God Himself is writing, a chapter
of three hundred and sixty-five pages which you and I, reader, must read, some of us in the soft,
mild, roseate glow of youth's glad morning, some in the brilliant light of the meridian sun, and
others in the cool, grey, subdued shades of life's decline. In joy and gladness, or pain and
weariness, as God willeth.
But whether the leaves shall be turned in light or darkness, it were better not to mar the
Heaven-executed volume by useless tears or vain regrets; but to strive to find on every leaf the
finger-marks of the Creator, and in every line some sweet lesson of patience, trust and love, which
may hallow and brighten each page of the chapter as it unrolls before us.
And shall we not endeavor to make this chapter purer and better than any previous one, more
worthy to be placed in the high archives of Heaven when all is finished? And it were expedient for
us to remember that it is not only deeds and words that are recorded within the ponderous cover
of God's book, but also the thoughts that spring up in the soul without utterance - sinful, unholy
reflections, thoughts we would blush to speak, which help to make up this volume of our lives. Let
us guard well these secret channels of thought, checking the foul, turbid waters at the fountain
head, lest they flow forth and defile the chaste pages we fain would preserve unsullied, spotless.
And may we hope that when the great volume of our lives is completed, and "The End"
finishes the last chapter; when we stand before the tribunal of high Heaven to review its written
pages, we may find that the tears of penitence have washed out many a blot, the blood of a
Crucified Redeemer cleansed it from all stain.

[Clipping] Death of W F Hale [In pencil: Jan 31, 06] End Came Today Following a Few Days'
Illness from Pneumonia. From Wednesday's Citizen. Wellington F Hale, a well known resident of
John Street, died at his home this morning at 2 o'clock of pneumonia after a brief illness. Mr Hale
attended the funeral of his cousin last Friday and complained then of not feeling well. He was
born in Tolland, Mass., in March, 1844, and resided in that town all his life until his removal to
Winsted five years ago last fall. For some time past Mr Hale had been sexton of the Second
Congregational Church and janitor of the Hurlburt National bank, which positions he filled very
satisfactorily.
He was always industrious, working quietly but faithfully and winning the respect and esteem of all
his acquaintances. Before his removal to Winsted he was a member of the Congregational church
at Tolland. The bereaved family has the tender sympathy of their many friends. Mr Hale was
twice married. His first wife, Georgia Marshall, died 22 years ago and he next married his wife's
niece, Harriet Marshall, on March 12, 1886, who survives him with three children, Frances E Hale,
daughter by his first wife; Charles W of Waterbury and Merton who lives at home here. A brother
George Hale, was a member of Co. F, 27 th Mass. Vol. infantry and was shot while in the service at
Roanoke island. The funeral will be held at the Second Congregational chapel Saturday at 2 PM,
Rev N M Calhoun officiating. Burial will be at the South cemetery.

[Also a handwritten verse in very fine Hand] Cyrus - "I Live for those who love me" 1 I Live for
those who love me Whose hearts are fond and true For the heaven that smiles above me And
waits my spirit too For every tie that binds me For every task assigned me For bright hopes left
nd
behind me And the good that I may do. 2 I live to hold communion With all that is divine To
feel that there's a union Twixt Nature's God and mine To profit by affliction Reap truth's [sic]
from every fiction And wiser from conviction Help on the grand design. 3 rd I Live to hail the
season By gifted minds foretold When man shall live by reason And not alone by gold When
man to man united And every wrong thing righted The whole world shall be lighted As eden [sic]
was of old. For Cyrus - with compliments of your friend Fannie [Bidwell Parsons] {PS Remember
the visit of Aug. 1867} F. [From "What I Live For" by George Linnaeus Banks]
