Womboldt Cousin Lena's letter arrived today [Spring 1967]. It's an invitation to go with her to the Springfield Flower Show. When I enrolled in Westfield State College in 1963 [First CoEducational Normal School in the USA] Dad told me that we had a relative in Western Massachusetts. Little did I realize the impact this woman would have on my life. Lena is responsible for the interest I've developed in our family history and provided the basis of my knowledge of antiques. She also urged me to write down family stories. On the appointed day an elegantly groomed lady drove up in her late model luxury car and introduced me to a refined and cultured style of life. We spent the whole morning touring the exhibits on display at the Flower Show and then went to a fine Springfield hotel for lunch. Before returning me to my dormitory, Scanlon Hall, we visited her home. Lena and Joe's New England farm house sat back from Route 57 at the top of a hill in West Granville, MA. Built in the 1800's it had old time comfort and charm. Only the plumbing, heating, electric systems and kitchen had been updated. Lena and her husband, Joseph [Joe] Duris loved antiques. The house, all its furnishings and attached outbuildings were authentic. Only the large barn like garage was of recent construction. After "freshening up" Lena served tea in her front parlor [ the drawing room] on a drum table. She invited me to sit...but where.. The dainty Queen Ann chairs looked too fragile to be used; the brocade covered wingback chairs too beautiful, and the Empire style sofa across the room too far away. The chair that went with the fantastic desk with the glass enclosed shelves over it was out of the question. It had once belonged to a ship's captain. Lena assured me that the chairs were quite sturdy and would easily support a large man. She believed that antiques should be used and lived with not just set out to be admired and collect dust. That night I slept in the guest room; in a four poster pineapple bed with a canopied testor and curtains, entered with the use of "bed stairs". On subsequent visits I had the use of one of the upstairs bedrooms. The entire upstairs was furnished with vintage Hitchcock from Riverton [formerly Hitchcockville]. During my years at Westfield State I often bicycled out to visit with Lena and Joe. Afterward Joe would frequently put my bike in the back of his pick up truck and drive me back to my dormitory. Lena had moved to Western Massachusetts [which borders northern Conn.] when she got a job teaching school in Torrington, Conn. As a graduate of Framingham State Normal School [a two year course at that time] she was equipped with a teaching certificate which certified her competent to instruct pupils from kindergarten to eighth grade. It was while teaching in Torrington that she met Joseph Duris, a local farmer. They married and had many happy years together despite the disappointment of not having children. Joe loved to show Lena the hill town and back roads of western �Massachusetts and the nearby areas of the bordering states of Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. On weekends they would go for day trips stopping to explore antique shops, barn sales and house auctions. When Lena retired from the Conn. school system she became more involved with the Granville Historical Society. She wrote many articles for their publication and for others. She and Joe traveled the country especially making trips to Granville Ohio. [Sister to Granville MA and settled by residents of Granville MA] She kept up several correspondences and was especially interested in the Womboldt family history. She and her sister Claudia even made a trip to Halifax and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. In 1971, I purchased my first car and made my very first long trip, out to visit Lena and Joe. It was during the early spring and in Western MA snow was still carpeting the ground. From my time in Westfield, I remembered that good quality, fresh fruit, other than apples, was hard to come by west of Springfield. As a hostess gift I brought Lena a large fruit basket from Bacon Farms[Tillie's] in Natick. While there Bob and Fran Chickarilli, Tillie's sons, were unloading a truck of 50 lbs. sacks of bird seed and thistle seed. I had them carry a sack of each to my car to take with me. I was sure I'd seen bird feeders at Lena's. I have always traveled light. Lena could not believe that I was spending nearly a week and had everything packed in one small suit case. She sent Joe out to my car to "bring in the rest of her bags". Imagine our surprise to hear Joe's whoops of excitement. He had gone to the trunk of the car as directed and discovered the huge bags of feed. To top it off the following day was his birthday. What timing. I hadn't been aware of how much Joe loved birds. Both he and Lena enjoyed watching them. Feeders were set up just outside the morning room window and the back porch. Another feeder in the back yard. During warmer weather they spent many happy hours talking and viewing the birds from chairs set in the shade of the farmers porch outside the kitchen windows and I was privileged to join them. Joe had been a farmer most of his life except for a stint in the military during WWI when he served in Europe. Lena grew up in Newton, MA. She always said that her father was my grandfather. During my years at college and for some time thereafter I visited and we both wrote often. Then somehow we both got involved in other things and had little contact during the mid 1980's. I was in law school when I learned Lena was hospitalized with a cancerous growth which destroyed her hip joint and led to her admission to a nursing home in Westfield. Lena died in 1992. She was a very special lady and I regret that we lived so far apart that we could not visit more often. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Narr at or .................... ........ MRs. RICHARD DICKINSON Trumpet Call THIS IS OUR TOWN This is our town It is a beautiful town, A quiet town Of templed hills and deep valleys. This is a town Remote from the city's noise and din; A town of rugged windswept hills And winding roads And racing brooks. A town of fragrant pines And spreading hemlocks, Of slopes with laurel clusters, And streets of shade from Overhanging maples. Fair and serene Our humble homes do lie. This is our town With its ever-changing scenes Of nature's loveliness: With white and silver winter, Budding, feathery, lacey spring; Cool, restful green of summer, And autumn's flaming glory. Tranquility, order, and integrity Are here; So like the rugged pioneers of old. We lay no claim to glory or to fame. No historic shrines have we; No great industrial marts. But once so long ago When our nation was at dawning Our town stood up among the leaders then, And gave its all for Liberty. Like other hill-top towns of New England We, too, have smaller grown, But ever have we given of strength To every cause of human right. With a firm faith in God And with faith in man, we humbly live. We have a just pride In our noble heritage. Yes, we are one of the hundreds of towns Of plain, ordinary people That has helped to make America What it is today. �EPISODE 1-1686 THE TOWN SITES ARE PURCHASED Scene: Poquonnoc, Windsor, Conn.

Leader - Mrs. Harold Chapman On June 26, 1713, James Cornish, Jr., and Damaris Tuller of Simsbury sold the land for 30 pounds to Atherton Mather of Suffield. Shortly after began the sale of lands to 44 speculators of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Mather sold all he owned of "Bedford Plantations" and more too, realizing huge profits and causing endless trouble for the Proprietors. To persuade people to settle here the Proprietors gave away one-fifth of their land. Free land! Land with a capital "L". What an inducement to fearless men!

Dennis Clifford Anthony Stoddard .................... ............ Wallace Chapman John Wendell .................................................... Roy Barnes WELLES: Some of our group have been lax. They have not given away one-fifth of their land to encourage settlers. I move we petition the Legislature for the right to dispose of the lands of the delinquent proprietors for settling lots . . . We were to have 70 families here by January, 1741. Here it is 7 years later and we still need more. Will you give us the figures, Dr. Noyes? SAMUEL DR. NovEs: We owned 42,532 acres. We have given away thousands of acres to encourage settlement. We have given 2,370 acres for public use. We have surveyed the Plantations. We have given 100 acres to Rev. Iv!oses Tuttle, the minister. We have builded a church. We have given salary for 3 years to the minister. We have gone to no end of trouble getting settlers for the wilderness. Today we must settle about the highways. And yet have we failed! Something must be done or we lose money on our venture. By 1750, 73 families had braved the wilderness frontier - lured by free land and cheap land. Here were the very taproots of democracy; the settlers owning the land upon which they worked. Stouthearted folks they were, working out their problems in a truly democratic way, standing shoulder to shoulder, secure in the knowledge that the welfare of each was the welfare of all. With Phineas Pratt a strong leader of the movement, the "freeholders and other inhabitants" became a district on January 25, 1754 with a new name, GRANVILLE. Twenty years later, 1774, we find a thriving farming community of 1100 people - having grist mills, saw-mills, tanneries, and a fulling mill; each family, an economic unit in itself. Difficulties with the Mother Country had increased. The Stamp Act, Tea Tax, Quartering Act had embroiled the colonies into a state of bitter rebellion. And what was Granville's role? A most significant one! �EPISODE IV - July 5, 1774 RAISING THE LIBERTY POLE ON LIBERTY HILL Scene: Middle Granville Lebbeus Ball ....................................

"No town meeting!" ordered Royal Governor Gage. "Town meetings we shall have!" defiantly maintained the citizens of Granville. On July 11, 1774, they appointed a committee of seven to inspect the debate between the Mother Country and the colonies. And what a fine document of protest against England those men drew up! ~ EPISODE V - April 20, 1775 THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR BEGINS Scene: Near Training Grounds Samuel Church ......... ........... ........ ............

MINUET - MAYPOLE DANCE SONG: Liberty Bell Leaders of Revolutionary Scenes Mrs. George W codger Mrs. Richard Nadeau The war waged bitterly on. Granville gave its fullest support of powder, lead, guns, blankets, clothing, beef, com, money, and men over 300 men - all for the cause of Liberty! The bitter struggle was over and a democracy born at a great cost. The absence of so many men in the Continental armies had wrought its mark upon the farms and homes which they left. By 1800 Granville's population had grown to 2309. The rocky hills could not provide good living conditions for so many - not when they heard of the fertile fields of Ohio. In early 1804, Samuel Everitt, Jr. , started an idea for the formation of a company for westward migration. He suggested it to Levi Buttles and Timothy Rose. Ultimately, a company of 79, named the Licking Land Company was organized. Buttles, Rose, and Job Case went to Ohio and purchased 29,040 acres. Advance guards left Granville in March, June, and July of 1805 to improve land, raise corn, build temporary huts, erect saw and grist mills. Everything was ready by fall when the trek of 102 pioneers began. �EPISODE VII - 1805 THE LURE OF THE WEST - OHIO CALLS Rev. Timothy M. Cooley ................
