Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 23., Medford Saltmarsh Corporation. (search)
Medford Saltmarsh Corporation.
Such was the name of a certain business concern in old Medford, long since forgotten.
In response to one of several queries in notice of April meeting, some papers from the Society's archives were exhibited, and remarks made by various members that made the hour one of much interest.
The historian of Medford (in 1855) said
The strong tendency among us for consociated action makes it easy to form societies for special objects.
Medford has its full share.
He, however, devoted less than a page to but two—the Sons of Temperance and the Masonic Lodge—and finished his section with a half page relative to the above Saltmarsh Corporation, which was purely a business affair, and not a fraternal or social improvement.
Probably his brief mention of this enterprise is the only one extant in public print, and for such reason the register now adds a little to details of Medford affairs in days long gone.
