n. He was connected with the heroes of the American Revolution through his great-grandfather, Capt. Job Cushing of Cohasset, who raised a company and marched from Hingham, and was with Washington at Valley Forge during the trying winter of 1777. After serving the usual apprenticeship Mr. Cushing worked in the Navy Yard at Charlestown and in several of the yards on our famous old Ship street, from whence the Medford clipper ships, for Californian trade. were in such great demand. Mr. Cushing was twice married, and by the first union had three sons, two of whom survive him, Hiram C. Cushing of Pasadena, Cal., and Walter F. Cushing, of Medford. If, at times, he was abrupt and outspoken and severely critical, still he was a good citizen and had qualities to offset this peculiarity. In his latter years, and especially during his long illness, he became softened in spirit and entirely reconciled to the teachings of Scripture, whose terms he gladly accepted. Elisha B. Curtis.

The old ship-building days. [Excerpts from a talk given before the Medford Historical Society by Elisha B. Curtis, December 18, 1911, on Scenes Along the Mystic in the Early Fifties.] IN 1850 the population of Medford exceeded that of Maiden. Maiden then included both Melrose and Everett, known as North and South Maiden, respectively. Medford's population was then also larger than Somerville's, which now outnumbers us three or four to one. At that time Medford was in her palmiest days, having a great prestige through her ship-building industry following the discovery of gold, in 1849, on the Pacific coast. A few years later, however, it became evident that wooden vessels were passing, and this fact, together with other circumstances (such as the withholding of lands from the market, and our location on a spur track instead of a main line) will account for being outstripped in growth by these neighboring communities.
