Union Square
and its neighborhood about the year 1846. (search)
Union Square and its neighborhood about the year 1846. By Charles D. Elliot. I first knew Union square in 1846, at which time it was called Sand Pit square, a name said to have been given it, facetiously or otherwise, by some of the gentlefolk of Winter Hill. the name, though not euphonious, was appropriate, as its western side bordered sand lands that for years supplied the neighboring brick yards, as well as cities, with the best of silica. In shape it was not a square, for it was wide at its easterly and westerly ends, and narrow at its centre, so that, considering that for years sand was passing through it, it might with propriety have been christened the Hour Glass. Later on a flagstaff was erected in it, and from that time till the Civil War it was known as Liberty Pole square. When the war began it became a recruiting centre and took its present name of Union square. In confining my recollections to about the year 1846, I am obliged to leave out many prominent peop

Union Square
before the War.—(Il) (search)
Union Square before the War.—(Il) By Charles D. Elliot. In the paper which I read last year upon Union Square, I made mention, as well as I could remember, of the people living there and in the regions adjacent about the year 1846, of their descendants, and of the locations of their residences and estates. I referred by name to more than 175 of our citizens or their children who lived at or near the Square, and whose Mecca it was; from their homes all roads led to Union Square, as in ancient Limes they did to Rome. That I did not attempt to write the virtues of these early Somerville people by no means indicates that they were undeserving in fact, they were a model community, as a whole, honest, industrious, unostentatious, and neighborly. Unpleasant episodes occasionally varied the even tenor of their days, but I now recall but little that occurred to mar the pleasant memories of those people and times. And now I wish to speak of the topography, or lay of the land, as old

story should be shortly produced. He then read a paper on The First Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. See page 18. Mr. Hawes then called upon Charles D. Elliot to act as toastmaster.

The first toast proposed by him was: Somerville, like Rome, sits on her seven hills, each crowned with an historic halo. See page 80. This was responded to by Mayor Charles A. Grimmons, who was wounder of the Bay State League, was called upon as the bard of Wakefield to speak for the League, and opened his remarks by reading a rhyme merrily dedicated to Mr. Elliot. Chief James R. Hopkins was asked to speak for The Blessing of the Bay, the First Ship of Our Navy, and much interest was created in his remarks as he produc

voluntary organization, and so it was voted in regular meeting assembled that the necessary steps be taken to incorporate this body under the laws of Massachusetts; the papers were prepared and signed, and sent to the Secretary of State, and so on the third day of November, 1898, which was one year later, certain subscribers met for the purpose of reorganizing under the state charter which had been granted, and then and there adopted by-laws and elected officers for the ensuing year. Charles D. Elliot was elected president; since then we have had John F. Aver for four years and the present incumbent, Frank M. Hawes, for two years. Step by step this little plant grew, fostered by material which very few communities are blessed with, but the leading spirit did not live long to, see the results. John S. Hayes, our first chairman and founder, died March 7, 1898, during the first year of its existence. The first literary treat given under the auspices of the Society was by Dr. Joh
