Reminiscences of an earlier Medford. A familiar talk before the Medford Historical Society. James A. Hervey. IT is with much hesitation, not to say reluctance, that I consented to appear before you to-night. Most of the topics of primary interest connected with the history and evolution of Medford have been fully and ably treated by other members of the Association in the papers they have read before it, and I have been much at loss for a subject. But the chairman of your committee urged that a gap was to be filled, and has wedged me into it. To meet his wishes in a very informal manner I bring together some of my earliest recollections of Medford and its people, going back to the year 1836, when my parents took up their residence in this town. Some of these reminiscences have already appeared in print, but they are essential to my purpose, and will probably be new to most of you.

Miss Hetty Fulton Wait, on June 1, 1902, completed her fiftieth year as a teacher in the Medford Public Schools. On June 3, the Teachers' Association tendered her a complimentary reception, which was largely attended by former pupils and friends. James A. Hervey, Esq., in behalf of the assembly, presented Miss Wait with fifty American beauty roses, having in the centre fifty dollars in gold. No other teacher has such a record, or has had it, except Marm Betty Francis, who taught a dame school for sixty years. It is with pride that the society recognizes the distinguished honor bestowed upon its esteemed first president, Hon. William Cushing Wait, on his appointment to the bench of the superior Court.

If Mr. Hervey had been asked what should be said of him, there is no doubt that these dates of his history would be all he would have approved.
