Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 23., Medford myth of Menotomy. (search)
e names of the attending parties, none of whom were of Arlington, much less in Menotomy hall on that occasion. This occurred in a dwelling, now 83 Sharon street, West Medford, on the evening of April 1, 1872. See register, Vol. XIV, p. 25. Of those present on that occasion, but two are today living, and their testimony accords with the above preceding lines. The mythical mistake (and we have no thought of its being intentional) could not, nor cannot be verified by record. The otherwise (so far as we know) excellent history, entitled, Arlington, Past and Present, published 1907, donated to the Medford Library by Mrs. Carolin Lawrence in 1912, had not been taken out till within a year (as appears from the slip inserted), when it came to our notice. Possibly none other has since then. If so, the register is giving the Menotomy mythical mistake more publicity, but along with it this refutation. Hic fabula docet, that if we are to be historical, let us tell the truth.
