He was six years old when the battle of Lexington occurred, and he had a distinct remembrance of the event.

This house was on the corner of Grove street. An eighth of a mile further east lived Miss Rebecca Brooks—Aunt Becky. Robert Caldwell lived in her house and carried on the farm. This house wasmes Wyman. Benjamin Noyes, gunsmith, lived there for a few years, and the premises were next leased for ten years to Elijah Smith.

23d., 1801 aged 32 years. Secure from all the cares of life, Sweetly she sleeps in silent death, In pleasing hope again to rise And dwell with Christ above the skies. Like many another of God's ancient acres, this burial place of our city seems to have undergone some change, if it has not suffered sacrilege from indifferent hands, for this stone may be seen on the west side on the portion allotted to the tombs, face to the wall. It stands just between the tomb of Nathan Wait and Elijah Smith, and that of Geo. B. Lapham. As Charles Bradbury did not remain in Medford, it is sufficient to say that he married Hannah Oakes, then Mary Oakes, and had, by his three wives, thirteen children. On the records of the First Church, Charlestown, will be found items of marriage, reception to church communion, baptisms, etc., that pertain to his family. Charles Bradbury died January 4, 1856. His youngest child, Mrs. Sarah J. Conant, widow of William F. Conant of Charlestown, is living

Brooks at his fine country estate in West Medford, to which he graciously invited his neighbors. Mrs. Elijah Smith, the site of whose home was where Boston avenue meets High street on the south side, attended the reception, taking a little daughter of five months. The grown — up people present, telling the story of that pleasant afternoon in later y that strawberries were served, and undoubtedly they were fine if grown on the host's ground, as they probably were; while the baby girl when she grew up had the pretty story to tell that President Monroe took her in his arms and kissed her. Mrs. Smith was the grandmother of Mr. Wait and the Misses Wait, members of our historical society. If the after life of some who had a brief residence with us has been a recital of interest we may pardonably have a stronger feeling, one of pride even,

The milkcarts of 1829, were later known as milkwagons, and those built at the upper end of the turnpike had an enviable reputation for durability. Their makers have kept abreast of the times, and their products, both horse drawn and motor driven, are in marked contrast to those that passed the old toll gate in 1829.

He also stated that nearly opposite, Miss Brooks' brother on Amos Warren. Warren street was cut through his farm and named in his honor. We have been thus explicit in quoting Mr. Smith's words, as they are good history. He began his account with Wear bridge, which in his boyhood was at the Charlestown line the Medford selectmen named as the end of High street. Mr. Smith mentioned no other house across High street till that of Major Gershom Teel, later that of Captain Joseph Wyatt. This was at the corner of Canal lane.
