easury7,909.23 Town debt--185534,100.00 Medford a town. Mr. Frothingham, in his excellent History of Charlestown, 1846 (p. 92), says:--Medford was not a town: it was rather a manor, owned by one of the leading inhabitants of Charlestown. anor, any more than Roxbury or Watertown. The early owners in these towns were few. Medford was never called a manor till 1846. In all the old histories it is called a town, in precisely the same way as Boston and Dorchester. If it was not a town to follow, in this matter, all printed authorities, and the decision of the Legisature, and leave the novel supposition of 1846 to stand alone. Medford was called a peculiar town, but its peculiarity did not consist in being stripped of its politi9. Abner Bartlett1820. William Rogers1826. Abner Bartlett1827. William D. Fitch1834.

having been adopted, the first parade was on the 22d of August, and seldom has any company appeared better. Aug. 21, 1843: The ladies of Medford presented the Phalanx with a beautiful standard. The ceremony took place before the meeting-house of the first parish, and was worthy the occasion. Captain Blanchard having been promoted to the office of Lieutenant-Colonel, he resigned his office as commander of the Phalanx; and, Nov. 13, 1844, James W. Brooks was chosen as his successor. In 1846, Captain Brooks was honorably discharged; and, April 10, Charles Caldwell was elected Captain. After serving acceptably, he resigned; and, May 9, 1849, Gilman Griffin was elected in his place. The last meeting held by the company was Dec. 18, 1849, when it was concluded to discontinue the organization, resign the charter, and return the standard to the ladies who gave it.

Frost was appointed to labor here; and was succeeded, in 1846, by Rev. J. Augustus Adams, a thorough scholar and an earnest Christian, who bent all his energies to the great work of guiding souls heavenward. The year following, Rev. J.

He reluctantly yielded to a necessity, and left Medford early in 1846, greatly to the grief of the church. A society was formed to act in concert with the church; and was incorporated, under the general act of incorporation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 29, 1842, on application of Moses Parsons, Lewis

Baker preached a sermon on ship-building, in 1846, to which is appended a register of vessels built in Medford. He says, I have enrolled them so as to present the year of their construction, their description and name, the yard in which they were built, the name of their respective builders and ce of the latter, the tonnage of each vessel, the amount of tonnage, and the value of the vessels built here, estimating the hull, spars, and blocks of each at forty-five dollars per ton. The register has been brought down, for this history, from 1846 to 1855. From this register, it appears that five hundred and thirteen vessels have been built in Medford between the beginning of the present century and the year 1855, with an aggregate of two hundred and thirty-two thousand two hundred and s

The next movement for another burying-ground was March 6, 1837, when the town passed the following: Voted that the article relative to purchasing land for a burial-ground, in the easterly part of the town, be indefinitely postponed. For many years, the eastern wall of the old burying-ground was broken and insufficient. The writer of this directed the attention of the Hon. Peter C. Brooks to the subject in 1846: the consequence was an offer of five hundred dollars from that gentleman to the town, for the purpose of building a granite wall, reaching from the Baptist meeting-house through the whole eastern front of the ground. The town accepted the offer, and voted thanks, Nov. 8, 1847. There was a strip of land, twenty feet or more, added here to the old limits; and the new granite wall encloses it. This strip was laid out in lots, and sold at auction Aug. 3, 1848. Mr. Brooks had a lot reserved for
