Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 13., The Royall house people of a century ago. (search)
h returned to Boston, resuming his residence in Franklin street. After a time (date not given) he went to the McLean Asylum at Charlestown (Somerville), and while there fell from a bench and broke his hip bone. (Mrs. Stone said he was no more insane than many others, but was always odd.) He was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital, where he died, September 20, 1832, aged 73 years.

Wildes', Elm street, every day except Sunday. In 1845 Medford had four omnibus trips each day, and in 1846, six, according to The Boston Almanac. It would be pleasant to know who were the passengers by the stage-coach in the early days of the Medford line. Probably Timothy Bigelow, who moved to Medford about this time, and later his son, John Prescott Bigelow, for they were lawyers, and must have used this means to reach their office, 7 Barristers' Hall, Court Square, Boston. Perhaps, too, some members of the Brooks, Magoun or Porter families, when they did not choose to use their own carriag
