Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 23., The mills on the Medford turnpike. (search)
greement, we may not say with certainty. The Fire Department report says: Jan. 21, 1872. Mill building on Mystic Ave., supposed to be by incendiary. The building was a total loss. This account is written at some length, because neither Mr. Brooks nor Mr. Usher made any mention of this mill in their History of Medford. Mr. Hooper, in the scant space allotted him, made brief note of it, but the register, in Vol. XIV, p. 68, fixed the identity of the miller's dwelling, (Gershom Cutter's) a view of which had been shown as the toll-house several times, unchallenged. This house is said to have been burnt, but as yet we find no record of the fire. It is probable that the view we present was secured about 1890, by Mr. Will C. Eddy. With its burning disappeared the last vestige of a Medford business covering a period of fifty years; unless, indeed, something of the dike may be traced. If so, even that may be obliterated if the projected improvements upon the Mystic materialize.
