Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 3., The Evolution of the Medford public Library. (search)
me in a room in some house, the occupant of the house acting, perhaps, as librarian; for I find as one of the first items (1826-1837), cash paid Mrs. Hepzibah Hall five dollars per year for rent of room. The first name which appears as librarian is that of Ebenezer Hall, 1827. A catalogue must have been published very soon, for in 1827 is to be found the following entry: Paid Bowles Dearborn for catalogues, nine dollars. A copy of this catalogue I have been unable to find, but from Mrs. Susan M. Fitch we have received a copy of one containing the constitution, bearing no date of imprint, however, but presumably printed in 1837, as at that time a new constitution was framed, when the shares were made one dollar, and Article 3 of this constitution reads as follows: The price of a share shall be one dollar, each share shall be subject to an annual tax of fifty cents, commencing at the annual meeting, January, 1838. Their privileges, in one respect, were at that time the same as in t

ave the affectionate regard of those who, as little children, knew them in their full vigor. It has interested some of us who have been looking up residents of Medford in years past to search for elderly people, natives of this city. As we have examined the records, tender thoughts have filled our minds as we read the names of those whose faces were familiar to us, and found it hard to realize that they have passed on. Mr. and Mrs. Dudley C. Hall, Mrs. Thomas S. Harlow and her sister, Mrs. Fitch, Miss Helen Porter, Miss Almira Stetson, Mrs. Matilda T. Haskins, Mrs. George F. Lane, Messrs. Elijah B. Smith, Cleopas Johnson, David Osgood Kidder and eighteen others, resident in Medford, have died within the last seven years, all of them born here more than three quarters of a century ago. We recognized the names of Mr. John K. Fuller of Dorchester, Mrs. Caroline R. (Brooks) Hayes of Woburn, Mrs. Hepsa (Hall) Bradlee of Boston, Mr. Oliver Wellington of Winchester, Mr. Andrew D. Blan
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 8., Captain Isaac Hall. (search)
examined was Captain Isaac Hall, who declared: That the winter before said battle (Lexington) he went to settle accounts with said Royal at his house; and that said Royal showed him his arms and accoutrements (which were in very good order), and told him that he determined to stand for his country, etc. Isaac Hall died November 24, 1789. A sword, said to be the one he carried at Lexington and Bunker Hill, is in the possession of Jas. L. Hall of Kingston, Mass. It was left him by Mrs. Susan M. Fitch, who received it from her grandfather, Ebenr Hall, a brother of Isaac. The tablet is not intended to perpetuate any remarkable military achievements of valor of Captain Isaac Hall, though he performed his part in those heroic contests which gave confidence to the colonists in their resistance to oppression. It is more that Medford desires to honor all the men who helped her to take so important share in the early battles of the war which gave birth to the nation, and which has mea
