anal Tavern, which with three dwellings on Canal street and the seminary building, made up the eighteen houses I have named. A few days later (May 26), as the result of an interview with all the proprietors, the Smith estate came under my superintendence, and soon after, taking up my abode in one of their houses, I became a resident and citizen of Medford. In the seminary building, in what was once known as Everett Hall, Ellis Pitcher kept a grocery; selling out that spring to Sawyer & Parmenter, and they, soon after, to J. E. Ober, who then had a milk route there. No other store of any kind was kept in the West End, but a Mr. Reed, who resided on Allston street (in the house recently burned), sold dry goods from a wagon and supplied such as came to his house for them. The postoffice (established in 1852) was, in ‘69, kept by Mr. Pitcher, who was in June of ‘70 succeeded by Mr. Willey; and for ten years the railroad station housed it. Six houses on Woburn street and six more o

ivil War, was made a colonel under Cromwell and was killed in Ireland in 1652. Administration of his estate in this country was granted to Henry Dunster, first president of Harvard, and Colonel Cooke's older brother Joseph in 1653. Some three hundred feet or so above the present dam just where a street [Water street] comes down to the west side of the pond [mill pond] are projections reaching out from each side of the pond towards a small island in the center [part of the old dam] and Judge Parmenter pointed this out as the remains of the original dam to Colonel Cooke's mill. The reservation extended back from the pond about five-eighths of a mile well up to the crest of the hill (or further) at the north end and narrowed down to the west side of the road at the south end some twenty rods north of the bridge [over Sucker brook]. In 1658 by indenture dated December 3 but signed December 9 Thomas Gleason leased of Capt. Samuel Scarlett acting for his wife the messuage etc. lying

was later the Hall school, taught by Miss Ellen Lane. Joseph E. Ober, Ellis Pitcher and Moses W. Mann bought at the first auction sale lots on Winthrop and Monument streets. Mr. Pitcher was then keeping a little grocery under Mystic Hall and was postmaster. Frank Lincoln was his helper. Mr. Pitcher never built, and only last year sold his land, from which a lot of concrete blocks have been made and on which is just now being erected a dwelling. He very soon sold the store to Sawyer & Parmenter, who in December sold it to J. E. Ober, who in 1871 built his present residence and Mr. Mann his, the latter person being the first resident on that street. In 1870 Simeon S. Leavitt had built, by J. H. Norton, the large mansard roof house (second from St. Raphael's Church), and in ‘71 Charles M. Barrett (then living on Warren street) had erected his house and stable on the adjoining lot. Deacon James Pierce of Medford was the builder, and it was doubtless the best constructed of any h

ion of the new dwelling of James Madison Usher, who was born in the old Whitmore-Usher home in 1814. This new house with its stable was shaded by many trees, enlarged in 1871, and was enclosed by a massive front fence. In May, 1870, only one little one-story building stood on the angular lot opposite it. At that time Ellis Pitcher had a grocery in the Mystic Hall building and was postmaster. Up beside the freight track R. K. Carpenter did granite cutting. Pitcher sold out to Sawyer & Parmenter in June, and they to J. E. Ober in December, 1870. This was the extent of business operations then. In the winter of 1870-71 Mr. Usher had the roof of that one-story building (in which the post office had once been) raised up and another story built in, with stairs, outside, to it. In the spring of 1871 Charles W. Macy opened in it a little store, notions, newspapers, etc. Mr. Usher had built a small two-story house at his sand pit up Warren street and into it Edward Shaw moved and
