Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 14., Notes by a Medford Vacationist of long ago. (search)
o some one who had visited Medford, which then had about three thousand five hundred people, contributed an article on New England Villages, &c., to the Massachusetts Ploughman. He wrote over the signature of D. E. N., perhaps from Springfield, and on. Medford (for a village) was then making a marked growth, and the writer, after mentioning the general features of New England villages, touches upon the march of improvement, and alludes to some of the public men of our old town. A few extracts follow:— New England villages vary, of course, in attraction and interest, but it would be difficult to find one devoid of both. If any Convention is needed here, it would be to relax the ardor of industry, not to quicken it. What theyot entirely free from his severity.

One of the New Hampshire officers who in later years related incidents of General Stark threw some light on the alleged steal, that was somewhat discreditable to the paymaster who came from Exeter. He styled him a man of plausible address but a mischief maker and with feelings of hostility to General Stark. Upon his arrival in Medford he secured quarters in the home of the leading business man, Benjamin Hall, whither the troops marched from their camp on Winter Hill to receive their pay. This he refused them, alleging that the payrolls were not properly drawn. With much dissatisfaction the
