Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 22., After twenty-five years. (search)
After twenty-five years. The gathering on Jan. 4 (1918) of fourteen members of Medford's first city government, with the auditor and collector who have served continuously, was surely a pleasant and notable occasion. That so many have survived the stress of the years and enjoyed the reunion, is worthy of notice in Medford annals. They were Aldermen William Cushing Wait, Walter F. Cushing, Lewis H. Lovering and J. R. Teel, with Richard Gibson, E. C. Ellis, George T. Sampson, Herman L. Buss, William H. Casey, Allston H. Evans, N. E. Wilber, E. F. Kakas, Charles H. Loomis and E. I. Langell, of the council. As their former clerk Langell called the roll, fitting notice was taken of Those who answer not, however we may call. Auditor Cummings and Collector Hayes were guests of the evening. After the dinner came the smoke talk with everybody in it and a final word by chairman Loomis to close the First Session. Judge Wait presided over the Second Session opening court (?) with words

An appeciation. In the organization of the Society for 1918 the reader will miss the name of Eliza M. Gill, who has faithfully served for several years as Secretary. Because of impaired health, she is obliged to give up her willing service, but not her interest. One of the original corporators, she has ever been in labors abundant, both as an officer and interested active member, keeping in touch with historic interests elsewhere, as well as in Medford. The papers she has read before the Society show careful study of her subjects, and are supplemented by other articles in the Register, and not a little of material has been furnished by her to aid other writers. To the Register she has ever been devoted, and its editor acknowledges her many favors and assistance. We are hoping for her rest and recovery ere long.
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 22., Organization for 1918. (search)
Organization for 1918. The organization of the Historical Society for the current year is herewith presented. A copy is sent to each member with the notice of the March meeting, and will serve as notice of appointment of committees as a whole and individually, by the Board of Directors. The first named is expected to see that each committee promptly begins its work for the Society interests. The Society is now housed in permanent quarters, conveniently located, and after the inconveniences of recent years should take up with interest its important work. Will each member of these committees readily report to its chairman, and each committee have a friendly rivalry with each other, and so boom our Society this year. Some surprise has been expressed that the Society should assemble for its meeting on the heatless Monday evenings called for by the fuel administrator. Our reply is, that as an educational institution, and patriotic withal, we bestconserve our resources-fuel
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 22., A Medford garden and the gardener's notes. (search)
A Medford garden and the gardener's notes. by Eliza M. Gill. NOT a war garden of 1918, but one in peace times ninety years ago and more. This garden was on the estate, on the banks of the Mystic, owned by Timothy Bigelow. Martin Burridge was the gardener, in the employ of the Bigelow family many years. The writer has at hand two note-books measuring three and three-quarters inches by six and one-quarter inches, with limp covers of marbled paper, one marked Garden Book, 1827, kept by this old-time gardener. With these in lieu of Open Sesame, the gate will swing back and give the readers of the Register a glimpse of this old garden, let them see the fruits that were grown, the crops harvested. These books were neatly kept; the writing is plain, sometimes done with ink, again with pencil. They show Mr. Burridge as being careful, systematic, thorough, and interested in his work. The entries of the garden book extend successively through the years to 1838, being necessarily

y and assistant, the purpose of the executive committee being to make the office a clearing house for the varied war activities. Mr. James A. Cotting was elected secretary, and Miss Alice Bearse assistant. In the absence of actual hostile emergencies, which as yet have not been thrust upon us, the Committee on Public Safety has taken up the more immediate local needs of the community: food, fuel, public health, liberty loans, information regarding Medford soldiers, etc. The winter of 1917-18 will long be remembered as one of intense severity. Coupled with the cold weather was a scarcity of coal, and the local fuel committee was obliged to issue coal cards for one hundred pounds each, in order to secure an equitable distribution. Towards twenty thousand of these cards were issued. During the past summer the State assumed control of sugar. For preserving purposes, cards for twenty-five pounds or less were given on application at the public safety office. More than five thousan

the Porter house has been put. Then after a vacuum (or vacancy rather) for about a year with adverse conditons—war or otherwise—below, the Medford Publishing Company has taken the old house and in its first issue of the Mercury, there printed, gave an account of its history. Its existence covers the period of constitutional government of our country. All our presidential campaigns, our wars and our politics have there been discussed. Past its old walls the Medford men of 1861, of 1898 and 1918 have marched away, the latter to help do away with the royal motto that so recently was Meinself und Gott. It was fitting that from out these old walls the following issue of the Mercury should send out the story of how Medford received the news of their success and of the retirement of the senior partner on November 11th, and how it celebrated Victory Day. Excepting the removal of the front door and the introduction of plate glass, the general appearance of the old Porter house has chang
