Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 22., Medford a century ago—1819. (search)
ere the country road from Boston divided north to Woburn and east to Malden and Salem, and were the principal public roads (not given names as yet), though two turnpike roads had been opened fourteen years before and a canal a few years earlier. Does anyone wish to know what the old town looked like in 1819?

Squire Abner Bartlett had been for some time town clerk. His penmanship was stiff and bristling, and unlike the proverbial character of lawyers' writing, is legible. The paper is rough and strong and the ink unfading. The book itself has been in recent years re-bound.
