May 14, 1765, Walter Russell and Isaac Mallet were elected to the board, the former for the Alewife Brook school, the latter for the one at Gardner Row. Mr. Mallet served three years, and was succeeded, May, 1768, by John Lamson, who continued in office for five years. In 1773 Mr. Fosdick was serving in his place, but that year it was decided to do away with a local committee, and it was voted that the selectmen manage the school without the Neck, and pamuel Kent, Henry Putnam, Captain John Hancock (same amounts).

district, others of his name renewed a family interest in the school by accepting positions on the school board.
As early as 1738 (Vol.
III., p. 16), Henry Gardner was a member of the local committee outside the Neck, and for five consecutive years previous to May, 1753, was serving his district.
October 10, 1776, Samuel Gardner was serving in this capacity, and his name is found upon the records every year, I believe, up to 1782.
In August, 1779, Philemon Russell received £ 18, and June, 1780, Edward Gardner, £ 14 19s 6d (probably for teaching in their respective districts, as Samuel Gardner and Amos Warren were on the school board at the time). Edward Gardner in 1782, and as late as 1786, served on the committee, and Mr. Russell's name occurs in the same connection, year by year, to the end of the period which we are considering.
Another teacher, in one or the other of these districts, was James Gardner, who received, through Collector Hawkins, pay for his services, August, 1
ily genealogist, graduated from Harvard College, and was long located at Lynn as a physician, where he died in 1831.
By way of recapitulation, we add the following table, which is a continuation of the one on page 16, Vol.

rk, a position which he did not hold long, as, May 20, 1779, we read that Samuel Swan was serving in that capacity.
The last time we find Mr. Russell's name associated with school affairs was in 1780 (already referred to as the year of greatly-inflated values), when the district under his management received £ 317 8s 6d of the £ 6,400 appropriated for schools!
Walter Russell, son of Joseph and Mary (Robbins) Russell, was born January 24, 1737, and died at the early age of fortyfive, March 5, 1782.
For his second wife, the mother of his children, he married Hannah Adams (Historic Leaves, Vol.
III., p. 89). Dr. Paige, the historian of Cambridge, says that Joseph Russell, the father, lived on the north side of the main road in Menotomy, on the first estate west from the river (Alewife brook), but in 1730 exchanged estates with Captain Samuel Whittemore, and removed into the borders of Charlestown, now Somerville, where his home was on the road leading to Winter Hill.

Mr. Phipps served continuously from 1751 to 1757.
He was a descendant of Solomon Phipps, an early settler of Charlestown, and in previous chapters we have given the family due prominence.
According to Wyman, he was the father of Frances, who became the wife of Timothy Trumbull, master of the town school in 1680-2. Mr. Phipps died June 27, 1795, aged seventy-two.
May 12, 1755, Mr. Phipps received an order for £ 5 4s 9d, 1.
m., for Mr. Jabez Whittemore keeping the school [Gardner Row?] without the Neck the year past.
Doubtless this is the Jabez Whittemore who, in 1756 was approbated as inn-holder at his house without the Neck, where his father lived.
Mr. Francis's place on the board was filled by Henry Putnam, who, according to Wyman, was a new-comer from Danvers, and of the Israel Putnam stock.
