Medford Crackers were famous. Mr. Francis remained in business till 1818, when my father, Capt. Andrew Blanchard, Jr. purchased the estate and resided on it until his death in 1853. Lydia Maria Child was born in the house February 11, 1802. Her brother, Rev. Converse Francis, D. D., was born in West Cambridge, November 9, 1795. What is now Ashland street was a lane which separated my father's estate from the Bishop estate. My father's land extended on the lane to the estate next to Mrs. Gill's and to Forest street. Mr. Luther Angier bought the Forest street part back to the lane. When Mr. Francis retired from business, the Withington Bakery (next door), was established, and for many years the Francis's ovens were used in the old bake-house which has been taken down. The ovens were used until new ovens were built for the Withington Bakery. I have some recollections of the old house, its large kitchen with its great open fire-place, the crane, pots and kettles, and tin kit

always intermixed the trial of his cause with jokes, even sometimes hazarding verdict and friends; and this, coupled with his sarcasm, clear logic, keen, brilliant wit and eloquence, caused much discomfiture to his opponent, and made him a wily, dangerous adversary at the bar. The more difficult and intricate his case, the sharper became his intellect and the more terrible his weapons of battle. Distinguished as a jury advocate, he was entitled to standing with Butler, Sidney Bartlett, E. Rockwood Hoar or Josiah Abbott. He was appointed Clerk of the Courts for Middlesex, but he was like a bound gladiator and longed for the excitement of the forum. He occupied the position about a month, and said that if he stayed in the position another month he should have gone crazy. Many and severe were the clashes between Butler, Somerby and Griffin. Griffin once wrote an article entitled a Portrait of Butler by a House Painter, in the Bunker Hill Aurora, for which Butler never forgave him

Judge Hayes was both a familiar and well-known figure to us all. He discharged his duties as a town official with fidelity and ability. He was a Republican, and well known in Masonic circles.
