Named in the 1908 county history

The history of Middlesex County was published 20 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

On many of the desks and on the walls were cut the initials of some of the scholars, many of whom made their mark in the world later. We had many fine teachers. 1 well remember one who would allow us to go to the pond and get some fish and cook them on the old wood stove, which we scholars thought was a very large qualification for a good teacher. The Kev. Mr. Stearns was committeeman for a long time, he preached at the Orthodox Church. He was a very sad looking man and in winter he wore a tall hat and very long coat, and when he came into school we all felt a shiver over us. One bright day he came in, placed his hat on a chair near the door, and the teacher called his attention to the day and asked him to look out on the huge snow banks.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
