He lived a kind of hermit life by himself, and had some peculiar fancies, among which was the supposition that he was tormented by evil sjurits, and would show fight with his supposed enemies, armed with a pitchfork.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Franklin 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.
