INTRODUCTION.

1555902

We herewith offer for the approval and use of the citizens of Millburj, and others interested in the business and standing of this thriving town, a Directory of the inhabitants, designat- ing the trade or profession of each, and the place of business and residence, with as much particularity as practicable where the streets have not been numbered. We have endeavored to make the list of names as correct as possible, but as a matter of course we expect to find it not altogether so. Taking the April season of removals as the time of making the list, per- haps it will be less subject to variation as regards changes of residence, than if made at any other time of year ; and yet these changes are constantly taking place, varying its correct- ness to some extent. We have procured a Map of the Town, engraved by the Kellogg Bulkeley Co., of Hartford, and have endeavored to combine all the features of all the surveys at our hands in its production. Should it not be absolutely per- fect in its details, it will, we think, be found sufficiently so for the purposes of this Directory.

In connection with the Directory of names, will be found over sixty pages of matter of especial interest to the citizens of Millbury, giving a brief and comprehensive history of the town; a history of each Religious Society, illustrated by an engraving of the Church in which it now worships, and the ground plan of the Lord's barn," the first Church ever erected in the town, with a list of the first pew holders ; an article upon the Public Schools and the plan of their organization, with brief mention of schools of higher grade accessible to pupils from Millbury ; also, of the Free Public Library, and various coun- ty societies and associations in which all have an interest; with statistical and other information concerning the past and present of the town.

There will be found a complete list of th^ Town Officers for 1871-2, with the general appropriations for the year, and the division of the highway tax among the districts ; railroad

matters, opening and closing of the mails, coach routes, history and officers of the Masonic and Good Templar Lodges, postage and stamp rates, &c.

In making up these various items of general information in our ^'General Summary," we have the pleasure to acknowledge our indebtedness to Col. A. H. Waters, Dr. Leonard Spaulding, and I. N. Goddard, Esq., in particular, and many others, for facts, suggestions and material help, that our book might be as nearly correct as possible ; and to the several pastors for their interest and assistance in the history of the churches. We are especially indebted to Dr. Spaulding for the full sketch we give of the first church, and for the plan of the original edifice ; and to Rev. D. Dorchester, late presiding Elder, for the sketch we give of the Methodist church, as well as to the pastor for his researches and assistance.

We sent circulars to all the prominent business firms and corporations, asking for certain items of information, that we might be able to compile a full, or nearly full, statement of the business of Millbury. But so few have responded that we have been unable to accomplish our purpose. A brief article, which is from official sources, will be found on page 14.

Our list of names has been made up by our friend I. N. God- dard, Esq., the Town Clerk, who has spared no pains to make it complete. We deem ourselves fortunate in having secured his services for this work, as it w^ll assure our patrons of its general correctness. Those of our advertising friends whose advertisements came in in season, have their names in the Di- rectory put in capitals.

We show, also, a very fair list of Millbury advertis3rs to whose business we call especial attention ; because those Avho have public spirit to help on an enterprise of public utility, whose pecuniary success seemed at first to be doubtful, and who do not hesitate at a trifling expense in informing the public of their wares, are just that liberal kind of men who give good bargains to their customers, and with whom it is a pleas- ure to deal. As d general rule in these days, advertising is a necessity ; and those who think themselves sufficiently well known without its help, as in thousands of instances, find

MTLLBURY DIRECTORY.

their trade waning before the growing business of strangers, who become in a few months better known than themselves, simply because they keep the public informed of their busi- ness and purposes.

Our Worcester friends kn iW the benefits of advertising. - With pride we point to the unexpected patronage they have given us. While their department does not add to the price of the book, their material help has saved us from loss in our en- terprise, and made what was doubtful a fair success. Each has stated to the discerning public of Millbury, his own proposition in a business way. Give their words a fair reading, and then do as your interests and judgment shall dictate. Since some of the Worcester advertisements have gone through the press, there has been a re-numbering of some of the streets in that city, which may seem to confuse localities. .A little care in in'juirinj, will, however, obviate all difficulties.

And now we leave our little book in the hands of the public, with all its merits and imperfections. We are confident it will answer the purpose for which it is designed, as a Directory ; and as a book of general reference as regards town, county and state matters, and as regards other subjects of general interest collected in its pages. We think it will prove itself to be worthy a place in the Store, Office, Mechanic Shop and Home.

ILLBURY is a thriving and populous township of Worcester County, Massachusetts, situated on the Blackstone River about six miles south of Worces- ter. This river has its principal origin in the out- let of Ramshorn pond in West Millbury, It turns five water wheels in that part of the town, and then after passing through New to South Worcester, increased in volume and power by accessions from West and East brook, and from the waters of North Worcester, returns to Millbury, passing through its entire width, dividing the town into two nearly equal parts. Millbury is the first among the series of manufacturing communities which literally line the banks of that stream, from Worcester where it begins its southern course, to Providence, R. I., where its waters, after having given mo- tion to innumerable mill-wheels and furnished the requisite power for the successful prosecution of the varied industries which thrive in its busy valley, are received into the compara- tive quiet and rest of Narragansat Bay.

Its principal interests are the manufacture of cotton and woolen fabrics ; while many branches of mechanical pursuit find a place in its business to a greater or less extent. Guns and gunpowder were manufactured here during the Revolution- ary war, and in later years the manufacture of fire arms equalled the products of the government shops in other locali- ties, giving the name, ''Armory Village," to that portion which is now the recognized centre of the town. This branch of business has given place almost entirely to other and more peaceful pursuits. The Agricultural interests will compare favorably with those of the surrounding towns, in proportion to the extent of soil under cultivation, and present a fair aver- age of the productiveness of the county.

There are three principal villages in the town, viz : Millbu-

B

MILLBURY DIRECTORY.

Tj, Bramanville and West Millbury. In former times what is now known as the Old Common was the centre of the town, but the various manufacturing and mechanical interests grad- ually crjstalized around the water courses where power could be made an efficient help in their prosecution, and ao the Old Common lost its prestige, the church edifice followed the pop- ulation, and in the rise of other villages, its influence in the town gradually waned, though here for ninety years had been transacted the business of the parish and town. After 1836, for twenty years, the town meetings were held in Bramanville.

The largest village is now known as Millbury to the outside world, because the Millbury Post Office," the Town House and the " Millbury Depots " of both railroads are within its limits. It is made up of Armory Village, Goodell Village and the smaller clusters of dwellings between and around - all now united in one compact village. We find here four churches - the Congregational, Baptist, Methodist and Catholic - numer- ous manufactories, mechanic shops, stores, hotel, high school, national and savings banks, foundry, &c., &c., with many res- idences indicative of the wealth , taste and comfort of the oc- cupants.

To the west, about a mile from the Town House, is Braman- ville, it being what was formerly known as Burbankville and Singletary village united. In the early days this was the place of one of the largest, if not the largest, paper mills in the whole country. This branch of manufacture is not now pros- ecuted here, but the village contains some of the finest and best armnged mills in the town. It has one church, in which worships the old society of the 2d Parish in Sutton, now the First Congregational Church and Society in Millbury. The village is a lively and busy place. Irregularly built among the rocks, and surrounded by hills and ponds, it presents a unique and somewhat picturesque appearance. It contains 1200 in- habitants.

West Millbury, in early times called Grass Hill," lies some two miles further to the west, where there is a small vil- lage with a post office, store and shoe factory, tannery, grist mill, saw mill, some mechanical shops, and formerly an influ-

ential church. But the leading pursuit is agriculture. It is said that before the lands were settled, individuals living in Brighton and vicinity would come up here and burn the land over every spring to give the grass an early start ; then they would drive their cattle up to " Grass Hill " for feed early in the season. The largest and best farms in town are here. The soil is specially adapted to the raising of hay and stock, and is equal to the best in Sutton and Auburn, while its green hills are a delight to the eye of the observer. Here can be found -im- improved stocks of horses and cattle, equal to any in Worces- ter county.

The early history of the town, while embraced in the limits of Sutton, from which it was set off in 1813, is involved in obscurity ; and we only know that as a part of that township it was purchased of the Indians - John Wampus and the Hassanamissit tribe - and the purchase confirmed by the Gen- eral Court in 1704 ; that the Legislature of 1715 gave this territory a legal existence as a town, to be called Sutton ; that in 1716 three families were permanently located there ; and that in 1717 the first child was born within its limits. Whether these families lived, any of them, within the limits of what is now Millbury, we cannot tell, and have no means of ascertain- ing. In 1718 the first town meeting was held, in the part of the town still known as " eight lots," in a house now standing. Of the succeeding twenty-five years, we only know that the number of the inhabitants increased in about the same ratio as in other settlements, and that land in all parts of the town was taken up and occupied by settlers, for at the close of that period in 1743, the portion now Millbury, was erected into a distinct parish and called the * * Second Parish in Sutton. ' ' Thirty heads of families were dismissed from the first Parish and Church to constitute this second Parish. This would indicate a popula- tion of about a hundred. The history of this Parish as a re- ligious corporation will be found in the notice we give in its proper place of the Congregational Church at Bramanville.

Seventy years mark the history of Millbury as the 2d Parish in Sutton. What of life as it then was, remains, is seen only in dim shadow - for very little of historical fact is accessible,

and that little in the dry matter of Parish record. During that period, however, the people must have passed through those changes vrhich converted the bridle-paths, and horse-and- pillion mode of travel, to carriage roads and the rude begin- nings of the elegant vehicles of to-day - through the trials of the old French vrar - the war of independence - up to the last war with Great Britain, in the midst of which the 2d or North Parish of Sutton becomes lost in the new Town of MiLLBURY. The separation caused some feeling at the time, and men's passions became excited on both sides of the new boundary line, so much so, that one old gentlemen living south of the line uttered the wish, that '* a wall might be built be- tween the two towns so high that the sun might never shine over it."

But time has justified, the wisdom of the separation. The name of the new town, derived no doubt from the great num- ber of its mills, for those times, becomes an indication of the causes and means of its progress towards the development of the present ; so that now, even more than at first, Millbury (or borough - for hury seems to be the short of borough - meaning an incorporated town,) is the town of mills. Manufactories increase, business enlarges, the town steadily grows in popula- tion - 926 inhabitants in 1820 ; 2153 in 1835 ; 3091 in 1850 ; 3296 in 1860 ; and 4400 in 1870.

In its growth in wealth and population, Millbury has notfor- gotton her duty toward the rising generation. Her schools have given abundant opportunity for their development and education. As fast as improvements in school houses, in school furniture and in school furnishings have been tested, they have been adopted in her scho.)ls ; and it is doubtful if to-day anoth- er town can be found in the county, where the school buildings and apparatus are more convenient or tasteful than here. A new school house on Simpson street, has just been erected, of elegant proportions, with the modern furnishings, which is the pride of that section of the town. The desire of those who have charge of school matters, seems to be, that the schools of the town shall ever keep pace with the most advanced in other localities.

GENERAL SUMMARY. 13

No especial local event to greatly disturb the even surface of the body politic, has occurred during the period of the town's history as a town. Peculiar business interests may have aris- en, flourished and decayed ; men have made and lost fortunes, as everywhere ; have lived, labored and died ; been a blessing or the contrary to the community ; but the steady and sure passage of time has wrought the diverse works of the whole past into the web and woof of the present - its manufacturing and agricultural interests having so far proved mutual helpers.

In the recent national struggle, Millbury has a claim to no- tice. She put 405 men in the field for various terms of service, and in response to the repeated calls for more men. Her killed, wounded and missing, indicate the arduous service and the fierce encounter in which they fell. Add to this the contribu- tions of her citizens ; the patient and untiring work of her women in aid of the Christian and Sanitary Commissions, and for special objects of good to her soldiers ; and the fervent prayers of all those who believed there was a Divine guidance in the development of events ; - and we have a record of zeal- ous labor and sacrifice, equalled, probably, but not excelled by any locality.

It is claimed for Millbury that the first Lyceum, the parent of the present system, originated here. It was composed of members, who, each in turn, lectured before the public upon philosophical or scientific subjects. The date of its formation is not given us, but the recollection of the oldest inhabitant is cited as attestation to the fact. It seems there has been inves- tigation in this direction, for in a late number of the Congre- gationalist, (say within a few months,) there was an article on this subject which quoted from some lyceum or educational re- porter a paragraph, saying, that after careful investigation, the conclusion had been reached, that the honor of starting the first Lyceum belonged to Millbury !

It is also claimed that in Millbury the first temperance socie- ty was formed. Tradition informs us that its peculiar feature was to prevent its members drinking too much. So every Satur- day evening they met at the school house, and each gave in an account of his week's indulgence ; if, in the opinion of

14 MILLBUllY DIRECTORY.

the inajoritj, any had overstepped the bounds of moderation, such were placed upon an allowance for the week to come. It is related that upon one occasion a member confessed to having abstained entirely for the week that was past. So unheard of a declaration met with universal disbelief, as a thing impossi- ble in human experience. And when the same member declar- ed that he would never drink again, he was regarded as delud- ed or insane ; it was believed that he must take his dram in secret and behind the door ; and so he was subjected to every sort of espionage that seemed to promise a revelation of the hidden mystery. But the supposed secret never came to light in the way of public expectation, simply because the man was true to his purpose and lived thereafter and died a total ab- stainer. Peculiar as was the organization and purpose of this society, who shall say this step was not a vast stride in ad- vance of the habits of the times. This temperance society was the preliminary of a tee-total society that soon took its place, and under various names has existed here ever since - now full fifty years.

The Millbury of to-d^y has her quota of churches to suit the varied sentiments of her people ; her benevolent institutions ; her schools of education ; her public library ; her secret orders for mutual good ; and her individual opportunities for christian and charitable labor. None can say there is not a field of use- fulness open to every laborer here ; none can say there is a dearth of means for improving it. The spirit of the " golden rule " will prompt to the performance of the advancing duty, and if its promptings be heeded, each individual worker will help to change the brass and iron of this utilitarian age into the sterling gold of the time to be.

Business of Millbury. The amount of business in 1837 was ubout $515,775, arising from the manufacture of cotton and woolen goods, guns, scythes, paper, boots and shoes, &c. In 1870, the amount of business involved in manufacturing and mechanical operations, is in the aggregate, as furnished us by authority, rising $2,500,000.

GENERAL SUMMARY. 15

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Public School system of Millbury comprises one High School and sixteen Common Schools, under the charge of a School Committee of six members. The amount raised by tax- ation for their Support for the year 1871-72 is $6200. The value of the school property belonging to the town is $35,000, consisting of seven school houses and the apparatus connected with the school rooms.

The High School is kept in the first story of the Town Hall, and is under the charge of a Principal and one Assistant. Its average number of pupils is about 55, composed of graduates of the Grammar schools of the town and young people from some of the adjoining towns. Its Course of Study embraces a period of four years, and is divided into an English and Clas- sical Coarse ; the former includes the higher mathematics, the natural sciences and English and French literature ; the latter is intended to fit young men for college. The school is Well supplied with apparatus for illustrating Philosophy and Chem- istry, and the pupils have access to the Town Library. Candi- dates for admission to the Fourth Class are required to pass a satisfactory written examination in arithmetic, grammar, geog- raphy and United States History. Candidates for advanced standing must pass an examination in the studies pursued by the class they wish to enter. A Diploma is granted to those who satisfactorily complete the course.

The Common Schools consist of Graded and Mixed Schools, and are located as follows : - Mixed Schools in the Hay ward District, at the Burling Mills and on the Old Common. Grad- ed Schools - in Bramanville and Armory Village, each, a Sub- Primary, Primary, Intermediate and Grammar School ; on Prov- idence St., a Sub-Primary, Primary, and Intermediate; and in West Millbury, an Intermediate and Grammar School. The Course of Study in the Graded Schools embraces nine years, and is based upon the supposition that the scholar enters the lowest at the statutory age of five, and is in a measure preparatory to the High School. Scholars in the Mixed Schools are permitted to enter the higher graded schools when competent to do so.

SCHOOLS OF HIGH GRADE,

Accessible to the inhabitants of Millbury by railroad, and in which they have a special interest. The first of which is

The Worcester County Free Institute of Industrial Sci- ence. Instruction Free to all residents of the County. All oth- ers $60 per year. The object of the Institute is to furnish a training school for young men of moderate means, or even without means, in which they can receive an education in the branches usually taught in High Schools and Academies. Book learning is combined with trade learning, and the student re- ceives the benefit of an ordinary school, and at the same time a thorough knowledge in the scientific part of the trade or pro- fession he proposes to follow, inculcated by the practical appli- cation from day to day, in the machine shop or the laboratory, of the scientific facts obtained from books and lectures. It is intended that any graduate shall be fitted to assume the respon- sibility of superintending any department of mechanical work to which he has turned his attention, and to understand not only its practical details but its scientific principles.

GENERAL SUMMARY. 17

There are two terms in the year commencing the second Thursday in September and the last Tuesday in March. Eeci- tations close July 1, and the month of July is devoted to prac- tical exercises in all the departments in the field, the shop, and the laboratory. All the students are required to attend these exercises, unless excused. Examination for admission, Sept. 12, 1870.

The Institution, with its connecting machine shop, is situat- ed on an eminence in the north-westerly part of the city of Worcester, donate*d to its use by Hon. Stephen Salisbury. It is munificently endowed by the late Biehard Boynton of Tem- pleton, who conceived the benevolent project, and the late Ichabod Washburn of Worcester, who built and equipped the shop.

The College of the Holy CpwOss, located on Mt. St. James, in the southerly part of Worcester, is designed exclusively for catholic students. It is a College of the first order, and its classes compare most favorably with any graduated from any other college.

The Worcester Academy is a denominational school of the Baptists, occupying the large and beautiful building used as Dale Hospital during the war. Rev. David Weston, A. M., is Principal, with a competent corps of assistants.

The Highland Military School, wjiere military drill is con- nected with the usual academic studies, is well known for the excellent and thorough training of its pupils. Its buildings are in the northerly part of Worcester, a half mile beyond the Court House.

The Oread Institute, for young ladies, in the building built in imitation of the feudal castles of the old world, is a board- ing and day school of high grade, and receives many pupils from abroad.

In addition to the above, there are Schools of Design, Paint- ing, Wax Flowers, for Commercial instruction, and teachers of the Organ, Piano and Vocal Music, &c., all within the reach of pupils who visit Worcester by the railroad trains.

MILLBURY mm PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Trustees - John Hopkins, H. Waters and Amos Armsby. Librarian^ - H. A. Aiken.

The Library is located at the store of the librarian, and is open for the delivery of books on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from two to four o'clock, P. M., and on Saturday evenings from six to eight o'clock.

This Library was established by the town in April, 1864.

The Board of Trustees consists of three meihbers, one chosen by ballot each year to serve three years, together with the Chairman of the School Committee and Principal of the High School, as members ex officio.

History. May 1st, 1851, the Society of Social Friends, a society connected with the Millbury Academy, held a Fair, the proceeds of which were appropriated for the purchase of books. About that time the following record was made in their jour- nal: The Society of Social Friends have made a beginning in the way of a library, under auspices that augur well for the interest of the society in good reading, and which hold out flattering prospects for the future. To this beginning they hope to make additions from time to time as their resources will admit, and as the wants of the society may demand."

This society in April, 1864, offered their library, then con- sisting of about six hundred volumes, to the town " for the purpose of founding a Free Public Library, upon condition that the town will accept it and make suitable provision for its care and increase. This generous offer the town accepted, on the recommendation of aJCommittee chosen to consider the subject, and has annually appropriated a moderate sum for its care and increase." It now contains something over sixteen hun- dred volumes, consisting of standard works of reference, histo- ry and poetry, with choice essays and romances, and also valu- able works on farming.

While, therefore, our citizens have the advantage of a free library, they should assiduously watch that its freeness be not the occasion of underrating the value of the books belonging to it, and thus giving occasion for their defacement and loss.

Pratt, President ; F. C. Thayer, Secretary.

The Worcester County Horticultural Society gives its at- tention to the development and improvement of fruits and flow- ers. Its membership is as widely difiused as its name indicates, and its usefulness in the direction of its speciality is unques- tioned.

MILLBURY, MASS.

Organized in 1747.

FEBRUARY, 1742, a petition, signed by citizens living in 'he north part of Sutton, was presented by Capt. Robert God- dard, Solomon Holman and Jer- emiah Buckman to the General Court, asking to be set off into a separate Precinct. This petition met a favorable reception. The Court appointed a Committee who visited Sutton, and after faithful inquiry into the reasons and advantages of a separation, reported in favor of a division, as follows : a line drawn from the westerly bounds of Grafton, parallel with the north line of Sutton, and three miles south, till it meets with the easterly bounds of Oxford, was to form the southern boundary of the Second Par- ish in Sutton. The report of this Committee was accepted and concurred in by the Court, Oct. 28, 1743. The limits then assigned to the North Parish " constitute the present boun- daries of Millbury.

The first legal meeting of the Parish was held at the house of Richard Singletary on the 26th day of December, 1743. Capt. Timothy Carter was chosen moderator and Robert God- dard, precinct clerk. All subsequent meetings of the Parish were held at this house till the 30th of May, 1746, when the meeting house was so far completed as to accommodate Parish meetings. Preaching and religious services were also held, for a long time, at the house of Mr. Singletary.

At a meeting held April 29, 1745, the Parish extended a call to Rev. Matthew Bridge to settle with them in the ministry. His answer, declining the call, was read in a Parish meeting, Aug. 19, 1745. Just six months after, they voted a call to the Rev. Josiah Dunster. His answer was given Sept. 1, 1746,

22 MILLBURY DIRECTORY.

but his terms were such that the Parish voted not to accept them.

On the 16th day of March, 1747, a call was given to Rev. James Wellman. At an adjourned meeting held on the 30th of March, it was voted to give Rev. Mr. Wellman as an en- couragement to settle among us," 500 pounds in old tenor as a settlement, and 250 pounds of like tenor as a yearly salary. The call and the terms met the approval and acceptance of Mr. Wellman. The Church was organized Sept. 10, 1747. The services on this occasion were participated in by Rev. Mr. Hall of Sutton, Rev. Mr. Campbell of Oxford, Rev. Mr. Webb of Uxbridge and Rev. Mr. Maccarty of Worcester. In connexion with these services a season of prayer and fasting was held, preparatory to the ordination of Rev. Mr. Wellman, which took place Oct. 7, 1747. The Church adopted for its Confes- sion of Faith and Covenant, and as its Rule of Government, the Cambridge Platform . This Platform admitted ' ' Ruling Elders ' ' as a distinct class of Church Officers. This Church, however, was never Presbyterian. For many years it had its ''Ruling Elders," but the church has always adhered to the ''pure and unmixed idea of a Congregational Church," that equality and disciplinary power are inherent in its members.

The Parish commenced building its first meeting house on the 19th of March, 1744, but the house was not completed at the time of Rev. Mr. Wellman's ordination. It was 40 feet long and 35 feet wide. It stood about two rods north east of a large elm tree now standing on what is called " The Old Common," which embraced at that day, an open plat of two acres. It had no steeple, and in form it was like a barn.* During the time the second house was building, it had become so little respected, that it was commonly called the " Lord's Barn." After the erection of the new edifice, it was removed a few rods to the east and converted into a public house. The Society began to build its second house of worship in 1802. It was 52 feet long and 50 wide. It was completed and dedicated Nov. 27, 1804.

GROUND PLAN OF THE CHURCH BUILT IN 1747. The Lord^s Barn."

The above Is a pretty exact delineation of the ground floor of the first church edifice erected within the limits of the town. It is kindly furnished us by Dr. Spaulding of Bramanville, to whom we are much indebted for the history of the parish, as also for much other information concerning the town. The pews are numbered in the plan as in the church, and we give below the names of the first owners and cost of the ground - for each individual bought the ground and then built his own pew.

Pre^^byterian church in the east part of the town known as Armory Vilhige.'^ The petitioners stated that they had been led to make this request, not *' through any disaffection toward the church or pastor, but by a deep conviction of the necessity of procuring some further religious privileges and advantages for the increased and increasing population in that part of the town ; as also for their own greater convenience and accommo- dation." On the 16th of July the church voted, *^ that they had no charge of offence against them," and cordially dismiss- ed the forty who had made the request, and who with others, were accordingly formed into the Presbyterian Church of Mill- bury by the Presbytery of Newburyport, on the 23d of Aug., 1827, Immediately after its organization, the Communion of the Lord's Supper was administered, and the two churches unitedly partook, thus initiating between them a feeling of christian fellowship and harmony which has ever since been maintained. Though this was originally a Presbyterian church, it very soon adopted the Congregational mode of government, and has since been called the Second Congregational Church in Millbury.

With the growing importance of Armory Village, began to spring up the manufacturing business of Bramanville, a village about a mile west of the former. Bramanville, so called after Br. Braman, an early settler, is situated on a remarkable stream, containing eight water-falls of nearly twenty feet each, within the distance of one mile. To this village the question of removing the meeting house from the Old Common, began to be agitated soon after the formation of the Second Church in Armory village. The question was introduced into the Parish meetings as early as 1832. As there were decidedly diverse opinions respecting its removal, it was mutually agreed to leave the decision of the matter to the judgment of five **good and disinterested men." The referees were chosen at a Parish meeting in March, 1834, and were composed of the following men, viz : Rev. Elisha Rockwood of Westboro'; Rev. Thomas Snell of North Brookfield ; Rev. Rodney A. Mil- ler of Worcester; Rev. John Nelson of Leicester, and John W. Lincoln, Esq. of Worcester.

GENERAL SUMMARY. 25

The above named referees met on the ^' Old Common " on the 4th of April, 1834. Br. Snell was chosen chairman. - After having duly and carefully considered the reasons for and against the removal of the meeting house, they came to the fallowing decision on the second day of their deliberations. - 1. They decided that the interests of the Society would be ad- vanced by its removal. 2. They decided that the most desira- ble location for it was the spot where it now stands. 3. They decided that the expense of the removal should be borne by those who favored the change, and not by the Society in its corporate capacity. Those owning pews in the house as it then stood were to have pews as eligibly situated after its removal.

After holding several Parish meetings and thoroughly dis- cussing the subject, its removal was determined. The work of taking down the house of worship and of erecting it on its present location, was carried forward with earnestness and en- ergy. It was completed in the fall of 1835, and was rededi- cated January 14, 1836. In this re-located Church the So- ciety worshipped for just thirty years, before any material change was made in the building. At the expiration of that time, in 1866, the interior underwent a thorough re-model- ling, and was re-dedicated March 11, of that year. It has sittings for 500.

Several prominent persons, living in the northern and west- ern part of the town, were not reconciled to the pulling down of the House of God which had been consecrated to the service of the Redeemer's Kingdom, thus rendering desolate the sacred spot where the fathers had worshipped. A movement was soon inaugurated for erecting another meeting house in the west part of the town. The work was completed, and April 20, 1837, twenty-nine members were dismissed from the First Church for the purpose of organizing the ''West Congrega- tional Church in Millbury." This Church was organized by a Council May 23, 1837, with forty-five members. They adopt- ed the Articles of Faith and Covenant of the First Church. - The "West" Church was under the ministerial care of Eev. A. Phillips, and Rev. Caleb Elliott, and others, till July 8, 1840,

when Kev. Sidney Holman was installed pastor. He was dis- missed by a Council June 11, 1851. Occasional services were maintained in this house till Dec. 28, 1857, when the Church was formally disbanded. ^

MILLBURY, MASS.

Organized Aug. 23, 1827.

W

^HAT is now the Second Church was organized as the First Pres- byterian Church inMillbury," Aug. 23, 1827, - an offshoot of the First Congre- gational Church, and consisting of nine- ^teen males and twenty-two females. - |Prior to this, there was but one church in town, the place of worship being on the Old Common," called by some of the old people "Mount Zion," whither the " tribes went up to worship," and whose pilgrim feet left their imprint on the door-step, which is still preserved under the out- spread arms of the Old Elm.

In 1834, the church renounced the Presbyterian and adopted the Congregational polity. The house of public worship was dedicated to the " Triune God," Oct. 2, 1828 ; and after a thor- ough remodelling, it was re-dedicated to the worship of the " Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," Oct. 19, 1862.

Over six hundred have been connected with this church dur- ing its history of forty-four years.

It is a noticeable fact that Yale College, having suspended the practice of conferring the degree of Doctor of Divinity for more than thirty years, should resume it again by making two of the former pastors of this church, Rev. Leverett Griggs and Rev. ^. G. Buckingham, Doctors of Divinity; and that the third upon 'whom this title fell from the same Alma Mater, should be Rev. I. N. Tarbox, who married a member of this church, Miss Delia A. Waters.

We give a view of the church building, taken from behind the foliage of the trees in front, which almost hides its fair proportions from the sight, believing that an unobstructed view of the edifice itself will be the most satisfactory.

THE Baptist Church of Mill- bury was constituted Dec. 23, 183G, with 19 members, at the house of Mr. Abijah Gleason in Yf est Millbur j.

For several months the meet- ings of the church were held in private houses and in the school

house, and on the Sabbaths in the Union Meeting House at West Millbury.

In Oct., 1840, meetings were commenced in the " Academy Hall," Armory Village, and continued there about 25 years. The brick house in which the Church now worships was erect- ed at a cost of $13,000, and was dedicated March 22, 1865.

MILLBURY, MASS.

THE Methodist Church in this place had its origin in 1822, - at which time the first Class was organized by Rev. Wm. Archer, a Methodist Local Preacher from England, who came

and resided there. It was first connected with the Nortlibridge and Milford circuit. This Class did not become permanent un- til a later period, but it was fostered by the occasional services of Revs. Herman Perry, Edward T. Taylor, Thomas W. Tuck- er, Reuben Rawson, Joseph Ireson, Charles Virgin, and John Lovejoy, who travelled the Milford circuit from 1823 to 1830. From 1830 to 1835, Revs. Dexter S. King, Horace Moulton, Joel Knight, Samuel Drake, and George Pickering extended their labors to this place.

In March, 1833, a parish organization was effected. In 1835, a great revival occurred under the labors of Rev. Mer- ritt P. Alderman, who was the first Methodist preacher stationed here. He was followed, in 1836, by Rev. Thomas W. Tucker ; in 1837, by Rev. Wareham S. Campbell; in 1838, by Rev. Mer- ritt P. Alderman, (second term) ; in 1840, by Rev. Wm. P. White ; in 1841, by Rev. Lorenzo R. Thayer ; in 1842, by Rev.

Roper ; in 1843, by Rev. E. W. Jackson ; in 1844, by Rev.

Phinehas Crandall ; in 1845, by Rev. John T. Pettee ; in 1847, by Rev. Geoege W. Bates ; in 1848, by Rev. Charles W. Ains- worth ; in 1850, by Rev. Wm. A. Braman; in 1852, by Rev. Willard Smith ; in 1854, by Rev. John Ricketts; in 1855, by Rev. Ichabod Marcy ; in 1857, by Rev. B. F. Greene, M. D.; in 1859, by Rev. Joseph Scott ; in 1861, by Rev. Solomon Cha- pin; 1862. by Rev. Daniel Atkins; in 1864, by Rev. N. H. Martin ; in 1866, by Rev. Edwin S. Snow ; 1869, by Rev. T. B. Treadwell; in 1870, by Rev. S. A. Fuller; and in 1871, by Rev. W. R. Tisdale.

The Church edifice was dedicated November 17, 1840, with a sermon by Rev. Orange Scott, from Acts 28 : 22. It was re- paired, refurnished and beautified, and re-opened May 21, 1868.

GENERAL SUMMARY. 31

(catholic,) MILLBURY, MASS.

WAS begun in October, 1850, and dedicated to divine worship, by Rev. Mr. Gibson, of Worcester. Previous to this, however, stated servi- ces had been held in the Town Hall for a series of years, until the number and contributions of the people warranted the building of a Church. It is probable that the first Catholic service in Millbury was held by Rev. James Fitton, then the first Pastor of Worcester, whose zeal and faithfulness in the cause of religion, made him the willing herald of his faith among all the surrounding villages. On his removal from Wor- cester, he was succeeded by Rev. Matthew Gibson, who also succeeded him in the field of his missionary labors, and by whom many churches were built in the neighboring towns and villages, among them the church at Millbury. Succeeding pas- tors were Rev. A. L'Eveque, and E. J. Sheridan, of Uxbridge, to whom Rev. J. J. Power succeeded, and under whose ener- getic care the church was enlarged so as to accommodate nearly 1000 persons, making it nearly twice the capacity of any church in the town. Being up to 1869, only a mission, it was then raised to the dignity of a separate Parish, of which Rev. M. J. Doherty is the first resident pastor. The church has been beautifully improved interiorly and is a gem of the fres- coing art. A new, large and imposing parish house has been erected this year, close to the church. The Catholic popula- tion is increasing fast, as will be seen by the record of baptisms of last year ; and religion is in a very flourishing condition.

In connection with the congregation, there is a very active and healtKy temperance organization, which at the time of writing, (May,) is zealously engaged in the good work of res- cuing and saving men and women from the evils which follow the use of intoxicating beverages, and their labors are reward- ed by an abundant measure of success.

This from a population of 4400, leaves IGOO, or more than one-third who could not be accommodated were all to go to church the same half day. Leaving one at home in each fam- ily as housekeeper, there would still be 800 nearly, who would have to stand up in the aisles, because all the seats would be full. But taking the fact that in the protestant churches the seats are generally only about half occupied at each service, and allowing three-fourths for the catholic, Vv^e find that about 500 less than half of the whole population make up the aver- age of the church goers. The communicants among the prot- estant churches are a little more than one-seventh the popu- lation ; in the catholic, possibly more than one-fourth. This is probably about the average state of things in all New Eng- land communities ; and shows how much still needs to be done, and how wide the field of labor still seems to be, in the way of awakening the dormant spirituality of the whole people.

OLIVE BRANCH LODGE F. A. M. Chartered 1797.

This Lodge was organized May 1, 1797, by the Masons resid- ing in Sutton and Oxford j and the meetings were held in each town alternately. Its charter is dated Sept. 14, 1797, and bears the well known names of Paul Revere, grand master, and Isaiah Thomas, senior grand warden. In 1816, this lodge was removed to Sutton, in which town it continued to hold its meet- ings until 1860, when it was removed to Millbury, where it has since remained. From this Lodge sprang the thriving organ- izations in Oxford, Webster and Grafton. It now numbers some 110 members. A perusal of its records reveals many interesting facts in regard to the history and customs of the institution in former days. Since its removal to Millbury it has flourished and increased, and numbers among its members many of her most influential and respected citizens.

BLACKSTONE LODGE, No. 18, I. 0. G. T.,

- Located in Millbury, was organized March 18, 1864, with a membership of only thirteen. Since its organization to the

P

42 MILLBIJRY DIRECTORY.

the present time, it has numbered about four hundred mem- bers. At the present time May 15, 1871, the membership is one hundred and fifty-seven. And the list of Officers for the current quarter is as follows ; - P. W. Wood, W. C. T.; Miss E. E. Howard, W.V. T.; W. R. Lovell, W. S.; G. A. Cheney, W. F. S.; W. A. Lovell, W. T.; Chester Hastings, W. C; Robt. Clifford W. M.; Miss Emily S. Martin, W. I. G.; Al- bert Stone, W. Sent.; Miss Anna Martin, W. D. M.; Miss Fannie S. Lovell, W. A. S.; Mrs. H. W. Sweetser, W. R. H, S.; Miss E. M. Goss, W. L, H. S.

From a very small beginning this Lodge has grown until now, and has become a power for good in the community, reaching out a protecting hand to the young and inexperienced, saving those who have fallen into habits of intemperance, and educating all in the higher and nobler attributes of manhood and womanhood. Thus a few determined men and women, having an earnest desire for the elevation of humanity, have labored on, - sometimes through days of darkness, almost disheartened ; sometimes through periods of hasty growth, not altogether healthy, when it has required the careful judg- ment of the wisest to maintain inviolate the great principles of the order - seeking only to save men and women from the evils of intemperance and help them to become good and hon- ored citizens.

DR. NEWTON'S COUGH BALSAM,

For the Relief and Cure of

Croup, Influenza, Bronchitis, Whooping

Cough, Common Colds affecting the Lungs and Air passages, and Long-standing Coughs.

This BALSAM was first compounded and used by the late Prof. CALVIN NEWTON, M. D., with great success in an extensive practice for many years. - It only needs to be once tried to secure for it an unparalleled reputation. It is now nearly NfNETEEN YEARS since we came into possession of the formula and sole right of using Dr. Newton's name in the manufacturing, vending* and selling the above Medicine.

The constant increase in the demand, and that without advertising, warrants us in saying that

No Medicine Yet Produced is Equal to it

FOR THE DISEASES FOR WHICH IT IS DESIGW^ED. For CROUP it is especially eflficacious, causing the patient to throw off the large <iuantities of Phlegm that accumulate in so short a time, and thereby giv- ing immediate relief ; when without such a remedy at hand, the patient might suffocate and die before a physician could be present.

Those contemplating a vacation by the seaside will lind it for their interest to consider the attractions of

These "Heights," embracing an area of over one hundred acres, are beautifully situated in the town of Falmouth, upon a blujSf overlooking the sea. Directly opposite, and in plain view, are "Vineyard Haven." "Oak Bluffs," and the "Highlands" at Mar- tha's Vineyard. The grounds are suitably divided into extensive Parks, Avenues and Building Lots, which latter are being sold with a rapidity that proves this to be the most desirable location for a summer resort on the Kew England coast.

The cool breezes from the ocean which fan these "Heights," render the season of summer here one of comfort and delight. - The facilities for Fishing, Boating, Bathing and Driving are un- surpassed, Falmouth being noted for its pleasant drives and beau- tiful ponds*

A Commodious Hotel

Has been opened under the efficient management of George Tower, of Worcester, where good accommodations can be had at a moderate price.

The lots, averaging in size 50 by 75 feet, are sold at a reason- able price, with every facility afforded for building.

Cottages completely furnished for housekeeping, will be let by the day or week, it being the intention of the proprietors to de- vise such a combination of Cottage and Hotel life as will afford all the advantages of good society and seaside air at a

REASONABLE COST,
