2021 – The references to Native-American artifacts in the report done for Algonquin Gas a decade earlier lead to another study-survey which has just been completed. Some mid-Archaic artifacts have been identified.
In conjunction with our ongoing, if belated celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the first Earth Day, we, and especially Dan Mark, continue to research the history of Harris Pond, which has also led to research on the history of Stoughton’s water supply and the industrial pollution of some of our streams, especially Steep Hill Brook. New member Dave Foley has continued to find extensive records online, which greatly add to our understanding of the issues which surrounded the creation of the Muddy Pond water supply, which was our first.
In 1899, the Harris Pond area was going to replace Muddy Pond as our major supplier of Town water, but a lawsuit derailed that proposal and the Muddy Pond site was expanded and refined. The beds of the nearby streams were altered so that they did not flow into Muddy Pond, but around it. Streams were a major source of pollution, in fact, downstream from the Shoddy mill site and French and Ward, the pollution was terrible, as all their effluents went into the stream. Soon, thereafter, the factories at Springdale and Plymouth Rubber in Canton contributed further to the lethal mix that finally entered the Neponset River. The gradual clean-up of these streams, complicated by the underground plumes of toxins, emanating from sites such as Brookfield Engineering site deserves to have its own history written. The Harris Pond well field and pumping station came on-line in 1949, but Stoughton’s growth in the 1960’s depleted the water supply to the extent that there was a moratorium on building for a few years in the 1970’s, until we joined the MDC, which soon became the MWRA.
According to the information from the Water Department on the Town of Stoughton’s website, we now have seven groundwater supply wells, four water storage tanks, and approximately 150 miles of water mains. 95% of our water comes from local sources with 5% coming from the MWRA. There are emergency pump stations connecting to Canton and Brockton and emergency inter-connections to Easton and Sharon.
I have been part of many historically relevant walks this spring. Joe Blansfield took me the trail to the top of Rattlesnake Hill that begins in his back yard on Bay Road. I realized that I had not recently explored the many acres of new conservation land south of Rattlesnake hill that Sharon purchased last Fall. I recalled that in this area I had once stumbled across an open-pit mine that had been worked in World War II and set out to rediscover it. I began a methodical exploration of the area, beginning with the land just north of the Mountain Street extension. Not far from the road is a well preserved cellar hole and hundreds of yards of well-preserved stone walls nearby. So far, neither I, nor any folks from Sharon have been able to identify the family that lived here.
Further north, I came upon roads that had been used by companies who had considered buying this large tract of land over the last twenty years. These roads have yet to be incorporated into the Sharon Conservation Commission’s trail maps, but they make for fine trails between Mountain St. and Bay Road, although the parking on Bay Road is non-existent. When I had finally gotten the lay of the land, I set out with intrepid explorers David Martin, Joe Blansfield, and new Society member Stew Sterling. We FOUND the mine, just south of Coach Lane in Sharon! It was a spot where diatomaceous earth was removed; it was used for several purposes including filtering water to make it potable and stabilizing explosives. The site is close to Bay Road but shielded from view by wetlands and 100 feet of woodland. We also found a tire that most likely was left from that operation. It was a “Gum-dipped” Firestone with nylon.
Stew Sterling grew up on Columbus Avenue and says that he went into what is now the Bird St. Conservation Area a lot in his youth. He remembered getting to Goat Rock from the back, via a trail he recalled beginning somewhere near what is now called “Succession Field” near Jeffrey Way. I knew of one grown-in road that went in that general direction, but it did not come out at Goat Rock. After several attempts, we finally discovered a second road, which left the first one, and, indeed, did
go to the back of Goat Rock or Boat Rock, which is how he recalled the name. Did anyone else know it as Boat Rock? We have marked the trail with orange tape. It leaves the Blue Trail between the “boy scout bridges.” It remains puzzling to me that on the Gilbert Quarry end, this old road seems to go right through what is now impassable wetland, hence the need for the trail described above to access it. On Earth Day I led a hike to Goat/Boat Rock via the new/old route with a few explorers, including Dan and Karen Mark, Jane Mooney, and Debby Pransker Levine, with the latter soon thereafter joining the Historical Society, along with her husband, Mark. On the Saturday of Earth Week, a group of us including Richard Fitzpatrick, David Lambert, Joan Bryant, Heidi Tucker, and Ginger Hoffman hiked in to the McNamara-Hurley barn via the back fields, some of which are grown in and some of which have been cut regularly by Ed McNamara, who has leased the land back from the Town, after he sold it to the Town in 2000. Ed met us in one of those fields and accompanied us to the barn. Most of the rest of the hikers had never visited the barn before, although the Historical Society had a program there more than a decade ago, which saw considerable participation of the Hurley family, who owned the barn before the McNamaras. In subsequent discussions, I learned that Mrs Hurley was a Gitto. Her husband died thirty years before she did, and during most of that time she lived in the house now owned by Jim and Maureen Gibbons. After the barn and fields were sold to the McNamaras, she insisted that the driveway in to the barn, no longer traverse her lawn, now the Gibbons lawn.
We all agreed, I believe, that the barn and fields have great potential use for Town activities, but repairs and maintenance will be required. After the hike, Eric Studer showed many of us the small farm nearby that he and his wife, Jasmine Tanguay have done great work on, complete with goats, chickens, raised bed gardens, and many different fruit trees. It was a fitting end to our second Earth Week walk.
We (John Carabatsos to Rich Pratt to me) recently discovered a hand written speech, mis-identified by its envelope as having been written by George Pratt, but actually written by our second President, Newton Talbot, which he read to the Society on Feb. 9, 1897. It purports to give the history of Stoughton from 1795 to 1825. The content on the first 25 years is based on what he had learned of the history. The last five year are from his own memories as a child. Near the beginning of his presentation, Talbot quotes this poem by Edward Capen Jr. written, I assume, not long after the First Precinct left to form the Town of Canton, also leaving behind some apparent ill will in Stoughton. I think that the reference to the Deacon must be to Elijah Dunbar, who allegedly came up with the name of Canton, and whose diaries for 1762, 1763, and 1806 we have published and shared with Canton.
Dickermantown
Come all ye good people, attend to my song.
I’m loth to detain, though it shall not be long;
A place in Old Stoughton of Ancient renown,
That’s late gain’d the name of Dickermantown.
We challenge poor Stoughton, the mis’rable souls,
To come to Town Meeting and drink flowing bowls;
We clap hands and huzza to see them come down,
And shout them a welcome in Dickermantown.
We have brandy in plenty in every shop,
We’ve gallant West India and Noble egg popp;
Though the poor in his rags, the priest in his gown,
We all think we are happy in Dickermantown.
We’ve statesmen in plenty, and a Justice’s Race
Provisions and money both daily increase;
The alewives by thousand run up and down,
And all for the profit of Dickermantown.
Here’s health to the Deacon who took so much pains
To muster the people for so little gains;
And that Irish Captain, a man of renown,
Who’se one of the foremost in Dickermantown.
He spared no pains for to shout and to roar;
He clapped his hand till they both were sore;
He led forth the people, thogh black, white, and brown,
And all for the honor of Dickermantown.
Here’s Dickerman’s luck and here’s Dickerman’ Cheer,
Good beef, pork and pudding, and cider and beer;
Not forgetting old Tom, whose head’s underground,
Here’s luck to all people in Dickermantown.
-Edward Capen Jr
One premise of this paper is that Stoughton was lagging behind Canton, very early in the Industrial Revolution until it began to develop its own cotton industry. Talbot notes that between 1800 and 1810 Sharon had lost 18 people, Stoughton had gained 114, and Canton has gained 223, which he attributes to Canton’s “mechanical industries.” He infers that Sharon and Stoughton had reached their limits as agricultural communities and that young men and women were being forced to seek employment elsewhere or to emigrate. Old families left town until the only members left were those on the female side of the line. He mentions the families of Samuel Shepherd, both of the Bartletts, all the Pope’s in the South side of Town and nearly all of the Mortons. Capt. Samuel Talbot out of his family “lost” five sons and one daughter. He cites many other families from which “went forth sons and daughters, seeking employment where labor was in demand or heading for unsettled lands.” We know that Asa Drake left Stoughton to help found Strongsville, Ohio.
Talbot then introduces the cotton manufacturing industry without explicitly naming it, adding that it also provided employment for women and children. This was made possible by the invention of the roving machine and later the mule or jenny, operated by water power, which could pin more and better thread. He describes the development of the power loom, first by Lowell in Waltham and then at the Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He asks: how could the rise of cotton manufacturing have helped our town, if we did not have power looms nearby? If Talbot had had access to the Gay Cotton Manufacturing Company records or the subsequent Leonard Hodges records, discussed in the last newsletter, they would have given him some of the facts and figures about which he speculates. Instead, he has to rely on two sources: Alanson Belcher and Dr Puffer, who both tell him that their mothers wove cloth for the factory in Canton (Beaumont’s.) He then reminisces about the heavy loom that sat in their own living room, giving the words for the parts that he acknowledges that he never used: harness, frame with slay enclosed, tretles? Temple, shuttles, the three-legged chestnut tool, quill wheel, and the practice of feeding the loom using the yarn which had been wound on a stick at the factory. Had he access to the records to which I referred, he could have recorded the names of weavers, who took home yarn to weave and how much they were paid for the cloth they created. As noted in the last newsletter, Leonard Hodges was still employing home weavers, until he bought power looms in 1823. Talbot acknowledges that during these years there were two cotton-spinning factories built in Stoughton, “but of these I did not intend to speak, but leave that to others to study and report.” I suppose that your current President would be one of those “others.”
Talbot also mentions the industry of the braiding of straw for women’s bonnets at the store of Mr. Isaac Packard at “West Shares” now (1897) Brockton Height in Brockton. Porter Belknap made and repaired the straw-splitting machines. We know from the records of the Hodges Tavern in Easton circa 1813 that many women, who are specifically named, were splitting pieces of straw and weaving ribbons of “Dunstable cloth” as a home industry and selling their braid to Captain Samuel Hodges, usually getting credit towards goods that they purchased at his store.
Newton Talbot continues: “In the years previous to 1820, the shoe business had been moving southerly from Quincy and Weymouth to Randolph. It reached Stoughton in places near the Randolph line in 1820. The pioneers were the Littlefields in East Stoughton and James Tucker Jr. at North Stoughton. Others, whom he names made attempts, but he believes that Isaac Beals was the first person to manufacture shoes in the village that were sold by the case.
Having reached 1820, he says that he will move to what he remembers first hand: “There was no school in the center of Town (any more) but three outer districts. Number 3 near Belcher’s Corner, Number 5 near Atherton’s on the road to the hotel (Swan’s Tavern), and the Dry Pond district, which reached almost to the Center.”
Talbot continues with a detailed description of the B & A Capen Tavern (and store,) which is particularly interesting for a number of reasons. It is the building that was located just behind the site of the Lucius Clapp Memorial, was the location where many “sings” of the Old Stoughton Musical Society were held, and it is shown in the earliest known outdoor photograph of a Stoughton location. By 1820 it was owned by Abraham Capen alone. The entrance was in the center of the house, which fronted on Pleasant St. and on either side of the entry were large square rooms in the first and second stories. In the third story was a hall the whole length of the front of the building and in the rear, convenient anterooms. At the south end of the house was the store, a one-story building with a flat roof, or nearly so, built on a grade lower than the house so that as you entered from the store, you went up one or two steps.” He continues to describe the distinctively lettered sign, the nearby slaughterhouse, and says that the piazza, (which is seen in our one photograph of the building,) was not there when he was a child. When Talbot delivered this presentation in 1897, the building had been gone for three decades. He describes a house adjacent to the green, which contained a dwelling, a store and a hall on the second floor. It was not a large hall and not often used, but it was where Universalist ministers held services during the time of Ebenezer Gay. (who was the about-to-be-deposed Congregationalist.) He describes the Nathaniel Morton house, saying that Morton died early and his widow married Benjamin Capen, who lived there the rest of his life (which may also explain his absence from the tavern business. The Lt Lewis Johnson house was right across Washington St. from the green. Johnson’s son, who inherited the house was a blacksmith, who had a large round stone out front around which red hot (iron) tyres were reset. The hatten shop of Stephen Blake was at the junction of Pearl and Washington St. There were two local holidays, general election day, the last Wednesday in May and Artillery Election on the first Monday in June. Shopkeepers got out and set up their outdoor bowling alleys for these days of celebration. They enclosed these alleys by driving strong oak or walnut stakes into the ground and interlacing them with boughs of white birch to prevent the balls from wandering too far from the end of the alley. “In pursuing these amusements, or in running, jumping and pitching quoits, the men managed to get sufficient exercise so that when night came on, the punch bowl was usually empty. In this, they only followed the custom and habits of the time and I would not have it understood for a moment that intoxication was any part of the athletic exercises. In town, there were but three or four persons, and they did not join in the sports, who made these days occasions for excess in drinking.” Talbot also mentions Capt Austin’s barn, which was near the church and usually let to outside parties as a stable during these holidays. That may be near the location that Rich Pratt and Richard Fitzpatrick discovered recently that was given to the church by Austin, where the church goers could stable their horses, but Austin could retain the rights to the manure.
There are detailed descriptions of a number of other houses near the center, which certainly add to our knowledge of the Stoughton of 1820.
Talbot ends the piece with his personal recollections of attending the marriage of Samuel Hodges Jr., who came back from his post at Cape Verde to marry Marion Polly Wales and take her back with him. Talbot was only about six years old at the time. The marriage coincided with the installation of Officers of the Mount Zion Royal Arch Chapter of Masons in August of 1821. It was an occasion, “greater than any that had happened before, if not since, in the Town. There was lavish food and drink, cigars, a band, and singing. Talbot admits that he has limited memories of the occasion as a six-year-old, but he had found the programme for the event, which contributed many of the specific details. He does remember, “Samuel Atherton, then in his full manhood as he stood up and in tones both startling and peculiar render the tenor solo, “Cry out and shout thou inhabitants of Zion etc.” Although Talbot does not mention what Samuel Hodges Jr. and his new bride will encounter at Cape Verde, I found the reference poignant because within the next few years, Samuel and Polly will lose three children in infancy, Samuel’s brother, George Washington Hodges, and Hodges himself will finally succumb to disease in 1827. The only survivors are the child Samuel, whom they sent back to Massachusetts in 1826, accompanied by a Cape Verdean nanny and a goat. Two years later, Polly, herself, who will return as a widow to be re-united with the surviving son and spend the remaining fifty years of her life living in Stoughton.
Archivists Report
We researched to find the first female full-time regular Police officer in Stoughton and determined that she was Donna Bourget. There had been a number of matrons before that time. We searched for the school records of Raymond Griggs and finally found a record in the Town Report that he graduated successfully from Stoughton Jr. High School in 1939. Soon, thereafter, he left Stoughton, joined the army in 1945, and spent much of the rest of his life in northern Vermont. His daughter Betty Sweeney, also from Vermont appreciated this piece of information and finding out that the pictures she had of him were taken in front of the Clapp School. We also researched Daniel Lehan , a cousin of Ford dealership owner James Lehan. We found that he owned considerable property on Pearl St., then Pleasant St. and a barn on Brock St
Dan Mark, Dwight, and I did considerable research on Amasa Lincoln and the property we believed that he owned near Harris Pond, where legend has it that the Paul Revere Company test-fired the cannon before thy sent them off for service in the Civil War.
I sorted and cataloged a number of items formerly belonging to former Selectman Henry Britton, donated by Peter Orlando. Included in the donation: a punched train ticket on an Illinois Railroad in the Year the Old Stoughton Musical Society sang at the World’s Fair, the program for the ceremony in1896 when the Stoughton Historical Society placed the stone at the southeast corner of the Ponkapoag Indian Plantation, our first substantial act, a page from the Stoughton Sentinel, which listed the events of the year 1899, including the death of Henry Britton. I prepared and added to our political campaign buttons & ribbons, including a ribbon from the 1998 campaign of John Quincy Adams BRACKET, who won election to a single term as Governor of Massachusetts. He served as speaker of the house 1885-86 and as Lt. Gov. in 1887-1890 under Gov. Oliver Ames. He was preceded in both offices by Oliver Ames.
Janet Clough donated several things: 1994 membership directory from the First Congregational Church of Stoughton; a Photo of the Budweiser Clydesdale horses, which were Stoughton’s 250th Anniversary Parade in 1976; thirteen photos of antique cars that appeared in the July 4th 2011 parade; and a photo from July 4, 2011 of Stoughton Fire Department ladder 2 from the same parade.
Rochelle Degany donated a painting of Swan’s Tavern, painted by artist Bob Campbell c. 1999. William Murphy of Plymouth, donated a photo, (taken by photographer Chet Cohenno) of the Stoughton Police Department Staff c. 1962 Dave Lambert sifted, sorted and then passed several boxes of materials on the Stoughton Little Theater’s past productions
After receiving a copy of a photo purchased on eBay, Dwight and I spent a couple of hours researching the location of the old West Stoughton Post Office, finally locating it at 576 Canton Street. Cornelius Murphy was Post Master there from abt. 1896 or 87 until abt 1913-14. Mary A. Murphy was Assist. Post Master during most of the same period. Margaret Murphy was Assistant P. M. 1911-12 and Post Master from 1915-18. Lastly Frank J. Curry was Post Master from 1921 until at least 1927. (Ed. note: The Murphy’s lived at 582 Canton Street, so the W.S. Post Office was apparently located on the left front corner of their front yard. We believe the trolley track of the Blue Hill Street Railway can be seen in the lower left corner of the photo. -Richard Fitzpatrick
Curator’s Report
Our long-term project to inventory the artifacts in our collection continues. We did considerable research on the Forrest family in Stoughton and Sharon is the 1700’s. We also relocated the Town’s Tax records from the 1740’s and 1750’s, which will help in responding to questions about the residents of Stoughton, during that period.
Acquisitions: From Peter Orlando: A 10” high Printer’s Ink bottle labeled “Carter’s Koal Black Ink” with another label “Pequa Press Stoughton Mass”. See www.stoughtonhistory.com/bio-hanley1918.htm for more information about Michael William Hanley and the Pequa Press. Items donated by Barbara LaCivita from the old Page farm in North Stoughton included a 3-tine Hay Fork with a 6 ft. handle, a 4- tine potato rake, and a long-handled Ames #2 transfer shovel. Dwight Mac Kerron donated an “I got Vaccinated at Gillette Stadium” pin. A “1959 Member of Stoughton Fish & Game Association” pin and a 5-inch Wheel Hand Leather Tool, marked #20 J.B. Mann, Stoughton were purchased on eBay. -Richard Pratt
Clothing Curator’s Report –
When I first became part of the Historical Society Day Crew about 10 years ago, the Board of Directors were very interested in having the storage of clothing items completely reorganized. Their plan was to attack all of it at once with the Board assisting in making the changes happen. Their idea was that each box or hanging rack would contain the same type of article. For instance, a box of wedding dresses or a box or men’s clothing. The decision was made that we did not have the space to work on all 24 plus boxes and 3 hanging racks at the same time. As time has allowed, I have begun to put their plan into action—one type of item at a time.
We now have a separate wardrobe for Stoughton Grenadiers, one for Bicentennial clothing and a box for purses. Over the years I have also been moving shoes, hats, fans and purses from the 24 boxes as I come across them as I search for some other item. These items have been added to boxes or areas of our storage that contain similar items.
I am now caught up on the items that came in during the time that I was not coming to the Society during the pandemic and so have time to see that the Board of Directors plan is completed. Now I need help to complete the project one kind of article at a time. Can you help? I am willing to come in on Thursday evenings if you are not available during our open hours on Tuesdays. -Janet Clough Donations
