Deceased Business Men.
George E. Kimball
Was born in Vermont, and first settled in Everett in 1871. He was the first postmaster of Everett proper. He removed to Chelsea shortly after- wards, where he remained until 1876, when he returned to Everett, and was associated with Dr. J. B. Everett in the drug business until he bought out the latter several years ago. It was due largely to his energy and push that Everett became a money-order office in 1879, that a third daily mail was secured soon afterwards, that a telephone office was opened in 1880, a Sunday mail established in 1881, a telegraph office in 1882, and the post-office made an international money-order office in 1884. Mr. Kimball was one of the pioneers in the establishment of the Everett Public Library, to which he devoted a large amount of time and labor. He was one of the trustees of the library from 1878 to his death, which occurred January 18, 1892. Mr. Kimball was a member of the Star of Bethlehem Lodge of F. and A. M., of Chelsea, and of Pal- estine Commandery of Knight Templars. He married, in 1877, Alice M. Hooper, of Presque Isle, Maine. Mr. Kimball, was first appointed as postmaster of South Malden, November 7,

He was educated in the public schools of his native town, He was connected with the boot and shoe business for seventeen years, and the provision business for three years prior to his coming to Everett in March, 1882. That year he bought the provision route of the late C. A. Fitts, and later the grocery store of Mer-
rill & Davis, uniting the two in one business which he carried on for some time at the cor- ner of School and Oakes Streets. In 1890, desiring better accommodations, he moved to the store at the corner of Railroad and Main Streets, where he was conducting his business at the time of his death. Mr. Iloffman enlisted in Company B, 16th Reg't, M. V. M., July 2, 1861, for three years. Ile was afterwards trans- ferred to the Reg't band. lle was discharged August 17, 1862. Ile joined Mt.

Josiah A. Kingman,
The son of Ambrose and Esther (Edson) King- man, was born in Reading, November 22, 1823, and died in Everett, April 18, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Reading, and at Andover Academy. He was a cabinet maker by trade, and for several years manufactured furniture for the southern trade. About 1859 he engaged in the retail furniture business in Boston. Mr. Kingman was prominent in musi- cal circles. He was a member of the orches- tra of the original " Father Kemp's Old Folks," of the Reading band, and for many years was the chorister of the Old South Church, Reading. From that town he moved to Boston, where he lived several years, coming to Everett about 1869.

He was also director of the Everett Choral Union for several years, and taught singing schools in Reading, Everett, Malden and else- where. " His years since early manhood have been dotted with musical effort in every direc- tion, public and private, and cantatas, old folks concerts, war song concerts, choirs and jubilees have felt the imprint of his vigor and skill." He has done much for musical culture in Everett, especially in drilling the church choirs, for which he had a special aptitude. Mr. Kingman was one of the Commissioners of the Sinking Funds of Everett for some thirteen years. Ile was a charter member of Everett Lodge No. 36, I. O. O. F. and Pales- tine Lodge, F. and A. M.

REMINISCENCES.
South Malden in 1835.
By FRANCIS B. WALLIS.
How to get from Boston to South Malden ? There were two ways of reaching it, one by the way of Chelsea Ferry and walking up via what is now known as Everett Avenue, the other via Charlestown to the neck, over Malden Bridge and the Newburyport Turnpike (now Broadway). By the latter way it necessarily entailed the pay- ment of two tolls, and if one rode in a chaise, the usual pleasure carriage of this time, the toll was eleven cents on Charles- town Bridge and eleven cents on Malden Bridge. If one rode out to South Malden on business or to make a call and returned back to Boston, the tolls would amount to forty-four cents, or if he walked the toll was one cent on each bridge. The sign over the toll house read " Rates of toll established by law." Many persons who rode regularly had an account 3 with the toll-keeper, re- quiring only to be recog- nized by him, which saved much inconvenience, par- ticularly in cold weather. On Malden Bridge was the old style draw which opened in the centre, quite on the Gothic roof prin- ciple; it was held together by immense iron bolts when the draw was closed. There is a story connected with this bridge, which can be vouched for, of an old gentleman who lived in South Malden who went frequently to Boston. He rode in a carryall hung on thorough-braces, which, in the course of years of usage had become dry, hard, and squeaked terribly, and if by any cause he was detained in Boston beyond the usual hour, the family would become anxious about him and would keep an ear open to hear the old carryall come squeaking over the bridge, which was readily heard. This gentleman's residence was not far from what is now Everett Square. This circumstance would hardly seem possible to Everett people of to-day, but in 1835, South Malden was known as the stillest place on earth. It should be borne in mind that South Malden was a part of the town of Malden. All busi- ness pertaining to town affairs had to be done
at Malden Centre. Town meetings were held there, tax bills payable there, churches and stores located there. There was no church in South Malden ; church goers found no fault, however, with walking up to Malden, attending divine service, and walking home again -and frequently went to Malden again to a lecture in the evening. In fact, walking was quite the general custom. Ladies would walk from South Malden to Boston on a shopping expedition and walk home again. The only conveyance from South Malden to Boston was Butler's Stage, which was appropriately named "Perseverance."

1. Former Residence of Benjamin Nichols, Fuller Street.
3. The Flagg House (Bow Street); probably more than than two hundred years old : occupied in 1818 by Captain Sprague. During the Revo- lutionary War this house was struck by a cannon ball, which remained imbedded in the house until within a comparatively few years.
2. Former Residence of Winslow Sargent, cor. Ferry Street and Central Avenue. 4. Residence of Charlotte and Esther Oakes, on Chelsea Street, built by their father, Uriah Oakes, about 1796.
5. The Simon Tufts House, near corner of Main and Winthrop Streets, bought of Stephen Paine's heirs, more than 70 years ago, and occupied by Simon Tufts and heirs until about 9 years ago.
This limited accommodation left Oakes's Corner, South Malden, for Boston, at 10 A. M. and returned from Boston at 4 P. M .; the fare was 121/2 cents each way. It was considered quite a public convenience when Second Street was cut through.
A man in South Malden who had a house to rent there, advertised it in The Boston Daily Times as "a very desirable and conveniently located tenement, but twenty minutes walk to the Chelsea Ferry." South Malden, it should be remembered, was a farming country. Fine fields of barley, wheat, oats, corn and potatoes could be seen everywhere, besides large past- ures where horses, cows, and oxen roamed at
will. These farms were owned and cultivated by Mr. John Lewis, Nehemiah M. Rider, Uriah Oakes, Capt. Corey, Joseph Swan, Simon Tufts, Jonathan Oakes, Capt. Winslow, Leavitt Cor- bett, Nichols, Mansfield, and others. They tilled the land, gathered the crops from field and orchard, and met together consulting about good haying weather and the prospects of a favorable harvest, little dreaming that their fair domains would be invaded by the modern house builders, and their fruitful acres covered with houses for sale on the installment plan ; that steam cars would cross their only named street, the Newburyport Turnpike, ad libitum, with 128 trains a day ; that this same Turnpike would be used by palatial cars, run without visible power; that churches, school houses, stores, post office and all the conveniences of mod- ern life, would, in less than sixty years, fill their noble hills and fertile valleys . with the homes of 16,000 inhabitants. It is a sur- prise to many that some modern Columbus had not discovered this " Sleepy Hollow " of South Malden, earlier. The advantages of South Malden as a place of residence were always known to be the finest located territory the sun ever shone upon, its air the purest, its water the sweetest and best, the view from its hill-tops superb, its sunrise and · sunset unsurpassed ; all of these advantages within 31/2 miles from State St., Boston.
South Malden in 1835 was composed of less than fifty houses, many of which grace the pages of this Souvenir, and by the aid of the camera, have become "not for an age but for all time." The few houses which composed South Malden in 1835 can be easily enumerated. After leaving Malden Bridge the first house on the left of Newburyport Turnpike was occu- pied by Mr. Samuel S. Sargent, afterwards, in late years known as " the Freeman's Inn." It originally stood where the brick poor house, belonging to the city of Boston, now stands. This was within the limits of Charlestown. The second was Captain Stephen Stimpson's, still standing, forming the corner of the Chemi- cal Works Street. The third house, was owned and occupied by Mr. Joshua Rich, assistant

toll-keeper for many years. Fourth, the Flagg house, still standing. Fifth, the Lynde house, a fine old mansion, occupied by Mr. Seth S. Lynde and his sister, considered as aristocratic a homestead as there was in South Malden. Sixth, was the old red house built in colonial times, formerly owned and occupied by Mr. Thomas Lewis, merchant of the firm of Thomas Lewis & Sons, owners of Lewis Wharf, Boston, afterwards for very many years the home of Mr. Timothy C. Edmester, an admirable picture of which, from the collection of the late Mr. Geo. F. Wallis, is to be found elsewhere in this Souve- nir. There is quite a history connected with this pre-revolutionary relic -it is said it often gave shelter to British troops. In Mr. Lewis's occupancy it was a fine old homestead and the élite of Boston gathered under its roof to enjoy the Boston Merchant's hospitality. The old house was demolished but a few years since. Seventh was the Osgood house, now standing, owned and occu- pied by James A. Wallace, Esq. Eighth, the Pickering house, owned and occupied by Mr. James Pickering, the grandfather of Mr. Albert N. Parlin, who has recently kindly donated the old Pick- ering homestead to Everett for a Public Library, to be called the " Fred E. Parlin Memorial Library and Read- ing Room," supplemented with a generous donation of a sum of money for its erec- tion, to be paid when the city shall have complied with the conditions of the gift. Ninth was the residence of Mr. John Lewis who may be properly called one of the oldest and one of the most prominent men of South Malden. Mr. Lewis's own- rship of land here was soon after the century came in. At one time he owned over fifty acres of what is now the central part of Everett, and was one of its largest land owners. He was a son of Mr. Thomas Lewis, who occupied the old red house before-mentioned, and a member of the firm of Thomas Lewis & Sons. This delightful old mansion will be remembered by many of the present citizens ; it stood in the centre of a large lot of land form- ing the corner where now stands Odd Fellows Hall. (A fine picture of the old homestead was from a photograph taken by the late Mr. George F. Wallis, and is to be found in the Souvenir.) The old homestead was a central figure in South Malden. Beneath its roof gathered many wealthy and fashionable people who always found a kindly welcome, receiving the old time courtesy from the courtly old gentleman and his beauti- ful wife. The surroundings were in keeping. A large and lovely flower garden graced the entrance, fine trees shaded the lawn, among them a fine catalpa tree, bought from the mil- lionaire Gardner Green's garden, Tremont St.,
Boston, while grapes, peaches, strawberries, and all the luxuries which could be grown were to be found here in profusion. Tenth, was the house of Mr. Uriah Oakes, now forming the corner of Chelsea Street and Broadway. It was bought by Mr. Uriah Oakes the elder, and occupied by his son Uriah Oakes from his marriage to his death in 1885. It is an impos- ing building at the present time. The interior has an air of comfort and elegance, the fine large hallway and immense square rooms are models for the modern architect to imitate. A small shoe shop formed the exact corner of Broadway and Chelsea Street, afterwards altered and occupied by Mr. Oakes as a grocery store. This and one other were the only grocery stores in South Malden. The Oakes estate was known all over this section of the country as Oakes's Corner. Eleventh, was the Rider house, forming the diagonally opposite corner, owned and occupied by Nehemiah M.
I. House formerly of Jacob Shute, corner Lynn and Shute Streets. 3. Staircase in the Captain Blaney House. Taken for the Everett Souvenir, by permission of William J. Partridge.

Rider, which afterwards came into the posses- sion of the Whittemore family, and is occupied by some of its people to-day. Mr. Rider had a house-paper manufactory which stood near where the Congregational Church now stands. He also owned a small, one story building, standing near where Kimball's drug store now is, where the old gentleman and his son opened oysters which they dragged out from Boston in a hand cart. Twelfth, was the Mansfield house, owned and occupied by Zachariah Mansfield ; the old house is still standing on Mansfield Street. Thirteenth, nearly opposite, was the small house built and occupied by James Watkins, still standing, forming the corner of Church Street. Fourteenth, in the rear of the spot where the Universalist Church now stands, was an old house, the homestead of Thomas Sargent, afterwards of Phineas Sargent, at one time
occupied by Mr. John Baldwin, now demolished. Fifteenth. In these days of palatial school houses, it can hardly be realized that there was but one school house in South Malden in 1835, and that stood quite near where is now the superb residence of Everett's first Mayor, Ilon. A. II. Evans. It was a long, low, one- story building, such as was built in the country in those days, where the children from all quarters came to school. Boys and girls climbed the hill in search of knowledge. It is said that in the old school house on the hill, scholars became as likely men and women as any the most pretentious school house of to-day can produce. Sixteenth, near the school house stood the old colonial style mansion of Mr. Elisha Webb, afterwards, and for very many years, as at present, owned and occupied by Mr. Calvin Hosmer. A fine picture of this well- preserved old homestead can be found elsewhere in this Souvenir. Seventeenth, directly oppo- site stood the house of Capt. Thomas Oakes, nearly a du- plicate of the Webb house. The above . named houses are all now remembered on the Newburyport Turn- pike from Malden Bridge to the crest of the Hill.
On what is known as Chel- sea Street, was the house of Uriah Oakes, now standing and occupied by his daugh- ters, Misses Charlotte and Esther Oakes. Samuel H. Clapp's house came next, which is now standing ; next, the Edmester house, and next to it came the old Clapp house, since burned. Fifth, Aunt Joy Oliver's house, now owned by Mr. W. J. Partridge. Among the many associations con- nected with this old land- mark, is the fact that in the ell of this house was kept the first dry goods store in South Malden. The assort- ment of goods was compara- tively limited, but sufficient to supply the wants of the Its location is neighborhood at that time. quite near that of the present Everett Springs. The old willows, which were near the spring, were a famous trysting-place for the young people, who there enjoyed the pleasure of each others society and drank nature's temperance beverage. Sixth, was the old Nichols house, and near the gravel pits was the Whittemore house. At the other end of what is now Chelsea Street stood the old colonial house formerly occupied by Mr. John Lewis, afterwards sold to Capt. Solomon Corey, and now the property of the Episcopal Church. Not far from the Capt. Corey house was the old Swan house, a capital picture of which is to be found in the Souvenir. The next is the fine old residence known as the Baldwin house, built and owned by Messrs. Charles and William Baldwin. This house was considered by many the finest in South Malden,
