ARTS AND LITERATURE
Three women, all of whom have settled in Monson within the past fifteen years, have attained recognition in the field of literature. Ada (Mrs. Philip) Goepp of Stebbins Road had her first novel, Small Pond, published in 1956.
Mary R. Newland (Mrs. William) of South Hampden Road is the author of a series of books entitled: We and Our Chil- dren, The Year and Our Children and The Saints and Our Children. She has also writ- ten a book for children titled Adventures of Catherine of Siena, as well as illustrating many more, and is frequently in demand for lectures.
Dorothy R. Schneider (Mrs. William) of Wood Hill Road is Foods Editor of St. Joseph Magazine, writing a monthly article "In the King's Kitchen" under the pen-name of Sally Bradley. "A Story for Children" appears weekly in the Springfield Sunday Republican under the name of Maud Fran- cis. Mrs. Schneider has had many articles and children's stories published in such mag- azines as Highlights for Children, Humpty Dumpty's Magazine, Christian Science Moni- tor, and Nature Magazine. An article ap- pearing in Yankee has added local interest as the illustrations were photographs by Wilfred Kimber.
Following his retirement as office man- ager for the A. D. Ellis Mills Inc., Wilfred Kimber has continued his hobby of photog- raphy, specializing in the study of Nature.
As a member of the Photographic Socie- ty of America and camera clubs, he has re- ceived many awards and has lectured before
most of the larger camera clubs of New England. For the past two years Mr. Kim- ber has been an instructor in the Camera College conducted by the New England Camera Club Council.
Through his exhibition record in Inter- national Salons his name is well-known in photographic circles internationally.
Black Capped Chicadee - By Kimber
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols and their happy family at Camp All-Pine opened its thirty- second year in 1960 to carry on the work of helping underprivileged children of this area.
It has been a great source of satisfac- tion to Mr. and Mrs. JamesH. Nichols who are the directors of the camp to see so many boys and girls come to camp, stay a while and go home much better physically than when they arrived.
This has become possible through the

many friends who became interested in helping youngsters to a better and fuller life. The American Legion and the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary have been constant benefactors to the camp. Through the gen- erous help of many friends, Camp All-Pine can point with pride to a number of pro- jects carried to completion, such as , two dormitories, a dining room, water supply, swimming pool and pavilion.

HISTORY OF MONSON
Military Records
Neither history nor tradition has hand- ed down to our time any tragic tale or record of any deadly conflict with the In- dians such as happened at Brookfield, Springfield and Deerfield. The early set- tlers were annoyed by them, but not enough is known even to say "when or where or how."
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was en- gaged from 1744 to 1763 in wars that severely taxed the resources of the people. The early French and Indian war records of the men in the Monson area are, at first, so closely interwoven with that of the Mother Town of Brimfield, it has been dif- ficult to separate or discern from the Muster Rolls which veterans belonged to this dis- trict. The census which was ordered taken in 1764 is not available. The earliest record of the inhabitants of Monson is the proprie- tor's list of 1774.
March 15, 1744, Louis XV declared war against Great Britain. It is known in European history as the War of the Aus- trian Succession; in New England annals as "the old French War." The only link
which has been found which connects this town with this war-famous in this country by the successful attack on Louisburg, Cape Breton Island, and its surrender, June 17, 1745, - is "John Keep served in the 9th Regiment under Col. Joseph Dwight in 1745 in this expedition. He never returned to his home on King's Hill and no one knows where he is burried."
Fort Massachusetts (now Adams) was seized by a force of nine hundred French and Indians in 1747. In the Massachusetts Archives (Vol. 92, page 49) is a list of sixteen officers and men impressed at Brim- field and "sent to the Western Frontiers for Defence in the Time of the Alarm in June 1747." The following men named on this list lived in what is now the Monson area : Captain James Merrick, Samuel Kilborn, Marke Ferry and Humphrey Gardner.
1756, June 9th, war was again declared against England by Louis XV. This Seven Year War, so called in European history, ended February 10, 1763, by the Treaty of Paris. The war on this continent com- menced somewhat earlier and is known as

the French and Indian War.
Year after year armies were raised in New England. Five companies from this area were engaged in these French and In- dian conflicts.
1. A Muster Roll of the company in His Majesty's service under the command of Captain Daniel Burt on Crown Point Expedition March 30, 1755 - January 3, 1756. (Mass. Archives, Vol. 94, page 90) Corporal Jabez Keep, Robert Dunkley, Jr., and Thomas Blodgett appear on this list from the Monson area.
Of note is a document found among some papers in an old trunk, consisting of three old folded leaves from an account book marked "Moses Baggins Booklet." This gives the account of the men who were killed and wounded at Lake George, Septem- ber 8, 1755.
In Captain Daniel Burt's Company, Samuel Livermore was listed as killed; and William Janes, John Hallowell, William Gordon, Thomas Walton, John Burt, and Elijah Mighill were wounded.
2. In Volume 94, page 45 (Mass. Archives) is a document signed, Boston, March 20, 1756, which lists 54 men who served in Captain Ebenezer Moulton's Com- pany - expedition to Crown Point in Colonel Pomeroy's regiment - service September 11 to December 10, 1755. Twelve weeks, three days - wages 4L.2S.10D. Travel from Al- bany, 120 miles, took eight days. The fol- lowing men are the only ones recorded as living in this district: Sergeant Joseph Munger, Corporal Phineas Mirick, Corporal Aaron Graves, Thomas Riddle, Joseph Moulton and Jonathan Frost.
3. A list of men in Captain Trustram Davis' Company in Col. Dwight's regiment, Crown Point expedition, mustered into service October 11, 1756. (Mass. Archives, Book 94, Page 557). This company was composed of 36 men; 23 of them from Brim- field, of whom three were from the Monson area : Joseph Foot, drummer; Joseph Moul- ton and John Davis.
4. Muster Roll of a Company of foot in His Majesty's service under the command of Daniel Burt in a regiment raised by the Province of the Massachusetts Bay, the
for reduction of Canada whereof William Williams is Colonel from March 13 to November 20, 1758. (Mass. Archives, Vol. 96, pages 384 to 386). One hundred men were in this company; 49 from
Brimfield, four of whom belonged to the Monson district: Sergeant Aaron Merrick, Richard Bishop, Jonathan Molton and John Rosebrook."
Also in service in this same company from April 14 to November 13, 1759, were Paul Hitchcock, Istham King, Peter Groves, John Shaw, Peter Fuller and Reuben Hoar.
5. A Muster Roll of the company in His Majesty's service, under the command of Trustrum Davis, from February 14, to December 16, 1760, (Mass. Archives, Vol. 98, pages 271-274) includes Corporal Peter Fuller, Leonard Hoar, Jonathan Torrey, David Torry and John Davis from Monson.
It would take much further genealogical study to ascertain any more veterans of these wars. The Historical Society would welcome proven data in this field to aid in later genealogical filings.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR
The Town Records show several actions taken to provide assistance and loyalty dur- ing the Revolution.
As early as Dec. 29, 1774 it was:
"Voted to approve of the Choice of Commissioned officers in this place (Viz) Freeborn Moulton, Capt .: Nath'll Sikes, Leuit,; David Hitchcock, Ensign. Voted to Refer to the above officers that they make up a quota of minute men, train one Day in Each fortnight till the first of April next, and that they have one Shilling Each per Day for their Service."
"Voted Noah Sabin, Jonath Coye, James Blodget, James Stebbins and Stephen Hatch to be a Committee to See That the measures Recommended by the Continental Congress are fully Complied with."
Jan. 12, 1775 it was voted,
"To provide the minute men with all necessary accoutrements Except arms. Voted if the men are Called into Service at their Return Shall be Liable to Return all the Warlike Stores they received, that are not Nessessarily Expended to a Committee for that purpose."
The people of Monson were of one mind and heart in their devotion to liberty. Mon- sonians were earnest in their sympathy for Boston, when suffering in consequence of the Port Bill, and sent a contribution to aid the people in their distress. The letter sent by a bearer with "the small present from the inhabitants of the small district of Monson", is a most interesting document.
Page 149
HISTORY OF MONSON
It is printed in the Massachusetts Historical Collections, Volume 4th., 4th. Series, and shows that although the district was 'small', its people were plucky. It was addressed to the donation committee of Boston, of which Samuel Adams and Joseph Warren were members, and was signed by Benjamin Munn, Abel Goodell and Noah Sabin. This letter was dated April 5th., 1775, fourteen days before the Battle of Lexington, and it contained the following words:
"We send a testimonial of our firm adherence to the great cause you have assert- ed, in which everything dear to us is em- barked. We would not be found wanting in affording our utmost assistance to those involved in penury, on account of public liberty, and in vindication of our just rights. We profess a ready cheerfulness to shed our blood, to oppose tyranny and oppression, much more to part with our substance to help our suffering friends."
Appended to the letter was a note as follows :
"N.B. - We have eighty fellows in this district, a great part of whom are disci- plined and excellent marksmen. I dare to be bold to say that, at about thirty rods distant, they would pick up tories as fast as so many hawks would pick frogs from a frog pond."
The expected break came April 19, 1775, at Concord and Lexington, and swift couriers carried the message from town to town. As soon as it reached Monson, Cap- tain Freeborn Moulton collected his band of Minute Men and marched to Cambridge, where plans were laid for the siege of Bos- ton. Thus was begun the War for Independ- ence.
Up to March 1776, town meetings were called in the name of "His Majesty", but in May the call was -- "In observance of the Colony Writ." In June it read, "By resolve of the General Court." May 24 A.D. 1776, "Voted unanimously for Independency". June 24, 1776, "Voted to abate the Highway Rates of those Soldiers in the Continental Service." May 23, 1777, "Voted give each man that shall Inlist into Continental Army and passes muster, twenty Pounds to the number of twenty-five men." June 26, 1778, "Voted to Raise 420 pounds to pay the Con- tinantal Soldiers that are hired for the Term of nine months." May 17, 1779, "Voted for a New form of Government."
June 25, 1779, "Voted to give each man that shall Enlist into the Continental Ser- vice for the Term of Nine months from the
Time they land at Springfield twelve pounds bounty to be paid in grain while at four Shillings pr Beuchell, Rye at three Shilling pr Beuchell, and Indian Corn at two Shill- ings pr Beuchell, and forty Shillings pr month to be paid at the same Rate as above mentioned in grain. The soldier is to have the Continantal Wages which is forty Shill- ing pr month, and the Town to have the States Bounty which is sixty pounds for each man. One half of the above mentioned grain is to be paid by the first of January next, the other half is to be paid when their Times are out."
Aug. 17, 1779, "Voted Major Reuben Munn a Delegate to meet the Delegates from the Several Towns in this State for the Sole Porpose of forming a Constitution or form of government said Convention to be holden at Cambridge on September 1, 1779."
June 20, 1780, "Voted that Six months men be hired upon the Town Cost. Voted that the Committee also hire 13 miletia men for three months upon the Same Futting of the Six months men. Voted to give the Six months men twenty pounds as a hire on their producing a sertificate they have Don the Service and the Soldier to be account- able to the Town for his Wages - the Twen- ty pound Stated on Whete at four Shillings pr Bushel, Rye at three Shillings, Indian Corn at two Shillings pr Bushel, or the Valliue theirof in money to become Due, When their time of Service is out."
Oct. 16, 1780, "Voted Mr. Noah Sabin, Mr. Samuel Hoar and Luit Simeon Keep to be a committee to Procuer 5180 lbs. of Beaf for the Continantal Army. Voted to Draw the money to pay for the Beef out of the 40,000 pounds Rate which is assessed to pay the Soldiers the Present Year."
Jan. 4, 1781, "Voted Mr. Samuel Mechom, Mr. Joseph Holm to be Committee to Provide the beef alloted to this Town."
Dec. 21, 1780, "Voted Mr. Elijah Chandler, Mr. Stephen Hatch, Deacon Abel Goodell, Mr. Asa White, Jose Merrick, Mr. Colomon Rood, Mr. William King, Mr. David Shaw, Mr. Freeborn Molton, Mr. Joseph Butler be a committee to hire the Continan- tal men for this Town."
July 30, 1781, "Voted to give the Eight three months men four Pounds per month for the time they are in Actual Service Includ- ing A Reasonable time for them to march to and from Camp. The Town to be Intitled to their wages and the Soldier to furnish the Town with an order to Draw them."

HISTORY OF MONSON
The book committee of the Monson His- torical Society screened the fifteen volumes of The Men Who Served in the American Revolution. The following is a list of men whose addresses were given as Monson .. James Dorman, soldier of Burgoyne's Army is buried at Moulton Hill. Tradition has it - "Dorman was forced into the
British Army while at school in England. He was one of those deserting while on the way to Boston for deportation after Bur- goyne's defeat at Saratoga. He hid, and spent his life near Moulton Hill.
The Town can well be proud of so many loyal citizens who fought to give us our heritage of Liberty.
