Samuel G. Reed commenced carriage making in North Brookfield, June 30, 1830. Cary & Rice bought the land on which the shop was built, at the corner of the streets by the burying-ground, purchasing at the same time all the land west in the same lot bounded by three roads and Col. Adams' mowing lot, on the west, being about ten acres, for $1,000. There were no buildings on the whole lot, except Cary & Rice's store at the south-east corner. The shop built in 1830 was the first build- ing raised in town without liquor. And the marriage of Fannie L. Tilton at Boylston, 1832, was the first wedding without something stronger than coffee as appears by church records at Boylston. In his communication, Mr. Reed further says : " The first Temperance Society was formed in 1830 or 1831, joined by most of the young men, followed by a great revival. If I mistake not, the stoves were first placed in the Meeting-House 1830, or 1831 (1833, C. A., jr), as I recollect Mr. Chauncy Edmands stating that our feet would be colder than before, etc. When I came to N. B., in 1830, Ezra Batcheller's and Wid. Potter's houses were the only new dwellings in sight. The Whitney Kittridge house was soon raised, and very many were begun in 1831-1833. I commenced building my brick house 1832 (it stood on site of the hotel), and sold it to John C. Potter in 1835 or 1836, and the shops to Freeman Walker in 1835. Bought of Daniel Gilbert, Esq., the lot on which M. T. Reed's houses stand, in 1836, and built the shop the same year, and the house of M. T. Reed in 1837. I recollect Esquire Gilbert said he remembered the rebel Shay laying the single wall that was upon the west side of the road from the burying-ground to Dr. Snell's, for his father. My shop of 1835 was the first build- ing on the lot that extended beyond Charles Duncan's, except the brick store might have been built " (corner of South Main and Summer Streets).
