stone and concrete, is the second silo ever built in this country. The square corners, however, were the ruination of it as a silo. This permitted the air to go down the corners and spoil the ensilage.


Back on the hill above the Case house is another of those old places of post-Revolutionary fame. It was the old Hayward place and for long years after the Civil War period was owned and occupied by George Washington Hayward. Our information is not complete in this case, so we are not able to say just when or by whom it was built. It, however, bears the marks of age. More recently it has come into the possession of Mr. James Milin and has been enlarged and made quite comfortable.


Off to the right on Park Street, as one travels from the center of the town towards the main highway, there is an old yellow house set back in the field. Here for many years lived the Buxtons. During the Revolu- tionary days Ebenezer Buxton spent eight months of the year 1775 doing guard duty at Cambridge. This same Ebenezer, in 1785, bought thirty-one acres of land for 152 pounds and eight shillings. Then he proceeded to lay the foundations for a new house. In digging the cellar he found a large boulder just where the foundation for the chimney should be. Not to be outwitted he built the chimney on the boulder even though, by so doing, he divided the cellar. The house is the usual style facing South with the sloping roof towards the North. The fireplaces are blocked, but there are still some of the old "H" hinges on the doors. During the days of the shoe business one of the upstairs rooms was fitted out as a workroom. The place has long since passed into other hands and is now owned by Mr. Joseph VanLaethem who is in the poultry business.


Also there were Batchelders in the old North Parish. Their ancestral home was on Concord Street. Here Jonathan Batchelder, as well as Jona- than, Jr., and Jonathan 3rd lived. The old house was burned a few years hence. The first Jonathan Batchelder came within the bounds of the Parish in 1756, and Jonathan, Jr., was among the fourteen who went with the first draft for services in New York in 1776. In the days following the Revolution one of the Batchelders came further north and built a house on what is now Lowell Road, but then it was the highway leading from Salem to Lowell. The house still stands just opposite to the entrance to the State Sanatorium and is owned by the state. It was well built. The timbers in the attic were well fitted and pinned together. They bear the marks of that up and down saw, run by water power so common in an earlier day. Doubtless they were done at the Sheldon mill at Pudding Point. The boards on the roof and floor are sawed from some of the old mammoth pines which stood at one time in all the surrounding territory. On the cement of the chimney is scratched the date 1843, which is doubt- less the date when some repairs were made, for plainly the house was built before 1800. It was long the home of Lyman Batchelder.

Down near the Reading-North Reading line, bordering on Bear Meadow, stands the J. Milton Robinson house. It is now owned by Mr. C. Earl Watson. It still has the old fireplaces without any central heating system. It was at one time one of the old style houses facing South, but through the years it has been altered so that externally it does not bear many traces of its early origin. The large chimney is not in the center of the roof, but that is due to alterations of some years ago. It was formerly

THE C. EARL WATSON HOUSE (Or the Old Webster Nichols Place)


owned by Webster Nichols, whose daughter married Mr. Robinson. Our records concerning the origin of the house are still incomplete. In the Registry of Deeds there is this entry for 1795. Jeremiah Nichols for 22 pounds bought seven and one-quarter acres of Bear Meadow swamp from William Whitteredge. This was doubtless by way of adding to the prop- erty already owned and occupied.


The old poor farm, now owned by Miss Mary Heffron, was purchased by the town in 1805, when Wakefield, Reading and North Reading were separate parishes in the one town of Reading. Hesekiah Flint was the former owner. There was, by the way, a Hesekiah Flint who served in the Revolutionary army at Cambridge for two months in 1776. Since he first appears on the tax list for 1769 he was a comparatively young man at the time the war started. This must have been the man who sold his farm for


[ 103 ]


$5,000 in 1805. As for the time of the erection of the house, we are reason- ably certain that it was just before or just after the beginning of the new century. Tradition has it that it was built by David Damon, the same who built the Whitcom Tavern. In that case it was built just after the turn of the century. It is a well-built house with two chimneys instead of one and during the years it was used as a poor farm and had a spacious up-stairs hall or assembly room, where the old time Dancing Academy held its sessions. Here some of our ancestors danced the quadrille, the two- step and the polka.


In 1713 Sergeant George Flint built for his son, George, Jr., a house in that part of the Parish called Pudding Point. Here the groom brought his bride, the fair Jerusha Pope. Here also were born many generations of Flints. The old house with one of those long barns connected, stood just across the street from where the Daniel Shay house now stands. Along with the establishment there was a slaughter house, one of the earliest ones in the town. Then along about the time when Hesekiah Flint was


THE DANIEL SHAY HOUSE (Formerly the Flint Place, on Park Street West)


having his house built, the west end Flints built a rather pretentious house just across from the old one. It had two chimneys with a wide hallway in the center, with a long, graceful stairway leading to the upper hall and chambers.


[ 104 ]


There are two or three items in connection with this house worth re- membering. In the earlier days the secret societies were not so well organ- ized, nor possessed with the wealth that they have today. They met as circumstances permitted, usually in some private home. This new Flint home with its spacious upstairs room made an ideal place for a Lodge of Masons. So, during the early part of the century, during the war of 1812, the Flint home resounded with the blows of the gavel in the hand of the Grand Master. Then during the Civil War this same house became an ammunition depot. But by far the most distinctive feature of the place is the mural paintings, in the hall and in one of the front rooms. It is presumed that the wandering painter, Rufus Porter of Boxford, visited North Parish, sometime in the 1840's. It is probable that the artist had made use of his mechanical genius and used a stencil, for some of the build- ings show a regularity of order and some of the shrubbery is plainly trop-

ical. The same artist also left paintings in one of the upper rooms of the Van Heusen Farms Colony on Main Street, the old Batchelder home. There is also another sample of the same kind of work in the Whitcom Tavern. In the Flint house as well as in the Batchelder house, later occupants be- came tired of the artist's work and covered it over with many layers of paper. Now the paper has been removed, and when A. G. Barnham owned


[105 ]


the Flint property, a daughter spent much time in touching up Mr. Porter's work. Now the murals are in a good state of preservation and seem good for many years.


Just below the Flint house was the old West End School house which is now the garage at the corner of Main and Park Streets. Nearby is the old home of Lester Batchelder. The basement of this house was once a wheel-right's place where wagons were made and repaired, and oxen shod. It was only recently that the shop was dismantled.


There were also the old-time taverns. The Barnard House, on the main road from Boston to Andover and Lawrence has long since gone. The old Sheldon Tavern, built in Revolutionary days, still stands, as a monument to those stirring days when ladies in panniers and gentlemen in short trousers with hose, dismounted for dinner while the hostler changed the horses for the remainder of the trip. The building is now a two-apartment house owned by Mr. and Mrs. William Doten.


At the center of the town, David Damon, in 1812, built a much larger tavern with the idea of catching the trade going north as well as that going


1


THE OLD PARSONAGE (One of the first "Georgian" type houses in town)


to Lowell. There must have been great times in this old tavern, for it was after the time of the Puritan curfew and in the days when gin and rum flowed freely. But one is permitted to doubt whether those old timers had a larger capacity than some of our moderns. A look at our modern counter-


[106]


part of the old tavern only increases the doubt. For a time the Damon Tavern flourished and was the chief center of interest for the residents of the area. Here the first Post Office was located when it came into existence in 1830, and David Damon was the first postmaster.


Where the Flint Memorial Hall now stands were the barns for the tavern. Just over Park Street was the home and office of old Doctor J. Goodwin. In 1822 he sold out to a new-comer, Dr. David A. Grosvenor, who made a wonderful healing ointment out of pumkin seeds and checker- berries. He it was who built the house that was later the property of J. B. MacLean. The old house was considerably altered by its new owner, but it still serves as a reminder of the days of the family doctor.


At about the time when David Damon was building the Tavern, the Minister, Eliab Stone, was inspired to build a new house. It was on the bank overlooking the Church and was Georgian in type. The square- roofed house was then becoming prominent, so in order to be up to date the minister erected one of those buildings with a square roof, a wide, central hallway and a chimney on either side of the house. There was in the kitchen one of the bake ovens beside the fireplace, for the iron kitch- en stove had not yet come into being. This house later came into the pos- session of the Congregational Church, but a few years ago it was sold. Now it has been renovated and is a perfectly delightful dwelling house.


THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB (Originally the Holt House, built near the beginning of the 19th century)


[ 107 ]


Up on North Street lived Benjamin Holt. It was he who made money raising hops and catching wild pigeons, and owned a thousand acres of land, more or less, in that section of the town. He, too, was inspired to build one of those Georgian houses. It was a delightful place with broad acres for farming just below. Now the house and farm is the property of the Red Hill Country Club, and is greatly different from what it was in the days when the wild pigeons were so numerous that they darkened the sun when they flew over.


Just beyond the postoffice, setting back from the street, is the Abbott house. It was built about the year 1816, by Ebenezer Abbott, and was for long years the home of Sumner Abbott. It is now owned and occupied by Mrs. Gertrude Upton Eaton.


There is also, belonging to the early years of the century the Beck house which was once a show place, and there are still other old houses of the less pretentious type. Some of them may date back to the period of the Revolution, but as they were easy to move or alter there is not so much chance of tracing their history. For that reason this list must remain somewhat incomplete. The ones given, above, serve to give a picture of the days when North Reading was only a Parish in the Town of Reading.


From all these old homes there have gone out men and women to make their way in the world. All of them have made their contribution and some of them came to prominence in various ways. Many teachers have gone forth, whose influence has been far reaching. One of these, Professor Emerson, a son of Deacon Emerson of the Baptist Church, became Super- intendent of the Public Schools in Buffalo, New York. There were min- isters also who went out from the local churches. Among these was one of the sons of the second minister. Eliab Stone. Rev. Micha Stone was ordained and installed as minister of the church in Brookfield in 1801, and served acceptably for many years. By far the most famous of the ministers having North Parish as their home was the Rev. Timothy Flint. He graduated from Harvard College at the age of twenty and became the minister at Lunenburg. The settled life of the minister, however, was not for him. Soon he gave up his pastorate and became a missionary in and about St. Louis, Missouri. It was while there that he began to devote time to writing. He wrote, "Recollections of Ten Years Passed in the Valley of the Mississippi" which became a best seller. Then there was Francis Berian and Shoshonne Valley. He was a smooth, fluent writer and com- pares favorably with Nathaniel Hawthorne and Washington Irving, his contemporaries.


There have also been those who have become physicians, such as Daniel Putnam, Martin Herrick, David A. Grosvenor, and Reuben F. Eaton. Dr. Eaton was for some years located in Foxboro, where he was


[ 108 ]


not only active as a physician but also in town affairs. He last practiced in Providence, R. 1. At his death his body was brought home for burial in the Riverside Cemetery.


Another of the famous sons of North Reading was George F. Root. He was really born in Sheffield, but his mother was a Flint from the North Parish, the daughter of Col. Daniel Flint, a deacon of the church and he was brought up in Willow Lane, now owned by the Eisenhaures. It was Dr. Root who built the old house in 1853. As a boy he was interested in music and embraced every opportunity for learning how to play and sing. At the age of thirteen he said he could play as many instruments as he was years old. He had real musical genius and could write both sacred and secular songs. Among his hymns are "Ring the Bells of Heaven," "Jewels" and "Come to the Savior." As for his secular songs he was the real inspira- tion of the Union Armies as they faced the Confederate Armies. "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," "The Battle Cry of Freedom," "Just Before the Battle Mother," and "Brother Tell Me of the Battle" were sung and resung by the army in all kinds of wind and weather. A Confederate officer later remarked that if they had had our songs they could have won the war.


Dr. Root's genius was expressed in another way. He seems to have had a real talent for imparting music to others. His musical academy was nationally famous. Assisted by Lowell Mason, he held his music school for four summers in the old third meeting house. People from all over the country attended. The school was visited by people such as Henry Ward Beecher, Harriett Beecher Stowe, and Julia Ward Howe. Then the insti- tute was moved to Chicago, where Dr. Root remained for some years. When he died in 1895, his body was brought home for burial in Harmony Vale Cemetery, and the world goes on singing. "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," and "When He Cometh to Make Up His Kingdom."


There were also those who came to prominence in business and the professions. If there were time a great number of these might be men- tioned, but we will confine ourselves to the more conspicuous examples. Thomas Norton Heart was born June 29, 1829. in the house that was re- cently burned and located near the Nehemiah Case home. That is, it was at this place, if the best available information can be trusted. He was descended from one of the oldest of the New England families. What formal education he had was received in the local schools. At an early age he went to Boston seeking employment. At first he was a clerk in the Philip A. Lock and Co., merchants. He progressed so well that in 1860 he organized the firm of Hart Taylor and Co., dealing in hats, caps and furs.


Mr. Heart progressed so well that he was able to retire in 1878 and devote most of his time to politics. In 1886 he was the Republican candi-


[ 109 ]


date for mayor of the city of Boston. According to his own statement his platform for the campaign was: "I pledge myself, if elected mayor of Bos- ton, to administer its affairs faithfully, honestly, according to law, for the benefit of the whole people." This pledge was later carried out. He re- duced city expenses, put the newly-formed street car company under bond, and gave special attention to the school buildings and the school system. Unsolicited, he was appointed by President Harrison, postmaster of the city of Boston in 1891.


On Haverhill Street, in the Major Flint house which was originally built as a tavern and in 1872 purchased by Alanson Upton, was born Frank Flint. At an early age, he, with his parents, moved to California. This son of North Reading seems to have had the stuff that it takes to make a successful career. After receiving an education he entered politics and became nationally known as the senator from California. During his years in the United States Senate he took a prominent part in sponsoring much helpful legislation.


Of the more recent residents, North Reading takes particular pride in Clifton E. Mack. While he was not born in the town, he received his education in the local schools and is regarded as North Reading's own. He was in the first World War, and then procceded to secure an education in law at the Northeastern University School of Law. After graduation he was employed in the Internal Revenue Department of the National Govern- ment, in the income tax division. Since World War II started, he has been head of the Procurement Division of the National Government, under the Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau.
