CHAPTER IX REHOBOTH ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY
IN calling upon the families of his parish, Rev. Geo. H. Tilton, pastor of the Congregational Church, was impressed with the num- ber of old relics he saw in their homes, and on the second day of January, 1884, seeing an old loom at Mr. Geo. N. Goff's, he said to Mrs. Goff, "We must have an Antiquarian Society." He at once began to raise money for a building in shares of ten dollars each. On reaching $1,500, Mr. Darius Goff of Pawtucket was appealed to and promised a like amount while suggesting further effort. Thus encouraged, Mr. Tilton brought the pledges up to $4,000, which Mr. Goff promptly duplicated.
The first meeting of the stockholders was held in the vestry of the Congregational Church, March 5, 1884, when the following communication from Mr. Goff was presented and accepted :-
"If the inhabitants of the town will increase their subscription up to four thousand dollars, I will raise mine up to the same amount, and in addition, give one acre of land to erect the build- ing thereon, the location of which shall be the old homestead of my father, and a further condition that five gentlemen shall be elected as trustees, one for five years, one for four years, one for three years, one for two years, and one for one year, who, with the president and secretary of the society shall erect said building and have the whole care and management of the property. After one year, one trustee shall be elected annually; and furthermore, I reserve the right to name three of the five trustees, and also to approve the plan of the building. At least three thousand dollars of the four thousand subscribed outside of mine, shall be paid into the treasury before I am called upon. When that is done I shall be ready to pay mine in full. This offer will hold good for sixty days from date."
At this meeting the following officers were elected: President, Rev. George H. Tilton; Vice-Presidents, Esek H. Pierce and Fran- cis A. Bliss; Secretary, Wm. H. Marvel; Corresponding Secre- tary, Rev. Geo. H. Tilton; Treasurer, Wm. W. Blanding; Trus- tees: for five years, George N. Goff, four years, Esek H. Pierce,

three years, Paschal E. Wilmarth, two years, Charles Perry, one year, George H. Horton,-the last three named by Mr. Goff. By the constitution, the President and Secretary are made trustees ex-officio, thus making the whole board of trustees to consist of seven persons.
This society was incorporated in 1885, the capital stock not to exceed $250,000, to be divided into shares of ten dollars each.
CR BUTTON
THE OLD GOFF INN
It was decided to have a building suitable for an antiquarian room, hall, school-room and library.
Late in March Mr. Tilton wrote to Hon. Thomas W. Bicknell of Boston, informing him that a building would be erected with room for a library and inviting his co-operation.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bicknell became deeply interested in the undertaking and wrote in part as follows :-
"We believe that a good library is one of the most valuable means of education. In order, therefore, to encourage the forma- tion of a library to be kept in the Goff Memorial, we will donate five hundred dollars to the trustees of the Rehoboth Antiquarian
236
HISTORY OF REHOBOTH
Society, to be expended by them in the selection of good books, a large portion of which, let us suggest, shall be chosen with special reference to the wants of the boys and girls, the young people of the town. We sincerely hope that others may contribute more or less freely to this nucleus of a library, and that the annual supply of books shall keep it fresh and interesting to all readers, so that the gifts may be a constantly increasing blessing to all who may enjoy their benefits.
"We have but one request to make in connection with our humble gift, which we leave for your consideration and decision. The name of Blanding is one of the oldest and most respectable of this ancient town. William Blanding was a contributor to the expenses incurred in carrying on the war with King Philip of Pokanoket, and for more than two hundred years the name of the family and the town have been associated.
"In view of these facts, and that the name may be kept fresh in the minds of the future dwellers of Rehoboth, yet more especially for the loving affection we have for the character and memory of our beloved parents, Christopher and Chloe Blanding, whose dust sleeps with that of the long line of their kindred in the old church burial ground on the hill west of Rehoboth Village, we most respectfully suggest that the permanent name of the library shall be The Blanding Public Library of Rehoboth, Mass."
This generous offer was gratefully accepted by the Society and the Blanding Library was opened to the public Feb. 26, 1886, with about six hundred and twenty-five volumes.
On the spot selected by Mr. Goff as the site of the new structure, the Old Goff Inn was still standing. Here Mr. Goff was born and the land upon which it stood had been in the Goff family for a century and a half. The picture of the old inn on another page shows that additions had been made to the original house, which was one of the noted hostelries of colonial days. It was torn down, not without regret, in April, 1884, and in May ground was broken for the new structure. Owing to certain legal diffi- culties the work was delayed until fall, when the cellar was con- structed.
The contract was signed Sept. 8, 1884, by Lewis T. Hoar's Sons of Warren, R.I., and by the committee on contract, G. N. Goff, Charles Perry and Esek H. Pierce. The architects were

William R. Walker & Son, of Providence. The chief dimensions of the building were 38} ft. by 60} ft. On the first floor were the school-room, library, and antiquarian room. The second floor consisted of the hall which was amply lighted, and very at- tractive.
On its walls were hung portraits of Darius Goff, Rev. Geo. H. Tilton and others.
The building was practically finished in the fall of 1885, having cost $14,000. On the front of the tower was a bronze tablet which bore the inscription,
"GOFF MEMORIAL, 1884."
The school-room was opened for a public school in the autumn of 1885, and was so used for two terms. Afterwards a private school was taught for several terms.
The antiquarian room in the northeast corner was large and attractive. Much time and labor were expended on this depart- ment, especially by the President, Rev. Geo. H. Tilton, who went from house to house soliciting and collecting the relics. The Secretary, Wm. H. Marvel, and the custodian, Wm. H. Luther (who was also librarian), were effective helpers. Many of the cit- izens took a deep interest in the growing collection. Only a few of the articles donated can here be mentioned for lack of space, although others may be equally deserving.

On the left is the flax as it is grown and cured; next comes the "break" with a handful of flax between its ponderous jaws; the upright board is the "swingling board," with the "swingling knife" leaning against it, and the flax hanging submissively over the top; next we see the beaten flax on the box which supports the "hatchel," through whose comb-like rows of teeth the flax is drawn to rid it of all its "shives"; then it goes to the "distaff" on the "little wheel" and is spun into linen thread.
The three implements on the right illustrate the spinning of wool. The wool is first taken between the "cards" lying on the floor, just under the "big wheel," with a roll of wool hanging over them; when carded into these rolls the wool goes to the "big wheel," where it is spun, and wound off as yarn on the "reel" at the extreme right.
An exhibition was given at Memorial Hall, April 23, 1886, illustrating the process of spinning flax and wool by hand. All the machines representing the flax industry were in operation together under the direction of Mr. Abiah Bliss, aged eighty-six years. Capt. George W. Bliss manned the flax brake, and in spite of his seventy-seven years wielded the ponderous implement with deafening and crushing effect. Mr. Baylies Goff, eighty- seven, handled the swingling knife effectively and sent the "shives" flying in all directions. Mrs. Hannah Darling sat by the hatchel and, by drawing the flax through its parallel rows of comb-like teeth, straightened the fibers for the distaff. Mrs. Abby W. Car- penter, another octogenarian, skilfully spun the flax from the dis- taff upon the linen wheel and produced quite a skein of linen thread. The spinning of yarn from wool was illustrated by Mrs. Eliza Goff and Mr. Leonard Peterson. Mr. Peterson carded the wool into rolls, and Mrs. Goff spun it into yarn on the big wheel

and wound it off on the reel. Meanwhile Mr. Abiah Bliss ex- plained the various steps in handling both flax and wool and passed samples among the audience for souvenirs.
We give below the names of all who up to the time of dedicating the hall contributed money to the enterprise. Most of these re- ceived shares in the stock which gave them the privilege of voting on all matters relating to the society, one vote being allowed for each ten-dollar share. A few preferred to give their money out- right, and whether they took stock or not, or whether their con- tributions were large or small, they are given an equal and im- partial recognition in the appended
