There were, in 1878, five school districts in the town, with the same number of schools. The average attendance at all the schools was 85, and the amount expended for their support in 1877 was-$868.

INDUSTRIES.

Agawam River, which flows through Russell, furnishes ad- mirable water-power at this point, but it is utilized by only two manufacturing establishments, which are, however, models of their kind, and enterprises, moreover, of considerable magni- tude. One of these is the Jessup & Laflin Paper Company, whose mills are located two miles southeast of the village of Russell, at Salmon Falls. The buildings, which are very ex- tensive, are constructed of brick, and appointed with the most valuable and improved machinery required in the making of fine paper, to the production of which these mills are devoted. A capital of upward of $250,000 is invested in the enterprise, and paper to the value of about $175,000 is produced annually. About 100 men and women are employed, and these are for the most part provided with homes in a large boarding-house erected by the company near the mills.

The Chapin and Gould paper-mills are located about two

miles northwest of Russell village, and are likewise engaged in the manufacture of fine paper. . About 100 persons are em- ployed, and the daily yield of paper is about 4500 pounds. The firm was organized in April, 1858, and began operations in a mill erected upon the present location in that year. This mill was destroyed by fire in 1870, and at once replaced by the present mills, of much larger capacity than the first.

The other manufactures of the town are railway-ties and lumber, but those industries are limited in yield. There are about seventy-five farms in the town, but the agricultural pro- duets are all consumed at home.

The value of manufactures in 1875, according to State re- ports, was $176,600, and of agricultural products, $84,248. The total valuation of the town in 1878 was $398,652, of which $283,041 was in real estate. The total tax-State, county, and town-was $4185.85, or at a rate of .0105. The debt of the town, March 1, 1878, was $7510.

HOLLAND.

GEOGRAPHICAL.

THE town of Holland is situated in the southeast corner of Hampden County. On the north it is bounded by Brimfield, of which it formerly constituted a part. Wales bounds it on the west, and together with it formed the district of South Brimfield in 1762. On the south is located the town of Union, in Connecticut. Sturbridge, in Worcester County, forms its eastern boundary.

NATURAL FEATURES.

The physical characteristics of the town are similar to those of Brimfield and Wales. Numerous small mountains diversify the landscape, their slopes diversified with alternate timber-lots and farming-lands of fairly-productive qualities. The soil is generally sandy, with occasional areas of elayey loam, which yield the cereals readily when properly eulti- vated, and which seem especially adapted to the growth of grass. Rattlesnake Mountain, situated in the western part of the town, near the Wales line, is a prominent landmark. Blodgett or Williams' Mountain lies just north of it, and marks the locality where the earliest settlements were made. Blake 1lill is situated on the northeastern border of the town.

Holland-formerly called Kesioge-Pond is a handsome body of water, located in the northern part, and comprises an area of about 80 acres. Partridge Pond, comprising about 4 aeres, formerly existed just south of the centre of the town, but has now been included in and covered by the Hamilton Reservoir, which was constructed in 1862 by the Hamilton Woolen Company, of Southbridge, who dammed the Quinne- bang River about a mile southeast of Holland Pond. The object in view was to afford a water-supply for the company's mills at Southbridge. It has also been utilized by mills at Fiskdale. It is nearly three miles long, and has an average width of from 60 to 80 rods. The reservoir is said never to have properly fulfilled the purpose designed. Considerable valuable land has been damaged by it, causing much trouble.

The Quinnebang River enters the town at the south, pass- ing through the reservoir and Holland l'ond, and thence north into Brimfield and Sturbridge.

Several small streams traverse various sections of the town, being mostly tributaries to the reservoir.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

Much that relates to the early settlement of the town will be found in the histories of Brimfield and Wales.

Probably the first person who made a settlement in that seetion of Brimfield now included in the town of Holland was Joseph Blodgett, who was one of the original propri- etors of Brimfield, and filled many important town and church offices in that town and the district of South Brimfield. He was a surveyor, and the early records of Brimfield contain many references to his work. He was the father of Jonas Blodgett, who was the last clerk and surveyor of the pro- prietors of Brimfield, and who died in 1839, at the age of ninety-five. He resided in Holland near the Frost place, ad- joining the Wales line.

Blodgett made his residence, as early as 1727, on the South Meadow road, a little south of Calvin Polley's, and near the hill which bears his name. In the division of the lots eon- firmed by the General Court to the original settlers in 1732, Joseph Blodgett drew " Lott 67." His son, Joseph Blodgett, Jr., also lived near Calvin Polley's, and other sons lived in tbat vicinity. Representatives of the Blodgett family have continued to reside in Holland ever since.

Soon after Blodgett made his settlement came Enoch Ilides, John Webber, John Bishop, Robert Brown, Ebenezer Wallis, and Jonathan Brown.

Henry and Trenance Webber settled in Holland about 1730. They were from the State of Rhode Island. Frank Webber, a lad of fourteen, came with them. He remained in Ilolland until he attained the age of twenty-five, when he went to sea and was never afterward heard from, and left no known de- scendants. Reuben and Trenance Webber descended from

HISTORY OF HAMPDEN COUNTY.

IIenry, and made the earliest settlement about the time of the Revolution, on what is known as the " old Webber place," near the present residence of Wm. A. and Dwight E. Webber, who are descended from Reuben.

David Wallis came from Woodstock, Conn., about 1755, and located where William S. Wallis now resides. Tbe tim- bers of the original house which be erected at that place are in the building still standing. It is probably the oldest house in town. David Wallis was a blacksmith by trade, and followed that occupation, together with farming. When in Woodstock, he owned four slaves. One of these, Samuel Deering, he took with him to Holland, and he lived to be one hundred years of age. "Sam" had an excellent idea of the land in Holland, but always complained that the people there did not treat him with proper respect. The sons of David Wallis were Thomas, Jonathan, William, John, and David. Jonathan followed the occupation of a blacksmith. Thomas became a practitioner of medicine, and was one of the early physicians of Holland. William and John engaged in farming.

The son David never came to Holland, but his son David settled there in 1758, when a mere child, grew up with his grandfather, and served in the Revolutionary war. He after- ward engaged in farming, married Pereis Rosbrook on May 8, 1782, and established his residence where Horace Wallis now lives. He had ten children, nine of whom lived to be over sixty-eight years of age. The oldest was eighty-three. Three are now living. Horace Wallis, at the age of eighty-three, still resides in the old homestead, and retains in a remarkable degree his faculties of mind and body. IIis memory of events long passed is wonderful, and we are indebted to him for many interesting particulars relating to the early history of the town. Percis Cutler, a sister, seventy-eight years of age, still resides in Holland. All but one of these children have engaged in school-teaching more or less. David, another of the children, removed to Tioga County, in the State of New York, and was clerk of the courts of that county for nine years. He left a large number of descendants there. The fourth generation of the Wallis family, who are descended from the third David, are now residing on his old homestead.

William S. Wallis, who occupies the original Wallis home- stead, is descended from John Wallis. Ile is engaged in farming, and is a man of prominence in the town.

James Marey came from Woodstock, Conn., about 1767, and located a mile southwest of the present hotel, on a large farm. His children were James, Elisha, Uriah, David, Job, Sarah, and Betsey. Sarah and Job removed to New York State, and Betsey to Woodstock, Conn. James located in the southwest part of the town, and engaged in farming. His son, Loren, resides in the south part of the town, and pursues the same avocation. Elisha, at the advanced age of ninety- six, lives in the west part of the town, about a mile from the centre. Ile resides with his son, Washington, who is a farmer. Uriah lived to be eighty-two, and never married. David Marcy, after building the present hotel, wherein he kept tavern for a number of years, moved about half a mile south, on the Hallowell Perrin farm, and died there in December, 1860, at the age of seventy-three. Ile married Sybil, daughter of Hallowell Perrin, and had three children, -Mary Ann, wife of Elisha Kinney ; Uriah P., who engaged in farming and lumbering, about a mile southwest of the present tavern, and now resides in Stafford, Conn. ; and Melis- cent, who married Horace Kinney, and who also resides at Stafford.

Benjamin Perrin, another of the early settlers of Holland, lived about a mile south of the centre. His sons were John, Cyril, and Ilallowell. John settled at Providence, R. I. Cyril married Iluldah, daughter of Ichabod Goodell, one of the early settlers, and had thirteen children. They afterward removed to Monson. Hallowell Perrin resided a half-mile south of the present tavern. He kept tavern and engaged in

farming. He married Sybil Bruce for his first wife, and had Sybil, Meliseent, Ambrose, and Diuna. Sybil became the wife of David Marcy ; Meliscent married Baxter Wood; Diana married a Dr. Bottom, and resides in South Wilbra- ham, now the town of Hampden. There are no descendants of l'errin now living in Holland.

lehabod Goodell, another early resident of Holland, married a Webber, and had four children, IFuldah, Polley, Percis, and Jabez. The latter, when a young man, went to New York State to teach school. He bought land on the present site of the city of Buffalo for a dollar and a quarter an acre, and be- came very rich. He left the town of Holland $500 in his will.

Eliphalet Janes, the first clerk of the district of Holland, in 1784, resided where Eleazer Moore now lives, near the Fuller factory place. He operated a saw- and grist-mill there in the latter part of the last century, but afterward fell upon the district for support.

William Belknap was early engaged in agricultural pur- suits, and resided where C. B. Drake now does.

Asa David lived east of the reservoir. Ile filled many po- sitions of responsibility in town and church, and taught school a great deal, besides farming. He left town about 1793. Jona- tban Ballard engaged in farming near Dana. Freeland Wal- lis, a brother of Horace Wallis, also occupied this place.

Another early inhabitant was Reuben Stevens, who lived where L. C. Howlett now resides, and engaged in farming and cloth dressing.

Nehemiah May, who was prominent in public affairs in South Brimfield and Holland as early as 1764, was born in Woodstock, Conn., Jan. 31, 1730. lle resided in the south part of the town, within half a mile of the Connecticut line. He served as a captain in the Revolutionary war, and served at New London and Ticonderoga.

Ebenezer Morris had a blacksmith-shop below Capt. May's, whose daughter he married.

Jonathan Cram, a man of prominence and influence in the carly history of the town, also resided in the south part of the town, and engaged in farming.

Joseph Bruce lived where Lewis C. Howlett now resides, and followed farming. He is said to have been eccentric in some things, and to have been a man of great method and systen.

John Polley lived in the west part of the town, near the . Wales line, where he devoted his attention to agriculture.

Gershom Rosebrook lived across the bridge, east of the res- ervoir, and also engaged in farming.

Other residents of Holland, as early as 1760, were Hum- phrey Cram, James Frizell, Edward, Jacob, Benjamin, and Samuel Webber, Jonathan Wallis, John Rosebrook, James and John Anderson, and William and Asa Belknap.

One of the first stores in town was kept by a man named Brown, about 1788, on the spot where Eleazer Moore now re- sides. Early in the present century Alfred Lyon kept a store and tavern near the reservoir-dam, about a quarter of a mile east of the meeting-house, on the old Lyon place. The next store was kept by Isaac Partridge, about half a mile south of the centre of the town, on the Mashapang road. Elisha Kin- ney is the present owner of the premises. Chase & Ward next kept a store, in 1813, in what formerly was the old L on rear of the present tavern. Luther Brown succeeded him as proprietor. Dr. Josiah Converse next kept a store where Frank E. Kinney now resides. Sewell Glazier followed next in the same place. Clement B. Drake kept store there as late as 1848. About 1850, Elisha Kinney had a store in the same place for several years.

In 1847, Willard Weld kept a store in a building which was opposite to where the blacksmith-shop now stands.

Stores were also kept in the old part of the village, near the Fuller factory. Orlando Anderson did business there about 1833, and enjoyed an enviable reputation for honesty and fair-

dealing. Lynn & Co. were his successors in the same place. About 1848, Jonathan Sykes had a store on the opposite side of the road, above the bridge. John Carpenter kept a store there in 1860, which was the last one the town has had.

It appears from the records of the town that David Bugbee kept a tavern as early as 1784, about half a mile west of the present one, where Wm. Lillie now resides. The tavern of Alfred Lyon has already been referred to. Hollowell Perrin also kept one south of the Sybil Marcy place.

In 1812-13, David Marey erected the Holland Hotel, and connnenced the business of inn-keeping, which he pursued for two years. He then disposed of it to John Webber, who kept it for several years. Mr. Bridgham followed next for a time. In 1820 it was kept hy Allen Tiffany. Mr. Harris succeeded for one year. Then Luther Brown, Eldridge G. Fuller, Bax- ter Wood, and a man named Benson followed in turn. In 1836 it passed into the hands of Elisha Kinney, who has kept it continuously since, to the entire satisfaction of the publie. Mr. Kinney also devotes some time to agricultural pursuits.

The earliest road laid out in Holland was in 1731, when the old road to Union and Woodstock, Conn., commonly called the South Meadow road, was established. It passes from Brimfield through portions of Wales and Holland.

The first physician who practiced in Holland was Dr. Thomas Wallis, a native of the town, who practiced there as early as 1786. He continued in practice a great many years, also filling numerous town offices. His first residence was in the south part of the town, but he subsequently occupied the place where William S. Wallis now lives. Dr. Seth Sinith was another practitioner of medicine early in the present century. About 1812, Dr. Ichabod Hyde, Dr. David B. Dean, and Dr. Joshua Richardson were in practice in the town. Dr. Chileab B. Merrick followed, then Dr. Josiah Converse, and finally Dr. Abial Bottom, who was the last regular physician the town has had. Dr. Bottom is at present in practice in South Wil- braham, or Ilampden.

ORGANIZATION.

As early as 1760 a petition was presented to the town of Brimfield from the southeast part of that town, including Holland, part of Wales, and part of Brimfield, to be set off as a distriet. The west line of the district petitioned for was the present town line of Holland. The reason assigned in the petition was the inconvenience of attending meeting on the Sabbath. Though the signers failed in their petition, they began to huld meetings in that part of the district, and to pro- eure preaching they sought assistance from the town. On Nov. 16, 1761, the town of Brimfield " voted to give ye sou- east part of ye town three pounds, ten shillings, to help them Ilire preaching."

Sept. 18, 1762, the distriet of South Brimfield, ineluding Wales and Holland, was set off' by an act of the General Court. This territory remained under one municipal government until July 5, 1783, when, owing to frequent contention between the inhabitants of the east and west parishes, which have been rc- ferred to at length in the history of the town of Wales, the district of Holland was created. The new district was endowed with all the rights and prerogatives of a town, except that of corporate representation in the Legislature. In this respect they were to unite with Wales, which had in the mean time, under a general act of the Legislature, been erected into a town, still retaining the name ef South Brimfield. The name of Holland was bestowed on the new district in honor of Lord Holland, better known as Charles James Fox, an eloquent ad- vocate on the side of the people of this country in the Parlia- mentary contests which preceded the recognition of American Independence. The district of Holland, as set off, constituted the southern portion of the " three-mile addition" which was made to Brimfield in 1714 .*

* See history of Brimfield.

The original warrant under which the organization of the distriet of Brimfield was effected was issued by Abner Morgan, justice of the peace, and directed to Joseph Bruce. The first meeting of the district occurred on July 24, 1783. Joseph Bruce was chosen Moderator, Nehemiah May, Jonas Blodgett, and Alfred Lyon, Seleetmen, and Jonathan Wallis, Treasurer.

In Feb. 18, 1784, a number of inhabitants of Sturbridge were received as citizens of Holland, with full rights, in re- sponse to a petition presented by them to that etfeet. On March 1st of the same year £20 were appropriated for schooling and £60 for the Rev. Wm. Reeves, the first minister. The first road authorized by the distriet, a mere bridle-rond, was also created.

On Sept. 2, 1789, the old antagonism between Holland and Wales manifested itself in the vote of the distriet of Holland to petition the General Conrt to be annexed to Brimfield in the choice of a representative, instead of to South Brimfield. John Brown, Dr. Thomas Wallis, and William Belknap were appointed a committee to prepare such a petition.

On Nov. 5, 1792, the district voted " not to receive the small- pox by inoculation, or any other way, if it can be avoided." Also that " Dr. Thomas Wallis should not receive or suffer any person or persons to come into his house to have the small-pox under any pretense whatever, as the selectmen had forbid him taking in or harboring any person or persons to have the small-pox before this meeting."

The training of the vocal organs of the young was evidently early attended to in Holland, for on Oct. 1, 1794, the distriet voted "to hire a singing-master to instruet the youth in psalmody."

On March 6, 1797, a committee of five was chosen to build a pound on the plain. One had previously been kept by Ed- ward Webber. The new pound was to be located on the northwest corner of the common, was to be 30 feet square, built of chestnut or oak, and to cost £4 15s. It probably stood not far from the site of the present one.

On Jan. 28, 1801, the distriet voted to "raise seventeen dollars to pay Mr. Benjamin reves for teatching asinging schooll this season."

The practice of disposing of the poor by publie auction was early in vogue. On April 6, 1801, it was voted "to set up the Boarding & Clothing & keeping of Ruth Swinnerton for one year, exclusive of Doetring, at the lowist Bidder."

On April 25, 1803, 810 was raised as a bounty for killing erows and blackbirds, ten eents being allowed for a crow, and the same sum for a dozen blackbirds. The recognition by the inhabitants of the proverbial cunning of the crow was thuis early recorded.

For those who performed labor upon the roads of the dis- triet from six to ten cents an hour for a man were the prevail- ing rates for a long time.

May 14, 1808 .- Voted to exchange some of the common with Capt. Church for some of his land, and "to give him $5 to boot, which he agrees to lay out in repairing the meet- ing-house, or to give it to the town for that purpose." On Sept. 9, 1808, the town voted to cause a petition to be framed, similar to that of Boston, against the embargo, and to cause it to be sent to the President.

Jan. 10, 1810, it was voted to give the land belonging to the district which laid north of the pound, exclusive of enough for the pound, together with the land south of the turnpike as far as the road leading to Andrew Webber's house in a westerly direction, to Luther Carter, provided he builds or eauses to be built a house, 30 by 40 feet, for a tavern. On July 11, 1812, it was voted to draft resolutions relative to an alliance with Franee, and a delegate was chosen to attend the convention at Northampton on July 14th to petition the Presi- dent and Congress to avert war and restore peace.

One of the great evils of the day seems to have been elope-

ment, for, on July 13, 1813, John Hinds and wife, Ezekiel Hinds and Mrs. Hill were bid off to John Webber, " to pro- vide for them and use their labor," but the town was "to indemnify him from any inconvenience or trouble that may arise from elopement, Imprisonment, or Debts contracted by them."

In 1821 the district voted strongly against the proposed amendments to the State constitution.

The principal officers of the town have been :
