In March, 1867, the new iron foundry of J. V. Squire was burnt ; and the next year his foundry, built in place of the first, shared the same fate. The loss on both was near $13,000.

HISTORY OF PALMER.
In December, 1868, Palmer steam mill, owned by Henry Scism, and leased by E. Crosby & Co. as a grist mill and flour store, and Commercial block, were consumed by fire, with a loss of $30,000. The occupants of the block were George Gerald, Fox & Holbrook, F. Dodge & Co., Dr. Wm. Holbrook, Geo. Blanchard, J. A. Brak- enridge, A. O. Sweet, F. J. Wassum, H. G. Cross and several families.
The next large fire started in the car house of the N. L. N. R. R. Co., and consumed the house of Mrs. S. W. Smith, the residence of J. B. Shaw, Loomis Bros'. furniture store and the residence of J. S. Loomis. The losses were estimated at $26,350.
The larger part of the new Union depot was destroyed by fire in 1888, which was a serious loss to the railroad companies.
The burning of the cotton mill at Three Rivers in May, 1863, has already been noted. The loss was near $225,000, and the business of the village was, for the time, practically destroyed.
THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF 1852. - An article in the warrant for April 7, 1851, was " To see if the town will authorize some person to collect statistics and publish a pamphlet history of the town for the last century." "Voted, that Rev. Thomas Wilson be a committee to prepare an address on the centennial anniversary of the town in 1852." And at the next March meeting it was voted "that the address be given in the Town House on the 5th of July next."
According to the above vote of the town, the one hundredth an- niversary of its incorporation [as a District] was observed by appro- priate festivities July 5, 1852. In the Palmer Journal of July 10th was the following account : The day was a bright and beau- tiful one, and at an early hour the people began to gather at the Town House at Four Corners, so that by 10 o'clock nearly 2,000 per- sons were assembled. A procession comprising ladies and gentle- men was formed, under the direction of Dr. J. B. Thomas as chief marshall, and escorted by the Belchertown Brass Band to a fine grove a hundred rods distant, where the address was delivered.
Arrived at the grove, the president of the day, John Ward, Esq., called attention to the appointed exercises, viz .: I. Prayer by Rev. Samuel Backus of Brooklyn, N. Y., formerly pastor of the First Congregational Church in Palmer.
II. National Hymn-" Let every heart rejoice and sing."
III. Reading the Declaration of Independence by F. T. Wallace, Esq.
IV. Hymn-" When stern oppression's iron rod."

V. Address by Rev. Thomas Wilson-Subject, The History of the Town of Palmer.
VI. Music by the Band.
VII. Benediction by Rev. J. W. Mowry.
The procession re-formed and marched to the Town House, where a bountiful repast had been provided by Charles D. Foster of the Thorndike Hotel. At the table, Rev. Sylvester Hine in- voked the Divine blessing ; and the company did ample justice to the palatable viands.
The regular toasts were read by F. T. Wallace, Esq.
1. The Day we Celebrate .- May each returning anniversary of the birth of our national liberties find us happy in their enjoyment, and impress us with gratitude to the men of 1776 by whom they were achieved.
2. The President of the United States .- Hon. Millard Fillmore.
3. The American Flag .- The sacred emblem of Liberty: The free sons of Columbia will never suffer it to be disgraced.
" The Star Spangled Banner, O long may it wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
4. The Governor of the Commonwealth .- Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell.
5. The Manufactories of Palmer .- Though the times are hard, they are bound to "go," while Jacob and Joseph grease the wheels. [Referring to Jacob B. Merrick and Joseph Brown, the then agents of the Thorndike and Palmer Manufacturing companies. ]
6. Old Uncle Sam .- The great uncle of all uncles. He settles a dower of Liberty on all his nephews and nieces.
7. The Union of the States .- " The palladium of our national independence ; the guarantee of our national prosperity; and the pledge of our national glory."
8. The Palmer Declaration of Independence, June 17, 1776 .- Though of less consequence to the world than our national declar- ation, it demonstrates to us, with proud satisfaction, that while the people of Palmer were then ignorant of the deliberations of Con- gress, they, in a public meeting, pledged their lives and fortunes under the wisdom of Congress, for National Freedom. [This sentiment was received with three cheers. Historians may make note of the fact, that the citizens of Palmer made a declaration of independence seventeen days before it was declared by the Conti- nental Congress.
9. Uncle Sam's Family-May they be content to hold their thirty- five farms, with all future additions, as tenants in common.
10. The State We Live In-Old Massachusetts-The land of our
352
HISTORY OF PALMER.
Pilgrim Fathers and the spot where the first blood of the Revolu- tion was shed. She stands a monument of American prosperity and independence.
11. The Farmers of Palmer-Though the township was once rep- resented as a " very poor piece of land and the hills high and mean," yet by their industry it has been made to yield abundantly, and their fine, portly figures are evidence that they have enough and some to spare.
12. The House We Dine In-Though located between four vil- lages, it belongs to none of them ; it stands " alone in its glory."
Volunteer toasts were offered by F. T. Wallace, Mrs. Franklin Morgan, Gen. J. A. McElwain of Warsaw, N. Y., Samuel D. Backus of Brooklyn, N. Y., Franklin Morgan, John Ward, Gordon M. Fisk, A. V. Blanchard, J. B. Merrick, Dr. J. B. Thomas, Mrs. A. V. Blanchard and others, and happily responded to by Rev. Thomas Wilson, Rev. Samuel Backus and A. V. Blanchard.
On request of a committee, the address of Rev. Mr. Wilson was published, at the expense of the town. It is a pamphlet of 60 pages. Mr. Wilson says in his preface, "The records of the original proprietors, together with those of the town and the first parish ; and the journals of the Colonial and State Legislatures in the archives of the Commonwealth, have been the principal sources from which the materials have been gathered." It is a valuable summary of facts, and has been of essential service to the author of this history. Many persons were then living whose memory reached back to Revolutionary times, and supplied valuable infor- mation at first hand, which can now be obtained only in this printed pamphlet. This is especially true of matters pertaining to the ministry and churches.
THE CELEBRATION OF JUNE 17, 1886 .- This was intended to more especially commemorate the anniversary of Palmer's Declara- tion of Independence. The services were held in St. Paul's Church, and were presided over by O. P. Allen, Chairman of the Historical Committee of the town. An original hymn, written for the occasion by Rev. G. V. Moxham of Monson, was sung by the choir and congregation. Dr. W. H. Stowe read the Palmer Decla- ration, prefacing the reading by telling how the original paper dis- appeared a few years ago, with so many other valuable documents, at the time when a quantity of old records of this description was wantonly dumped out of the Town House as so much rubbish. By a happy accident, the Declaration was traced to Schofield, Utah, where it was found and only recently recovered.

Mrs. Emma W. French sang the "Star Spangled Banner." The address was delivered by W. C. Greene and was a scholarly produc- tion, rehearsing the doings of the carly settlers as to civil, religious and educational matters, and more particularly the town's action in the times of the Revolution.
Dea. William Hyde responded to the sentiment, "Ware, the Daughter of Palmer," criticising in a pleasant way the assumption of the toast, for, as he understood the facts, the "daughter " was older than the "mother." S. S. Taft, Esq., in a brief speech, characterized the "town meeting " as the model form of adminis- tration and safeguard of the State Government.
