On the Putnam Hill Road, across from the Lindberg house, is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anson I. Davis and family.
In 1876 this property belonged to John Bennett, who lived here with his wife Hulda and son Charles. Charles married Emma Chase of Douglas in 1886. Mrs. John Bennett died in 1904. Three years later, in 1907, the buildings were struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Mr. Bennett left to live with his son in East Douglas where he died. Charles Bennett sold the place to William Boulster in 1915.
Mr. Boulster's daughter, Mary Ann Bernice, was married in 1918 to Anson I. Davis. Soon after their marriage Mr. Davis built a house on the cellar hole of the Bennett dwelling, which became the home of the Davis family. Their chil- dren are: Mabel Bernice, born in 1918, who was married in 1942 to Roland Dufresne; Anson, born in 1920, married Dorothy White in 1942; Florence Violet, born in 1922, married Spencer Scully in 1942; Colby, born in 1923; Robert Franklin, born in 1925, married Evelyn Jones in 1944 and was divorced in 1947, a son Robert F. Jr. born to them in 1944; Alanson Leonard, born in 1927; Lester, in 1929; Thelma May, 1930; Roger, 1939 and Norman Francis, 1942, who died in 1944.
Anson Jr. is a veteran of World War II; served as Corporal in the Air Force Ground Crew, from Apr. 1942 to Dec. 1946, Alanson served in the Army of Occupation, stationed in Germany from Sept. 1945 to Jan. 1947.
The old Boulster house, farther along the road, was burned some years ago; not far from the site, a grandson is erecting a house. Here formerly lived Eliza Ann (Donaldson) Boulster and her husband, Ransom C. Boulster. Their son, William Robert, was born here in 1859. Mrs. Boulster died in 1922, at the age of 82, her husband in 1908, at the age of 81.
William Boulster was married in 1900 to Mabel Frances Brastow. A daughter, Mary Ann Bernice, was born in Dec. 21, 1900. Mrs. Boulster died in 1902. William Boulster lived on the old homestead most of his life. He served as assessor in the town for twenty years. He died in 1949 at the age of 89 years.
Going down Bennett lane from Putnam Hill Road, we come to the old George Bennett home. Here, too, lived Edwin Bennett, his wife and two daughters, Edith and Edwina, wife of Chester Roaf of Manchaug. Upon Mr. Bennett's death in 1931, the place was sold to S. Kralski and then to a Mr. Dawson. The barn was struck by lightning in 1936 and destroyed at the same time as the barn of Wendell Jones. Walter Schuster, Sr., on his way home from Millbury to East Douglas, observed this flash of lightning, which divided; the right branch to the Jones' barn and the other to Bennett's-both buildings instantly in flames.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Martell purchased the property in 1944. He held a position as maintenance man but also did some farming and kept a few cows on

the place. He remodeled the house and built a barn. There were three daughters: Marjorie Lucille, a graduate of Mary Washington College, who married Albert Bolius, Jr. and lives in Biloxi, Mississippi; Norma, a graduate of Boston Uni- versity, College of Physical Education, married to Nelse Petermann of Meeteetse, Wyoming, and Irene, attending college in Mississippi. In 1950 Mr. and Mrs. Martell, after visiting their daughters, went to live in California.
Arthur C. Martell served in World War I; saw service overseas and was in the Tank Corps as a Staff Sergeant.
Returning to the Putnam Hill Road and proceeding south, we come to the home of Mrs. Julia Fedorczuk. This was formerly the old Wilcox place, sold by the Wilcox estate to Lewis Lebeau. In 1898 it was purchased by Charles Marchand, in 1914 by Albin Adams and in Aug. 1920 by Fred and Julia Fedorczuk.
Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Fedorczuk at this home; Edward, June 11, 1921, Helen, Apr. 18, 1923, Frank, May 23, 1924, Henry, Nov. 4, 1925, Jennie, June 1, 1927 and Michael, Aug. 19, 1931. Mrs. Fedorczuk has five chil- dren by a former marriage; a son, Stanley Mitchell, and four daughters, now married, Mary Mitchell Tokary, Rose Mitchell Rumonoski, Alice Mitchell Knych and Albina Mitchell Berkowicz. Mr. Fedorczuk had a large dairy farm. In 1928 a newly constructed barn was burned and rebuilt the next year. Mr. Fedorczuk died in 1935. His wife continues to operate the dairy and the milk route.
Stanley Mitchell, Frank Fedorczuk and Henry Fedorczuk are veterans of World War II. Michael is in the U. S. Navy.
In 1876, the house on Keith Lane in the hollow, known as the Andrew Keith place, belonged to Waldo and Mary (Sibley) Putnam. They sold the farm to Jethro B. Root, who, in turn, sold to Mary (Putnam) and George Andrew Keith. During Waldo Putnam's residence, two grandsons made their home here, Willis Putnam and Charles S. Putnam of Worcester, both deceased.
Mr. and Mrs. G. Andrew Keith had seven children. Wendell, born when they resided on the Hall Putnam place, is married and lives in Douglas. Millie and Mamie, twins, were born when they lived at the West Sutton Hotel; Millie married Thomas A. Roussel and resided in Auburn; Mamie married Ford L. Putnam and lived in West Sutton until her death in 1931. Lucy was born on this farm, as were all the younger children. She married first, Fred Bodge, and resided in North Grafton; Mr. Bodge died and later she married Malcolm Bliss of North Grafton. Carrie, who married Edward L. Miller of Worcester, lived in that city. They returned to live at the Sumner Putnam place where Mrs. Miller died in 1937. Wallace, who served in World War I, married Grace Velton of Medford and now resides in Boylston. George E. married Hannah Phair of Limestone, Maine.
The youngest child George remained at home. His three children were born here: Virginia, who died in infancy, George E., born in Oct. 1920 and Barbara, born in Oct. 1921.
Mr. and Mrs. G. Andrew Keith moved to the Sumner Putnam place in 1924. This had been in their possession for some time and had been rented. They remodeled the house and improved the grounds.
The old Waldo Putnam farm then came into the possession of Arthur E. King after having been owned and occupied by members of the same family for
142
HISTORY of SUTTON
eleven generations. Mr. King sold in 1948 to George S. Marsh, Jr. and S. Franklin Marsh. In 1951 the farm became the property of Walter Klewiec.
Going up the hill on Mendon Road, past Pigeon Hill Cemetery, you come to the Jones farm on the left. Mrs. Nancy Jones inherited this place from her father, J. Hall Putnam. She and Joseph Jones had eleven children: Louella (Keigwin), Ida (Prentice), Stella, William, Walter, Scott B., Emma, Adeline, Edelbro, Frank and Eugene, who was drowned in Manchaug pond. Nancy Jones died in 1884; her husband in 1890.
Scott B. Jones bought the farm in 1890 and went there to live. He was twice married; first to Clara Mayetta Taber of Medfield. They had two sons, Wendell P. of Millbury and Chester S. who died in 1914. For his second marriage he wed Mrs. Jessie Barrus. They had two sons, Taber Putnam, born in 1907 and Edward Roger, who died in infancy. Taber is married and resides in California.
Mr. Jones was an energetic farmer and maintained a large dairy, at times having 60 head of cattle. He raised vegetables and some fruit for the Whitins- ville market.
In 1920 Mr. Jones sold to Bertram H. Cross of Grafton. They had five sons and one daughter. They resided here a year and sold to Mr. and Mrs. Axel Swenson of Worcester. Not long after this, Mr. Jones died and his wife died in Pennsylvania in 1949.
Mr. and Mrs. Swenson continued to operate a dairy farm, though not on quite so large a scale, having a herd of 20 or more cows. They had seven children: Ellen, married and living in Worcester; Algot, married living in Worcester; Ruth, married living in Boston; Harold, married living in Sutton; Everett, a World War II veteran, married and living in Whitinsville; Roy, also a veteran of World War II, at home and Doris, deceased. The Swensons remained here twenty-two years, selling in 1943 to Samuel J. Kattor of Worcester. Mr. and Mrs. Swenson and Roy went to live in the Dudley cottage, on Dudley Road in Sutton.
The present tenants are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Zuidema and their two sons, Frank Jr. and Richard. Mr. Zuidema is employed at the Felters Co. in Millbury. The sons are veterans of World War II. They are engaged in the salvaging of metal products. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Zuidema, Jr. with their two children, Ruth and John, occupy the second floor apartment.
Across the road from the Jones farm is a small house, built on the foundation of a former cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Raymond and their children, two boys and a girl, live here.
When excavations were made for the erection of this second building, a skeleton was dis- covered, which was thought to be a clue to the mysterious disappearance of a peddler many years earlier.
The property on Mendon Road beyond the former Jones farm, now owned by Mrs. Cora Friend, was known for many years as the Paine place. Mrs. Lusina Paine bought the property from Alden Sibley in 1854. To this farm, in the same year, from their home on Lovell Street in Worcester, came Jonathan Wales and Lusina Paine with their family of six daughters, aged 15, 13, 11, 9, 6 and 4, all of whom were born in that city.
Ann Maria, the eldest, was married on Nov. 28, 1865 to Simeon Augustus Fuller in Sutton and lived till her death on the Fuller farm, now known as the
143
HOMES of SUTTON
Walter Lowe place. Jane Melissa, next daughter, was married on June 30, 1864 to Wilder S. Holbrook and lived most of her life in Sutton Center. Mary Emily was married to Joseph Tenney Oct. 13, 1858, in Sutton and died there in 1870. Sylvia Electa was married to Edward Penniman in June 1866 and lived at the John Brigham home. Sarah Louisa was married to Frank Linnell in 1869 in Sutton. She went to live near Boston. Elizabeth Hersey, the baby of the family, spent much of her time with her sister Sylvia, in whose home she died of typhoid fever Oct. 17, 1868 at the age of eighteen.
Mr. and Mrs. Paine cultivated the farm for many years and the old white horse took many loads of vegetables and fruit to Sutton and Millbury customers. The children attended the Putnam Hill School and helped with the hand sewing on shoes. Before the advent of the sewing machine, many families kept plenty of "uppers" on hand for spare moments. Mr. Paine had been an expert stone mason in Worcester and he was much in demand for the same work in Sutton. It is said that the front wall of the Pigeon Hill Cemetery is an example of his excel- lent work. Mrs. Paine was a clever seamstress and tailoress and made many greatcoats and suits worn by Sutton men during the 60's and 70's.
Mrs. Paine loved people and "knew everybody." Her prodigious memory could trace almost anyone's family connections, popular or unpopular, to the third and fourth generation. She was generous, kind and sympathetic and would willingly leave her own family to help a neighbor in sickness or distress. Bliz- zards held no terror for "Mis.' Paine," who was often called when a baby was born. As an old lady she would refer to one of these children as "my boy" or "my girl." A certain family gave her a pig for her help on a stormy night and she always treasured the memory of that gift.
Mr. Paine was a dignified, stern man and intensely fond of music. He attended the singing schools in the 1830's when the Do, Re, Mi was Fa, Sol, La and he could not become reconciled to the new syllables for singing. His daughter said he could play almost any tune on his fife. He often spoke of standing on the Common and hearing the beautiful voice of Jenny Lind, as she sang in the old Worcester City Hall. His fondness for music was inherited by his daughters, who, in winter, thought nothing of walking from their home on Pigeon Hill to Singing School at the Center, where their frozen quilted skirts would drip during the session. The Paine girls all sang well and loved their music. At this writing this same musical sense has already been apparent in descendants for four succeeding generations.
Mr. Paine's keen imagination is still remembered by a Sutton business man, who, with his brother, visited the old home day after day to hear Mr. Paine's stories. "We were most welcome," said the former visitor, "and the stories were always tales of hunting." Mr. Paine could make those boys see the birds all sitting on a limb when the hunter had only one charge. "What to do?" "Well, I shot very, very carefully, just enough to split the limb, and the toes of all the birds fell in, so, when the limb sprung back, all the birds were there! Caught in the crack! 15 birds with one shot!"
Mr. and Mrs. Paine continued to live in the old home for many years until about 1894 when in failing health they went to live with their daughters. In 1925 P. Orrin Putnam bought the property and deeded the house and forty-seven
144
HISTORY of SUTTON
of the eighty acres to his sister, Phoebe Nora Williams. The house was remodeled and many improvements added.
The Williams family, father, mother and two daughters, came to this cozy home in 1926 from Colrain, Mass. Rev. Charles Williams, a graduate of Wor- cester Academy, Harvard College and Newton Theological Seminary, had retired from active service, but from time to time conducted services in nearby churches until his death in 1935.
The two daughters, Fanny and Doris, were graduated from the New Hamp- shire State Teachers' College and studied at Vermont University and Clark College. Doris, the younger daughter, took additional courses at Columbia University. Both became very active in the West Sutton Baptist Church and have given generously of their time and talents. Fanny has been organist at the church for several years. While living with her parents she drove each day to teach in the Auburn Public Schools until 1935, when she was married to G. Harrison Dodge of Wilkinsonville, Mass. Doris, in 1935, returned from teaching on Long Island to take a position in the Putnam Hill School of Sutton. She was married to Nicholas C. W. VanTwyver in 1936 and they lived with Mrs. Williams at the homestead until the latter's death in 1937.
In 1940 the VanTwyvers bought the place and carried on an extensive poultry business. They added more improvements to the house, arranging a small tene- ment where Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius VanTwyver, father and mother of Nicholas, found a comfortable home. The property was sold in 1945 and Mrs. Cora Friend became the owner and Mr. and Mrs. Friend have since made this their home. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas VanTwyver opened a restaurant on the Central Turnpike.
EIGHT LOTS, DISTRICT No. 3
T HE name, "Eight Lots," was given the district because it included the eight original grants of land, rectangular lots of forty acres each, laid out by the founders of the town. These were as follows:
Lot No. 1 is included in the farm owned by Ernest MacDonald, known for many years as the Solomon Severy-Welsh farm.
Lot No. 2 was included in the Woodbury farm, now owned by George Chrobak. Lot No. 3 is part of the farm now owned by Fred Clark.
Lot No. 4 is owned by George L. Stockwell and one half of No. 5 is also part of his farm. The other half of No. 5 is owned by Russell Cullina of Millbury and is known as the "Dike Lot."
Lot No. 6 was once the Dodge farm but is now part of the Greece farm, as is Lot No. 7, which was once the Waters Putnam farm.
Lot No. 8, the last, was once known as the Morse farm and that, too, is now a part of the Greece farm. Mr. Greece, therefore, owns three of the original "Eight Lots," Nos. 6, 7, and 8.
The roads in the district branch, somewhat like the spokes of a wheel, with the Eight Lots schoolhouse as the hub. Perhaps the logical way of describing the different homes is to take them in order, following each road from the Town boundary to the schoolhouse. Beginning at the top of the hill, on the road to North Oxford, thru what is known as Bug Swamp, the first place is the farm now owned by Paul Libbey. This farm, owned by Stephen Marsh in 1876, was in possession of the Marsh family for many years. The old history does not men- ยท tion the house, which, according to one authority, was built in 1824 by the second Stephen F. Marsh, who brought the bricks for its construction from Quinebaug, Conn. with three pairs of oxen. The farm remained in the posses- sion of the Marsh family until after the death of Stephen F. Marsh in 1901. His son George lived here for a time and two of his children were born here. W. B. Warner and his wife Lora bought the place in 1903 from the Marsh heirs. The barn burned in 1904. Mr. Warner died in 1905 and his widow married Roy Warner, his son by a former marriage. The farm was sold to Charles Gerber in September 1907.

HISTORY of SUTTON
HOME OF PAUL J. LIBBEY
Mr. Gerber was a valued accountant in the Slater Mills of Webster for many years. In October 1907, two of his sons, H. Emil and Nelson, moved to the farm, coming from Vermont. In the spring of 1908, Mr. Gerber sold to his two sons. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Gerber's two daughters, Grace and Ruth, were born here. In 1911, Emil sold his share back to his father and moved away but Nelson stayed and inherited his father's share of the farm at the death of his father in 1927.
Nelson Gerber has been one of the town's officials. He married Miss Dora Ann Rau of Rockville, Conn. in 1911. Mr. and Mrs. Gerber have two sons, both born at the farm, Nelson Jr. in 1913 and Charles in 1918. Nelson Jr. married Miss Elsie Anderson and lives in town. They have one daughter Mildred. Charles was in World War II and is a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute and is now in government work. He married Miss Viola Stevens of Worcester and they have two children. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rau, Mrs. Gerber's parents, lived with them several years. Mrs. Rau died here in 1929 and Mr. Rau in 1932.
In May 1925, the farm was divided and a tract of 276 acres sold to Geo. Thompson. In 1916, Mr. Gerber built a new barn near the brick house; in August 1926 lightning destroyed this barn and contents, and in July 1927, Mr. Gerber built another barn on the same site. The Gerbers sold to Paul Libbey in 1944 and Mr. and Mrs. Libbey (Mabel Hoyle) live here with their two children, Paul and Ruth, the latter being born since they came here.
The 6662/3 acres sold to Richard Waters from the Stoughton grant in 1720 included the land where George Thompson's house now stands. In 1744 Waters
147
HOMES of SUTTON
sold 113 acres, which included this location, to Isaac Town. Town sold to Jacob Estey in December 1745 and Estey sold to Henry Phelps in April 1748. Phelps later bought about twenty-four acres more from various owners. Henry Phelps sold to his son Henry Jr., whose ownership continued until his death when James Phelps, son of Henry Jr., bought out the heirs, becoming sole owner in 1832. James became insolvent in 1841; his assignee sold to Stephen Hutchinson, who, in turn, sold to Mary Knapp. She held the title until her death in 1852. The old records seem to indicate that from 1748 to 1841 and, perhaps later, this place was called the Henry Phelps farm. It was sold by Bradford Knapp, son of Mrs. Knapp, through several hands to Stephen Marsh III in 1853. He sold to his son Stephen Francis, who owned it until his death when it was sold, as before noted. A house must have been erected here either by Henry Phelps Sr. soon after his purchase in 1748, or by Mr. Estey shortly before. A house burned while the Knapps owned the property and was rebuilt by them. In 1891, this house was used by men who were chopping wood for Mr. Marsh and in some way it caught fire and burned. Mr. Marsh built the present house in 1894. The house which burned when the Knapps were there was built of bricks and there are many bricks still around the place. This land was included in the sale of the place (276 acres and house) by the Marsh heirs to the Gerber family and as has been previously noted was sold in 1925 to George Thompson. Mr. Thomp- son married Mamie Stratton of Grafton and they still reside here. In 1931, some land and a pond were sold to the state as a part of the State Reservoir; this pond is now known as the Thompson Pond.
The farm at present owned by Paul Clark was owned by Marble Putnam in 1876. He sold to Abijah Davis about 1886. Mr. Davis lived here with his mother and alone after her death until he, himself, died in 1921. Sylvanus Davis inherited the farm from his brother and sold to Mr. Clark in September 1921. Mr. Clark's mother, Eva (Young) Clark, lived with him until her death, in December 1943. Paul Clark is a veteran of World War I.
Mr. Clark's sister, Alice Clark Riley, and her husband, Edwin Riley, lived here with him several years. Mrs. Riley is a teacher in the Sutton schools. She is a graduate of the Castleton Vermont Normal School and taught in Vermont before returning to Sutton.
The farm, now owned by Abraham Greece, was known for many years as the Waters Putnam place and was occupied by him and his family. Mrs. Putnam died in 1877 and Mr. Putnam in 1879. His heirs sold out to his son Marble and his wife (Evaline Waters), who lived here until Marble's death in 1914. Later Mrs. Putnam lived with her son Charles. Their children Justin, Julia, Charles and Jennie were born here. Justin lives in Rochdale. Julia married first, Willis Robbins, and second, Orren Putnam. Charles married Nellie Adams of Oxford and they lived on the farm for a number of years. Two of their children were born here, Jennie Belle (Mrs. James Smith) and Doris (Mrs. Gordon Humes). Marble Putnam's youngest daughter Jennie married Ezra Marble and they had two children, Luella (Mrs. Ralph Gurney) and E. Wesley. Jennie died in 1906.
The farm was sold in 1919 to Abraham and Samuel Greece. Later it became the property of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Greece, who live here. There are six children, Shirley, Mildred, Jack, Bernard, Irving and Nathan. Bernard is now

(1951) in the U. S. Service, stationed at Hawaii; Mildred is married to Yale Pearlstein and lives in Worcester.
In 1876, Benjamin Dodge owned the next farm, mentioned in the old history, and David Dodge lived there. After his death in 1892, the house stood empty. Marble Putnam bought the farm some time later. In 1894, the barn burned and a few years afterwards the house also burned. The land is now a part of the Greece farm.
HOME OF GEORGE L. STOCKWELL
George Kiron Stockwell lived on the farm now occupied by his son, George L. Stockwell, all his life. By frugality and thrift he amassed a considerable for- tune and at his death, he left a substantial sum to both the First Congregational Church of Sutton and to the West Sutton Baptist Church. His wife Martha died at the advanced age of ninety-four years. Mr. George L. Stockwell is one of the well known citizens of Sutton. He has been a Selectman, on the Board of Welfare, an Assessor and was on the Draft Board in World War II. He has also been active in Grange affairs and held many offices. He married Miss Carrie McCracken of Millbury in 1904. They have four children: Olive, wife of William Taft of Millbury; Viola, wife of Henry Credit of Millbury; Howard, an electrician, who also lives in Millbury and Wilfred, who is an electrician in Worcester. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Riley moved into a new home, built by them early in 1952 on land between G. L. Stockwell's and Fred Clark's, purchased from the Clark farm.
149
HOMES of SUTTON
The farm owned and operated by Fred Clark was the property of Simeon Stockwell in 1876. At his death it was inherited by Henry S. Stockwell. The section south of the Oxford road was incorporated in the Sutton Fish Hatchery. Before the purchase of the farm by Mr. Clark in April 1908, it was used by Mr. Stockwell as a tenant farm for a number of years. Mr. Orrin Clark came to Sutton in 1897 and lived here from 1901 until his death in December 1919. It is said that the first town meeting in Sutton was held in a small house situated in the rear of the present barn. Traces of this house can now be seen. A deep-red rose bush still blossoms, which is supposed to have been planted by the first Mrs. Stockwell to live in Sutton over 200 years ago. Mr. Clark and his wife, who was Harriet Richardson, have four children: Selwyn, who married Mrs. Edith M. Ballard in 1951, lives in Millbury but helps manage the farm; Helen, wife of Lawrence Pierce of Millbury; Burton, and Shirley, who married Edward La Crosse. Mr. and Mrs. La Crosse live here with their two children, Brenda and Marcia. Fred Clark is prominent in town affairs, having been chairman of the Board of Selectmen for several years and also having served in other important civic activities.
HOME OF FRED B. CLARK
A new house was built in 1947 on Woodbury Lane by Burton Clark, who occupies it with his wife (Ellen Heck) and son Burton Jr. Mr. Clark is a grad- uate of Clark College and taught in the Sutton Schools for several years. The place, long known as the Woodbury Farm, was in the possession of the Wood- bury family one hundred four years. In 1876, it was owned by Charles Woodbury
