Alvin Eaton and they have two children. They live in a new home on Uxbridge Road.
The house on Uxbridge Road, below Maclaren's, was built by Ernest P. Putnam on the site of the house occupied by Andrew Laverty in 1876. Mr. Putnam operated the grocery store in the Center. Mrs. Putnam directed the music at the First Congregational Church and was active in the Red Cross work. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beasley of Millbury owned the property later and sold to Maurice and Freda Terrill, who lived here eight years. They had a young son.
In January of 1948, Francis and Katherine Turonis of Millbury purchased the property. They cleared the land of old fruit trees and have added three rooms to the house and built a garage. They have three children: Katherine, born July 19, 1948; Karen, born June 5, 1950 and Francis, born November 11, 1951.
Walter and Helen Banach of Worcester bought land from Milton M. Sherman and built a home in 1941. This property is on the left of Uxbridge Road. They have five children; Walter S., Arline, Elizabeth, Diane and Theresa. Mr. Banach is a mason by trade, and a loyal member of the Singletary Rod and Gun Club.
The farm, listed in Vol. I, History of Sutton as owned by Solomon D. King, father of Mrs. Sarah King Bennett, was next owned by Elwin T. Putnam and his wife Lillian. They had two children; Jennie Florine, born April 18, 1881 and John Rogers, born July 3, 1883. Jennie, while alone in the house one night, accidentally tipped over a lighted kerosene lamp, setting fire to her clothing. She ran a quarter of a mile to the home of Estes Putnam for help but was so badly burned she lived but a short time. She died on Feb. 8, 1903 at the age of twenty-one.
In 1917, The Putnams sold the place to Allison Coon of Worcester. With two of his sons, Ralph and Irving, he featured strawberry culture, raising and selling strawberries throughout the community. The barn was destroyed during the 1938 hurricane. He built a new garage on the farm.
In 1940, he sold the property to Peter and Celia Szewerenka. They have three children, Genevieve, Alice and Chester. Mr. Szewerenka built a new barn and several hen houses on the land and is a very successful farmer.
Herbert L. Ray owned more than thirty acres of land on the south side of Carter Road, now known as Bond Hollow Road. Part of this land was acquired from Richard Whipple and part was known as the Hall land. Mr. Ray farmed this area for many years, and at one time set quite a number of MacIntosh and other varieties of apple trees here.
When he retired from farming he chose a spot on this land to build a small frame house, a garage and a small shed. On the cottage he built a wide and spacious sun porch, which overlooked the whole valley and hillside. Both he and Mrs. Ray enjoyed the ever-changing scenery from this porch the last few years of their lives. This house was built in 1939 and Mr. Ray was very proud of the twenty-inch floor boards in the living room, sawed from the fallen pines and hemlocks, blown down in the '38 hurricane at Purgatory Chasm State Reserva- tion. Mr. Ray was Superintendent of the Reservation for nearly twenty years. He did not live to enjoy this house very long and died here on Feb. 15, 1941.
In May 1947, Mr. and Mrs. E. Wesley Marble and their daughter Phyllis

HISTORY of SUTTON
Anne came here from Cochituate, Mass. and are the present owners. Mrs. Marble is a daughter of the Rays. In 1939, Mr. Ray gave Mr. and Mrs. Marble one of the younger orchards, a little below his house, consisting of about three acres. They built a small cottage here and used it for a summer home, more or less, until Mr. Marble became employed by the Raytheon Mfg. Co., doing war work. This little place was sold to June Holbrooke, but when the Marbles returned to Sutton, it was purchased back again and added to the Ray estate. In 1951, it was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Everett L. Minor who have made it into a year-round home.
The Bond place in Bond Hollow was rented by Henry S. Stockwell from Mr. Chase of Worcester for fifteen years. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon D. King lived here in the 1880s. After them, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Davis and children, William, Grace and Alice moved here. Harry and Arthur were born on the farm. An older son and the father died here; John S. in 1901, at the age of fifty-nine. Mrs. Davis and her children moved to the Jacques farm. The property then was sold to Henry Carter of Millbury, who specialized in poultry.
Mr. Carter sold to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Klewiec of Worcester in 1923. The Klewiecs had six children, Josephine, Hedwig, Joseph, Stanley, Helen and Walter. Mary, Louise, Chester, Ruth and Richard were born here. The house was so badly damaged by fire that remodeling was necessary and a new barn was built to replace the one destroyed by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Klewiec, Joseph, Ruth, Chester and Richard are the present occupants-the other children having married and moved away.
The following notes have been recorded of events in District 4. The first automobile went over this street in 1894. The first electric lights were continued west in 1909. Anderson Bros. came from Worcester to collect milk in an auto truck in 1911. The State Road from the Center to Woodbury Corner was built in 1913. The first trailer passed through the Center, July 13, 1937. On July 7, 1893, Iola M. Stockwell and her sister Genevieve, daughters of Alonzo E. and Lizzie Prouty Stockwell, were the first women to ride a bicycle in the Center.
HATHAWAY DISTRICT, No. 5
T HE first house in this district on Mendon Road is opposite the Lowe Road intersection and was owned by Sullivan Fuller, in 1876. It was inherited by his son, Francis Fuller, a violin player and watch and clock repairer. He, in turn, willed the property to his son Francis Eugene, who lived here a while after his father's death, selling to a Mr. Aldrich. John Mascroft also was owner at one time. Years later, Mrs. Julia Fedorczuk purchased the home and sold to the present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Malinowski. They have a son Martin Chester.
Going east on Mendon Road, the property on the left was known in the first History as the Mary Record place. The house was built in the year of 1775. Miss Record was the daughter of Jonathan Record and the only one of the name in town. She left the place to a friend, Frank Miller, who had made his home with her some years before her death. He sold to Walter Burt and wife of Millbury. They had two daughters and one son. Mr. Burt was a carpenter by trade and he built an addition to the house, also buildings for a wood-working shop. The shop was moved away and the property sold to Mr. Jennings. Scott B. Jones then bought and ran the farm for a short time, selling to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Anderson about 1920. Their children were: John, married to Phyllis Hunton; Elmer, married to Priscilla Hunton; Harold, who was in the Marines, World War II; Carl, a veteran of World War I; Estrid, wife of Clifford Liberty and Elsie, wife of Nelson R. Gerber.
John E. Anderson bought the property, in 1937, and remained here until 1941, selling to Charles Crompton, who kept riding horses and gave riding lessons. The property then passed to Wallace Adams and wife Edith, to Arthur King, to George King and Roy Potter and finally to Mr. and Mrs. George King, the present owners. They live here with their daughter Carol. The farm is now a large dairy farm.
The only house on Lowe Road was owned, in 1876, by Simeon A. Fuller, who married Ann Maria Paine. The house, built in 1750 by Daniel Towne, is one of the oldest in Sutton. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller lived here until their deaths; Mr. Fuller died in 1906 and his wife in 1907. Their daughter Annie Louise was married to Walter A. Lowe. Walter A. Lowe was born May 2, 1860 in Sutton and died October 12, 1939 at home; Annie L. (Fuller) Lowe, born March 1, 1872, died May 30, 1938 at Memorial Hospital.

HISTORY of SUTTON
Mr. and Mrs. Lowe had two children, Walter F. and Barbara L., who now own the home. Walter Fuller Lowe was born April 4, 1909 in Sutton and married Beatrice Saucier of Worcester on November 30, 1935. Barbara Louise was born January 28, 1912 in Sutton. She is a graduate of the School for Nurs- ing, Newbury St., Boston and was resident nurse at the Charlton Masonic Home. Walter and Barbara are descendants of Levi Fuller in the sixth generation and of John Putnam in the tenth generation.
The old Hathaway place on Mendon and Uxbridge Roads was owned by Rufus King, in 1876. B. F. King bought from the Rufus King estate and sold to George Sweet and wife, who lived here a few years with Mrs. Sweet's daugh- ter, Emma Ford, a high school student. The family moved to Boston Road, near the present Turnpike, selling to Russell H. Baton. He remodeled the house into one for two families, which was occupied by several tenants. The property then passed to B. F. King, to Arthur King, purchasing it from his father's estate, and finally to Elmer Darling, the present owner. He has taken the old house down and built a new one. He also sold fifty acres across the road for a sportsman's club, retaining the balance of the land.
The last farm on Mendon Road, before entering the South Sutton District, is the M. E. Crossman place (Volume I of the History). After Mr. Crossman's death, in 1881, it was sold to Leonard Gaskill of Mendon, who had a large dairy and wood business. He sold to George W. Fletcher and Randsom H. Richardson. The George Fletchers had five daughters: Stella married R. H. Richardson; Cora married Sandford Batcheldor of Grafton; Minnie married Robert Stockwell of Millbury; Ethel married Arthur B. Putnam of Sutton and Ruth married Van Aldrich of Sutton. The barn was struck by lightning and burned and also the shed, icehouse and part of the house. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Richardson's sister sold to R. H. Baton of Whitinsville, who bought also the next farm, known as the William V. Inman place. Among those who had lived at the Inman farm were George Stockwell, O. E. Smith and Charles A. Hough. The house has been taken down. Mr. Baton bought the place adjoining, known as the Kings- bury farm, from Edward Chamberland, who had lived there and had rented it to Hollis Richardson. The house burned.
Mr. Baton was engaged in various activities. He was boss farmer for the Whitinsville Cotton Mills, Superintendent of Streets in Whitinsville and, need- ing more business, came to Sutton to buy the three farms. He enlarged the barn on the Inman farm, keeping, at times, seventy-five head of cattle. Besides the cattle, he kept two teams busy hauling lumber and wood, and hiring other teams to work on the farm. He employed two carpenters by the year for repair work and the construction of new buildings.
He owned, for a time, the Hathaway place, parts of the Ambler and South- wick farms and the Hilton property, and in District 8 the Alger and the Casey land. On the Alger place he rebuilt the house and erected a new home where he and his wife lived at the time of their deaths. Mr. Baton was a very large man, weighing about three hundred and fifty pounds, and, as he rode about the countryside, a farmer might hail him to ask if he were buying any wood lots, which sometimes he did without investigating the same. He owned hundreds of acres of woodland; some in Sutton are still owned by his heirs.

Mr. and Mrs. Everett King now live on the Crossman place. They have a daughter Charlotte. Mr. King operates here a large dairy farm.
The house on Uxbridge Road near Mendon Road was the Old Hathaway Schoolhouse. It was bought at auction by Walter Katemas and his wife, who have enlarged and remodeled it into a dwelling for themselves.
Next on Uxbridge Road is the house, built in 1865, by Joseph Hicks and his wife (Frances Stevens). They had a son Hiram and a daughter Abbie. As a family they were enthusiastic members of the Grange, always happy to assist in the entertainments and they braved many wintry nights to attend the meetings. Hiram died in 1888 at the age of thirty. Abbie taught at the Union School for several years and was married, in 1889, to Albion Gaskill of Mendon and went there to live. After Mrs. Hicks' death, in 1893, Mr. Hicks sold to Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Smith, who had owned the Ambler place. Mr. Smith, besides oper- ating the farm, conducted a large slate and gravel roofing-business. The Smiths had a son Ralph. They sold the property to Fred Carlson and wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Carlson had seven children: Walfred married Evina Collette; Charles married Phyllis Marsh; Leonard; Anna married Elson Moore; Hilma married William Army; Edith married Wallace Adams and Eleanor mar- ried William Levasseur.
Wallace and Edith Adams now own and operate the farm; have a large dairy and a milk route. They have eight children: William, Wallace, Helen, Betty, Gale, Robert, Doris and Linda.
The farm on the Central Turnpike, which is owned by Joseph Tankis, was formerly the James D. Hill place. Mr. Hill lived here until 1901 when the property was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Hough of Worcester. A daughter Hazel Alice was born March 30, 1901. She was married in 1922 to Frederick Ashton Cressey. The Cresseys lived at the farm for five years after their marriage and two of their children were born here, Warren Ashton on Dec. 24, 1922 and Alice Arlene, Mar. 13, 1924. Mr. Hough took an active part in the town affairs, serving on the Board of Public Welfare and the Board of Health. He died in 1938.
Mrs. Hough died here in 1942. The Cresseys returned to the farm for a while and built a new barn. They sold to Joseph Tankis, in 1943, reserving three acres on the Turnpike. Near the old Bond Hollow Road, now discontinued, they built a small house which was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Brophy. At present they are erecting a new house on this land and have sold an adjoining lot on which another house is being constructed.
Mr. and Mrs. Tankis have five children, Peter, Linda, John, Daniel and Michael. They live upstairs, renting the first floor apartment to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Freeland and family. The house burned in 1952.
When Charles Hough bought the Hill farm he went with Mr. Hill to register the deed. On their return, sister Harriet Hill told them they were "gone long enough to have writ a Bible, binding and all," and when she learned the price, she said, "I would not have sold for that; I would have kept it, till the brush grew up in the kitchen."
The next place on the corner of the Central Turnpike and Uxbridge Road, owned by Rufus King, in 1876, was sold after his death to B. F. King. Mr. King built a new barn on the property and Charles P. King lived here for a

while. The house later was occupied by various families until it was destroyed by fire. Arthur E. King is the present owner.
The property on Uxbridge Road, north of the Rufus King farm, was owned and occupied by Thomas J. Nealy until about 1900 when the house burned to the ground. The land was sold to B. F. King, to Frank Davis of Worcester and to Fred F. Dorr. Mr. Dorr moved the barn back from the road and built a new house where he lived with his family. Mr. and Mrs. Dorr (Ellen F. Graves ) had ten children: Clarence Dexter (1891), Frank F. (1893), Ethel M. (1895), Edward B. (1897), Ada I. (1899), Lawrence B. (1900), Jennie F. (1903), Willis C. (1905), Amy L. (1907) and Irving R. (1909). Edward, Ada, Law- rence and Willis died in infancy.
After a few years, the property passed to Wallace F. King, to Gilbert Smith and to Mr. Harder of Whitinsville. Fire again visited the place, destroying the house and later a new house and the barn. The land was sold to Wendell Jones, who built a new cottage on the old site. Martin Anderson purchased this home and a part of the land. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and son Edward are the present occupants.
The house, north of the Anderson property on Uxbridge Road, is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph P. Aspinwall. They moved to Sutton, Nov. 5, 1939, and lived in the former MacLaren house with their sons, Frederick Jesse, George Henry and Frank Russell. In 1947, the owners wished to occupy the house, so the Aspinwalls were forced to look elsewhere for a home. In August 1947, they purchased a piece of land from Arthur E. King and in September they started to build the house. With the persistence of Mr. Aspinwall and two sons, who were home at that time, they were able to move into their new home, in June 1948.
The boys all graduated from the grammar school in Sutton and entered high school. Frederick left North High School of Worcester, Nov. 17, 1944, to enlist in the U. S. Navy, and received training at Sampson, N. Y., Fire Control School at Bainbridge, Md. and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He served on the U. S. Ship SanDiego and U. S. Ship Yorktown, both stationed in SanDiego, Cal. and Seattle, Wash. He was discharged, July 9, 1946, after serving twenty-one months. He was graduated from North High School, in June 1947, and from Becker Junior College, in June 1949. He is now employed by Norton Co. in Worcester.
George was graduated from Sutton High School, in June 1946, and enlisted in the U. S. Navy, June 28, 1946, just after graduation. After training at Bainbridge, Md., he went to Submarine School at New London, Conn. He served a short time on different submarines, but was transferred to the West Coast and was attached to the Submarine Tender U. S. Ship Nereus, which made a trip to Alaska and the Bering Sea. The Submarines were experimenting by going under the icebergs. He served twenty-two months and was discharged April 26, 1948. He was married to Dorothy Lemoine of Manchaug (a classmate) on Nov. 13, 1948 and lives in Manchaug. He is employed at Whitin Machine Works.
Frank was graduated from Sutton High School, in June 1949. He had enlisted in the U. S. Navy but could not serve, being seriously injured while working on a farm. He was married, in 1952, and resides in Southboro where he is employed.

The adjoining property, a part of the Rufus King farm, was purchased from Arthur E. King by Mr. and Mrs. John Alvin Eaton ( Alta MacLaren ). In 1948, they built an attractive five-room house on the land, assisted by Albert H. Johnson. They have two children, Lois Loretta (June 20, 1943) and Jeffrey Harold (June 13, 1947). John A. Eaton is a veteran of World War II.
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene J. Roy (Louise MacLaren) own the home at the foot of the hill on Uxbridge Road. This place was known as the Estes Putnam prop- erty in Volume I of the Sutton History and had a shingle mill, across the street, which has since been taken down and the dam also torn out. Mrs. Sally Putnam, wife of Estes, was a kind neighbor, loved and respected by all. Charles Bodo and wife Ella bought the place from Abbie F. Ewing and Hannah E. Pickering, heirs of the Estes Putnam estate. The property then passed to Reginald D. Lidstone, to Asa Wheeler, to Victor Anderson, and to their heirs, Regina McGrath and Adolph Anderson, who sold to the Roys. Mr. and Mrs. Roy have five children: Katherine Cordell (July 19, 1940), Patricia Louise (June 8, 1942), Tallymae Muriel (May 1, 1944), Eugene Joseph Jr. (May 31 1947) and Curtis Chandler (Dec. 13, 1948).
The property across the road from the Roy home was known as the Sumner Putnam place in Volume I of the History. Mr. Putnam lived here with his younger children until his death in 1892. The place was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bodo, who lived on the property for several years. Their son Charles resided here when it was sold to a Dr. Lucier, who remodeled the house and built a bank wall beside the road. Dr. Lucier sold the place to Sadie Seligman of Worcester, who, in turn, sold to Calvin Cason of Worcester, the present owner, in 1950.
On Uxbridge Road, at the top of the hill, Fred Mathieu bought a lot from Arthur E. King, opposite the Jones-Nealy land, and built a modern cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Mathieu (Viola Benoit) had two children, Donald Charles (July 21, 1942) and Paul Joseph (April 18, 1947). Mr. Mathieu sold his property to Mr. and Mrs. Norton Clarkson (Jacqueline Auger) and they live here with their son Wilfred William, born Feb. 12, 1950.
The land on the lot, at the corner of King Road and Uxbridge Road, was sold by Arthur E. King to Frank Walsh and wife from Worcester.
The farm at the end of King Road, owned in 1876 by Putnam King, was occupied by him until his death, Jan. 7, 1881, at the age of seventy-three years. His wife, Jerusha Davis, died Jan. 27, 1879, aged sixty-eight years. In his will, Putnam King left the home place to his sons, Eli D. and Benjamin Franklin King. B. Franklin, shortly after, bought Eli's share and carried on the farm and dealt in cattle until his death, in 1926, at the age of seventy-three. His wife, Mary H. Johnson, lived with her son Walter until her death, in 1939, at the age of eighty years. Mr. and Mrs. B. Franklin King had four sons. Charles P. (May 13, 1881) married Ruth C. Clarke; Wallace F. (May 14, 1885) married Ethel S. Woodbury; Walter J. (May 14, 1885) married 1st. Gertrude Gurney of Millbury, who died in the 1918 influenza epidemic, and 2nd. Hazel G. Davidson of Charlton; Arthur E. (Mar. 10, 1894) married Eunice E. Perry.

the Grange and the DAR. Mr. King served as Auditor, as Assessor and as Selectman.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter King (Hazel Davidson) have four children: William D., born in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 18, 1924; Virginia M., born Nov. 6, 1925; Gertrude E., born Feb. 16, 1927 and Ruth A., born Sept. 20, 1930. William married Helen M. Greco of Worcester Dec. 25, 1947 and their children are Sharon Ann (Jan. 5, 1949) and Dale Marshall (Feb. 20, 1951). Virginia was married to Edward J. Kozlowski of Dudley and have two children, Michael E. (Apr. 4, 1951) and Katherine Anne (June 17, 1952). Ruth was married to Charles G. Meserve of Worcester on Dec. 16, 1950.
Walter King has always lived on this place. He and his son William bought off the other heirs and are operating a large dairy farm. This property was pur- chased by William King, one of the original proprietors of the Town, from Elisha Johnson about 1716. It has always been owned and occupied by Kings, Walter of the seventh and William of the eighth generation. It would seem to be about the only place of continuous ownership in both family and name.
The Taylor farm, owned by Putnam King in 1876, was left to his son, P. Dwight King, who married Mary J. Whitney. They had one son, Ernest D. King. He married Carrie Howard and they had a son Wilder, now living in New Hampshire. P. Dwight King was very active in town affairs, holding various town offices and serving as moderator for many years. He became ill at a town meeting and died Mar. 31, 1899, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Henry F. Rice, on Singletary Avenue. His son Ernest carried on the farm and lumber busi- ness for a few years, later selling and moving with his family to New Hampshire. Wallace Putnam, who purchased the farm, lived here with his wife and son Donald W., born at this home. Mr. Putnam sold to Frank (Fokke) Baarda and wife Theresa of Whitinsville in 1911.
Mr. and Mrs. Fokke Baarda had four sons; Oke, Walter, Joseph and Richard (Dirk), who married Mrs. Jennie Baker of Northbridge. Joseph married Ger- trude VanderPloeg; their children were Sylvia, Thelma, Janice and Fred. Joseph bought the Pierce-Lincoln place, District 10, in 1935, where the family lived. Foke Baarda died June 20, 1943; Mrs. Theresa Baarda died July 6, 1933.
Richard Baarda and wife are present owners of the farm and operate a large dairy business. They have built new barns and have greatly improved the place and the land. Miss Anne Baker, daughter of Mrs. Barda, was married to Chester Frieswyck in Jan. 1951. They live in Whitinsville. Mrs. Baarda's son, Herbert Baker, lives at the home. This is one of the greatest show places in Sutton with its beautiful view of the surrounding countryside.
The property on Purgatory Road, owned by Putnam King in 1876, was sold to George Hilton and wife, who lived there a short time, selling to Charles P. King. Mr. King sold to Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hesslinger of Whitinsville, in 1910, bought it back again and sold it to the Walton family, in 1911, the family which were unfortunately burned out of their other home on Hovey Hill in District 4. The Waltons sold to Russell H. Baton in 1916. After changing owners once or twice, it came into possession of Dominic Krasnosky and his wife Tafeeta, the present occupants.
