Mr. Chipman lived here until his death and his de- scendants retained an interest in the estate practically the entire time until it was sold to Frank A. Woodbury, May 5, 1888,3 under whose ownership the old parsonage is maintained in excellent condition.

RYAL SIDE
The lot which the Parish assigned to Mr. Chipman he retained until March 8, 1757,1 when the Parish voted to sell the lot to Joseph Fluant, provided Mr. Fluant should pay to Mr. Chipman the sum of one pound, thir- teen shillings, four pence, which he did. The committee representing the Parish conveying the lot to Mr. Fluant were John Leach, Jonathan Batchelder, and John Conant. A portion of the Wallis homestead, numbered 27 Conant Street, is included in the Chipman-Fluant lot.
On January II, 1716, John Creesy, the first born of that family in the Salem Township, was chosen as the first deacon of the new church. Deacon Creesy lived at Ryal Side and his home was on Elliott Street, adjacent to the golf grounds. He was one of the founders of the Second Parish Church, and his membership continued until his death, July 22, 1735.
Robert Hooper, Jr., of Marblehead, became greatly interested in the progress of the Parish. He owned a large acreage at Ryal Side at that period, was a gentle- man of large means, and was the owner of the land on and about Leach's Hill (Folly Hill) afterward owned by William Browne, of Salem, who was likewise a wealthy merchant.
A recognition of Mr. Hooper's interest and practical friendship is found in the Parish records under date of May 8, 1753: 'Voted that whereas Robert Hooper Jr., Esq. of Marblehead, hath by his generosity and dona- tion greatly oblighed this precinct in presenting us with a bell on his own cost and charge for ye use of said pre-

cinct: In consideration whereof, voted, that this pre- cinct do grant and freely give unto ye sd Robert Hooper Esq., his heirs and assigns, the pew at the southerly end of our Public Meeting house, situate between Mr. Porter's and Deacon Cressy's pew.'
At the same meeting it was voted 'to Lath and Plaster overhead over ye above sd pew upon ye parishes cost.'
The early records of the Second Parish Church are interesting, and much has already been written concern- ing them. Many of the names found therein are those of the families who first settled on the lands of the dis- trict and who were the immediate descendants of the original grantees or early owners: Herricks, Batchelders, Conants, Balches, Leaches, Dodges, Rayments, Trasks, Reas, Woodburys, Grigges, Creesys, Haywards, Fluants, and Browns.
Aside from its prominence as a religious institution, the Second Parish has witnessed many events in our national life in which its members have taken an active part, and the character of its historical associations has stood important in the annals of the township from the time Rev. Joseph Green 'went to ye raising of ye Meeting House at Horse Bridge.'
THE RYAL SIDE SCHOOL
ATTENTION was given at a very early date to the estab- lishment of a school at Ryal Side, and the original movement appears to have been with the inhabitants of the district, whose homes were widely scattered. These residents informally organized as a Board of Trustees or Managers and purchased a lot for the erection of their schoolhouse.
April 5, 1692: 1 'Jacob Barney to Farmer Porter, Mr Hayward & others. for seven pounds in silver money paid by Mr Israel Porter, Sergt John Leach, Cornet Nathl Howard (Hayward) sen.

2 Dr. Griggs's house stood near the house of Mr. George W. Dodge, 151 Conant Street. The oak tree stood in the angle of the wall at the junction of Dark Lane and Conant Street, easterly and southerly.

Cue ... twenty six poles and Eleven foot to ye said Oak.'
This was the corner lot bounded by Dark Lane west- erly and Conant Street northerly, and is now a part of the land of Mr. George W. Dodge.
Whatever means were provided for the maintenance of this school, beyond those given by the residents and trustees, were provided by the Town of Salem. Before the middle of the eighteenth century, the trustees evi- dently disposed of the lot, which undoubtedly became a part of the large estate of William Browne which com- prised the Porter and Barney farms. This schoolhouse was succeeded by a new one, which was erected on the north side of Conant Street about opposite the site of the first one.
January 29, 1740,' William Porter and his wife, Edith, conveyed to the 'Society yt Joins in building Sch. H. in Salem,' 'in consideration of the good will & affection which I have & bear to the Society that Joins in Build- ing of a School House in said township, have given & granted unto the Said Society one rod & a half of land lying & being on the Northern side of the Common Road and fronting Barneys Gate & ten feet of Land back from said Road for the use & benefitt of a School House to all such as are proprietors in Building of said School House.'
This lot stood on the northern side of Conant Street, near Burley Street, and opposite the entrance to Dark Lane where Jacob Barney maintained a gate. The schoolhouse erected on this lot was quite small, as the

lot measured only about twenty-five by thirty-five feet.
Municipal assistance given this school was allowed by the Town of Salem until 1753, when Ryal Side was made a part of Beverly.
April 19, 1750,' William Porter sold to Robert Hooper, Jr., for the sum of one thousand, eight hundred and forty-three pounds, four shillings, 'All my Farm in said Salem, consisting of two hundred & forty six acres & seventy six poles, ... Saving only the Land the School house stands on which I have given to the Proprietors of Sd School House.'
The building, which stood on the lot which Mr. Porter gave, was occupied for school purposes for nearly fifty years when it appears to have been replaced by a new building, on another but near-by location.
May 10, 1790,2 the Selectmen of Beverly defined the lines of the various school districts, and the town ordered that 'Ryal Side School district contains all the Dwelling Houses and persons dwelling in them which are to the westward of Josiah Batchelders 3 to Danvers line and that are to the westward of Bartholmew Trasks house on both sides of the way to Danvers line and to the westward of Burch Plains Road to Danvers line and their School House to be built near the north end of Barnies Lane so called.'
The schoolhouse which the Town of Beverly author- ized in 1790 succeeded that which stood on the Porter

3 Josiah Batchelder's house stood on the lot now occupied by the residence of Mr. Paul S. Eaton, 407 Elliott Street, and the line which defined the school district ran directly north to Trask Street.

lot and was placed on what is now Liberty Street, which was laid out in 1788.
What is now Foster Street, and known as Dark Lane, was at this time called 'Barnies' (Barney's) Lane, and the location of the lot was a short distance westerly from its junction with Conant Street.
For the support of this school in its first year, the records of the Beverly Town Meeting of 1791 state: 'in the Royal Side District there were 36 polls assessed for the upkeep of the School and the sum of 18£-10-8 1 was allowed.'
The reports show that, at the end of the first decade of its establishment, the school stood in a favorable light.
To the Beverly Town Meeting of March, 1809, the School Committee reported: 'The Committee have vis- ited the School in Royal Side district, under the care of Mr. Shepard. At the first visit the appearance was not very attentive: the Second was rather more pleasing. Decent order was observable and Sum few individuals discovered a manifest alteration for the better. A small class in English Grammar Gave a short Specimen of their attainments in that Art, which considering the Shortness of the term did honor to their instructor & evinced a becoming Zeal, application & diligence in themselves.' 2
At the Town Meeting of May, 1809, the Committee submitted certain recommendations which were adopted : 'Voted: that the School money Shall be distributed by the Selectmen to the Several districts as near as May
I About ninety dollars. 2 Beverly Town Records, volume 9, page 20.

be as follows, viz: to Bassriver district, Royal Side, Bald Hill, Dodges Row, Eastern Farms and Western Farms districts so as to average 190 cents to each rated Poll.' I
Rev. Moses Dow of the School Committee, reported to the Town Meeting of April 3, 1810: 'The School at Royal Side District under the care of Mr Samuel Jack- son has also been twice visited by the committee. This School has ever been behind Some others. Its advan- tages are small. But at the Second visit your Com- mittee were pleased with the ingenuity and diligince of the Young Gentleman who had the care of the School.' 2
This schoolhouse was continued for about sixty years, when it was moved down Liberty Street toward the bridge, made into a small dwelling-house, and the pre- sent schoolhouse, now unoccupied, was erected on the site. This school was maintained by the Town of Beverly until 1857.3
School facilities for the inhabitants of Ryal Side living east of the Beverly-Danvers municipal boundary line, as now established, were available only in the public schools of Beverly Town proper, subsequent to 1857, and this situation continued until a school was established in 1889 on the site of the present school building.
The present Ryal Side school building stands on land which was formerly a part of the Batchelder Farm.

3 Mr. George W. Dodge, now living at 151 Conant Street, Danvers, attended the school located on the Liberty Street lot for about two years prior to the removal of the school building, 1852.

THE RYAL SIDE SCHOOL
During the Revolutionary period, the lot was a part of the estate of Nathaniel Cressy and during his ownership was given the name of 'Coal Pit Hill,' for the reason probably that Mr. Cressy maintained a charcoal kiln on the hill. Nathaniel was a Revolutionary soldier, serving in the company of Captain Caleb Dodge. His house stood on the homestead lot of Mr. Arthur L. Hutchin- son, Sunnycrest Avenue.
This school was established in 1889 in a two-room wooden building, under the care of Miss Lizzie E. Trask, Principal, with a membership of eighteen pupils; this number doubled the succeeding year. The accommoda- tions afforded by this building were soon found to be inadequate and, with the establishment of the United Shoe Machinery Corporation in Beverly, it was found necessary to construct a larger building.
In 1902, a brick building of four rooms was erected, but this provision was found insufficient by the end of the decade. In 1910, the building was enlarged to pro- vide for the addition of four more rooms, and in 1920, the rear wing was constructed which gave an extension of floor space equivalent to a total of twelve rooms, which is the present classroom accommodation.
During the school year of 1929, the total enrollment reached approximately five hundred pupils. Including the principal, the school at the present time maintains a force of fifteen teachers.
