445
THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
Going south on Main Street from Faculty Street, we come to the road leading eastward up to the Ridge road. There are now no houses on that road.
SPRINGFIELD STREET, going west from Main Street.
1. First house west of Phillips' store. Now owned by Edith A. Holman. Former owners: Phebe A. Holman, Cecelia B. Chilson, Emeline R. Sterling and Catharine B. Sherman, Lucinda D. Moody, Nancy B. Moody, Gaius Brewer. The blacksmith shop of John Brewer, and of his father Gaius Brewer, stood just east of the present house. About 1850, a six or eight years old boy and his sister were sent on an errand to this place. They found the lady of the house smoking her pipe, (something not unusual in those days). In order to attend to their errand she was obliged to leave the room for a few minutes and laid down her pipe. The children took several whiffs from it before she returned, and soon the floor of the room seemed to them to be whirling around and the sides of the house falling in. They got out of the house and ate some sorrel which they found near the shop, and hurried home. But the doctor had to be called before their troubles were ended. The "Boy" told me the story only a few days ago.

About 1800, a tannery was conducted here by Henry and Harvey (or Hervey) Howard. This is the house where the confederate flag was displayed in 1861. (See 18, North Main Street.)
Some sixty or eighty rods further to the west, the street crosses the second and principal branch of Pole Bridge Brook. Fifty or seventy rods further, on the south side of the street, is the well where Phebe Ann, the three years old daughter of Benoni Atchinson, was drowned in 1830.

The mile was made by an automobile in one minute, eight seconds, and by an Indian motorcycle in one minute and three-fifths of a second.
