Opposite this house a road leads to the south to the home of C. P. Bolles.
A little more than a mile from Main Street, the road crosses the Ridge road at the top of the mountain and begins to descend to the east.
6. On south side of road. House now owned by Mrs. Elvira (Day) Blanchard. Former owners: L. Munsell, Dennis Knowlton. E. Tupper helped build house.

House now owned by John Francovitz, Jr. Former owners: Town of Wilbraham, Betsey Webster, Mrs. Lydia (Webster) Nelson, Miles Webster, Elijah Webster, who came from Hebron, Conn., and purchased the place in 1794. The present house was built about 1817, to replace one that stood on the north side of the road. This place is on part of the over- plus land, and was sold in 1773, by the town of Wilbraham to Noah and Solomon Warriner. Much of the land, first pur- chased by Elijah Webster, has been sold by different owners.

THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
Since the above was written the house has burned. On the north side of the road W. H. Foster has recently set out the largest peach orchard in Glendale.
8. On north side of road just before it crosses East Street is the cemetery which was established previous to 1800. In 1805 the North Parish chose "Duty Partridge, Ebenezer Cadwell, I. Stebbins a Committee to fence the Burying Yard over the mountain."

452
THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
F. Munsell, Merrick Knowlton, Julius Nash, Eliphalet Hancock, Moses Hancock, Zury Calkins, James Calkins. The house was built about 1800. Judge Marcus P. Knowlton of Springfield, son of Merrick and Fatima (Perrin) Knowlton, is said to have been born in this house. About 1850 or 1860, a man was found frozen to death near this place.
12. On west side. Now owned by Charles M. Calkins. Former owners: Alanson Calkins, Luke Calkins, Mrs. Hancock,
BIRTHPLACE OF DR. MARSHALL CALKINS AND DR. DAVID CALKINS. Now home of Charles M. Calkins.
Dr. Marshall Calkins, son of Luke and Polly (Hancock) Calkins, was born here September 2, 1828. He has been engaged in the practice of medicine in Springfield since 1867, and been very successful. David Calkins, M.D., was also born here.
13. On east side. Now owned by Charles M. Calkins. Former owners: Luke Calkins, - Mixter, who built the house about 1830. It was long the home of Hudson and Harrison Calkins, twin brothers. They were familiarly spoken of as "Hud and Hare."
453
THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
14. On east side of road. Now owned by Evanore Olds Beebe. Former owners: Anne Daniels, Marcus Daniels, Justin Daniels, Elijah Plumley, - Smith, George Mixter, who was a teacher and preacher, and built the house in 1832, for a store and tavern, and it may have been used as such for a short time. Miss Beebe has made the place noted for her large and fine col- lection of antiques and china. Because of the large maple trees which beautify the highway, she has called the place Maple- hurst. (See History.)
A little south of this place the road again turns to the east and continues on to Monson.
There are now no other houses in Wilbraham on this road to Monson.
At the point where the road turns to the east, a road leads off towards the south to Hampden. The houses on that road are:
1. On west side of road. House now owned by Charles M. Calkins. Former owners: A. Calkins, Luke Calkins. The house is now unoccupied and badly in need of repairs.
2. On east side. Now owned by Randolph Beebe. Former owners: Mrs. Sarah Gilligan, Ithimar Bliss, Nathan Mack, Daniel Chappel. Probably Nathan Mack settled here about 1785 to 1790. The first mention of the name in the Vital Records is, "Nathan, son of Nathan and Mary Mack born Aug. 13, 1791."
One day, Mary, the wife of Nathan Mack, looking out of the door, saw her little daughter sitting on the grass, playing with something in her lap. She stole quietly up behind and barely stifled a scream as she saw a large rattlesnake curled up in the girl's lap. She ran to the cabin, caught up a small tub and hurrying back dropped it down over the snake, which had started to crawl off the girl's lap, and drew the child away. The mother nearly fainted as she carried her into the cabin. The father coming home from his work, saw the tub in the yard and picked it up when out sprang the rattler, which he
454

quickly killed with his hoe. The rattles were cut off and treasured by the little girl as she grew to womanhood, and many years later she gave them to her daughter, and they were kept in the family until worn out. The great-great-grand- daughter of the little girl, now lives on the same spot where the log cabin stood, and often relates this story.
This is the last house in Wilbraham on this road.
HOME OF RANDOLPH BEEBE.

THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
2. On south side of road. Fred Lemon, present owner. Former owner, Charles Edson. Part of the house was formerly a cider mill.
3. On north side. Now owned by Leon J. Bennett. Former owners: L. L. Farr, E. A. Day, G. M. Edson, C. E. Edson, M. Edson, B. Edson, W. Stebbins in 1802, Caleb Stebbins, Z. Chapin. This is the last house in Wilbraham, on this road.
TINKHAM ROAD
About one mile south of the Soldiers' Monument on the west side of Main Street, is a road leading off to the west, called the Tinkham road. Probably named after the surveyor who laid it out.
1. About fifty or seventy rods west of Main Street, on the north side of the road is the Adams cemetery. Probably so called, because of the Adams family, who have lived at the junction of this road with Main Street for more than one hun- dred years. The first occupant of this cemetery was Elizabeth Cockrill "Wo Dyed April ye 26 1741 EAG 39." The stone at her grave is near the southeast corner of the original yard, and was erected by her brother-in-law, Samuel Warner at whose house she died. Just beyond the cemetery, on the south side of the road is a cellar which marks the site of a house which was burned about 1870. A little further west, is the site of another house which belonged to Danforth Knowlton, who went up into the Adirondacks as a guide about 1868 and died there in 1898. He inherited it from his father Manassah Knowlton, who lived there about 1850-'60. Former owner, Abel Green.
2. On south side of road. Now owned by George D. Bull, who purchased it in 1908 of Albert A. Phelps, who built the house about 1880.
3. On south side of road. Now owned by Albert A. Phelps, who built the house about 1865, and has occupied it ever since.
456
THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
4. A little further west, on north side of road. Now owned by Mrs. Joseph Meyrick. Former owners: Albert Hammer, Albert Allen, who built on land purchased of Loren Phelps about 1870.
5. On south side of road. Now owned by Massachusetts Commission on Fisheries and Game and occupied by Mr. Mosher, Superintendent of the Game Farm. Former owners: -,-, Loren Phelps, who lived here for many years.
6. A little beyond the superintendent's place, Tinkham Road crosses West Street, and passes the house of Mrs. O'Learey at what was formerly called "The Wesson Four Corners." Theo- dore Gebo carried on the blacksmith business, in a shop just south of this house for several years, previous to 1906.
7. On south side of road. Now owned by Edgar H. Keith and Charles E. Keith. Former owners: Hiram A. Keith, Mary A. Keith, David Clark, - Bennett, Wells L. Phelps, Horace Clark, Harvey Clark.
On the north side of the road, is the site of a house owned by Horace Clark previous to 1842. There are now no other houses on this road in this town.
Road leading east from Main Street, starting opposite Tink- ham Road. On "The Green."
1. About one hundred rods east of Main Street. On south side of road. House owned by Fred H. M. Spaight and built about 1901.
2. Now owned by John Anderson. Built about 1908.
3. On north side of road. Now owned by Clarence P. Bolles. Used for a tenement and stands in what was formerly "Meeting House Lane."
4. On south side. Home of Clarence P. Bolles. House built to replace one burned about 1900. The first minister's house stood some ten or twelve rods northwesterly of this place, and the first meetinghouse was placed some twenty or twenty-five
457
THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
rods southerly of this house. Former owners: D. Brainard Merrick, Pliny Merrick, Jr., Pliny Merrick, Rev. Noah Merrick about 1743. The road formerly continued on easterly to the Ridge Road at the top of the mountain, but was discontinued about 1850 or 1860.
THE STEBBINS ROAD
This is the most southerly road, running east and west, across the town.
1. About half a mile west of Main Street. Place now owned by Mrs. Juliette (Bliss) Soule. Former owners: Albert Bliss, Milton Stebbins, Luther Stebbins. About 1850 Milton Stebbins built a saw mill here, which was used by himself and Anson Soule until about 1905, when a portion of the machinery was removed to equip a portable saw mill. These are the only buildings now on this road west of Main Street. A few rods north of the place where this road leaves Main Street, the road runs eastward up the mountain. About one-third of a mile east of Main Street.
1. On north side of road. Now owned by John J. Lyons. Former owners: John Work, Edward Bliss, David Bliss (?), Philip Lyons in 1768. Just east of the Lyons house, the road formerly ran northeasterly from this place up to the meeting- house on Wigwam Hill. This road was "new laid" in 1768, and altered in 1769. Running northerly "Past Nath. Bliss's Shop-then north by Philip Lyons House,-then about 90 rods to a staddle north of a brook-near 20 rods to a tree at northwest corner of Philip Lyons fence-then northeasterly to a tree on a hill near three rods south of a Bridge-thence to the Meeting House near 100 rods." At the Lyons house the road now turns and runs southerly for about one-third of a mile.
2. On east side of road. Now owned by heirs of James Powers. Former owners: James Brown, David Bliss, Thomas Bliss, Nathaniel Bliss, in 1741.
458
THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
3. On west side of road. A cellar hole which marks the site of the Charles Foskit place. Now owned by Mrs. Jennie (Foskit) Rayen. A little south of this place is supposed to be the loca- tion of the home of Samuel Stebbins about 1735. Here the road turns again to the east and continues on to Hampden line.
This completes the list of farms and homes in Wilbraham.
We trust that these farms may become more and more pro- ductive, and that their "beauty spots" may grow larger and more beautiful as the seasons come and pass away. And that these homes may continue to be dwelling places for happiness and love, and that the cheerful voices of the children within them, may serve to drive dull care away as the years roll along.
WILLIAM H. McGUIRE. Town Clerk and Treasurer since 1908.

THE HISTORY OF WILBRAHAM
This compass is now owned by Alonzo B. Newell of Hampden. It is said to be the one used by Lieut. Roger Newbury in his survey of the line between the Outward and Inward Commons, in 1729.
