246
HISTORY OF ROYALSTON
had two children, Silas and Nathaniel. Silas died at the age of 20 years. Nathaniel Bowker married Philenia Wheeler, of Chesterfield, N.

Lucia married Edwin W. Hadley and they had one son, Charles W. Hadley, born July 10, 1862, who married Allie E. Bishop and now lives in Worcester. He is the present proprietor of the Tower House, Falmouth Heights.
Charles Watson Bowker, son of Nathaniel and Philenia (Wheeler) Bowker, was born in Royalston, June 15, 1841, on the Bowker farm, one and one-half miles east of Royalston Center on the Winchendon road. His only school education was obtained at the Old Northeast District School. His father carried on a butchering business in connection with the farm, and was also connected with the lumber business, buying old growth pine timber lots in company with James Wilson and Lyman Stone. The butcher- ing business was carried on very differently at that time from what it is now. As they used no ice at that time and had no electric or gaslight, they had to do the butchering in the night time on account of the flies, depending for light on oil lamps, tallow candles, and more or less on old tin lanterns that opened at one side.
When he was twelve years old, his father put him in charge of a meat market in Winchendon in the Amasa Whit- ney block, and he boarded at the American House, kept by a man named Knight. When he was fifteen years old, he used to help his brother Stephen get the cattle home from the pastures in the daytime and then help him to butcher until 10 o'clock at night. He would then go to bed and his mother would call him at 12 o'clock, midnight, for break- fast. His horses would be all hitched up and his cart loaded with meat, and he would start as soon as he got through breakfast for South Orange, fifteen miles distant, by way of Athol. He would get there about 5 o'clock in the morning, cut up the meat and peddle through the village of South Orange and on certain days through North New Salem, New Salem town, West Orange, Wendall and Erving. The

cattle were native beef bought from the farmers in Royalston and adjoining towns. He remembers one time when going up Salem Hill by what was called Rattlesnake Hill, that his horse stopped in the road and did not want to go along. He was walking behind his meat cart and when he went ahead to see what the trouble was, he found a rattlesnake in the road, which as it glided into the bushes sounded its character- istic rattle. Every other day he went back home to Royal- ston, had two hours sleep ore night and six hours the next. They did not have a labor union at that time. His father was sick for a year or two and he went back and lived at home on the farm. His father died July 22, 1861, when he was twenty years old.
Mr. Bowker was married January 1, 1863, to Nancy A. Sibley, daughter of Joel and Rhoda Sibley. He was in the pail and lumber business in New Boston for a few years with his brothers-in-law, William and Joel Sibley. In April, 1867, he bought out the grain business of J. A. Robbins of Winchendon, and afterward sold one-half interest to Wood- cock & Sawyer. He then moved to Winchendon, and later Woodcock & Sawyer sold out their one-half interest to C. L. Beals and the business was carried on for six years under the firm name of Beals & Bowker. At that time he had two children, John B. Bowker, who was born in Royalston, March 12, 1865, and who for the past ten years has been business manager of the Worcester Telegram, and Charles Alfred Bowker, who was born in Royalston, February 24, 1867, and who died at the age of six years. John B. Bowker was secretary of the Worcester Agricultural Society for several years and City Auditor of Worcester for seven years before entering his present position.
In 1870 Mr. Bowker's first wife died; and he was married September 12, 1871, to Susan Baker Upham. In 1873 he sold out his interest in the grain business, moved to Worcester and went into the produce business. He then began buying real estate, and at the present time has sixty-nine apartments besides a business block at Washington Square and one on Central Street, where he and his two sons, George Arthur and C. W. Bowker, Jr., carry on a grain business under the name of C. W. Bowker & Company, Inc.

THE RICHARDSON FAMILY
According to the historian of the Richardson family, Stephen Richardson was a descendant in direct line from the family of that name who came from the south of England with "Winthrop's fleet" in 1630. Before that date no one of that name had been found here on the shores of the New World. The family is without doubt of Norman origin, as soon after the Norman Conquest one - William Belward - had two sons, the younger from his small size named "Richard the Little." The son of the last named being a favorite name with the Normans, was called John Richard- Son, taking his father's name with the addition of son for his surname. From this came the name and family of Richardson.
With "Winthrop's Fleet" came three brothers of this name, who at once became identified with the church and state affairs at Charlestown, Mass., and afterwards helping to establish the town of Woburn. Timothy, in line of
249
THE RICHARDSON FAMILY
the descendants of Samuel, one of the three brothers, settled in Royalston. He came from Wrentham. His first wife, Alice Wyman, was a relative of the gallant Seth Wyman, who after the fall of Captain Lovewell and his lieutenant, commanded in the bloody "Lovewell fight"; and by some historians, is made the hero of that celebrated personal encounter with the Indian Chief Paugus.
Tradition says "that the wife of Timothy Richardson, then a young woman, rode horseback with her husband from Wrentham, and as she started from home broke off a twig from an apple tree for a riding whip. On arriving at the new home she stuck the twig in the ground where it took root and became a stalwart tree and bore apples for many years." Timothy Richardson and his wife were original members of the First Congregational Church in Royalston. He was one of the first Selectmen elected in 1765, and served at different times for nine years. He was also Royalston's first Representative to the General Court, serving in 1776. He was born in Attleboro, Mass., Oct. 18, 1715 and died in Royalston, Dec. 15, 1801. Timothy Richardson, Jr., son of Timothy, was born in Attleboro, March 7, 1741 and married Sarah Estey. They had eight children or more, all born in Royalston.
