Foreword: &#039;This volume is just another continuation of the work in the fore-going volumes (see 2007a-001, 2007a-002) and represents my hope of throwing more light on the ways, customs, joys and hardships of Rural New England of the past.  I am neither scholar nor historian, but the fascinating tales from older generations that came to me in my childhood, together with the bits I&#039;ve uncovered while searching attics for miniature articles and the generous and ever increasing supplies of information garnered from friends, acquaintances and even strangers have encoouraged me to continue this work which so enchants me.&#039;    Chapters: Country Stores; Seeing Boston for the First Time; Celebrating the Fourth; Going for the Cows; Cider Making; Poultry Raising of the Past; Christmas as I Remember It; Farming as Grandpa Did It; Advertising; Grandma&#039;s Shadow-Box.]]></dcterms:description>

Foreword: &#039;This volume is a continuation of the work in Volume II (see 2007a-001, 2007a-003) and a personal invitation to my readers to journey on with me through the rural sections of Eastern Massachusetts during the 19th century and meet the Old New England Yankees as they worked, played and struggled with their crude, home made implements and iron will to forge this rugged and beloved section of Massachusetts into what it is today.  It was my desire to pass on to others the pleasures I found in searching old records, attic paper piles, family traditions or anything pertaining to our past which has made these volumes and &#039;Steeles Tiny Old New England&#039; possible.  My debt of gratitude to friends, acquaintances and even strangers grows daily as they unsparingly contribute time and material to my efforts and again I wish to express my deep appreciation.&#039;     Chapters: New England Shoemaker; Hilltown Peddlars of the Nineteenth Century; Livery Stables; The Good Old Days; Housecleaning in Grandmother&#039;s Time; Cummington&#039;s Masonic Hall; Blacksmith Shops; Circuit Riders; Donation Parties; The Country Doctor; Sports and Recreation; Going to a Magic Lantern Show.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Certificate - Worthington Committee on Public Safety Citation]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This original certificate on what seems to be parchment paper reads: Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety... recognizes the alertness, efficiency, and self sacrifice of the personnel of the Worthington Committee on Public Safety as evidenced by their prompt rescue of the U. S. Army Bomber Disaster on August 15, 1942, and, in appreciation, awards this citation of merit (to): Honor Roll of Peru Incident: Mrs. Guy F. Bartlett, H. Franklin Bartlett, Miss Mary P. Burr, Franklin G. Burr, Mrs. Franklin G. Burr, Franklyn W. Hitchcock, Ebenezer L. Shaw, Raymond Britt, George Gibson. Dated May 14, 1943; signed by Executive Director F. W. Farley.&#039; On the back is a newspaper clipping describing the event which reads: &#039;Just 27 years ago this month, on August 16, 1942, the residents of the little town of Peru were called upon to take heroic action on short notice. That was at 9:30 p.m., when an Army transport plane flew head on into Garnet Peak on Peru Mountain and burst into flame. Fog obscured the peak, and the pilot and 16 others aboard died almost instantly. Three survived. Folks living nearby heard the low flying plane, and the ominous crash that followed. Rescue parties were organized, but it was impossible to fix the location of the plane. Meanwhile on Garnet Peak, Sgt. Robert Lee of Columbus, Ohio, crawled from the blazing wreck, badly burned. Turning back, he dragged out Pvt. James Fern of Abington, Va. and Pvt. Alonzo Pearson of Windber, Pa., the only other survivors. Surrounded by woods land underbrush, Lee fired his service rvolver to bring help, and started down the mountain despite his severe burns. David Cochrane and Arthur Trotter in the village heard the shots, and set out toward the peak. More shots followed. Cochrane answered with a single shot, and in a few minutes came upon Lee, who had struggled three quarters of a mile from the wreck. Other rescuers arrived, and Lee led them back to the plane. Villagers had to hack a two mile trail through the woods, working 15 hours and more without rest or food until all the dead had been brought out. Later, 18 were cited officially for their untiring work, the promptness of which saved the lives of the three survivors. Talked with Mrs. Robert Steele, one of the Civil Defense plane spotters, who manned the phone at her house 36 hours sending reports to Boston on the disaster. Her late husband was one of the rescuers who broke a path through the forest to the plane wreckage. Mrs. Kenneth Kirchner teel us that townspeople still mark the anniversary at the crash site, where a marker has been placed. they take flowers, and a minister speaks in honor of those who lost their lives there in the service of their country.&#039;    This certificate has been kept in its frame and because of its size is in PTG Box B.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Black and white photograph of Calvin Tower.  Calvin Tower lived at &#039;The Farm&#039; before the Rice family owned it.  He gave the granite foundation for the church from his property.  In the late 18th century &#039;The Farm&#039; was owned by the Kinne family.  See description of the house in Box 01, #34-13n. &#039;The original of this was Mr. Calvin Tower who looks so like [John Greenleaf] Whittier that he was just what the frontispiece needed - I took it in his old farmhouse which overlooked a superb view of the southern hills on one of the roads to West Worthington about 2 1/2 miles from &#039;The Farm&#039;.  Verse: &#039;O Time and Change! - with hair as gray/ As was my sire&#039;s that winter day,/ How strange it seems, with so much gone. / Of life and love, to still live on!&#039; John Greenleaf Whittier.]]></dcterms:description>
