Excerpts from Greenfield, Mass., Newspapers Relating to Deerfield, Nearby Towns, and Other Matters 1792-1872 Excerpts from Greenfield, Mass., Newspapers Relating to Deerfield, Nearby Towns, and Other Matters 1792-1872 Compiled by Amelia F. Miller Transcribed by Margaret E.C. Howland 1 The following excerpts from a sequence of Greenfield, MA, newspapers of different titles act as an index to notices and reports relating to Deerfield and other Franklin County towns. The compiler, Amelia Miller (1926-2003), systematically searched the newspapers looking for items relating to Deerfield as a project funded by HIstoric Deerfield, Inc. She included materials on other local towns, and topics of particular interest to her. These she entered into hand-written notebooks over the course of a number of years. In 2016, Margaret Howland, a volunteer at the Historic Deerfield Library, typed Amelia Miller's notes in a Microsoft Word document, presented here.

    JAMES KENDALL HOSMER HDT WHAT? INDEX JAMES KENDALL HOSMER REV. PROF. JAMES K. HOSMER 1635 In Concord, Samuel Swan rented the Wright Tavern to two bakers, Thomas Safford and Deacon Francis Jarvis. According to the Deacon’s son Dr. Edward Jarvis’s TRADITIONS AND REMINISCENCES OF CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS 1779-1878 (as edited by Sarah Chapin and published in 1993 by the U of Massachusetts P): In 1790 my father [Deacon Francis Jarvis] with Thomas Safford took the bake house which was in the building that was the Wright Tavern in the Revolutionary War, opposite the Middlesex House, adjoining the tavern. Soon Mr. Safford went to Lancaster, and my father carried on the business until 1824 and lived in the house until 1832. He then bought and removed to the farm, lately the property of Col. John Buttrick, and lived there until he died in 1840. The farm was occupied by my brother the late Capt. Francis Jarvis until his death in 1875. Since then it has been owned and occupied by his children, Joseph Derby and wife, and Cyrus H. Jarvis. From the early years of his residence in the town my father owned and cultivated lands sufficient for a small farm in the center of Concord until he went to the Buttrick farm. My mother was Millicent Hosmer, daughter of James H[osmer], granddaughter of Stephen and great-granddaughter of Stephen, who were the descendants of James [Hosmer], one of the first settlers in Concord in 1635. HDT WHAT? INDEX JAMES KENDALL HOSMER REV. PROF. JAMES K. HOSMER 1834 January 29, Wednesday: James Kendall Hosmer was born in Northfield, Massachusetts, a son of the Reverend George Washington Hosmer of Concord.

CORRESPONDING MEMBER OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND OF THE COLONIAL SOCIETY OF MASSACHUSETTS WITH MAPS AND FA CI ^^eStF^^ NORMAL SCHOOL VOLUME I CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS NEW YORK 1908 \^ c-4 COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Published June, 1908 \J . 1 NOTE While in this edition of Winthrop's Journal we have followed, as Dr. Hosmer explains in his Introduction, the text prepared by Savage, it has been thought wise to add devices which will make the dates easier for the reader to follow; but these have, it is hoped, been given such a form that the reader will have no difficulty in distinguishing added words or figures from those belonging to the original text. Winthrop makes no division into chapters. In this edition the text has, for the reader's convenience, been broken by headings repre- senting the years. These, however, in accordance with modern usage, have been set at the beginning of January, not at the date with which Winthrop began his year, the first of March.
