To the Trustees of the Soldiers’ Home in Massachusetts, — G e n t l e m e n : — I have the honor to submit my Third Annual report, for the year ending July 25, 1885. At no time during the year have we had a vacant bed in the Home, besides having a large number of applications for admission on file with our Secretary ; but thanks to the Loyal people of our State, our call for help was heard and answered through the Car­ nival Committee, giving us funds sufficient to erect a hospital, thereby enabling us to better provide for our sick comrades, and giving us additional rooms in the main building for the dis­ abled. The experience of the past year has shown me that our organ­ ization is defective to some extent, and I desire to recommend a few changes : — 1st. Our year closes July 25, yet our annual meeting is not held until the first Thursday in November. In my opinion this should be changed, and the annual meeting occur not later than September 1st. 2d. By our act of incorporation, fifteen of the eighteen mem­ bers of our board must be comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, and any vacancy among said fifteen must be filled from the Council of Administration of that organization. The work of the Grand Army has become so great that it requires all the time a comrade can spare to attend to Department duties, there­ fore we find it difficult to select men who can give time and atten­ tion to our work, among the small number from which we are compelled to select. I recommened that we petition the Legisla­ ture to so amend our act of incorporation that any comrade in good standing in the Grand Army of the Republic may be eligible to election as a Trustee. 'Phe past year lias been the most successful in every respect of any since the Home opened. The fact that the Home now shelters 4 one hundred and eleven men, with more than twenty applications on tile for admission, proves that our beloved associate, Gen. Horace Binnev Sargent, was right when lie urged so strongly that it be established. That the people of our State are in full sym­ pathy with our work is proved by the generous response to every call, and the unamimous vote by which funds are annually appropri­ ated by their representatives in the Legislature. In closing, 1 thank you, my associates, for the support you ha\e given me, and urge you to continue faithful and steadfast as you have ever been. I again thank our Treasurer, Capt. George 4\ . Creasev, for his faithful services. IN e realize that on his shoul­ ders rests the largest share of the burden ; to discharge the duties of his office is no easy task, and I urge the Auditing Committee and all others to render him all assistance possible, by promptly attending to duties assigned them. While it is impossible to mention all that have contributed to the support of the Home, we should especially thank the Ladies’ Aid Association for many generous contributions, among which was the erection of the substantial steps which now make accession to the Home much more safe and easy. The total expense of the steps, amounting to $406.45 was borne by the Association. Also the Woman’s Relief Corps of Massachusetts, who have done so much towards furnishing the rooms, and giving entertainment to the men. To Major Lucius Slade, Major Charles G. Davis, and the marketmen of Boston, we are grateful for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and to all others who have in any way contrib­ uted to the happiness and comfort of the men. To General and Mrs. Cunningham, Superintendent and Matron, who, since the Home opened, have never become “ weary in well doing,” we extend our sincere thanks. I herewith submit for your consideration the reports of the Super­ intendent and Treasurer of the Home, which contain valuable information, and which are worthy of your careful perusal. Respectfully submitted, JO H N G . R. A D A M S . President. S uperintendent’s Report, Chelsea, July 25, 1885. Capt. J . G. B.

It has been difficult to obtain reliable infor- mation concerning this tribe, since for most of its acts we can assign no definite reason, and, therefore, cannot trace the underlying conditions leading to these acts. We gather, however, that they were (with a few exceptions) a gentle and peaceful people, whose habits were harmless but amusing. They are, however, well worthy of study on account of their quaint and curious customs, quite different from the customs of any other tribe whose history we have studied. For convenience, we have divided these manuscripts into four periods, known in the language of the tribe as, respec- tively, freshmanyear, sophomoreyear, junioryear, and senior- year — thus taking the tribe from the time of its earliest formation to the time of its fullest development. The followdng lists were discovered in Thf Office, a mysterious retreat inhabited by one of | the deities of the tribe, and consequently held in great awe, especially by the younger members.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: Eyes on Historic East Somerville
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Eyes on Historic East Somerville Meeting Place: In front of the Mt. Vernon Restaurant at 14 Broadway, on the Charlestown- Somerville border. The tour will take approximately two hours. At the end participants are encouraged to continue their exploration of East Somerville and have a bite to eat and drink at one of the many culinary spots in the neighborhood, along Broadway. East Somerville ranks among the oldest neighborhoods in Somerville, tracing its development back before the Town was incorporated independent of Charlestown in 1842. It is also among the City's largest neighborhoods -- bounded by the Sullivan Square section of Charlestown on the east, the Washington Street/B&M rail corridor on the south, the McGrath and O'Brien Highway on the west, and the Mystic River on the north. Its proximity to a major east-west highway--Broadway--as well as the construction of railroad stations at the periphery of the area during the 1830s and 1840s strongly influenced the initial development of this neighborhood. Because East Somerville has historically been a neighborhood for over 160 years, it has a multi-layered built environment that can be explored via a variety of tour routes. This particular tour will showcase the variety of housing options available to families of all income levels, from Greek Revival and Italianate residences of the 1840s and 1850s, to modest mid-nineteenth century cottages, to substantial post Civil War Mansard Style "trophy houses." We'll also view neighborhood 1 houses of worship, and discuss ongoing and proposed renovation projects of public buildings along Broadway.
