The occupancy of the Parson Capen House by the Society, the building of a commodious wood and storage shed in the rear of the house, and the selection of a custodian have been the chief events in the life of the Society during the past year. The “house warming” which took place Jan. 16, 1914, was a great success. About 130 persons enjoyed the old fash- ioned supper which was served in the 17th century manner. Members from Danvers, Salem and Boston were present and several from as far away as Connecticut. President Bolten and Secretary Appleton of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities were also present and at the annual meeting held after the supper, they united in praising the architectural features of the new home of the Society and expressing satisfaction at the picturesque and gastronomic features of the old-time supper. The low studded rooms with their heavy timbers over which flickered the firelight and the gleam from the candles in sconces around the walls gave a romantic touch to the gathering and aroused a desire that all present might have been clothed in the dress of the ancient time—the time of Parson Capen. From time to time during the past year evidence has ac- cumulated showing that the claims made in the last annual report that our house possesses many unique features, are well founded. A writer upon architectual subjects, living near New York city, has made careful measured drawings of the house which are to be used to illustrate an article on the building. Meetings have been held here by the Bay State Historical League, the Lynn Historical Society and a section VI ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. of the Appalachian Mountain Club, and in this connection it is suggested that an effort might be made to bring the house and its facilities for a place of meeting to the attention of Historical and Patriotic Societies, Women’s Clubs, etc. that might vary their programs by meeting here, thereby adding something to our treasury and also bringing people to view the natural attractions of our town. The house also was utilized as a place of meeting by ladies interested in furnish- ing clothing and supplies to war sufferers in Belgium and France. Your directors have been extremely fortunate in securing Mr. Henry B. Sheahan, an instructor at Harvard University, to occupy the second floor of the Capen House and serve as its custodian. The present situation seems to be nearly ideal. Mr. Sheahan has rendered his occupancy more comfortable by making at his own expense various desirable improve- ments. The water supply from the old well having proved insufficient your directors propose driving a new well and connecting the same with the house as soon as weather con- ditions permit. In the wood shed recently erected, space has been reserved for the storage of objects belonging to the Society. But we must not lose sight of the desirability—yes, necessity, for a fire- proof addition to the rear of our House in which to preserve and build up a museum illustrating the growth and cultivation of Topsfield and its citizens and for this purpose we should economize our expenditures and invite donations. All over this broad land are scattered buildings having a public utility and which have been erected in memory of the name and fame of former citizens. No more suitable and practical or more lasting memorial can be devised and for less than two ; thousand dollars a fire proof structure could be erected and placed in our custody, forever having linked with it the name of some Topsfield family or individual of Topsfield birth. Miss Clara A. Avery of Detroit, Michigan, has given ten dollars towards the development of an old-time flower garden and their is a probability that further donations for this pur- pose may follow. No meeting of the Society was held in March because of a severe storm but in May a meeting was held in the Methodist ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. Vll Church at which Mr. Leone P. Welch read a paper on “The Ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Topsfield,” which was illustrated by radioptican showing portraits of many of the ministers and early views of meeting house. At the November meeting, which was held in the Capen House, the Secretary spoke informally on “Parson Capen and ye house in which he dwelt.” The present membership is 267, thirty-eight new members having been elected during the past year; two resigned and four members died : Edwin K. Foster, Miss Esther M. Gould. Alphonso T. Merrill and Mrs. Mary L. Perkins. Volume 18 of the Historical Collections has been completed and dis- tributed and volume 19 is nearly ready to send to the binder. Respectfully submitted, George Francis Dow, Secretary.
