To the Selectmen of Medfield: I hereby submit to you the report of my work for the past year. In December, 1929, I received orders from the Director of the Division of Animal Industry, State House, Boston, Mass., to make the annual complete census and inspection of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats, kept in this town, also the condition of the stables in which they are kept, this inspection to be com- pleted not later than March 1, 1930. During this examination, I visited 35 stables in which are kept 309 cattle, 278 swine, no sheep and 2 goats. The animals all appeared healthy physically and stables kept in very good condition. Of these 309 cattle, 192 were Tuberculin tested under State and Federal supervision. There are a number of more cattle under supervision at this date. During the past year, 5 dogs were quarantined for Rabies. These dogs had bitten different people and after a period of 14 days, not showing any signs of the disease, were released. About September 1, 1930, a dog was taken sick and owner sent it to a hospital. At the hospital the dog showed signs of Rabies and later died. September 4, 1930, I quarantined 2 dogs that had been in contact with the dog that had died, these dogs were inoculated to prevent Rabies and at the expiration of 21 days were re- leased. October 17, 1930, 8 swine were quarantined for Cholera. These swine were inoculated to prevent this disease but were too sick at the time of treatment and later died. Yours truly, GEORGE S. CHENEY, Inspector of Animals. 10 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS General Highway Department Appropriation $15,000.00 Joel H.

  • Mr. Ralph Wheelock, Puritan
    MR. RALPH WHEELOCK PURITAN A PAPER READ BEFORE Connecticut Historical &ocietp NOVEMBER ?, 1899 BY REV. LEWIS W. ^ICKS, M. A. A Member of the Society and a Descendant of Mr. Wheelock WITH AN APPENDIX BY THOMAS S. WHEELOCK PUBLISHED BY REQUEST ^artforb The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Company 1899 PREFACE ;O giving my consent to the publication of the following paper, after its presentation before the Historical Society of Connec- ticut, I was influenced by a circle of Wheelock friends, to whom I was led to make known its contents several weeks before the public reading. But it seemed to me that the paper should not go out alone, inasmuch as Mr. Thomas S. Wheelock, who has spent much valuable time in tracing out the origin of the Wheelock family, had facts in his possession which cannot but be of special interest to the subscribers for this booklet. I therefore requested him to prepare the subjoined appendix, which will be found to contain impor- tant fundamental facts about the lineage and immediate descendants of our common ancestor that will enable present-day descendants, who may so desire, to make independent investiga- tions along the lines of their own particular de- scent. But in sending out this little production " we have had no idea of publishing a Wheelock in the common of the term Book," acceptation ; nor of making any pecuniary profit out of our iv Preface conjoint enterprise. Our chief object, (mine in permitting the paper to be published, and Mr. Wheelock's in adding his appendix,) is to lay before the descendants of Mr.

  • The Wheelock Family in America
    THE WHEELOCK FAMILY IN AMERICA WHELOK 1285 1637 - 1969 COMPILED BY WALTER T. WHEELOCK PREFACE This genealogy was written principally for the current descendants of Ralph Wheelock, dating from his arrival in America. It is my hope that future generations will add the necessary dates as the years pass. Our family has a distinguished heritage with qualities of intelligence, courage, and determination that should continue to be an inspiration for future generations. The research for this book has covered a period of 14 years. My mother, Harriet Tobey Wheelock, was always interested in family history and we started compiling the letters together with a published version in mind as far back as 1955. It could not, however, have become a reality without the letters and records loaned to me by Leon H. Smith of New Paltz, New York. Among the many who have helped make this compilation possible, have been my family, John M. Dauray of Uxbridge, Mary G. and Perley C. Wheelock of Woonsocket. Their enthusiasm and interest for this research have been bound­ less. I would also like to thank those who so generously loaned me the photo­ graphs that are reproduced in this publication. This has been a challenging and rewarding avocation for me and with sincerity and great affection I would like to dedicate this genealogy to my mother, Harriet Tobey Wheelock, and to Leon Hills Smith.

  • Burning of Medfield by Indians
    EXERCISES AT "!HE Bl-CENTENNIAL CODEMORATION OF THE BURNING OF MEDFIELD BY INDIANS KING PH IL I P'S WAR, FEBRUARY 21, 1876. • • • MEDFIELD: PRINTED BY GEORGE H. ELLIS. NOTE. At a late meeting of the citizens, J. B. Hale, George Cummings, and James Hewins, Esquires, were chosen a Committee to take suitable measures for the publication of the address, poem, and other- exercises at. the Bi-centennial Commemoration of the burning of Medfield by the Indians, in King Philip's War. This Committee, at their first meeting for consultation respecting the object of their appointment, were tendered by Deacon Cummings the generous· offer to assume the entire-..e.]{_J?ense of the publication in view. It is, therefore, to his deep interest in the occasion, and earnest desire to transmit a record of it to future generations, and his continual endeavors to uphold the honor and promote the permanent welfare of the place of his residence, that the citizens are now indebted for the completion of this work. MEDFIELD, June, 1876. PREFACE. Among the memorable events of the famous war of King Philip against the early settlers of New England, was the attack upon the village of Medfield, in February, 1675. It was probably conducted by a party of the Nipmucks and Wampanoags, a body of Indians who were allied by Philip for the destruction of their common enemy. It was. prosecuted with all the wile and cruelty of savage warfare, and resulted in the burning of a large part of the dwellings in the village, and the death of nearly a score of the people.
