| 36375 | Newspaper unknown Edwin Stone Dead There are few people in Orange who did not know Squire Stone, and to these older residents of Franklin and western Worcester counties he was not a stranger. Of late years he has been in the pension business, and families all about here are receiving government aid through his efforts in their behalf. He was formerly associated with Damon Cheney and they dealt more particularly with the claims of 1812 and 1776. Many years ago he was in the palm le business on no small scale, and amassed some property which we are told was lost in after years. Mr. Stone was a recognized authority on local history. He had a wonderful memory and was seldom wrong in his statements concerning dates and facts. The ENTERPRISE feels that it has lost a friend, for although nearly 80 years old the Squire did not mind climbing two flights of stairs to our counting room, and many an interesting item has found its way into the paper, written from some statement of his. We recall three visits from him within the last 10 days of his life, on one of which he mentioned the matter of giving us a biography of himself. He was several times one of the selectmen of the town, and also held other town offices, including a place on the separate board of assessors. He had been a justice of the peace nearly half a century and drew up many wills, deeds, mortgages, etc., his knowledge of law making him a competent authority in such matters. He was a man of remarkably good health, sickness being almost unknown to him, and in his last years it was no uncommon thing for him to walk to Wendell, Erving or New Salem.

| 36389 | Newton Mass., Friday, November 28, 1924 Abbot Bassett Abbot Bassett, for thirty-seven years a resident of Newtonville, died at his home on Central avenue, on Monday, November 24th. He was born in Chelsea, March 10, 1845, and was a member of the first class to be graduated from the Williams School. He entered the Chelsea High School but left before the end of the first year to enter the hardware business. In 1872 he started a weekly paper "The Chelsea Public", and continued in newspaper work until 1887. His connection with bicycling interests began when he became business manager of the "Bicycling World". In 1886 he started a paper of his own called "The Cycle", which was devoted to the news of the sport. In 1887 he accepted the position of Secretary of the League of American Wheelmen which was organized in 1880, and he held that position up to the time of his death. The secretary-ship carried with it the editorship of the League's official organ known as the "Official Bulletin" which was published until a year ago when failing health obliged Mr. Bassett to stop the paper. He moved to Newtonville in 1887 and was a member of the Newton School Committee from 1901 to 1911. He was always interested in civic affairs though not identified with any clubs except the Every Saturday Club of which he was once president. He married in 1873 Helen E.

Abbot a member of the first graduating class of the Williams School, could not remember the school building ever being called the Williams School. It was always referred to as the "Boys' Grammer School" and Abbot's diploma stated the same. There was only one other grammer school in the city at that time, the "Girls' Grammar School", which later became the Shurtleff School. When the scheme for naming the schools was approved, the names of the tenant farmers of the Bellingham farms were chosen. Henry Howell Williams, for whom the Williams School was named, rented the whole of Noddle's Island for farming purposes. This was the farm that was raided and burned in the Battle of Chelsea Creek in May of 1775. In addition to Noddle's Island, Williams also conducted a dairy and poultry farm in Winnisimmet Village, which he called Howell Place. In 1800, Williams moved to Winnisimmet Village and took up residence in the mansion house erected by Samuel Watts, the original owner. The mansion was on the slope of a hill on the northerly side of Beacon Street between Pembroke and Tremont Street. This hill ran down to a beautiful sandy beach. On December 26, 1802, Henry Williams passed away. Williams' son Thomas, managed the Noddle Island farm until the East Boston Improvement Company took over the land ending a seventy year claim by the Williams family. The Williams School opened in January 1861 and graduated it's first class the following July. Abbot said they were a very happy bunch of boys when they left the "red ark" on Maverick Street and entered the "palatial" edifice on Walnut Street where everything was clean and new and up to date. The big desks with the lifting covers were great for hiding actions from the teacher such as biting an apple or to crack peanuts. Mr. John P. Payson was the Master and as Abbot Bassett stated: "Mr. Payson was a master of the old-school type in the matter of discipline, and that means that he knew no other rule than of the active rattan". The students thought him unjust and unfair in many instances and with time never changed their opinion. Abbot admitted the man had many admirable qualities and as a teacher ws remarkably talented. Master Payson tried to encourage the formation of a debating club after school, but the boys were anxious to get home to dinner and did not relish public speaking. Payson next tried "bean bags" but this was considered a girls' game. Finally, Payson began to teach the boys to sing, something only the girls were taught. This was the beginning of the idea that boys be taught singing in the Chelsea schools. In the words of Abbot Bassett: "I don't believe it ever fell to the lot of many boys to have a more pathetic graduation than that which we had to go through. On Sunday, July 21, 1861, the very disastrous battle of Bull Run occurred. The first big battle of the Civil War ws a decided defeat for the Union Army. Chelsea Company H First Massachusetts Regiment was engaged in it and lost several men. The company was the first to go from this city and in it's ranks were sons. brothers, and husbands. Two days later on the twenty-third of July, and when the incomplete returns of the dead and wounded had been received, we gathered for our graduation exercises. Every person was in a state of suspense and dread fearing later news would bring further disaster. It should have been a time of rejoicing for the students, but it was a most mournful occason". The foregoing was adapted from a story by Abbot Bassett on the fiftieth anniversary of the first graduating class of the Old Williams School in 1861, of which he was a member. Abbot Bassett was the publisher of the Chelsea Public, a weekly newspaper and served as a member of the Chelsea School Board in the 1870's. Mr. Bassett was prominent in the League of American Wheelmen, an organization of bicycle enthusiasts in the late nineteenth century and served as its secretary for a number of years. | Bassett, Abbott (I1428)
