Christmas of 1906 in Littleton must be recorded as eminently
successful if there is any evidence in happy faces and merry voices at the
Christmas<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>festivals of the various
churches, and best of all, the hearty response of the children to the
invitation for Christmas remembrances for the poor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two heaping barrelsful of gifts were
forwarded from the Baptist church alone to Salvation Army headquarters.</div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The good old English
custom of singing carols on Christmas eve was revived Monday evening, when a
company of about 10 children sang of “peace and good will” just outside many
homes in the west end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joyous their
sweet voices sounded in the crisp December air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A pleasant home
gathering was held with Hon. George w. Sanderson on Monday December 26, when
the four generations of his family, including the families of Chester F.

A. Sanderson, Arthur F. Blanchard, Burton S. Flagg and Charles R. Houghton
centered under the paternal roof to participate in the Christmas
festivities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Following the dinner an
entertainment fitting to the day was carried out by the children when the old
dining room was transformed into Santa Claus land, and the old walls which for
generations have cherished such reunions, once more echoed with happy Christmas
carols and added another red letter day to the memory of everyone present.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

1893- The spirit of good cheer was never more manifestly
abroad in Littleton than upon the evening of Christmas just past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The vestry of the Congregational church was
the scene of one of those social happy gatherings which we love to look back
upon as expressions of Christian fellowship and hearty good will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The children of the parish turned out in full
number, accompanied by their elders whose beaming faces seemed to have taken on
again the enthusiasm of childhood.<o:p></o:p></div>

The entertainment of the evening was furnished chiefly by
the Sunday school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recitations by the

called “Christmas eve at grandpa’s” during the progress of which jolly old
Santa Claus himself appeared upon the scene.<o:p></o:p></div>

harvesting only on Dec 25<sup>th</sup>, this year bore a bountiful crop of
fruit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The branches were rapidly
relieved of their heavy weight, many valuable presents being distributed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Christmas gathering,
Thursday afternoon, at the Unitarian vestry, called out most of the little
ones, who seemed to have a delightful time in games, plays and marching, which,
together with the refreshments, and Christmas trees hanging full of candy bags,
pleased the little ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were quite a number of family reunions here Christmas
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Notably one at C.P. Hartwells,
where we counted twenty members of the family around the festive board; another
at Mrs. L.A. Wright’s , where seventeen of her family sat down to a Christmas
dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. and Mr.s J.W. Ireland
invited their relatives with their children to unite with them in having a
Christmas tree at their home on Harwood avenue, and more than twenty responded
and a very pleasant enjoyable evening was spent in games and plays and watching
the little radiant faces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some jokes
were called from the blooming tree.<o:p></o:p></div>

TORY HOUSE Ca. 1716. Home of Daniel Rogers, Littleton's Second Minister and Tory Sympathizer. During the Revolutionary War, Patriots came to this house and demanded that the Rev. Rogers come out and declare his principles. When he did not appear, the Patriots fired, piercing the front door and stair panel with musket balls. The original door can be seen at the Littleton Historical Society.</div>

photographs of people and places in town during the 1900’s for possible use in
the 300 Book. In particular, pictures related to WWI (1917/18), and WWII
(1940’s) are needed. Do you have good quality pictures of family members who
were in military service? We also need pictures showing places in town associated
with the war effort. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;"><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;">Precursors to baseball have been played for hundred of years, including a rousing game of stoolball at Plimouth Plantation that caused the governor to confiscate the game pieces. It provided Civil War soldiers an outlet in training camps and prisons. It bred gambling scandals, and rivalries so bitter that the NY Giants refused to play against Boston for the 1904World Series. Trace the game's social, historical and professional evolution from the 19th century "townball" to the formation of the major leagues. Not just for baseball fans but for anyone who enjoys history!</span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
During the war of the rebellion there was taken from a rebel officer in Virginia by one of the United States soldiers a very valuable horse of the Virginia thoroughbred or "red eye" breed. He was five or six years old, of a handsome dark-brown color, and very stylish in appearance. He came into the possession of Adj. Gen. James A. Cunningham, who rode him for two years, the animal, on account of his great endurance, superior intelligence, and fearless disposition proving very valuable for army service. He went through the battle of the Wilderness and other encounters uninjured. He was named Phil Sheridan, on account of his efficient war service. At the close of the rebellion Gen. Cunningham sold him to Stephen Longley of Shirley who sold him to Col J.A. Harwood of Littleton for a handsome price, who bought him for a family horse. Col Harwood has owned him for 15 years and appeared with him at Governor's reviews for six or seven years. The horse being about 25 years old, had outlived his usefulness and his owner had him killed with a rifle ball yesterday. He was buried on an eminence near his owner's residence, standing up, and with his head facing the house. A headstone inscribed "Phil Sheridan" will be erected over the grave.Littleton Historical Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11055299200943646062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531055205441606390.post-32133723110887820742013-05-10T17:16:00.002-07:002013-05-10T17:16:48.051-07:00Thursday May 16th 7:30 at the Congregational Church Littleton, MA<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Did you know that the world's oldest poultry breeder, Cobb's Pedigreed Chicks, had its beginnings right here in Littleton? In 1916 Robert Cobb, Sr purchased the Old Pickard Farm off Route 2A and immediately converted it from a dairy operation to poultry starting with two Barred Rock hens- Lydia and Emily. Within four years, he had capacity to hatch 1,400 eggs and within ten years, he was the largest breeder of Barred Plymouth Rocks in New England. In 1947, he began breeding a line of all white birds called White Rocks which provided the foundation for today's pedigreed lines. In 1959, Cobb's became a global company with its first franchise in Europe. In 1974, the company was purchased by the Upjohn Company and in 1986 the Littleton office was closed. Cobb's lives on as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyson Foods, Inc.</strong></span></span></div>

Almost 50 people filled the Couper Room at the Reuben Hoar Library to listen to an informative and lively Introduction to Genealogy by Peter Barbella. Peter's insights into the challenges of genealogy were useful to both beginners and veterans.<br />
<br />
Join us for more fun on February 7 (snow date February 14) for a talk by Henry F. Scannell who is the Curator of Microtext and Newspapers at the Boston Public Library. The BPL is one of the oldest and largest libraries in the country and offers many resources to genealogical researchers: databases, newspapers, indexes, directories and other source materials.

"Gone: The barrels of clothing consisting of fifty-nine articles, books and papers, to the Crow Indians the latter part of last week, was sent by the ladies' sewing circle of the Unitarian church. The clothing sent is well adapted to the young bloods of the Indian tribe."<br />
<br />
<br />
"1888- The Kickapoo Indians have been here and pitched their tent, or tried to, in the town hall, but did go across the street to Sawyer Hoar's house to camp at night. There was some misunderstanding about letting them the hall, but after the pledge was given in a business like way, it didn't seem right to withhold it when they came with their chattels and medicines. They were in Concord two weeks, and sold a thousand dollars' worth of their medicines. They are at Westford for a stay of two days."<br />
<br />
"1889-concerning books purchased by the Library- "At various times books of a religious character, as well as others desired by readers, have been rejected because of opinions set forth, such as the majority of the trustees are not willing to have promulgated from the library. The action of the trustees at their last meeting is especially noteworthy and unwarrantable. Among the books asked for and procured by the librarian for the consideration of the trustees were the following: "The Bible for Learners" by Dr. H. Oort and Dr. I. Hooykaas, "What is the Bible" by Rev J.T. Sunderland, and "Rachel Armstrong" by Celia P. Woodley. These are all books written by well known and highly respected authors, and published with no denominational imprint, the first by Roberts Bros., and the last by Ticknor and Company. There can be no claim that the books were refused because of the nature of the subjects treated, for books of the same kind, but mostly written from a different point of view have been purchased without hesitation. Neither was the objection on the score of expense, for at the same meeting at which these books which had been asked for were rejected, books costing several times as much and which no one had called for were purchased. They were refused on purely sectarian grounds, because the views presented were not considered by the majority of the trustees suitable to be furnished by the library to the people of the town.<br />
And it is the principle here illustrated to which the attention of the citizens of Littleton is directed, and not the citizens of Littleton only, but the public generally, for it is a point of general interest.<br />
Are the trustees of a free public library to be censors of the doctrinal character of the books admitted into the library, and if so, are they to exercise this power according to the theological preferences of the majority?<br />
At the last annual convention of the American library association, held in St Louis, the president of the association said: Soundness or unsoundness of doctrine, whether in theology or philosophy, in the social or natural sciences, is not to be considered by the buyer, even if he thinks himself competent to decide....For the book which will mislead the reader there is an antidote in the book written on the other side" <br />
It is evident that this is the only fair principle upon which to act. Those who are afraid of the effect to be produced upon views which they hold, by the reading of different opinions, must depend for the maintenance of their position, less upon intelligence that upon ignorance and prejudice.<br />
A public library should supply so far as its means permit, a fair proportion of books representing the different views held by its readers.<br />
In the case of the Reuben Hoar library it is plain that this was the plan of the generous founder of the library. It was provided in the terms of his gift that there should be an equal representation on the board of trustees from the three religious denominations having churches in town by which it is implied that the views of each denomination will be equally represented in the books purchased for the library.<br />
There can be no doubt of the unfairness of a method of administration which not only largely confines the purchase of books on disputed subjects to those representing the views of the majority of the trustees but even refuses to receive as a gift certain books setting forth views sincerely held and properly stated which are acceptable to intelligent and responsible citizens of the community.<br />
I should not fail to state that not all the trustees are responsible for the course pursued in this respect but the more liberal members have been overruled by the majority.<br />
I protest, therefore, not only as one of the trustees, but as a citizen and in behalf of other citizens whose rights in regard to the public library are infringed upon. My object in making this protest in our local paper is to arouse in the community a sentiment which shall in future prevent the trustees from being guided by sectarian and theological views in the selection of any books for the public library.<br />
Comparatively few public libraries at the present time are controlled by such narrow and unworthy considerations, and it is not creditable to the town of Littleton that they should in the least degree enter into the management of the Reuben Hoar library, which, in all other respects is a constant source of pride and pleasure to the people of the town.<br />
With reference to the three books above mentioned as rejected after having been called for by respectable citizens using the library, they are all books which I can heartily recommend as written in a right spirit and calculated to benefit those who may read them. I would suggest to any who may like to know on what ground books have been refused as suitable for the library, to examine these for themselves, and I shall be most happy to lend them from my own library to any persons in town who will apply to me for them. w.i. nichols"<br />

"1903 Middlesex Hunt- The fifteen members of the Middlesex Hunt from Lincoln, with the same number of hounds, arrived promptly at Littleton Common the scheduled time, 10:30 Tuesday a.m. Congregating at the junction of roads the whipperin had a chance to show his perfect control of the dogs. After a short rest the party started down the Great Road, followed by a few enthousiastic sportsmen. It was a pre arranged drag fox hunt and the scent was given the dogs at the foot of W. H. Proctor's hill on the left side. The entire party, which included one lady, followed in full chase, the deck tailed hunters taking fences, stonewalls and ditches as easily as if they were a spadeful of gravel. Skirting round the limit of Proctor's land they passed on into the fields of W.G. Brown, the hounds in good lead, the horsemen with their scarlet coats making a brilliant showing as they dashed in and out of sight over hill and dale. The hounds led the chase by a long way when they finally appeared in the rear of Clifton Flagg's buildings, then led the party out of sight towards Nagog pond and the country that lies beyond. Come again!"<br />
<br />
"About town- From an intellectual point of view, Littleton people are highly favored. They should and do stand for the highest and best. Within its precinct are eight organizations for mental growth, progress and excellence. They consist of the lyceum, historical society, grange, the women's christian temperance union, the kings daughters, woman's, mother's and sunshine clubs. These organizations are entirely outside of the church, but abreast with it, while each church within its limits has from two to half a dozen societies for spiritual growth and uplifting. We fancy our sister towns will think we are a great town instead of a little town."<br />

"1926- The 45th annual Thanksgiving Ball of the Back-log club will be held on Thursday evening of next week in the town hall beginning at eight. Brigham and Poole's orchestra of Boston will furnish music. The committee in charge follows: Mr. and Mrs. John Sibley, Mr. and Mrs. George Hartwell, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Prouty."<br />

Sherrill Rosoff and Holly Bradman from the Restored Homestead Co. will be making a final presentation regarding their assessment of the Long Store building. They will share with us the historic significance of the Long Store along with their surprising discoveries. In the second part of their presentation they will have proposals and suggestions for the reconstruction of the Long Store. They will be assisted by David Whitcomb from the Historical Society. Dave took over 200 photographs documenting each phase of the disassembly of the Long Store including the previously unknown "beehive oven".</div>

Anyone and everyone who were involved in the Long Store project and meetings should attend. It should be very interesting! The Long Store presentation will be held on <u>Thursday, October 25th</u> at 7:00 pm in the meeting room at <u>The Littleton Police Station</u> on Great Road (across from the Long Store site).</div>

"The report from the gasoline rationing registration of last week shows 530 ration cards issued. On Thursday the registration did not close at 6 o'clock as planned, for the registrars were kept busy until 9:30. On Friday the schools were closed so that the teachers might have an opportunity to catch up with their school work."<br />

Stamp one from May 5 through May 16; stamp two from May 17 through May 30; stamp three May 30 through June 27. these stamps must be used within the specified time. They can not be carried over from one period to the next"<br />

George A Sanderson, who has that honor, was born in the old Sanderson homestead in the town, July 1, 1863. He is the only son of Hon. George W. and Charlotte E. Tuttle Sanderson, being of the fifth generation of the name born in that house. The Sandersons settled there in 1750, and his mother's ancestors came to Littleton contemporaneously.Littleton Historical Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11055299200943646062noreply@blogger.com0
