Thomas Barnes and Family from Connecticut

The Barnes family is another old Connecticut line and I am showing five generations of my direct line. In my tree there are 73 Barnes, most lived in Hartford County, Connecticut.  My direct lines are in All Caps.

At the left, if the Barnes Chapel in Bristol, Connecticut, designed by my grandfather, Earle K. Bishop in the 1920s. The Wikipedia site for Bristol provided some interesting tidbits, one was: "it was once a leader in chrysanthemum production and still holds an annual "Mum Festival." Since I need the roots, I think I see a trip in the future to visit the Festival, several museums and a cemetery or two.

My 6th great-grandparents were buried in The Burying Point Cemetery, also known as the Charter Street Cemetery in historic Salem, MA.

This Ground

The First Place set apart in

Salem

For the Burial of the Dead,

and since 1637, known as

The Burying Point,

contains the graves of

Governor Bradstreet,

Chief Justice Lynde, and

others whose virtues,

honors, courage, sagacity

have nobly illustrated

The History of Salem.

If you have ancestors buried in this cemetery, I'd like to recommend an excellent reference book, complete with all the names and a good amount of genealogical information about the individual. The quotes of my Miles and Sarah were taken from this book. In addition there is a map of the layout, including the Witchcraft Memorial. I've used the source below many times, because I have three other ancestors buried there (Stephen Daniels, Simon Bradstreet and John Proctor).

The First Demoulas Market Basket in Lowell, Massachusetts, the Fighting Two Cousins and All the News it's Making

Cropped photo was taken May 14, 2014.

The First Demoulas Market was established in

Lowell in 1917 by Athanasios "Arthur" Demoulas

and his wife Efrosene (Soulemanis) Demoulas.

Immigrants who ten years earlier had arrived

in Lowell from Kalabaka, Greece.

In 1955, the market was incorporated by their

sons Telemachus and George, who expanded the

business to 14 supermarkets before George's

early death in 1971.

Telemachus went on to create on of the

largest supermarket chains in New England.

He became a well known and respected

philanthropist beloved throughout the

acre and the city of Lowell for his

generosity, his vision and his spirit.

He died in  2003 at the age of 82.

The photo above and below were taken behind the house where James McNeil Whistler was born.

 (The marker is in the middle, with red car to the left.)

To read more about this family and the business, see Wikipedia HERE or google Demoulas or Market Basket. It is currently on our Massachusetts news non-stop, and on national news as well. I'm posting this because there might be some people who would like to see photos from two of their 71 stores.

There is a feud between two cousins and apparently, there has been bad blood for many years. Both cousins have the first name, one is Arthur S. and the other Arthur "Artie" T.

As a result of the favored cousin's firing, the employees are extremely upset, as are the customers. People are not shopping in the stores, instead of dragging themselves to the more expensive stores such as Hannaford, Stop and Shop and Shaws as a way to force the other cousin to change his ways. Employees and customers are picketing side by side and many customers are bringing food for the employees. This began at least 12 days ago, and nobody knows when it will end or what the outcome will be.

Customers are taping their receipts from competitive stores on the doors. Market Basket is losing at least 10 million a day because of this.

Unsold bread and other perishables are donated to food banks. There hasn't been produce in the stores for about 14 days, so many of the local farms are doing a brisk business, now selling fresh blueberries, corn and other crops.

 Artie T.'s father would be so proud of him.

This Market Basket picture was all over Facebook after the Super Bowl game on February 2, 2020, unfortunately the Patriots didn't play in. It had been noted that these Patriots, including Tom Brady, were wearing jackets similar in color and style of the Market Basket managers.

Final Update: July 19, 2015:

A year later, sweet as ever

Customers, workers recall Market Basket victory and smile

Clinton name-drops Market Basket in CNBC interview

Sentinel and Enterprise UPDATED:   09/28/2014

Read more: http://www.sentinelandenterprise.com/news/ci_26622370/sunday-notebook-clinton-name-drops-market-basket-cnbc#ixzz3EjhWkvUI
Part of the article reads:

"THE MARKET BASKET fight first made headlines in national outlets such as The New York Times and NBC Nightly News, among others. Last week, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology held a forum that attracted hundreds to hear about lessons that can be gleaned from employees' victory in getting the company to sell to beloved leader Arthur T. Demoulas.

A few workers who attended the forum loved that it was held just across the river from the Prudential Center in Boston, where the Market Basket board held so many of its meetings.

But no one probably expected a former U.S. president to mention the chain's name. But Bill Clinton did in a CNBC interview Sept. 23 at the Clinton Global Initiative.

Clinton was asked by reporter Becky Quick about the American economy, with the stock market soaring as many middle-class families still struggle. Clinton mentioned three reasons for the sluggish job market: a need to raise the minimum wage, need for a better mix of jobs, and the fact that so many companies are using their wealth on dividends or buying back stock."

Bolton Public Library, Bolton, Massachusetts -- Genealogy and History Section

I absolutely loved the Bolton Public Library! My husband and I go past this at least 3-4 times a year, either on our way to the Tower Hill Botanic Garden or to check out cemeteries in the Lancaster, MA area. Wait until you see the inside.

Original library erected 1903, expanded in 2009.
