37,000 Flags for Memorial Day in Boston

In 2015  I heard about the flag display of these flays and knew I had to make a trip to the Boston Common to see all 37,000 flags. A moving sight, and I hope you get an idea from the pictures below. 

Memorial Day isn't just another holiday.

This garden of 37,000 flags was planted in memory of every fallen Massachusetts service member from the Revolutionary War to the present. These flags will be on display through Memorial Day weekend for your observance and reflection. Please remember and honor the ultimate sacrifices of our local heroes.

For more information about the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund, please visit www.massmilitaryheroes.org

Each flag represents a fallen service member; please respect the display.

Before the Tourist Sites Open, See Two Historic Sites in Concord During Covid-19

Before the Tourist Sites Open, See Two Historic Sites in Concord During Covid-19 is my title and before this is old news, I'm sharing now. Concord, Massachusetts had some beautiful spring days and I took advantage of seeing the sites, both of which I've seen many times. They were the Minute Man National Historical Park and the Louisa May Alcott Orchard House  There is very little writing, this post is for showing what these sites offered or not for visitors. Normally, the two places are packed with tourists, either by car, bike, or by bus. On April 24, 2021, I drove to the North Bridge Visitor Center (one of two) for information about Minuteman Park. On May 8, 2021, I stopped by the Louisa May Alcott house.

Minuteman National Historical Park

The parking lot was partially full, and you see the sign that greeted me. The beautiful Barrett House was closed to tourists. There was one guide there to answer questions. He told me they might open late in the summer and that I'd be happy because it had been renovated and looked beautiful. It seems as tho their problem was with staffing.

I walked the trail from the Barrett House to the lower parking and saw a few familiar sites.

From the upper-level parking lot on Liberty Street, you walk downhill on a path.

Photos from the lower level walkway from the Monument Street parking lot.

On another day I went to the Louisa May Alcott Orchard House which wasn't open. Although the sign from my last May visit said they would open June 30, 2020. I was the only one there until a father and adult daughter from Michigan showed up and were very unhappy that it was closed. The parking lot is very small and usually is packed with cars even though there is a larger lot nearby. I have been inside for tours several times, but they have never allowed photographs to be taken. The house is open year-round.

This photo was taken exactly a year later on May 8, 2021. I chatted with an employee who told me he thought it would open in August. In the past year, shrubs and bushes were added, and the walkway changed.

This is a collage of all the photos I took in 2020.

Other photos from previous years.

Additional parking is in the lot between the Alcott House and The Wayside Home, across the street.

Maybe This Report Will Help Me Solve My Brick Wall

My ancestor was either born in Canada, New York, or maybe Connecticut, I want to find out where.

If you use Roots Magic7, software for your genealogy database, maybe you discovered the search option called Find Everywhere. I recently came across it when I decided to see who I had living in the town of Derry, New Hampshire before I went to the library. I find it's always more interesting to me if I do have a connection when I write a library report (To date I've done 75 different library blog posts). Remember, the results of this report are based on what you have in your RootsMagic7 database.

When I did the simple report I discovered it listed names of People, Sources, and Places. There are other options you can add, but I just did the basics. The results told me that I have "SECCOMB, SIMMONS / Symmons. Lived detail: Boston, Mass. > abt. 1736 to Derryfield (Manchester), New Hampshire." I knew immediately this person was an ancestor because my All Cap is an indicator to me that this is my direct line. Unfortunately, it doesn't really say he was living in Derry (the area is now Manchester).  In the future, I will always print the appropriate report for every library or repository I visit, regardless if I have an ancestor there. How to do the report is simple, see below for instructions. The Derry library printout was four pages, the Niagara report was six pages. Then I discovered this is a useful tool, possibly to help solve a brick wall mystery for my third great-grandfather, Alexander Farmer.

Instructions: On the top tab of RootsWeb 7 go to Search, then click on the 3rd tab, it opens up as shown below. Type in what you want to find, then hit ok. An example of the first report follows.

My second example may be more valuable to me because there are some libraries or repositories I will never get to because of the distance. As shown below, I was interested in Niagara, New York.  Surprisingly, I had three surnames I wasn't aware that they lived there. The first three are of interest to me: Schramling, Farmer, Lay, Nellis, Stannard and Young. My "brick wall" is Alexander Farmer born 1814 in either Canada or New York. (His second child was born in Niagara, NY.) Alexander married Huldah Lay, and her father Daniel was from Connecticut now living in Niagara, NY. So with a wondering mind, I'm thinking maybe Alexander Farmer was also from Connecticut. Maybe the birthplaces of Canada or New York were wrong. This report, tells me what I have and a whole lot of what I'm missing (you figure that out on your own). The report provided the information below on my six direct ancestors. The red names are those I'm very interested in. I couldn't change the formatting.

FARMER, ALEXANDER F. "Alex" (edit) Note: settling in northern New York. But that too was never substantiated. After a while, I gave up and said enough is enough. Currently, I can only substantiate that the Lays were in western New York (Niagara Co) @1800 and Huldah must have met Alexander @1800-1820 and went with Alexander @ 1830-1840 to Calhoun Co, Mich.

Wakefield Old Burying Ground, Wakefield, Massachusetts

The Wakefield Old Burying Ground is beside Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, Massachusetts. (There is nice information about this cemetery posted on FindAGrave, see the end of this post.) My last visit was in 2000 to find my ancestor's tombstone. On this recent May 2nd beautiful spring day, everybody was out walking and enjoying the day. Fortunately, I didn't have to look too long before I found two stones I was looking for. My Ancestor's stone was easy to spot, five others were not. A list of those relatives is listed below. FindAGrave has photos, even with pictures, I couldn't find them in person.

"The gravestones in this semi-circle were originally located in the town's first Burying Ground, near the present site of the Bandstand.

These stones represent some of the oldest expressions of Puritan gravestone art in New England."

Another sign provides this information.

"The earliest settlers in this town were Puritans from Lynn, who began making their home here in 1639. The slate gravestones in the Old Burying Ground represent our truest link with those first settlers.

The first stone in this line is that of my 9th great-grandfather, Jonathan Poole. The second photo shows his footstone.

Jonathan Poole

Born: Abt. 1634, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts

Died: December 24, 1678, Reading (now Wakefield), Middlesex Co., Massachusetts

Jonathan Poole married Judith Jacobs

They were my 9th great-grandparents.

See my post of March 23, 2010 showing a little sharper image of my photo taken in 2000.

When I saw this Wheelock family stone broken and on the ground, I took an interest because I have the Wheelock and Newhall surnames. I believe this was the first time I purposely took a photo of an upsidedown stone. Why? Because I finally realized I could rotate the photo at home. Why didn't I figure that out years ago?

This is actually the second burial ground of the First parish church. The first was further east in what is now the park about where the bandstand is located. Its stones were moved to this burial ground when it was begun around 1688-9. It was the main burial ground for the town for about 150 years. It contains the graves of many of the towns early settlers and early families including Rev. Richard Brown (1732), Rev. Mr. Wm. Hobby (1765) and Rev. Caleb Prentiss (1803) all of whom served the First Parish.

In 1846 the burial ground was recognized as being too small for the growing town and a number of citizens formed the Lakeside Cemetery as a private cemetery further north and west on Lake Quannapowitt.

There are approximately 600 headstones. The earliest death date is 1681, the latest 1926.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as WAK.801 Old Burial Ground.

This cemetery is referred to as GR1 Old Cemetery, formerly Town Burying Ground in the "Vital Records of Wakefield Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849."

Boott Cotton Mills Museum, Lowell, Massachusetts

The Boott Cotton Mills

Lowell National Historical Park

At the foot of 115 John St.

Lowell, MA

I decided to visit the museum recently because so many things were closed due to COVID-19, and this was open. It isn't every year you get to visit something during a pandemic! Lowell is lucky that we have two visitor centers (the one on Dutton Street has been closed for repairs for quite a long time but is due to open within a month.

When I visited the Boott Cotton Mills Museum in 2016 I wrote a post, https://lifefromtheroots.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-boott-cotton-mills-of-lowell.html but, I didn't mention several exhibits I saw two weeks ago, however, I felt they should be written about. These items are pretty cool, like a real "Mill Girl" dress on display, and a see-through model of four floors of a mill. The model is amazing, I believe you and all children will be surprised. I don't know when it was made, but I'm sure glad I didn't miss it this visit. The next time I go, I'll have to ask a knowledgeable ranger question about the model.

Wear your mask!

One of the signs below states:

"Severe Accident.

About four o'clock, yesterday afternoon,

Lizzie M. Ryan, a girl of twelve years,

working on the Boott corporation, met with

a severe accident, which it is feared may

prove fatal. By some mishap, as she was

sliding down the banisters, a habit which

has foolishly been indulged in by some of

the operatives, she was precipitated down

four flights of stairs and was found at

the bottom in an insensible condition. In

her fall she struck against a railing,

demolishing it. Looking at the distance

she fell, one can hardly conceive how she

escaped with her life. Dr. Plunkett attended

her. Her case is regarded as critical.

Lowell Courier-Citizen, 1869"

(Looking down to the bottom. I took the photo taken years ago. I don't believe you are allowed to climb the stairs now.)

First-floor exhibit. "The museum includes an operating 1920s weave room." "In 1910 the Boot Mills complex contained approximately 3,500 looms. A typical weave room had over 100 looms." Some are actually operating and weaving products for the gift shop. I went back last weekend to ask how many looms were operational and was told between 10-15.

View from a staircase going up to the museum exhibits.

"Mill Girl" Dress.

"Born in nearby Pelham, New Hampshire,

in 1810, Mary Cregg Butler came to Lowell

in the 1820s to work in the mills. She wore

this cotton calico dress which, according to

family tradition, was made from Lowell

mill cloth in the period 1820-1820. While in

Lowell, Butler met and married Aaron

Howard Sherman, the first superintendent

of the Lowell Manufacturing Co. They later

moved to Maine."

(The lights and reflections made it difficult to get a good picture.)

An exhibit of some cloth.

The Mill System. "Each of the mill buildings stood four stories high." "Because the mills produced different kinds of cloth, the layout of machinery in the individual mill buildings differed somewhat. Generally, the cotton moved up the factory, with the initial stages of production performed on the lower floors and weaving above." "During its 120 years of operation, the Boott Mills changed in major ways. New buildings were added. The entire complex was integrated and the buildings physically joined. Water power was used to generate electricity. Machines were improved. The layout of machines and the flow of the cotton through the buildings were redesigned." Unfortunately, I don't know who made this model. The quotes are from the information label.
