my Dad bought the house on Middle St in 1949 when he sold the house in 1984 the people who bought it had a plaque over the front door stating it was the Franklin B. Jenkins house about a year later the sign was down. I always thought my Dad bought the house from a relative..possibly a McGowan or a Moulton..there is a large M in the cement walk at the backdoor.

It's great to see what you do! I'm especially interested in your work with schools since I am a teacher. Also, I noticed that a Richard L. Watts wrote an article, and it looks as though he was or is a part of your society. My great-great grandfather was a Richard Lewis Watts who died in Clark County, Illinois in 1871, and I'm wondering if Mr. Watts has heard of him. He was supposedly in the Civil War, but I can't find any information supporting that fact.

I am interested in the large LEWIS family which lived in Stoneham from 1880's to 1920's. John "Stanley" LEWIS owned and operated 2 newspapers in the town. He and his wife, Mary (CORKILL), had 13 children, and I'm trying to write a document about them.

I was reading about Stoneham because my great-great grandfather and family lived there from, as best as I can tell, the mid 1850s to some time after the Civil War. I know he was a shoemaker so how fun to see that that is part of Stoneham's history. Now, I don't know if he *became* a shoemaker because of that or came to Stoneham because of the shoemaking, but fun to see, nonetheless. Thanks!

Hello Stoneham, good news for trolley history... the 1927 built deluxe lightweight # 7005 from the Eastern Mass Street Railway is now in the restoration shop. A long road ahead of it for it needs tons of work but the first big step is done.. getting it to the shop for repairs.
