JAMES BURKE COM- PLETES FIFTY YEARS (Continued from Page Nine) of horses over slippery pavements and muddy roads and the drivers earned the small pay received by them. John Meech was one of the company’s first drivers and remained in the service until his old age. Tom Barber was another, who gave faith- ful service as a conductor. He is still living and resides on his farm in Can- terbury, and George Edmond, now an inspector in the Shore Line company’s service, for many years was a driver of one of these cars. Mr. Edmond has changed but little in the years that bave passed since this period and looks as hale and hearty as ever, he having been promoted some time since from motorman to his present posi- tion. Norwich has now become one of the leading trolley centers of the state and owes much of its prosperity to its fa. cilities for easy intercommunication with adjoining cities and towns. River Traffic Changed. The installation and extension of the trolley-system brought about a mark- ed change in our river traffic, and es- pecially so in the excursion .season. Older residents of Norwich will recall ;| Elijah A. Bill's little steamer Fanny. The Massasoit ran points and - beyond, to various river commanded by -| Captain Wells, who built one of the first houses on Lincoln avenue. The Julia run by Paul B. Greene, who with Jas. Walker, ran for many years the Ella and later on the Gipsy and Os- prey, and other boats commanded by Captain Avery C. Smith, did quite a iively and profitable excursion traffic. Back of them all there was W. W. Coit and the Escore owned by Captain Wm. W. Coit, who at the time, lived in the house back of Church street and dommanding a beautiful view of the Thames, now owned and occupied by ' John Steiner. These steamers were afterward sold to the govern- ment for transports. Captain Coit was in his time, one of the prominent citizens of Norwich and died at a ripe old age. John Breed. One of the quaint characters of Norwich, as he would now seem, was John Breed, some time mayor, and the head of the hardware business above mentioned. He built Breed Hall, giv- ing it his name, which was one of the “show” buildings of Norwich, in his day, and the only place of enter- tainment of any size in the city. It may be of interest to some reader to know that the residence of Mr. Breed was the house .afterward occupled by Mnyor Harwood, and that in the yard t that time stood the great elm, which fterward o ihe enlargement of the square, was at least half way across it, measuring from Washington street to Breed hall. Mr. Breed was a strik- ing figare and might bo seen ‘walking daily from the house to his place. of business. A tall man of good propor- tion, his white hair, worn very long, would make him noticeable on any occasion. In no portion of the city, it We except possibly East Mai have greater or more nmrked el been made than in Washington square. Formerly a narrow dingy junction of three streets, it is now one of the most spacious squares in Norwich. At Norwich Town. But few changes have been made in the northern portion of the town and the green at Norwich '.rown‘.flwlm ures Wfl‘dm e same aj nce many years ago. Some of the bulldings, many o them, luve changed owners and oc- ‘The Rock Nook Ho'm:. that mlendld charity, oocupylng a former residence of its founder and benefac- tor, the late Moses Pierce, was. then unknown. The old Sterry mansion is used by the King's Daughters, merged wihh the Johnson Home foundation and a new schopl-house has been erected. A new building too, occu- pies the site of the old Fuller store and the residence of the late Col. Wait has been beautified by altera. tions. Probably the most striking change in residence-property is that made by the late Senator Palmer, who taking the old Thomas house on the hill op- posité the Gilman property, convert- ed it into one of the most beautiful and ornate residence structures in #iis part of the state. It is a pity that So genial and courteous a gentleman as was Wm. H. Palmer, might not have lived longer to enjoy with his family, the comforts of his beautiful home. Backed Up His Faith in Norwich. No one citizen has done more in the erection of substantial buildings ln Norwich, than has James B. S non, who evinces his faith in growth and prosperity of Norwich b}' investing his money in real-estate and making marked improvements there- on. His eonvu-lon of one of the mean- est neighborhoods in N “Trayelers Rest” the Preston Bridge, and in the place of surrounding-hovels, putting up the Marguerite building on their site, en- titled him to the #hanks of the opm- munity, and folowing these'with the many improvements made by him on Lis Water and Comerce Street pro- perty, together with two of the larg- est and best structures in the city, the Shannon and Majestic buildings, make him a leader in the forward ad- vance of his city. Such are some of the memories of Mr. Burke, a law-abiding, helpful cit- izen, going about for half a century, in tle performance of duty, and render- ing the best service of which he was capable to his fellow-men. The Bul- letin felicitates “Jim” Burke upon the completion of half a century of labor, tempered, we trust, by many hours of genuine pleasure and it extends to him the hope that his genial face may | Thi be seen among us for many years, whether he shail remain in nervlca, or retire to quieter if not not more con- genial pursuits.
