Woodson, Who Failed to Reg- ister, Taken From Jail to Hartford —Orders of Mohegan Trail Marshal —Obituary , Paul Chagnon, Mrs. James Caffery—Rev. J. C. Matl s Car Stolen From in Front of Prov- idence Hospital. Giles Everett Woodson, colored, of Brooklyn, was taken from the Wind- ham county jail in_ that place Monday | morning by United States Marshall ‘Hawley, brouht to Danielson, and thence taken to Hartford. 5 ‘Woodson failed to register in the military enrollment on June 5. The failure was deliberate on his part and at the time it created considerable comment in_Brooklyn. ‘Woodson was committed to the jail last Saturday after having been found guilty of theft, of a bunch of keys. A fine was imposed, which he could not pay, so he was committed to jail. Now Woodson will have ghe federal authori- ties to deal with for having failed to register, and is liable to a sentence of a year in jail and will be obligated to register, also with the prospect, as an alternative to the jail sentence, of being forced to enlist for military ser- vice. 2 Woodson has._been something of a character around the town of Brooklyn for a period of several years. In the past he has advertised himself as a hand-writing expert and he has.been a student of law. He failed to register it is said, because he was convinced that the government could not force him to do so. His is the first non-registration case to be taken up in this section of Wind- ham county by the federal authorities. Jailer Albert S. Field said Monday that Woodson gave his age as 30 years. MOHEGAN TRAIL PLANS Orders for Friday lssued by Marshal| | A. P. Woodward. A. . Woodward, who will be mar- shal for the Narragansett tribe, rep- resenting Danielson in the Mohegan trail automobile parade Friday, stated Monday that cars for the Danielson | division are to form in Academy street and be ready to start promptly at 10.19 ¥riday_morning. Mr. Woodward is now conducting a lively campaign to get the Danielson automobile owners into line that this borough may be weli represented in what promises to be a grand opening of an automobile trail that is destined 10 become famous with tourists rrom all_sections of the country. Woodward is anxious to have all car owners who are going to hav their machmes in lme w nle their names with him as early as possible u ek. - He also will be prepared to furnish them with the Narragansett outfit of banners and tomahawks. Automobile parties tha t are going over the trail i nthe special opening have been requested to bring a bas- ket lunch. Mr. Woodward is anxious to have all the cars that are going in place in ademy street by 10 o'clock next Friday morning, so that the line may be formed and made ready to start without an instant's delay when the Webster and Putnam contingents come thsough, heading southward in- Dividends to Red Cross. Attention was called Monday by Clarence A. Potter, chairman of the finance committee of Danielson chap- ter of the American Red Cross to a practice that the society urges be fol- iowed throughout the country, i. e. the turning in through the locai chap- ter of any Red Cross dividends that may be declared by corporations. iTundreds of corporations throughout the country each vear set aside a special dividend for the Red Cross.

OBITUARY . e i Paul Chagnon. i The death of Paul Chagnon, 69, in St. Joseph's hospital a Providence Saturday evening, removes one of the oldest residents of Wauregan and the head of one of the best known families in that village. Mr. Chagnon, a native of Canada, came to Wauregan about half a cen- tury ago and had since made his home there. He had been in poor health for several months and died following a second surgical operation that it had hoped would relieve his condition of suffering. Mr. Chagnon is survived by his wife and eleven children: Joseph N., Bris- tol, Conn.; Mrs. Henry Sylvester, Brockton; Rose, Jennie, Lydia, Molly, Brockton: Harry, a student in a col- lege at Montreal, and Sister Mary Jos- ephine of the order of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Pepper Lake, N. Y. All of the children were at. their father's bedside at St. Joseph's hos- pital, a few hours before his death. The body was removed from Prov- idence to Mr. Chagnon's home in Wau- regan. Mrs. James Caffery. Mrs. Emma Jane Caffery, 54, wife of James Caffery, died at their home on Cottage street. Mrs. Caffery was born in Gloucester, R.

Warner, clerk of the superior court, Monday after- noon, by !‘Eleanor Davison Ream, through her attorneys, Cummings & Lockwoed of Stamford. ‘ The cemplaint sets forth the mar- riage of the plaintiff and Louis Mar- shal Ream, at Hoboken, N. J. on the first day of September, 1911, and the wilful desertion by the defendant on the 6th day of September of the same year. It is also alleged that the defendant owns real and personal property to the value of upwards of $50,000. The elaims are for a divorce, and alimony. The petitioner aiso asks to be allowed to change her name to Eleanor H. Davison. s The writ is returnable before the Windham county superior court, the first Tuesday in September. Personal service was made upon the defendant at the home of h mother in _Thompson, Friday after noon, by Deputy Sheriff George F. Holbrook of Putnam. 3 Younz Ream. who is the son of the ‘ate Norman B. Ream. multi-million- aire, has been much in the limelight and before the courts since his mar- riage with the New.

No One to Prosecute; Four Freed. Because the prosecuting attorney of Putnam, Eric H. Johnson, and his as- sistant, Attorney E. C. Morse, are both out of the city for a few days, it has been necessary to release four pri cners who were arrested for intoxi- cation Saturday and Sunday, and who were being detained at police head- quarters for trial. In order to hav a session of city court it is neces- =ary to have a prosecutor, who signs the complaint against those taken be. fore the court. The law, however, states that a prisoner must not be @etained for more than 24 hours with_ out a hearing. Since it was impos- sible to give the four their hearing as required by law, they were allowed to go by the authorities. LETTER OF ’APP;ECIATIDN Sent to Dr. C. E. Terry, Health Ex- pert, New York. A letter of appreciation to Dr. C. E. Terry, health expert, New York, has been drawn up by a committee appointed by Rev. Albert E. Stone, chairman of Putnam public health committee, and is soon to be forward- ed. Dr. Terry headed the board of health experts that recently drew up the detailed Putnam Health Plan, which was made from data collected in Putnam by Miss C. M. Tebbutt, a public health nurse sent here for that purpose. On the committee were Arthur S. Macdonaid, Rev. C. J. Harriman and Miss Katherine Byrne. In the letter to Dr. Terry, which expresses the appreciation the com- mittee feels for the excellent work ac- complishd. it is written: “We believe your report has awak- ened the people of Putnam to our own local conditions, and has aroused interest along health lines that has lain dormant and, being aroused, we hope, will be of assistance to the pub- lic health committes in its future work.” The letter closes: “We assure vou that it (the work done in Putnam un- der the supervision of Dr. Terry) is appreciated and we thank vou a thou- sand times for the work and for vour plan which, we trust, may be follow- €d in some degree as the financial problem, which is our greatest diffi- culty here, is overcome.” Home From Bowdoin. Donald Johnson, son of Prosecuting Attorney and Mrs. Eric H. Johnson, returned to his parents’ nome Sunday night from Brunswick, Me., where he is a student at Bowdein college. WEDDINGS. Owen—Duffy.

WINDHAM COUNTY ON ; THE MOHEGAN TRAIL When Plainfield Was Incorporated a Town And How It Got Its Name. The opening of Mohegan Train on next Friday is arousing much interest throughout eastern Connecticut. With reference to the town of Plainfield in Windham county, John E. Prior of Moozup writes as follows: In traveling over the Mohegan Trall going north, after ieaving the Gris- wold town line you cross the extreme southeust cornef of the town of Can- terbury. Then you are on Post Plain —so called as_early as 1660. 1t is now known as Rood's Plain and was a part of the “General Field” of ancient Plainfield, and the present highway was the ‘old path that led into the field. Plainfleld was incorporated as a town in_ 1699 and was named by Fitz John Winthrop, gevernor of Con- necticut 1698-1708. After crossing the plain and before rcaching the rail- road at Bishop’s Crossing you cross Post Brook—often mentioned in deeds | the l:lt- of the ancient Jeremiah ouse. Several gigantic elms formerly stood upen the green in front of the house under these rested Lafayette and his troops, Next to the right is the Pequawket - 5chool house and as an indication that the farming districts «re not being depopuiated we would say that whereas a few years ago the schoel was closed because there were no children in the district, now eigh- teen attend this school. A quarter of a mile north from the school house, the’ right, is the ceilar of the old house. ' The Roods were among the first settlers and had one of the first saw and corn mills. The eariy town records has this entry: ‘““Westerly yve 3 day of ve 5 month called May A. D. 1755, these inform that our Friends Peter Harris and Ste- phen Roude of ye town of Plainfield in the Colony of Connecticut to attend our meetings at Westerly and at Exe- ter as Oppertunity seems to present considering the distance of ve way these by consent of ye Elders of our meeting and signed by order _ John Hopfire. John Rebinson, Lot Tripp.” Thi document probably _exempted them from paying church “rates in Plainfield. About three-quarters of a mile further north, on the left is the Branch road, leading to Packer- ville and Canterbury. Near where this road leaves the state highway the tavern of Captain Moses Branch—an officer in the Revolutionary war. The next house on the left was built by Amos Witter some seventy-five years ago and the architeoture and hand- made trim are worthy of particular notice. At the foot of the hill, a few rods north of the Witter house, is the old toll gate house of the Windham Turnpike company. The toll gate at this spot was discontinued some sev- enty years ago. Near by is Mill brook and a few rods down the stream from the highway is where the first saw and corn mill in Plainfield stood. The tail-race can still be plainly seen. The next house on the left after turn- ing the corner (now the home of Hon. Henry F. Newton), was built upon the site of the General John Douglas house. General Douglas was one of the “Sons of Liberty” who responded to the Lexington Alarm and afterwards became brigadier general in the War of the Revolution. The knocker and latch, combined, that adorned the front door of the Douglas house still does service on the back door of the pres- ent dwelling. Just opposite this house is one of the old mile posts, placed there in stage coach days. Th. inseription on it reads, “1¢ M. N. P. which, translated, means it is four- teen miles to Norwich port. The long, two-story wood building on the left, a short distance north of the Douglas site, was the Stringer tavern. It was a noted resort, where teamers stopped to rest and refresh themselves—and incidentally their teams—en route to or from Nerwich or Providence, a century ago. Nearly opposite the old tavern stands the old “White Hall” school house—now used as a dwelling hous>. - It was built soon after 1782 and was one of the trio of Plainfield Academy buildings and was used for the English depart- ment. On the corner opposite the school house was the blacksmith shop of one Congdon, a full blooded Indian —as was also his wife. The last of their children have died within a few Years. We regret that they cannot partici- pate in the celebration of June 22nd, as they did at the 250th anniversary of the founding of Norwich. A few rods further north, on the right, form- erly stood a jarge “tin shop.” This was when tin-ware was all made by hand and a large force of men, (for those days), was emploved in making all_manner of tin utensils, most of which were sold from the old-fash- ioned tin peddlers’ ecarts. The large square house on the left. with double front doors. a few rods further on, was the Dr. Elisha Perkins house. He married General Douglas’ daughter and was a surgeon in the Revolution. He also invented “Vletallic Tractors” that won for him a world-wide repu- tation. He also prepared an inti- septic preparation for the prevention of vellow fever and such was his faith in lits virtue that he spent several weeks among those afflicted with that disease in New York city in 1799—and then died a martyr to his con tions, of vellow fover. The next place on the right, by the brook. was long used as a saw and grist mill and here one of the first tanneries in Plainfield was established. There was another tan- nery a short distance up the brook. and depressions in_ the ground still show the location of the old tan va'¥. On the opposite of road from the mill lived Isaac Coit. Esq. It was he who bequeathed, in 1776 “Two Hundred & Fiftv Pounds, L. Money, to be lon'd out on interest for ever, & ve interest to be annually paid & :mprovid for ve use & purpose of maintalning a Lattin_or Grammar Schoo] in ye new Brick House, in sd Plainfield, more es- pecially for fe use & bemefit of poor children who appears to have a ®ood genius & their parents not able to give them suitable learning.” The house nearly opposite the large, brick school house was the home of Hon. David Gallup, once Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut. Continuing north about half a mile to the top of the hill. in the corner on the right is the old Eaton tavern, It was built long before the Revolu- tion and it was here that the “Sons of Liberty” organized and met. Lafay- | ette and his bodv zuard were zuests of the house and for many years it was one of the famous hostelries of Con- necticut. A little further north, on the left, is the First Congregational Church ‘of Plainfleld. It was built in 1818 to replace one built on the same site in 1786, and which was blown down in the September gale of 18 A few rods north. on the right and in_the angle of the ronds stands “New Hall. now a dwelllng honse, It is one of the buildings erected by the acaglemy propristors in 1752, and was us#l for the Classical department. On | the opposite corner is a brick build- | ing now ownad and used by the Plain- field grange. This building was also erected by the academy proprietors | and was used for Mathemafical de- partment. Tt stands upon the site of the first academy. built Jn 1770, and which was also of brick. About 1775 | the first building was taken down and | the brick used, In part, in building | the present structure. ~Nathan Da- | boll, or arithmetical fame. was on a teacher here. The road that rur down the hill from Grange hall leads to the antientest “place for burying our dead.” Here rest the brave and | noble men and women who came to Plainfield when all about was a wilder- ness. Some of them took part in the Colonial wars, and many of them in the War of the Revolution. Here vou find the ~raves of such mey as Col. Timothy “Werce, the first “Chief Judge of the County of Windbam" and the first Judge of Probate for the Dis- trict of Plainfield, (1747). He was for twenty vears an assisiant In His Majesties’ colony. Here alse are the graves of Rev. Joseph Coit, first pas- tor of the First Chureh of Christ in Plainfield, (1690-1748): Rev. Joe! Ben- edict, D. D.: Alexander Miller, V. D. M., the first pastor of the Separate church in Plainfield; Dr. Elisha Per- kins, and many other men and women of note.
