JEWETT CITY) Jewett City people are reading the stories about the strikes and rumers of strikes, and being not particularly con- cerned about the semi-perennial rallroad Dbluff, are interested in the textile sit- uation near at hand. The reason for this interest is that Jewett City is beins, not only systematically canvassed for contributions of hard earned wage money, but Is also being visited by the professional organizers. It came as 2 irevelation ‘to local people to learn this week, that those who come here soliciting for funds to carry on the strikes else- where, get for themselves an astonishing rake-off from each congribution, making often as high as §50 & week.

GOSHEN Batly Goshén Homes was the subject of a talk given at the last meeting of the GoShen Community club. The first homes in Goshen, or Pomakuk, as it was then called, were the wigwams of ths Indians. The numbers of knives, arrowheads and other stone implements show that this was once a favorite haunt of theirs. In 1685 Major John Mason was given a grant of 500 acres of land in what is now the parish of Goshen. His son-in-law, Rev. James Fitch, first paster at Norwich Town, was given 120 acres of land ad- jolning Mason’s tract. If 1692 the “five mile purchase” was made from Owneco. This land was north_and wést of the Fitch and Magon grant and as it was nearer seven miles than five, ineludes a large part of the town. On\James Ran- dall’s farm theérs i¢ still to be seen a marked roek which shows ,the southérn ‘corner of this grant. Jeremiah Mason, Jr., was the first to build a house on the Mason grant. The Fiteh family became prominent in the town of Boarah. The first house in Go- shen was buiit in 1702 by John Fowler. This house remained until 1839 and five generations of the family occupled it. His son, Capt. Dwight Fowler, who was bern here was a corporal in the Revolutionary army and one of Washington's lite guards and.was ifi the battle of Long Isiand. An- other old Fowler house 1s still standing. Several of fhe early settlers still have descendants living here. MeCail, Hinck- 16y, Waterman, Thomas Randall and La- throp were early names. Goshen Hil] was onee important enough to have a store and postoffice, as well as a resident phygician. The house now owned by Andeew Lathrop, with its broad and handsome stalrway, was called the finest on the hill. Rev. Mr. Ripley lived there.” Dr. Osgood and then Dr. Champ- lin practiced medicine here. Coddington Smith was the next owner. Mr. Morgan, who kent the store and postoffice, was brothé-in-law to Dr. Osgood. The ro- mantic ruin which stands on the site of the first church was also a pastors and physician’s home. Rev. Me. Otis lived here. His wife was Dr. Osgood’s daugh- ter. Later Dr. Wattles lived here and his son John became publisher of the Times. Frank Wattles ow owns the place. Goshen boasts one governor, Clark Bissell, who Was governor of onnecticut from 1847-1845. He was born in the| house known as the Deacon Saxten house. which was burned a few years ago. Mrs. Baxton had a beautiful flower garden here. There is 2 pool surrounded by cvergreen which marks the spot once center of the garden. The McCalls were the most nu- | merous family in early times. The Jacob MecCall house was bulit by Archippus Me- Call about 1774. There was a still earlier houge down the Jane back of the present | house. Green McCall purchased the faem | known as the Deacon Jabez MeCall place | in 1788 and built the house there. The | large red house south of Goshen HIil was built by Deacon_ Henry MecCall in 1807. His wife was a niece of Nathan Hale. The Hobart McCali farm was always in that family until recent years. The York house was another old McCall house. The hofise now owned by William Thomas was built by a McCall but was owned by a Hinckley 150 years ago. The F. . Stark house and G. H. Thomas farm were own- ed by Hinckleys at that time. Then as now there was a Charles and a Jaced In that family. They had a grist mill oh the Elliott brook. When this mill was giveh up it Was Toved to the farta yard. where George Thomas uses it a5 a tool house. The 6ld mill wheel lies hear the drive- artists, which The lecture in the PP 40c Pountl Lo i ahrv s way. Later the Hinckleys owned the mill where the Pilcher brothers are now: The quaint old red house now a part of the E. H. McCall farm is sald to be the oldest house now standing in Goshen. Josiah Bartiett from Massachusetts buflt it, 'r:g}( his sons or grandsons were educated/for thé ministry, Shabel and John. Shabel entered Yale first. When he came home at Thanksgiving his ooat was getting shabby. His mother decided he must have a new 6fie, so they sheared their sheep and - then eewed them up in old blankets. They Hirried the wool off to be carded into rolls. The neighbors turned out to_ help.\ Mrs. Betsy MoCall spun the yarn’ After it was woven other neighbors helped make the coat so he had it to take back with him. _Afierwards Captajn Ripley lived here. His adopted daughter, Mary Ann, had the first plano in Goshen. The Waterman farm has al- ways been in the same family, though the buildings are modern. Capt. Andrew Waterman, who sérved in the Revelution, lived here. James Y. Thomas is the fifth generation on that farm. John Thomas the first owner, came from Dusbury Mass. He built the first log cab‘n just back of the present house. His four sons, John, Peleg, Elihu and Malichi, all served in the Revolutiohary war. His son Peleg built the present house about 1770. He drove the first wdgon to church and was threatened with arcest for disturbing the Sabbath. Eliza and Fannie Thomas were borh here but later lived in a house next the schoolhouse. This house was torn down fn 1836. They married two Gulick brothers and were early missionariés in Hawall. Fannle Guilck was called the mother of missionaries. The Lathrop house was built by Andrew Lathrop about 1800, and an Andrew Lathrop still lives there. In_early days each homé was a factory. Butter and cheese wére made, sheep were kept and wool made ,into clothes; stockings were knit and shoes made; Tve and éorn were raised for the family, and steck and the grist mill was important indeed in thosa days. Besides the Hinckleys' mill there was one on the Yantie, the Barstow mill. This mili is gone, but the house remains. Woolen mills: were early built. one by Deacon Corey at Coreyville and one by Henry iGllett at what was latee the rub- ber mill. Andther early industry was brick-making. Good clay was found in the South district and a brick kiln was buiit. Now the houses could have brick chimneys instead of stome. The South district built a brick schoollouse n 1816, It is said the bricks in the Lebanon church were made here. .There was still an Indian family living here in later days. Peleg Judy Simpson lived in. a picturesque little cabin with a riot of flowers in front of it. These storles Mrs. Jane McCall tells. In the old days slaves were kept in several familles in Goshen, evert in the family of Rev. Jacob Elliott. Some fine music was rendered.at the Community club meeting from the Vie- trola, with accompanying music by a quartet of instruments. The next elub meeting, to be held July 5th. is to bs in charge of .Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Knw-_ committee. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Randall and son, A. J. Randall, were in Newtown, Conn., on Thursday attending the wedding of Mrs. Randall's brother Frank Wooding.
