Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Addredss: Delivered at the Opening of the Village Library of Farmington, Conn;, September 30th, 1890 WE have met this evening to open, to the use of the public, the library which the generosity of the citizens and friends of this village has instituted. By way of introduction, a brief account has been thought fitting of an older library founded here a century ago, of the men who organized it, and of the literary taste of their times. There have been other libraries in this town also well-deserving consideration, if time permitted. Seven were in active operation, in the year 1802, with an aggregate of volumes on their shelves, cost ing The most recent library is too well known to you all to need any eulogy or description from me. If the Tunxis Library had not attained its remarkable prosperity, there is little reason to suppose we should have been here this evening. In the year 1795, when the Revolutionary War had been a thing of the past for twelve years, the peo ple of this village found time to turn their energies to peaceful pursuits. The long and bitter contentions in the church had just given place to peace and good will by the settlement of the beloved pastor, the Rev. Joseph Washburn, in May of that year. The Hon. John Treadwell of this town, afterward Gov. Treadwell, was at this time a member of the upper house of the State Legislature, and John Mix, Esq., had just begun to represent the town in the lower house twice each year as certainly as the months of May and October came around. These worthy and public Spirited men, with such assistance as their fellow townsmen were ready to offer them, founded, in that year, the first library in this village of which we have any extended record. They called it The Library in the First Society in Farmington, and this library, with sundry changes in name and organization, has survived to the present time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Houses in Farmington: An Historical Address Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Village Library Company of Farmington, Conn;, May 1, 1895 I have been requested to speak this evening of the old houses of Farmington and of some of the people who lived in them. If my paper be not very profound with great events and much learning, it may perhaps none the less, for a passing hour, revive the fast-fading picture of our ancestors, their virtues and their'foibles. In the winter of 1639, when the town of Hartford had been founded three and one-half years, and Windsor and Wethersfield about the same time, all three towns began to think their broad acres too limited, and applied to the General Court for some enlargement of accommodation. A committee was appointed to View the valley of the Tunxis and report on the 20th of February, but Windsor was busy building a bridge and a meeting'house, and their neighbors of Wethersfield objected to the wintry weather; so the Court added to the committee Capt. John Mason, who had recently rid the colony of 600 or 700 Pequots, and who brought the Court on the I sth of June following to order the Particular Court to conclude the conditions for the planting of Tunxis.

The branch known first as the road to Hartford, and then, as it entered the forest, simply as the Hartford Path, crossed Poke Brook as now, and, climbing Bird's Hill, passed localities whose obsolete names were once household words. The traveler soon reached the Rock Chair, corruptly known as the Devil's Rocking Chair, on his left, and a few rods beyond came to the Mile Tree, near the present remains of the stone-crusher, and opposite the Mile Swamp or Round Swamp, of bad repute as engulfing stray animals in its treacherous depths. Then, leaving Prat tling Pond on his left and the wolf-pit path on his right, his course lay along the Old Road to Hartford, the favorite route sixty years ago. A branch, known of record as the Road to Durty Hole, ran north from Poke Brook to con nect with Clatter Valley Road, and a highway running south, recently named by the wisdom of our borough fathers High Street, and laid out in 1673, was long known as Back Lane.

Repeatedly his Majesty asked, in a long list of questions submitted to the General Assembly of Connecticut, where his dutiful sub; jects bought and sold, and what they presumed to manu facture, and repeatedly he was shrewdly answered. 80 long as diplomacy and downright, wholesale smuggling availed, the crisis was averted, but when the wants of the British treasury, and especially of the East India Com pany, demanded a rigorous enforcement of the laws, the situation became intolerable. To all this was added the threat of vigorous government by lords spiritual as wellas lords temporal, from which they had once for all escaped.
