Whitridge, then a teacher in our schools. From this, which was a Sabbath school only, grew the present Unitarian society. There were also many Universalists living near Union Square in 1846 and later, who used to attend church at Cambridgeport; a mile or more distant, walking forth and back every Sabbath.

After getting all that was wanted, we returned to the Central fire station. There have been made from this wood threes vases and two gavels. One of the gavels is possessed by the Masonic order, another by the Somerville Historical Society. No more of this wood can now be obtained. Chief Hopkins referred to the grand ball at the incorporation of the town in 1842, and closed by quoting the toast of Mrs. Nancy Thorning Munroe upon that occasion: Somerville, her three hills, Spring Hill, Winter Hill, Prospect Hill. May her spring ever be fresh, her winter ever green, and her prospect ever glorious. Miss Elizabeth A.
