I never went to White City - I just knew it was there.
The info I sent earlier came from a booklet I have about
Jolly Cholly's - I got it from the N. Attleboro Historical Society.
I haven't found anything about the stand of 1000 sandwiches, but
I did find a site with people's memories of White City and the area.
A couple of them mention the White City Diner, across the street
with great meatball sandwiches. Also mentioned was
Harry's Famous Pastrami which was also across the street.

I never knew that coffee ice cream or maple walnut etc., were not universal flavors of ice-cream, wow! I love coffee ice cream and coffee milk and frappes.
I have noticed that we here in N.E. have more stone walls than other areas of the country that I have traveled.
We are like England and Ireland in use of field stone for walls and pasture land.
My brother has been a stone/brick mason for years and he can make some beautiful walls of field stone, just walk around and pick the best and use it!

The Merry -go- round I think is in the Riverside part of Providence. I

I didn't realize that those sites I sent weren't hilighted so that you
could just click on them, until after I received a copy of the message that I
had sent.
There are several useful links at any of these sites,
Hope they help you out,

Dear Listers, and Dale..I made a mistake when I was posting this yesterday.
It was a 2 part question and 2 part answer.
Westboro is Worcester County and Marlboro is I think....Middlessex County.
Sorry for the inconvience.

Hi Allison,
Yes its true. The Newport Mansions ARE beautiful. I can even tell you how to
get there. From Hopedale...You drive up ROUTE 16 to Uxbridge. Take a right
turn at the Center...where the lights are. Then take a left turn onto
Douglas Street=Route 16. Go up Douglas Street about 3 miles...Take a left
turn onto ROUTE 146 South...You can travel Down Route 146 South quite a
ways. I know there is another Route to get onto and you stay with the
traffic and MERGE LEFT....You keep traveling on this roa
Alison,
Glad I was siting down! :-)
What a tangled web they did weave! Hahaha!!
I've heard the phrase keep it in the family but...gosh!
Sounds like a good one for a mystery movie or one heck of a good drama!
Hahaa! Although I think I would get confused keeping up with a movie like
that!! Hahaa!!
I guess when it came to love nothing mattered.
Talk about skeletons in the closet! That closet is getting full! Hahaa!!!

Hi Maureen:
There is Chestnut Hill in Millville, and there is a lookout tower on the
top. It is on the Chestnut Street-Millville Road, and the entrance to the
lookout tower is between Legg Street coming from Mendon and Vineyard Street

Greetings,
I wonder if anyone can help me find information on an early Worcester County Congregational clergyman?
I am not related to him, but am doing research on him, as he was among the 21 Congregational clergy meeting in Bradford, Massachusetts in 1810 as delegates to the General Association of Massachusetts Proper, who voted to create the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM).
Rev. JOSEPH GOFFE served the Second Church in Sutton [later Millbury] for about 36 years until 1830.
As the archives manager for the Massachusetts USGenWeb archives I have taken
advantage of a service offered by David and Debra Crosby (and suggested by
Joy)
http://www.genrecords.org/mafiles/
At this page you can add any public domain information for your county with
ease and abandon! I hope you will take advantage of the service and add to
this wonderful compilation of freely available genealogy material. As an
example, take a look at the bios are now available at the Norfolk county

Oh yes! I remember Nantasket Beach very well! In fact I will never forget
it. My stepgrandmother took ,y sister and I on the train from Springfield
to Boston, then over to the ferry to ride to Nantasket Beach for the day!
Ut was very foggy in Boston Harbor, and lo and behold, the ferry that left
ahead of us got stuck on a sandbar, and couldn't get loose. The boat kept
swing back and forth, and with all of that going on, our boat was all but
reluctant to go past the other one, but finally di

I don't think your message made it to the list, so I am
answering here.
I found a mention of the Town Cemetery in Blackstone,
but it didn't say where it was located.
I called the Blackstone clerk a couple of years ago on
behalf of a man in another state, and she was very helpful
to me. I hope someone will be able to locate the poor farm
& where the deceased were buried.

Computer hint
Hint~~~ This is a little hint for those that have a wheel on your mouse.
If you are reading something that the print is small and too hard to see,
you can make the print larger.
Do this: Hold down the Ctrl Key on your keyboard and turn the wheel on your
mouse towards you. As you turn it the print gets larger. It works,
not on email, but on websites!
NOTE: a friend just passed this on to me and it worked on the e-mail she sent
me. Enlarged the text quite a bit. Try it out.
