18 HISTORY OF THE 



In furtherance of this plan and in order to i^reserve 

 the exchisive legal right, control and possession of this 

 road for private nses, on Tuesday, the 33th day of May, 

 1873, J. P. Shaw, a carjx^nter, was employed and ordered 

 to erect two substantial wooden fences across Glen- 

 road, one on the Walnut avenue entrance and the other 

 on the western boundary line, as before descjibed, and 

 to have them both so guarded as to prevent effectually 

 all [)assing over said roadway from Tuesday at 1.30 

 o'clock r. M. until Friday at 9 o'clock A. M., which 

 order was faithfully executed, according to the certificate 

 hereto annexed, signed by the guards. 



To wit: Alonzo W. Sherburne and Henry Wait 

 alternately stood guard on Walnut avenue sixty-five 

 hours, and James Leary and William Watson alter- 

 nately stood guard on the western division line sixty- 

 seven and one-half hours, as appears by the certificate. 



May 16, 1873. 

 I the subsci'iber on oath depose and say, that at the 

 request of Samuel E. Sawyer and James Haughton, 

 owners of the Sumner Farm, so called, in West Roxbur}^, 

 I built two fences across the private way owned by 

 them, called Glenroad, which leads over said farm from 

 Walnut street in a westerly direction towai-ds Forest 

 Hill street. Both of these fences were completely fin- 

 ished as early as half past one o'clock on the afternoon 

 of May 13th, and they remained standing until the Fri- 

 day following at nine o'clock A. M., when they were 

 taken down and piled up by my order. One of these 

 fences Avas built across the road near Walnut street, and 

 the other near the end of the road toward Forest Hill
