Beverly Farms 
Quite a gathering was on hand 
Thursday afternoon at the auction 
sale of the estate of the late Isaac 
Wood Smith on Hart street, which 
sold after some spirited bidding for 
$5500. The name of the purchaser 
was not given out. 
Workman started a few days ago 
demolishing the stable on the estate 
of Frank B. Bemis, known as the 
Whitman estate, upon which site will 
shortly be erected a new stable much 
larger and of handsome design. 
Roberts & Hoare of Manchester, have 
the building contract, while a Boston 
concern has the contract for the ex- 
tensive improvements to be made on 
house. 
The McNeil property at Beverly 
Farms which was intended as a site 
for the new parochial residence in 
that place, will not be used for that 
purpose, as the deeds had not been 
signed prior to the death of the late 
Fr. Downey, and the owner has de- 
cided not to sell. In the spring plans 
will be made by Fr. Walsh for a new 
residence. He does not contemplate 
the erection of a new church building 
in Beverly Farms, but will probably 
make additions to St. Margaret’s 
church and such improvements as are 
required to meet the needs of another 
summer season. 
Buys Estate at Hamilton 
Important among the real estate 
deals of the week was the purchase 
by Reginald C. Robbins of Pride’s 
Crossing Crossing and Boston, of the 
A. L. Devens estate at Hamilton, 
known as “Lone Tree Farm,” on 
Brown’s hill. There are about 90 
acres of land. Mr. Robbins and the 
other heirs to the large estate at 
Pride’s, it will be remembered we 
recorded a few weeks ago, has sold 
the estate there to Frederick C. 
Ayers, but evidently the well known 
North Shore family does not intend 
to leave this section. 
Brakeman Killed 
Fred E. Welch, of West Rochester, 
N H.,a brakeman on the 8.17 train 
from Boston for the Gloucester 
Branch, Wednesday morning, was 
crushed to death in the North Station, 
by being caught between the rear end 
of the last car and the bumper. He 
had worked on the Gloucester Branch 
only a few days. The train was in 
charge of Conductor Jos. Sullivan, 
who was substituting for Conductor 
Goss. 
BEVERLY FARMS 
The fire department has been called 
out twice this week to put out what 
at first appeared to be the starter for 
good-sized fires. The first was last 
Saturday, for a fire ina large stack of 
hay in the rear of Patrick Barry’s 
residence on High street, in close 
proximity to several dwellings and 
other buildings, and, owing to the 
strong wind, needed prompt attention. 
It was checked with little loss, except 
the hay. The other was a brisk blaze 
which in some unaccountable way got 
started in a pile of rubbish near some 
lumber, in the rear of James D. Hoo- 
per’s carpenter shop on Valley street. 
The quick work of the department 
soon stopped its progress, and only a 
small loss resulted. 
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Publicover and 
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Publicover were 
among those who attended the meet- 
ing of the ‘Get-together club,” at 
the parish house in Beverly, the first 
of the week. There was a supper 
and entertainment and one of J. F. 
Kilham’s phonographic concerts. 
William Batchelder 
William Batchelder passed away at 
his home on High street, Beverly 
Farms, last Saturday evening and was 
buried on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. 
Clarence S. Pond officiating. Inter- 
ment was in the Farms cemetery. 
In the death of Mr. Batchelder, 
Beverly Farms looes another old 
time citizen. Born just over the line 
in East Wenham, in. February, 1822, 
he has spent practically the whole of — 
his 82 years and 8 months at Beverly 
Farms. Upon matters pertaining to 
the happenings of the place years ago, 
Mr. Batchelder was, in his late years, 
often consulted, and his knowledge 
and description were very clear and 
concise, and he was an interesting 
man to talk with. In the controversy 
concerning the boundery line of the 
property of the West Beach Corpora- 
tion his testimony for the corporation 
was of considerable value. 
The pallbearers at the ~ funeral 
were: J. M. Publicover, Eben Day, 
Benj. Osborne and Andrew Standley. 
The five surviving sons live in 
_ widely separated parts of the country, 
William and Elmer in California, 
Ernest in New Mexico, Foster in 
Alaska and Chas. F. in Beverly. 
Three daughters also survive, Mrs. 
Henry Wyatt in East Wenham, Miss 
Hannah Batchelder, who lives at the 
Farms, and May, who is married and 
lives in Boston.
