IS/0 cucxoL THE JONATHAN HEALD HOUSE Built about now the residence of 1800 - 1802 Dr. Lawrence K. Lunt Lieut. Jonathan Heald 6 , born August 28, 1757, son of Lieut. John and Elizabeth (Barrett) Heald, married, first, Sarah Brown who died July 12, 1788, and second, Hannah French, April 2, 1789. She died August 3, 1859. He built the big brick end house which was commenced in 1800 and completed in 1802. The date is on the cellar wall in the mortar. He was called " Squir e Jock", and his son Jonathan, born 1782, was called "Jock". 3a™*XBZa*J' «JLie4*3Ac-'*-lS'!ta. Squire Jock built the small gambrel roofed house close to his own for his son Jock who married Betsey Andrews, November 23, 1806, about which time it was completed, so that the new family could go there to live. This little house, now Dr. Lunt^s office is still called the "Jock house". Jonathan Heald ' was born in the brick- end house and also his sitter Sarah 7 , as well as Hannah French Heald, their half sister. * Sarah Heald went to boarding school in Billerica and there embroidered two "needlework" pictures, both of which are proudly possessed by her grand-niece, Miss Nellie Grace Taylor of Lowell, Mass. They were done some time in the last part of the 18th century. Hannah French, Squire Jock's second wife, "was a genteel lady from Billerica, very dainty and very correct in her manners. She lived to be ninety-one (d. 1859) always living under the two beautiful elms, now gone". Hannah F. Heald, daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (French) Heald married Amos Nutting, Dec. 24, 1812, and apparently in- herited the house from her parents. The Nuttings lived there until it was sold to Major Benjamin Franklin Eeald, who seems to have acquired the entire property including the gambrel roofed house and both farms. In the days of Cap't. Jonathan 6 the big house was a Tavern and probably not two tenements as in later years. "Major Frank" (B. F. Heald) born Oct. 25, 1809, was brother to Thomas Heald, called "Captain Tom" (b. March 2, 1795) who lived in the next house west, although not a direct descendant of Jonathan &. Major Frank lived in the western half of the big house, probably going there about 1838 and remaining until after the death of his wife in 1889 when the family scattered. He sold his portion to Captain Waldo Wilson who had married Sarah Park- hurst, his grandniece. The east half of the house, with farm going with it, was purchased from Squire Jock's heirs by William Parkhurst who had married Sarah Elizabeth Heald, 1845, daughter of "Captain Tom" and Betsy (Adams) Heald. Their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Park- hurst married Captain Waldo Wilson in 1871, at which time an ell was built on the eastern end of the house, (although the two - —^f families lived together. Captain Wilson, being a carpenter also put on a bay window in the front room and after the death of Major Prank and his portion of the house was purchased by Captain Wilson, the second bay window was added to match the one already made. As Captain Wilson's interests spread, he not only did carpentering, but also farming, hiring many men. The family be- came so crowded it was found necessary to make a change, con- sequently about 1885 or 7 Captain Wilson purchased the Jock House and lived there for about two years. Eventually the eastern part of the big house came to Mrs. Wilson by inheritance and the western part was purchased by her husband and in this way the building again became a one family house. Captain and Mrs. Wilson left the Jock house and moved into the larger one. Several adjoining farms were purchased, one being the "Captain Tom" place, where only the barn now remains. This enlarged property became a stock farm with numerous and varied activities. Captain and Mrs. Wilson adopted a son Ernest Wilson, who married Nettie 0. Barker and after a time they bought the Blanchard place later sold to John Risgin. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wilson and their two children, Waldo and Ethlyn, went back to the Y/ilson farm and made that their home. Captain Wilson died June 5, 1917, aged 69 yrs., 11 mos. and 5 days. His widow and son's family, after remaining for a year or two, moved to the new Wilson house on School Street near the village center. This place was built by Capt. H. W. Wilson and given by will to Mrs. Nettie Wilson. Here Mrs. (Capt.) H. W. Wilson died Jan. 22, 1928, at the age of 81 years, 3 months and 11 days. After Mrs. Nettie and Mrs. (Capt.) H. W. Wilson left the stock farm Mr. Charles E. Davis of East Acton bought it. He took off the large eastern ell and moved it away for a house. In December 1928 Dr. Lawrence K. Lunt bought the farm and converted the buildings into a sanitorium for psychopathic patients and rechristened the estate "Valleyhead". The brick-end hip-roofed house has been entirely restored to rich Colonial simplicity, and is now the Doctor's residence. The bay windows were removed, small paned windows put in, a Revolutionary period doorway and other features added. The gambrel roofed house in which the fifteen children of Jonathan (Jock) and Betsy Heald were born is now the hospital office and Captain Wilson's huge barn built in 1890 has been enlarged and transformed into a most attractive hospital. The Jonathan Heald house which probably was at first a one family house, was, as we have seen, divided into two tenements, each half being separately owned. It was used as a tavern some- time In its early existence, perhaps "by the Nuttings or Healds, or both. The front door v/as the common entrance and the hall ran back only as far as the staircase extended, with a closet under the stairs. Back of this central hall was a passage way connecting the two halves of the house and from which a second stairway went to the second floor. These stairs were exceedingly steep and it was here that "Squire Jock" fell and broke his neck. The cellar stairs led from this back passage way also. On either side of the front door were large high posted rooms with dadoes and ornamental carved mouldings. The wide moulding above the dado was carved in a diamond and groove pattern. The eastern part of the house had the most paneling but there was a better finish in the western part. On the fire place walls and in the back rooms there were wood panels. The floors upstairs were stenciled In a scroll pattern which for many years were covered with carpets. Long French windows were in a portion of the house which have since been shortened and bricked up to match others prevailing in the rooms. The original twenty-paned windows were nearly all removed by Captain Wilson and four paned ones substituted, but still later have been replaced by the Colonial style. Not many years ago the big eastern ell made by Captain Wilson, was removed by Mr. Davis; the bay windows were removed by Dr. Lunt. The hall was made to extend clear through the house and many in- terior structural changes have occurred from time to time. The exterior of wood with two brick ends, is that of a Colonial mansion with a hip roof, this being the only building in Carlisle with a roof of this kind. The two massive elms which overhung the house have since succombed to the ravages of the elm tree beetle and the havoc of lightening, and had to be removed. The farm, composed of five smaller farms, probably all old Heald property, also contained a part of the area in which the Copper Mines were located. The Heald family impoverished them- selves in an attempt to develop them. Prom 1840 to 1850 these mines were worked at intervals by the Henry N. Hooper Co. of Boston who used this ore in their bell foundry. This firm in 1858 made the bell, weighing 1090 pounds, now hanging in the steeple of the First Parish Church and I* am told that a portion of the ore was from this mine. The shaft at the mine was sunk to a depth of 220 feet , equivalent to the height of Bunker Hill monument. The ore was hauled to Boston by ox team proving to be an expensive procedure. Attempts were made to erect a smelter near the mine but serious objections were encountered as the fumes would Injure vegetation. The project was found Impracticable because of the high prices asked by the owners of adjoining farms when the company sought to 3 buy them. The mine was abandoned when copper was discovered in Michigan which would supply their needs . During the years this mine was operated, Major B. F. Heald was the General Superintendent. A small village sprang up about the shaft - a store, blacksmith shop, miners' dwellings, shaft house, etc., none of which remain today. Several entrance holes to the mines can still be found, which, after they were definitely abandoned, beoame a home for vast numbers of snakes. In the springtime companies of men used to wend their way to these entrances to kill the snakes as they emerged from their winter quarters. As many as forty have been despatched in one day, in this manner. The house erected for Mrs. Glenn is not far from one of these prolific holes. * When Mr. William Parkhurst resided in the brick-end house he had his blacksmith shop on the lot where Mr. Hans Monson now has his home. Some of the old shop timbers are incorporated in this dwelling. Hear the road, partially imbedded in the sod, is the circular stone, broken in two, which he used as a wheel-set. Benjamin Franklin Heald came to this house from the Carr- Peterson house (Cap't Samuel Heald place) where he was born Oct. 25, 1809 and had lived many years, also where his father Thomas and his grandfather Samuel Heald had lived. He was educated in the public schools of Carlisle and Lowell and at West ford Academy. He married Susan B. Kimball of Lowell, Mass., Jan. 14, 1838 and they had a family of ten children. He was first a teacher, then he devoted his time to farming, meanwhile being interested in town and church affairs. He held office as chairman of the Carlisle School Board and for seven years was on the Board of Selectmen, beside holding various minor town offices. In 1848 he was the Carlisle member of the House of Representatives to the State Legislature. For twenty years Mr. Heald was in the State Militia, receiv- ing commissions as Ensign (Aug. 2, 1830), Captain (May 5, 1835) and Major (May 16, 1836) until his discharge April 24, 1840. This latter commission gave him his title "Major Frank" by which he was well and favorably known as long as he lived. Even today, forty years after his death, he is invariably referred to as "Major Frank" . In 1880 he wrote a history of Carlisle for Drake's History of Middlesex County. He died July 27, 1892 in Somerville, Mass., his wife having passed away in May 1889. Both are buried in Carlisle. Their" son Benjamin Frankl in Heald, Jr., D.D.S. of Lowell, Mass., erected the Heald Memorial Arch at the entrance of Green Cemetery, giving it to the town in memory of his parents. (See Bull's History of Carlisle, p. 32b) Captain Horace Waldo Wilson, son of Horace Newell Wilson of Billerica and grandson of Daniel Wilson who was an official of the old Middlesex Canal before the days of the railroad, oame to this house after Major Heald. He was great grandson of John Wilson, a Scotchman horn in Scotland, who at maturity measured six feet and seven inches in height. Captain Wilson's mother was Sybel Spauld- ing, daughter of Deacon Edward Spaulding of Billerica who descended from Benoni Spaulding, one of the original settlers of Chelmsford. Captain Wilson was considered -a, shrewd business man and it was said of him that no matter what work he undertook, he never lost money on it. He conducted a wood and lumber business besides his big dairy farm from which at one time he was shipping fifty cans of milk to Boston, daily. Mrs. Nettie 0. Wilson, his daughter-in-law, has several in- teresting pictures of the Jonathan Heald house when Captain Wilson owned it end the estate was called the Wilson Stock Farm. One shows the house and building, quite different from the ones we see today, with the big elms which have now disappeared; another show- ing the barn and a large number of teams of horses belonging to the estate. Captain Wilson was in the Militia for twenty-eight years, a member of Troop F cavalry, advancing through the several grades of non-commissioned officers. He was made Captain Dec. 21, 1888, serving five yecrs, being the first officer to be placed on the retired list after the retirement law. He was greatly interested in social and lodge work being a member of the Masons of Concord, the Middlesex Pomona Grange, the Carlisle Grange, and the First Parish Church. He was conspicuous in local politics and always interested in the welfare and progress of the town. On Memorial Day 1907, Captain Wilson presented to the town of Carlisle, the Chapel in Green Cemetery for the free use of all "of whatever creed or nationality". It is furnished with all necessary equipment for burial services and was dedicated as a memorial to his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs . Horace Newell Wilson Mrs. Nettie 0. Wilson, while living in the Jonathan Heald house with Mrs. Waldo Wilson, after the Captain's death in 1917, became the proprietor of the Carlisle Canning Kitchen in the Long Block in the center of the town, where she did a thriving business in food conservation during and after the World War. In 1918 she canned 2320 glass jars of fruit and vegetables and 450 tumblers of jellies and marmalades. Her delicious products brought added business and her record for 1919 was over 7000 jars of fruits and vegetables and 1000 tumblers of jellies and sweet conserves. In 1930, after extensive changes in her rooms at the Long Block she opened a most attractive tea room which she operated only one year/ using the historic name "The Wheat Tavern" Tea Room. .After the Wilsons sold the Jonathan Heald place and moved to the village, Mr. Davis the new owner made desirable changes before Dr. Lunt came into possession of the property. Since then the place has been remodelled under the direction of a prominent architect. A very efficient ensemble has been evolved for its new existence as a hospital plant. The colonial atmosphere is maintained amid the most modern equipment . A tennis court and swimming pool have been built on the "fifty acre lot" across from the Hospital. From this lot, in or about 1888, the destructive cyclone apparently started which created such devastation in Lawrence, Mass. The whirlwind which began here, raised into the air and scattered tons of hay, jumped in an arc to the Goodrich Hodgman farm (now Benson P. Wilkins residence) where trees were uprooted, then took another leap to Billerica where it did more damage and finally reached South Lawrence where much havoc was wrought with a great loss of property. Dr. Lunt has enlarged his holdings in several directions bordering on this original Heald estate. The Judah Wheeler place, more often called "The Judy place", about half a mile back from the road in the first pasture between the home of Miss Carrie Robbins and the Dr. Fre^mont -Smith house, has been added to the Valley Head property. A cabin has been erected for social and sporting activ- ities and the big door rock of the Wheeler house has become the hearth-stone of the fireplace. A bridle path goes from the Hospital grounds to the former Red Lion Tavern, now Dr. Fremont-Smith's, over an almost forgotten road. Another interesting spot to be found on Dr. Lunt's enlarged property is an old Indian burial place, if tradition is correct. It is located back of the Drummy house on the "Lovejoy Lot", once owned by Dexter Fnittimore and probably earlier than that by the Lovejoys. Curiosity led Mr. Whittimore and his brother to open this ground, from which they recovered scattered bones and a tomahawk which it is said the brother now has. Arrowheads have been found along the stream and beside Buttrick's Pond. The Captain Thomas Heald farm now incorporated in Dr. Lunt's estate, has nothing left to show the location of the buildings except the stone cellar foundation walls on the north side of the road" and the delapidated old barn on the south side. This property was merged in the larger farm so long ago that the name is seldom heard today. Carlisle Coype*r-~hVi iries_ Reverting: to the topic of mines of New England into which hard headed people of hereabout have from time to time put much money, and drawn but little out, I have lately dug- from the Lowell Journal and Courier, of Sept. 28, 1848, a note in which ye ed. evidently In- tended to encourage the promoters of a local enterprise In which he presumably himself had faith. I am not censuring a predecessor for credulity. Even at this date a snake editor cannot be sure that the presumably low grade copper ore to our immediate southward may not carry metal enough to be worth working, some day. Such mines as those of Massachusetts cannot at present compete with better ones in our western states and under the famous Canadian pre-Cambrian shield, a granitic cover which prevented the glaciers from scraping off metallic ores in Ontario province as they did in New England. After all the big de- posits in other sections have been worked out the day may come [ when mining engineers oan take seriously the copper mines of Car- lisle, the nickle mine at Dracut, the silver mine at Newbury and ! many another gash in the New Eng- land llthosphere into which our foolish ancestors poured their hard ■ earned money. •*• As regards the Carlisle copper mines my Courier notice discloses that the time of their opening about coincided with the gold discoveries j in California. Our grand-parents j and great-grand-parents of the late '40's could take their choice — either to sell all they had and join the I I gold diggers of the Sacramento val- | j ley or to invest in shares of the - promising copper pits adjacent to i Tophet Swamp. Where the money went to in most of either cases is not now doubtful. It landed in Tophet. Here, meantime, is what j ye ed. of the Courier saw when he I went down to the "CARLISLE COPPER MINES. "We had the pleasure yesterday to pay a visit to the copper mines recently discovered in Carlisle. There are three shafts open and working, upon three different veins j — one, the Hooper mine; another, I the Lombard mine, and the other ; the Mead mine. They are owned by the gentlemen whose names they respectively bear. The first is opened to a depth of 40 feet — the Second, about 20 feet— the third about 18 feet; and they appear to show a degree of relative richness equal to their respective depths; indicat- ing, we suppose, an increased wealth of ore as the depth progresses. "We are not familiar enough with mining matters to give any opinion upon the value of the new discovery of mineral resources, but there is proof enough of veins of ore, and indications fully justifying further investigation. Some sales i of ore have already been made at a profitable rate, and the owners feel confident of soon making the busi- ness regular and handsomely profit- able." *»* Having contributed to the record the above bit of information oon- cerning copper mines of whose his- tory I know nothing, for I must doubt a Boston Herald story of some time ago to the effect that the abandoned pits are places where copperhead snakes now breed, I await to learn from some antiquari- an of the Carlisle Historical society more about these 19th century en- terprises. They perhaps were hon- estly enough projected, though I seem to scent something deeply sus- picious in the Courier's statement that the further dowa one dug the richer the ore appeared to be. That sounds like a come-on for the boobs Of '48, and I suppose that relatively to population about as many of ihem were born then as now. Carlisle's copper, at all events, costly to produce in commercial quantities though it undoubtedly existed, might at least now burnish up into an entertaining feature story for our suburban page, if some one were minded to unearth the facts as carefully as the late Alfred P. Sawyer once did those of the famous fraud of the Dracut nickel mine, his story to be found among the publications of the Low- ell historical society. My feebly alarmist lines ot a year or so ago concerning the perils of the snake-Infested parks of metropolitan Boston find abundant confirmation in Ditmars' chapter on "the poisonous snakes of North America." So, too, does it appear that a Boston ^feature writer's story of the copperheads of Carlisle may not be entirely fable, even though it was absurd of him to suppose that they are numerous thereabout because of the presence of a small percentage of copper in the rocks of the Carlisle copper mine. Even a Sunday sob sister, to say nothing of a sob brother, ought to know enough about snakes to know that copperheads don't feed on cop- per. Because this venomous snake, however, inhabits ledgy places it is quite possible that by Curious coin- cidence there are copperheads in the vicinity of the old copper mine to our south. Tet, for that matter, I would wager you are just as likely to find a copperhead among the ledges around the Dracut nickel mine or the Newburyport silver mine or the Francestown soapstone mine, or one; of the numerous Harvard mines.

Last December Dr. Lunt purchased the property in Car- lisle known as the Heald Farm, and since then has been very busy with its altera- tion. The architect chosen was a local man, Mr. William Kussin, and he has re- ceived many gratifying compliments on his success with the plans. The large house, the smaller one, and the barn have all been utilized, and the result is a group of build- 1780, by Captain Johnathan Heald, a prom- inent citizen of Carlisle; its brick ends, beautiful paneling, graceful cornices and dadoes are, of course, all preserved; fire- places which had been bricked over were restored, layers of paint scraped off in various places in order to get down to the original wood and, all in all, whatever cor- ruptions had crept in to ruin the antique structure have been removed. Bath rooms, new heating system, and all mod- ern improvements have been added to the entire group. A garage has been built, also squash and tennis courts, a bowling ffiis VALLEYHEAD ings interesting both historically and ar- chitecturally; the larger house serves as a home for Dr. Lunt and his family; the smaller one is his office, where his secre- tary, Miss Sally Locke, will be located, and the large barn has been made over into living quarters for his patients. The buildings are completely remodeled, inside and out, and yet remain the same in char- acter as they were a century ago. The dwelling house was presumably built about alley and a shooting gallery; in the pa- tients' house is a large room on the sec- ond floor where indoor games such as badminton can be played; weaving and carpentry will serve to bring tired minds back to their normal condition of balance, and every convenience has been thought of and incorporated. The surrounding country is as beautiful and varied as New England can be; the environment is perfect. B, 1929 NEW HOSPITAL HAS OPENEDJN CARLISLE Dr. L. K. Lunt Transforms Old j Heald Farm into up-to-Date Sanatarium. Dr. Lawrence K. Lunt, who in De- cember, 1928, purchased the build- ings in the south section of Carlisle, formerly owned by Capt. Horace "Waldo Wilson and conducted by him as the Wilson stock farm, has trans- formed the buildings into a hospital, the Valley Head, which recently was opened as such by its present owner. The farm was in its early time owned by Capt. Jonathan Heald, a prominent resident of Carlisle, and the- buildings now comprising the hospital were erected, according to records, in 1780. During Capt. Wil- son's ownership of the farm, many alterations were made, the main house being enlarged, and a largo barn, probably the largest of any similar building in Carlisle, was erected. Upon the acquirement of the prop" erty by Dr. Lunt, he immediately set to work to plan to convert the build- ings into a hospital. AVilliam Kussin was the architect employed and he and the owner have received many compliments on the success of the plans. The main house, which is a large structure, and the smaller one known as the Jock House, together with the large barn, have all been utilized in completing a group of buildings about which there is plenty of his- torical connections, while architec- turally they stand out in beauty, fol- lowing almost a year of work and the expenditure of a large sum of money. Dr. Lunt has taken over the main house for a residence for himself and family, and the Jock House will serve as the physician's office, where his secretary, Miss Sally Locke, will be located. The large barn has been transformed into a hospital and liv- ing quarters for patients. While th? buildings have been remodelled in- side and out, they remain the same in architectural plan as in years past. This is particularly true in the char- acter of the main house with its brick ends, beautiful paneling and graceful cornices, which have been all preserved; all the fireplaces have been opened up, and nothing that would detract from the antique touches about the place has been dis- turbed. Bath rooms, new heatinsr system and much by way of modern improvements add immensely to thfi group of buildings, which henceforth will be known as Valley Head hos- pital. A garage has been built and squash and tennis courts, bowling alleys and shooting gallery are additional fea- tures, all carried out according to plans made by Dr. Lunt, who con- sidered these details as essentials to making the hospital conform to a high standard along this particulai line. In the hospital part on the sec- ond floor is a large room wheie in- door games may be played. The sur- roundings of the buildings, set in a pretty country location, are as beau- tiful as one can find in the many pretty spots throughout New Eng- ] land.

John Wilson, was a Scotchman, born in Scotland, and at maturity measured 6 feet 7 inches in height. With knowledge and experience, he ■was engaged as the first superintendent of the Middlesex Locks and Canal com- pany from Hookset't to Charlestown. His successor was his son. Daniel, rath- er of H. N., who held the same position for many years, and always went by the the name of "Boss Wilson." Mr. Wilson, the subject of our sketch, was in the wood and coal business on Paige street, Lowell, for many «. years, under the firm name of Wilson & Dix. He drew the first load of lumber for the mill at the bleachery. Sept. 20, 1S45, Mr. Wilson married Sybil, daughter of the late Deacon Ed- ward and Olive Spaulding of Billerica. Eleven children were born to them as follows: H. $. Wilson (Capt.), resi- dence, Carlisle; Mrs. Clara Bartlett. Billerica; Mrs. Fannie Boynton. Low- ell; Mrs. Lizzie L.

Mrs. Wilson is the daugh- ter of the late Edward and Olive Spaulding. Her father was a leading citizen of Billerica, a selectman, and tor many years a deacon of the First baptist church of this town. He was a descendant of Benoni Spauld- ing who was born in 1691, one of nine children of Edward Spaulding. one of the original settlers, and a leading cit- izen of Chelmsford. His son, Andrew born 1652, married Hannah Jefts the third child and first girl who was born m Billerica. It is a coincidence that Dea. Edward Spaulding and his daughter, Mrs Wil- I son, should both spend 50 years of ' married life, which was noted in either case by a golden wedding day The aay surely was a golden one on the last occasion. <a.J x>e^casia*-JZ* ZhLul. --yU-dtfUaSz, &£■ -A&Ssr&oc Q&juU2,cL>zjzsl<. , ~JjLu_ Erf- Uj&cryr, Uj^^jz.

H. Wilson. f1l7 Carlisle, June 6. In the death of Capt. W. H. Wilson, which occurred at his home last even- ing, the town loses one of the oldest and most prominent of its residents. The end, though not unexpected, came as a shock to the entire neighborhood and the sympathy of his host of friends goes out to his family. He was 69 years, U months and 3 Jays old. Capt. Wilson was a conspicuous fig- ure in the political life of the town. He was also very active socially and his thoughts were always centred on the welfare and progress of the com- munity. He was a commander of CAPT. W. H. WILSON, Commander Troop F. Troop T\ Chelmsford cavalry, and up to a few years ago, , was among the most active of the veterans of the troop. He was also a prominent mem- ber of the grange and other societies. About a 'year ago he was confined with an illness; which he bore with a cheery spirit and courage until his death. Capt. Wilson leaves besides his wife, Sara, one son, Ernest C. Wilson; two grandchildren, Ethelyn and Waldo Wilson and three sisters, Mrs. Frank S. Bartlett of Billerlca, Mrs. D. W. Robbins of Carlisle and Mrs. Fred Da- Vis of Lowell. BOY BREAKS '^ GROUND FOR NEW CHAPEL WALDO D. WILSON. The picture above represents the breaking of the ground for the new chapel in Green cemetery, Carlisle, by Waldo Danforth Wilson, grandson of Capt. H. W. Wilson, the donor. The work is progressing favorably, with a competent and efficient force of workmen. The foundation is laid, the window frames in place, and the brick walls, rising, give promise of most sat- isfactory results. Warren L.

John Heald 3 married Mary Chandler He died 1721. Mary Chandler was the heroine of the bear shooting story. Through her Mayflower ancestry can be traced. She is buried in the East Cemetery, Concord. IV. John Heald 4 married Mary Hale Her name is also recorded as Heald, for her people had changed the name from Heald to Hale, and she was a relative of the man she married. V. John Heald 5 married Elizabeth Barrett In the Drury chart he asserts John 5 also married Elizabeth Wright, but in the absence of dates, this has been hard to prove. John Heald 5 was Lieut, and participated in the Battle of Concord and Lexington and in Soouting Expedition, Oct. 1777 (See Shattuck's History of Concord, p. 356.) VI . Jonathan Heald 6 married 1st Sarah Brown and 2nd Hannah French He was "Squire Jock". Sarah Brown wrought a sampler when eleven years of age which Miss Nellie Grace Taylor of Lowell now owns. Hannah French, the second wife, is buried near the Taylor lot in Green Cemetery, Carlisle. She lies beside her son-in-law, Amos Nutting, and his wife, parents of Hannah Page (Nutting) Heald who was the mother of John and Addie (Heald) Harris, the donors of the tall family clock to the Gleason Library. This tall clock belonged to the Nutting side of the family. It is possible that Hannah French Heald owned it, but this is not certain. The William Heald clock went to Arthur Robbins. Miss Taylor has the Nutting Bible (^xn^^^^^^^^ ^ Jonathan Heald 6 was only eighteen years of age when the Revolution broke out. His father was paid a bounty by the town if he would allow him to fight as a Private. He was afterward a First Lieutenant. He became a Captain also. He built the brick-end house and also the fambrel- roof ed house for his son Jonathan ' . Jonathan 6 was "Squire of the town, first selectman, first town clerk, and chairman of committee to go to the Legislature to ask that the town of Carlisle should be incorporated, which was done in 1780, though not invested wiitLfull powers until Feb. 18, 1805. ^ta^-dL JQ-c./t-iSilfe.

Jonathan ' was town clerk of Carlisle and his desk is now in the possession of Miss Nellie Grace Taylor, his grand- daughter. The Sheraton tambour top was lost or destroyed. It stood for years in his son-in-law's shoe shop but it was not saved. The lower part was in the house and was therefore handed down. VIII. Martha Heald 8 married David B. Taylor At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War the Taylor family remained loyal to the British Crown. Their Tory sentiments made it expedient for them to leave the Colonies, so they removed to Canada. David B. Taylor was born in Canada. IX.

Lunt The little gambrel-roofed house now used as an offioe by Dr. Lawrence K. Lunt at "Valleyhead" has been spoken of as the "Jock House" for many years. The Healds first oame from the valley of the Tweed on the border line between England and Scot- land and the Scotch "Jock" was reminiscent of the nicknames in that section. "Squire Jock" built this little house almost under the eaves of his big hip-roofed home, for his son Jock when he married Betsey Andrews, daughter of Captain Issachar Andrews, an officer in the Colonial Army. This was in 1806. Squire Jock, or Jonathan Heald 6 , the builder and first occu- pant of the larger house (now Dr. Lunt's residence) had quite a landed estate, partly by inheritance and partly by purchase; he retained the English feeling of wishing to provide a beginning for his sons. Jock (Jonathan 7 ) his namesake and first born, was about to marry, but he wanted him near, so he built this house. The gambrel roof was destined to hover a large brood of offspring, for no less than fifteen children came to this couple, all born in this house. In the course of time these children became scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and were ancestors of a numerous progeny. One son Marshall Heald built the house on Concord Street, now the residence of Dexter C. Whittemore, although he died quite young. His sister Martha (Heald) Taylor lived there with her family quite a few years. (See Whittemore house history). Jonathan Bradford Heald, another son, built the house on Concord Street, now occupied by Mr. & Mrs. Ludwig Holm. The three maiden daughters, Ha-mrtaLk, Merriam (or Miriam) and Ellen, re- mained in the little house after the parents had died and all of the other members of the family had gone elsewhere. Issachar Heald, sone of Jonathan and Betsey (Andrews) Heald, was an inventive genius. His niece, Miss Nellie Grace Taylor of Lowell, says: "Joined to the gambrel-roofed house was a shed where my Uncle Issachar had his tools. There he made a model of a locomotive engine when he was very young which was said to be very perfect in every detail. I think it was patented. I do not know what became of it, but I have a piece of the "oab" upon which is painted two crossed flags, the shield of the U. S. and the words "Epluribus Unum" . This little engine, run by steam on an improved track was a very great local attraction". Mrs. Mary A. Reynolds, now ninety-two years old, tells me she* saw it and it was tremendously interesting; people came from far and near to see it operate. Issachar Andrews Heald was the first volunteer from the city of Springfield, Mass., to the Civil War. He went with Governor Sprague of Rhode Island as leader of the band. Miss Taylor thinks it was the first Rhode Island Infantry. Later in life he lived In Washington, D. 0. and in 1905 was there awarded a prize for the best vegetable garden. He died in Washington, May 27, 1911, aged 82 and his obituary states that he was not only a soldier but an author of both prose and poetry. Miss Taylor further writes: "The family long, long ago must have had some means, but they thought they had discovered copper baok of this house, and they used to say that money was spent in a fruitless effort to sink shafts and work mines there. {See Bull's History of Carlisle, p. 242). Then the three maiden sisters were left alone in this little house and because of their lack of business knowledge they all died quite poor. The place passed into the hands of Major Frank Heald so that he owned both houses at one time. The Aunts left a very valuable lowboy in the little house. I suppose they discarded it. It was the property of Betsey (Andrews) Heald, my grandmother. About the year 1874 it was seen in Dr. Benjamin Heald's dentist's office in Lowell, Mass. Afterward I asked to buy it, but he said 'I sold it for a fabulous sum to a oollector in Wilmington'. There was also a Sheraton desk which had a tambour top and was used by Jonathan Heald when he was town clerk, but that too, I believe has gone" . The industry of this brave mother of fifteen children ex- tended to hand weaving. Several linen towels which she labori- ously made in this way are now in the possession of her grand- daughter (Miss Taylor) and also a few made by her great grand- mother, Sarah (Brown) Heald. About 1885 or 1887 the Jock house became the property of Captain Waldo Wilson, who lived here for two years, after which in 1889 he purchased the west half of the big house and came to occupy the latter place. The small house was used as a home for some of the help on the stock farm and has had a succession of tenants who remained only short periods of time. The crocuses which bloomed in the snow under the windows for Betsey Andrews Heald, doubtless brought much cheer to many of these, although the little house was now only an abiding place, not a permanent home. In December 1928 the place again changed hands. Captain Wilson had died and his family had moved to the village. Tenants came and went. When Dr. Lawrence K. Lunt of Concord, purchased the entire Wilson estate, comprised of four separate farms, this little building became the office of the new sanitorium. Changes have been made to adapt it to new uses. The side door was en- tirely eliminated and the interior rearranged, yet it still re- tains its small house aspect and its gambrel roof - the only old house in Carlisle to have a roof of this kind. There is a persistent rumor that the Jock House once stood on a foundation in the Ricker pasture on Bellows Hill. Members of the Heald family tell me the Jock House was built where it now stands, as related in the historical sketch. There was an v- w old house on the Bellows Hill site, once moved to the site of the Valleyhead Hospital before even the Wilson barn stood there and which disappeared when the barn was built. The cellar hole remains on Bellows Hill and quite a large tree is growing in it now. No one remembers who lived in the house when located there It seems possible that Nathaniel Taylor was there before the Ricker house was built. Mr. George Heald says an Esther Heald lived in the house after it was moved to the location where the Hospital now stands. Owners of the Jock House. Jonathan Heald The three maiden daughters Major B.

Aside from the battle-ground cem- eteries containing the remains of the soldiers of the great American rebel- lion, perhaps no state contains so main- nameless, unknown graves as California. Since my residence here. a schoolmate and sister of the subject of the following lines requested me to search out and mark the grave of her brother, George YV. Adams, a native of Carlisle, Mass., who was killed by the caving of gravel and bed-rock while mining at Grizzly hill, Nevada county, California, April 6, i860. Guided by her information, obtained from the nearest postmaster to that lycality. 1 found a cluster of unmarked graves on a hill overlook- ing the village of Cherokee, but was unable to distinguish between them until directed to the supposed right one by an old resident who was at the burial. Having found a slab of gran- ite near the roadside, I borrowed a hammer and cold chisel from the vil- lage blacksmith, and cut thereon the usual inscription and set it over the grave. This was the best I could do under the circumstances and during my necessarily limited stay, for the satisfaction of his relatives eyes will never rest upon the spot where, alone, his life went out, nor the cold bed where he rests in dream- less sleep. Rest, friend, unci may Nevada's soil Press lightly 'round, above thee; While ever faithful memory comes From friends who knew, to love I 'Twas for their sakes tor whom you You came, all danger scorning; Though lost to sight, yet still we ho To meet you in the morning. Our truest, friend is mother earth. When we have done our dut v : She clothes our graves, as best Bbe ■ ;i :> In green, impartial beauty ; And flowers will bloom — though friends come not — The humblest grave adorning; Yet if we in the future live. We'll meet you in the morning. If 'neath the sod in dreamless sle( |j Shall end life's best endeavor, We'll fight life's battle bravely tin 1 1 And if no more for ever We meet, as oft in boyhood's years. When brighter Ik. pes seem dawning, We, too, can rest as peacefully In night that knows no morning. Though near thee in thy far-oil' hum". Though long since we last parted, Though all may yet, as sweetly step The false and the true-hearted Though here no kindred come to weep, Death gave no kindly warning; Yet if we live beyond the night. We'll meet vou in the morning. —I. A. Heald. (c& "}■ F (o(S> 1^62-- bt^^vbcuctfic^.^- L)jiJLUx*o»- ■ t- ^&l, <&*&**-- T=?3iL WILKINS-MAC DOUGALL HOUSE Carlisle Center Historical Sketch by Martha F.

TIMOTHY WILKINS* HOUSE - CAELISLE After living in the Timothy wilkins house for ten years and spending some time attempting to trace down the history of the house I, naturally, gained many impressions. In the first place, the house seemed to be one that grew by various steps. In fact, I think that probably in 1820 or about that time, from the construction, it was remodelled with secondhand and new timbers. In the basement, for example, all of the heavy floor timbers originally had been used in another house or barn. What was the old grocery store was at one time an individual building by itself. In 1818 the shoe shop from the neighboring property was moved over against this grocery store and attached. My impression would be that at a later date the dwelling house and the grocery store were attached, not by moving any of the buildings, but by filling in the space between, which was only about nine feet, and then building out from the back room of the grocery store, as well, a kitchen, upper bedroom and attic rooms. What is referred to as one of the bounds in the old days as "The Well House" was covered over by the kitchen floor so that this old well is now located under the present kitchen. The door going from the dining room to the kitchen was originally the outside door and is still an unusually high door to be found within a dwelling. When the addition was made to the house, the Si c ^ . - 2 - 74 window in the bedroom was changed to a door in order that one could pass into the new bedroom that was added and on in to the attic. This oan still be seen in the construction of the house. I always wondered if the grocery store at any time might have been what is known as the wheelwright shop in the very early days. About the only indication that this building might have been remodelled is from the way the clapboards were put on on the outside. Certainly, back in the seventeen hundreds, the lot on which the grocery store and the house is now located was the business center of the town. Its bounds, shape and use varied considerably during the early growth of the village, remodelling buildings, adding strips of land here and there and other changes made it a place that more or less represents the changing interests of the town and its develop- ment. Its bounds and location made it so nearly a part of the Common or Meeting House land, I suppose it was natural that all down through the years the exact bounds of the property were always under dispute. The bounds that were finally decided upon, while I owned the property, were entirely bounds of convenience and harmony, rather than any based upon facts that might or might not have been available. "When we first owned the property in 1929, the back shed of the grocery store and the old kitchen were still two rooms. The back shed showed where the old molasses barrel and other containers of the old days had been stored. The kitchen represented definitely little thought in helping to make the work of the housewife easier. There *£ :C- - 3 - 73 were two steps down from the dining room into the kitchen and the back wood shed and a stoop, to protect the side door from the weather, shut out most of the sunlight. In making it over, the only regret I had was the f aot that we removed many of the old indications of the horse and buggy day3. The hitching post and the plaoe where those driving to the center to obtain their groceries and receive their mail might park their horses was re- moved. While we kept the old shelves and drawers that were labelled for cinnamon, clove, allspice, etc., the uses of the old store were changed and definitely it would never be carried on again as the old country grocery store. The floor in the upper shoe shop was re-laid because the board floor was worn completely through in many spots where the shoe benches were formerly located. Wooden pegs, leather cuttings and shoe sizes were all that remained to show that once this was the center of an active industry. The house, however, always gave one the indication of the many interests that had been centered around it in the years past and its spaoiousness lent itself to the atmosphere of being more or less the center for many of the developments and interests of the community. I am also enclosing a few comments I have made regarding the Timothy Kilkins house, so-called which may or may not be of any use to you. AFUacD:L A. F.

|Reviews for Running Away
| DeiStarr chapter 1 . 6/12/2013
Gah you really like making me choked up. Lol Beautiful yet heartbreaking.
| teatreekni chapter 1 . 4/12/2012
:( Just to let you know, I cried...Still am actually...
| LoLa chapter 1 . 9/30/2011
Hi Luna-is-Loony,
I'm not too sure about how I feel about your story but I felt that I had to write a review.
I know the ending is hopeful and it somehow made me smile (through my tears and sobs). But your storyline seems so non-fictional that I feel like crying and never stop. My heart hurts.
It hurt.
| Rooz990 chapter 1 . 6/5/2011
nice story
it just make me cry
| Belle Montague chapter 1 . 6/2/2011
Such a memorable and poignant story. I cried so much whilst reading this. My heart literately hurts. You got the emotions just right and perfectly captured the pain of losing a loved one. Very sensitive about the subject of AIDS so congratulations on that.
"They had progressed. There was a chance that they had found something. It wasn't like AZT, merely prolonging their lives, but an actual cure – an end to the pain and misery."
Such a special line. Perfect ending. Beautifully written story and grammatically correct as always. An impeccable fan fiction story.
Also, I must say, I have read this story many times now, as the story line seems to stay with me. Although I know what will happen, I cannot hold back the tears as they fall onto my laptop.
Much love, Belle.
| Her Pillow James chapter 1 . 5/27/2011
Oh jeez! This story made me feel like j was actually there! I'm still crying! It was such a wonderful story!
| Tondayala Cherise Dupre chapter 1 . 5/26/2011
Okay, that did actually make me cry a little bit. It was lovely. God, that was just...really beautifully handled.
| anon chapter 1 . 5/23/2011
Very good and very sensitive fic. Brilliant idea, very few people have the guts or the skill to write about something as hard-hitting as this but you really pulled it off.
| Jessica D chapter 1 . 5/23/2011
Wow! I loved this story so so much. It was my perfect kind of story, grammatically perfect in every way. It was so sad and I cried for ages but it was brilliant. You portrayed the emotions of losing a loved one excellently. Really good, my favourite I've ever read. Keep writing!
| AlwaysImpatient chapter 1 . 5/22/2011
You...you totally tore my heart out with this...you just reaches inside and pulled it out...I-I have no words...I feel like screaming at you for making this so sad but at the same time I'm impressed that it made me cry so hard.
| Slash Shipping on the Pacific chapter 1 . 5/22/2011
This is so utterly beautiful, i cried, but thank you so much.
| Deactivated12345 chapter 1 . 5/21/2011
I'm crying so much that it's ridiculous.
I don't know what to say, just that this story is amazing.
Amazing, but so, so, so sad.
| DELETEDFORGOODDDDDD chapter 1 . 5/21/2011
This was so sad. So beautiful but so sad.
| prettyporcelainlace chapter 1 . 5/21/2011
I am a total sobbing wreck. Still. I finished this about 10 mins ago... but I had to recover before I attempted to type a review. It was with out any doubt THE most moving thing I have ever read. You wrote it perfectly. God. You need a medal for that. It was total truth. I was crying from the beginning. I still haven't stopped. I'm not sure if I will. I'm going to have to watch this film. Brilliantly written.
| Himuro chapter 1 . 5/21/2011
If this story isn't one of the saddest things ever. My heart hurts. Beautifully written and I'm out of words. There are tears in my eyes though.

How can I change name and email box size without affecting other text boxes?Asked by julianl on May 06, 2015 at 08:34 PM
Hi How are we all today?
I have an order form that only requires small input fields, but I need to keep the name and e-mail address the same size. How can I independently change the text input box sizes while keeping the name and e-mail boxes the same size?
I have been trying to inject css but there is something I am doing wrong :(
The link below is a work in progress. Thanks for any help!
Hello Julian.
You can add the following custom CSS to your form:
#cid_3, #input_3, #cid_16 { max-width: 300px !important; }
It will make the name and email input fields 300px wide. Please take a look at this guide on how to add custom CSS to your form:
How to Inject Custom CSS Codes
You can see the selectors that are used by looking at the field properties:
Your form should end up looking like this:
Please let us know how it goes, or if we can help you with anything else.
Kind regards,
Thanks Boris,
Will give it a go :)

Most of us are longing for deeper connections, sitting home and wondering if anyone else is lonely. If anyone else is having a hard time.
That's why I decided to open the Mummy Deals community page. It's a place where I hope like minded frugalistas can go and share ideas, bargains, help and community. It's a place where experts like me (and some others) can help novices who've never got free things at CVS.
So, sign up via the left hand sidebar link and hop into the pond! I just put up a new topic about CVS – share your deals with us this week!
This forum will be evolving and I've got some exciting plans for it in the back of my head but for now we'll start small and see if anyone else likes it as much as me!
