paragraph: Frederick H. Dyer

paragraph: Frederick Henry Dyer (July 2, 1849 – September 21, 1917) served as a drummer boy in the Union Army during the American Civil War. After the war, he wrote "A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion" – a complete record of every regiment formed under the Union Army, their histories, and the battles they fought in – taking forty years to compile.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Born in 1849, Dyer lost both his parents in childhood. In July 1863, at the age of 14, already two years into the civil war, Dyer and a friend ran away from school with the intention of joining the army. Although his friend's aunt provided guardian consent for him to enlist as a minor, Dyer's friend decided not to sign up. Dyer carefully assumed his friend's surname, Metzger, to avoid being traced and returned to school. On July 25, having passed the routine physical examination, he became a drummer boy in Company "H" of the 7th Connecticut Infantry Regiment.

paragraph: Section::::Army life.

paragraph: Dyer continued to serve with Company "H" during the remaining two years of the war. It is unknown whether he actively participated in any fighting, and most likely would have helped the wounded during engagements. The 7th Connecticut was equipped with Spencer carbines in December 1863, making it better equipped to fight than those armed with the slower muzzle-loaded Enfield rifle.

paragraph: The regiment saw action in several battles during Dyer's service, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Battle of Olustee – February 4, 1864

paragraph: BULLET::::- Drewry's Bluff – May 14–16, 1864

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bermuda Hundred – June 14, 1864

paragraph: BULLET::::- Richmond–Petersburg Campaign – June 16, 1864 – January 3, 1865

paragraph: BULLET::::- Battle of Chaffin's Farm – September 29–30, 1864

paragraph: BULLET::::- Battle of Darbytown Road – October 13, 1864

paragraph: BULLET::::- Second Battle of Fort Fisher – January 15, 1865

paragraph: BULLET::::- Battle of Wilmington – February 22, 1865

paragraph: On July 20, 1865, the regiment was mustered out of service, the war having ended in April.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war years.

paragraph: Dyer stopped using his false name after the war. He attended Russell Military Institute and Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven, Connecticut, reclaiming the education he left to become a soldier.

paragraph: From the age of 18, he became a commercial traveller – an occupation he maintained for about fourteen years – moving between various cities in the states of Pennsylvania and New York. He moved to Philadelphia in 1870, where he manufactured and sold escutcheons to veterans. In 1875, he was married in Bridgeville, Delaware and moved to Pittsburgh until the fall of 1876, then moved to Washington, Pennsylvania. Whilst living in Washington he went into business with a H. Frank Ward, forming "Dyer and Ward – Printers, Stationers and Binders", which ran from 1881 until 1885.

paragraph: Dyer moved around on business, residing in several cities between 1885 and 1912, before settling his family in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1904 he set up a temporary residence in Des Moines, Iowa, and dedicated himself to working in isolation on the "Compendium", compiling his collection of around names and dates, for almost five intense years.

paragraph: Dyer remained in Des Moines until 1912, to promote the "Compendium" from his office, before moving to Boston, Massachusetts, with his family.

paragraph: Section::::Dyer's Compendium.

paragraph: In 1867, Dyer became a member of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a patriotic society of civil war Union veterans. It was around this time that he started to acquire details about Union regiments. His job as a commercial traveller brought him in touch with many veterans and officials, from whom he gathered official figures. The statistics he collected expanded into further areas, from regiments to details of formations, battles, movements, and similar data. He began to research using official records in various state capitals, and continued speaking to ex-soldiers and high-standing officers, such as General Sherman, who expressed interest in a comprehensive compendium and welcomed its future publication.

paragraph: Dyer utilized the official materials available at the War Department, namely the "Official Records of the War of the Rebellion". After 35 years of information gathering, he moved into a single room in Des Moines to start producing a compendium worthy of print. He made seven revisions, each taking around seven months, as he sifted through piles of paperwork and notes, to produce an accurate account of the Union army. Working day and night, sleeping in a bed placed close to his desk, he toiled over the "Compendium" from 1904 until 1908, producing a 4,025 page typed manuscript. Published on February 15, 1909, by "The Dyer Publishing Company", through which he personally funded, wrote and promoted his work, printed by Torch Press of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a total of 4,500 copies of the "Compendium" were issued in a single-volume edition, measuring (imperial octavo), spanning 1,796 pages, and consisting of three parts:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Part I – Number and organization of the Armies of the United States.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Part II – Chronological record of the campaigns, battles, engagements, actions, combats, sieges, skirmishes. etc., in the United States 1861 to 1865.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Part III – Regimental Histories.

paragraph: Part II also contains 90 photographs of Union soldiers and officers, maps and drawings of uniforms and battles from the civil war, but also includes reproductions of Dyer's 1863 recruitment medical form, and several personal letters. The original "Compendium", which was bound in morocco leather and pebbled cloth, sold at $10 apiece (equivalent to $ in 2017 terms).

paragraph: The "Compendium" was well-received by civil war veterans and historians alike, who praised both its accuracy and value, as well as its thoroughness when compared to official military records.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Dyer died on September 21, 1917, aged 68, of coronary sclerosis, survived by his wife and one of three children. He was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, Boston, Massachusetts, in the GAR New Veterans lot on Webster Avenue, in an unmarked grave (no. 125). It was his own request to be interred without a monument, stating that his "Compendium" would serve as a memory to his life, long after any monument had crumbled away.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Since its original publication in 1908, "Dyer's Compendium" has been reprinted several times in the U.S. due to its popularity amongst Civil War historians and enthusiasts. Editions are as follows:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion", 1908, Des Moines, IA: Dyer Publishing Co.

paragraph: Lord Zoltan

paragraph: Ken Jugan (born October 16, 1957), better known by the ring name Lord Zoltan, is a semi-retired American professional wrestler, manager, promoter, referee, and trainer. Jugan has been a mainstay in the Pittsburgh Tri-state area (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia) holding countless junior heavyweight championships in the region since his debut in 1976. He was one of the first wrestlers to start wearing facepaint in the late-1970s and, according to "Pro Wrestling Illustrated", has one of the most unusual "gimmicks" in professional wrestling.

paragraph: He was the owner of Three Rivers Wrestling from 1977 to 1979, co-owner of Ohio Championship Wrestling from 1982 to 1983, and competed in Dick the Bruiser's World Wrestling Association. Jugan also worked for the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation as a preliminary wrestler and referee during the early-to-mid 1980s.

paragraph: Jugan was one of the biggest "indy" stars in Pennsylvania during the 1990s. He founded Deaf Wrestlefest, a long-running benefit show for the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, which ran from 1994 to 2002, and again from 2009 to 2012, and raised over $100,000. In Pittsburgh's Steel City Wrestling, he held the promotion's junior heavyweight championship for over three years before his defeat by Reckless Youth in 1998. While in SCW, Jugan was the leader of The Dope Show, a "heel" stable, with Shirley Doe and Big Neal the Real Deal. He also had a long-running feud with Dominic DeNucci, Doink the Clown, and T.C. Reynolds on the independent circuit.

paragraph: Jugan dedicated much of his later wrestling career to helping raise money for cancer research, civic organizations, and other charitable causes though independent wrestling shows. On March 20, 2012, Jugan was recognized by the city of Pittsburgh who declared it "Ken Jugan Day". A year later, Jugan received the Jason Sanderson Humanitarian Award from the Cauliflower Alley Club for both Deaf Wrestlefest and other charity work. Jugan, described as "local legend" by "Pittsburgh Magazine", has been called one of the most important independent wrestlers to come out of Western Pennsylvania.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Jugan was born in Glassport, Pennsylvania on October 16, 1957. He became interested in pro wrestling as a child after attending a live event at the McKeesport Palisades. Jugan later became a regular studio audience member on the famed Saturday night television program "Studio Wrestling". Although the show was restricted to people over 18, Jugan was often sneaked in through the back door of the WIIC-TV studio by Bruno Sammartino's manager and sat in the back row of the bleachers. Jugan was studying photography in school at the time and began taking pictures at the matches. An official ringside photographer during the final years of "Studio Wrestling", he eventually started submitting photos and writing for various wrestling magazines and newsletters. He was also president of a fanclub for Luis Martinez.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Early career (1975–1977).

paragraph: As a ringside photographer, Jugan became acquainted with a number of promoters and wrestlers in the Pittsburgh-area such as Newt Tattrie. At age 18, the 165 lbs. Jugan unexpectedly wrestled his first match in November 1975 when a wrestler failed to appear for an event he was covering in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Jugan decided to continue wrestling after being laid off from his regular job at Union Railroad in Duquesne. His first match as Lord Zoltan was at Ponderosa Park in Salem, Ohio. By 1976, he was wrestling as "Zoltan the Great" in Ohio and West Virginia. He was one of the first wrestlers to start wearing facepaint in the late-1970s. The "Zoltan" ringname was an homage to Pittsburgh promoter Zoltan "Ace" Freeman and the other half inspired by Alexander the Great. He also made two appearances as "King Kabooki" for The Original Sheik in Detroit. Jugan started refereeing matches as well. Jugan won one of his first championship titles, the NACW Junior Heavyweight Championship, in West Virginia's North American Championship Wrestling. Jugan would eventually become a major regional star in the Pittsburgh Tri-state area (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia), as well as Indiana and Michigan, during the late-1970s and early 1980s. Pro Wrestling Illustrated described his Zoltan in-ring persona as "one of wrestling's crazier characters", alternating between "ominous"-looking facepaint and a wrestling mask, who had "perfected the art of distracting referees while he uses foreign objects and illegal tactics against his opponents".

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Three Rivers Wrestling (1977–1979).

paragraph: Jugan started his own "outlaw" promotion, Three Rivers Wrestling, in 1977. The promotion was covered in a number of wrestling publications, such as "The Ring's Wrestling", "The Wrestling News", and "Wrestling Monthly", and many of its stars regularly performed as preliminary wrestlers for the World Wide Wrestling Federation. Bobby Fulton spent much of his early career in Three Rivers Wrestling where he trained with Jugan, Fred and Bull Curry, and Charlie Fulton. The promotion merged with the Knoxville, Tennessee-based All-Star Wrestling in September 1979 shortly after its split from Southeastern Championship Wrestling earlier that year.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:World Wrestling Association (1982).

paragraph: Jugan was one of several West Virginia promoters who began working with Dick the Bruiser's World Wrestling Association in Indianapolis, Indiana during the early-1980s.

The promotion held its first event, a three-day November supercard, where it crowned Bobo Brazil as its first champion. On the second night in Maple Heights, Ohio, Jugan won a battle royal to earn a title shot against Brazil on the third show in Parma. Jugan was part of a heel stable managed by Beefy LaPorque that included Ed Bonzo and J.W. Hawk until the end of the promotion's run in the spring of 1983.

The two men lost the match when Jugan was thrown out of the ring and his partner pinned by Andre. Due to the circumstances of the match, Jugan has often claimed he is "undefeated" against the legendary wrestler. He remains one of the few currently active wrestlers to have faced Andre the Giant. On September 6, 1983, Jugan teamed with Tony Garea and Swede Hansen in a losing effort against Samula and The Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika). He also continued wrestling in Michigan and Ohio under his Zoltan in-ring persona so fans would not recognize him on WWF television.

The publication claimed that the wrestler "was so hyped he needed an attending physician to hypnotize him into behaving". On September 24 in Munhall, Pennsylvania, he lost to "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi in a match to crown the inaugural ACW Mid-America Heavyweight Champion. Jugan defeated Graham in an "Eye of the Hurricane" match for the ACW Light Heavyweight Championship in Lewistown, Pennsylvania on October 1, but dropped the title to Graham two weeks later.

The event was performed specifically for a hearing-impaired audience with sign language being used to communicate promos and other information. Deaf Wrestlefest became an annual event for Steel City Wrestling, attracting a number of high-profile stars, until its close five years later. Jugan was an active participant in the first few events but gradually ceased wrestling to concentrate exclusively on promoting the event. Local Pennsylvania promoters allowed him to borrow their permits so that Jugan would be allowed to run the shows.

Held on April 12, Deaf Wrestlefest Y2K's main event featured King Kong Bundy and Preston Steele. The school's decision to end the event was due to the increasing popularity of adult-oriented content and violence in mainstream pro wrestling largely promoted during World Wrestling Entertainment's "Attitude Era".

They barely avoided losing them thanks to outside interference from Tony Marino. That same night, Jugan participated in a "celebrity" roast of Dominic DeNucci, part of a PWHoF Hall of Fame fundraiser, at the Sheraton Hotel in Green Tree, Pennsylvania. It was based on this performance that the organizers invited Jugan to host the 2012 induction ceremony a few months later.

paragraph: On January 14, 2012, Party Gras and Kris Kash defeated Shawn Blanchard, Del Douglas, and The Jester at "New Years Knockout 2012".

paragraph: On April 14, Jugan and Shawn Blanchard (with J.J. Dillon) lost to Shane Douglas and Dominic DeNucci (with Bruno Sammartino) at the Pro Wrestling Superstars supercard "Wrestle Reunion 8" in Toronto, Ontario. Larry Zbyszko was originally supposed to be Jugan's partner, in what was billed as another "Sammartino vs. Zbyszko" faceoff, but he was later replaced with Blanchard. Douglas and DeNucci won the match when Blanchard was pinned with a belly-to-belly suplex. The match received poor reviews, citing the advanced age of then 81-year-old DeNucci, however Jerome Cusson of PWPonderings.com defended the bout pointing out "when you've got someone as old as Denucci and a semi-retired wrestler in Douglas, it's tough to have a great artistic contest. At least it wasn't a long match. They kept it short and allowed the fans to honor the legends involved." On April 28 at KSWA's "Unsanctioned 2012", Bushwhacker Luke and Party Gras defeated Shawn Blanchard, Del Douglas, and The Jester. The next evening, Jugan held the Deaf Wrestlefest 2012 at the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. Gregory Iron, Ryan Mitchell, Shark Boy, and Zach Gowen were among the performers. In the main event, Bushwacker Luke and Justin Sane (with Joker) defeated The VIP's (Shawn Blanchard and Lou Martin) with Big Bully Busick as the special guest referee. Bruno Sammartino also headlined the event and donated a replica championship title to raffle off. Jugan credited Sammartino's donation being responsible for making it the highest-grossing Deaf Wrestlefest ever. With both his sons no longer students at the school, and many of the original parents no longer involved, this proved to be the last Deaf Wrestlefest. The annual wrestling show had been the school's primary fundraiser and raised an estimated $100,000 during its run. Jugan, however, did not rule out bringing back the event if the school expressed interest.

paragraph: In early-May, Party Gras successfully defended the tag titles on the KSWA's "Krazy Tour '12" in Bloomington and Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania. Jugan was among a number of wrestling stars attending the 2012 Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame ceremony in Amsterdam, New York and served as emcee during the induction ceremony. Jugan, a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, was interviewed by the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette" in June to give his opinion on how the team should be managed. The publication jokingly suggested the wrestler should be the team's new mascot. Jugan was also interviewed on 100.7 FM's "Bubba Show" about the Pittsburgh Pirates. He told the hosts that he was a longtime fan and went to at least 20 games a season. Bubba Snider said on-air that he wanted to start a fan-based effort to get "Zoltan on the big screen at PNC Park for a Pirates game" as well as a visit with the team in the dugout prior to the game. It was also revealed during the interview that fans had regularly been doing the "Zoltan" hand gesture, performed by Hal Sparks' character in the 2000 film "Dude, Where's My Car?", with the wrestler unaware of the connection until that point.

paragraph: Party Gras continued defending the titles over the summer defeating Nick Crane and Sniper at "Heatwave Havoc 2012" on June 6 and Nick Crane and The Jester at "Super Summer Sizzler Tour '12" on June 30.

On December 8, 2012, Party Gras lost the belts to Del Douglas and The Jester at the "KSAW Fan Fest/Toy Drive '12".

He was subsequently honored by Glassport mayor Michael Evanovich and the Allegheny County Council for his charity work.

paragraph: Ruth Henshaw Bascom

paragraph: Ruth Henshaw Bascom, also known as Aunt Ruth (December 15, 1772 – February 16, 1848), was an American folk artist who produced over 1,400 portraits. She was the daughter of Colonel William Henshaw and Phebe Swan of Leicester, Massachusetts and a schoolteacher from 1791 to 1801. Bascom married first, at about 32 years of age, to Dr. Asa Miles, but he died a year or more after their marriage. She married a second time for about 35 years to Reverend Ezekial Lysander Bascom. Bascom didn't give birth to children of her own, but she had a stepson from her first marriage, stepdaughter from her second marriage, and a niece and nephew that she raised. She documented the daily activities of her life in diaries beginning at the age of 17, which included records of the portraits that she made.

paragraph: While married Bascom fulfilled the role of a minister's wife, was a teacher, and was active at the local library and in temperance societies. She made her first portrait in 1801, but she did not begin creating portraits regularly until after 1818. Bascom worked with a variety of materials, including pastels, pencils, cut paper, and foil. Some of her initial works were layered pieces of paper that represented the head and neck, clothing, and accessories placed over a background. She also made pastel portraits on one sheet of paper in the latter part of her career.

paragraph: Charlotte Streifer Rubinstein, author of "American Women Artists: From Early Indian Times to the Present", said that Bascom had a "calm strength of characterization combined with a sensitive feeling for shape, color and texture."

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ruth Henshaw was born on December 15, 1772 in rural Leicester, Massachusetts to Colonel William Henshaw (1735–1820) and Phebe Swan Henshaw (1753–1808); she was the first of their ten children. Bascom had two older half-sisters from Henshaw's previous marriage to Ruth Sargeant, who was her namesake. Her father was a veteran of the French and Indian War and during the American Revolution, he was a key leader of the Worcester County Minutemen. He was also active with the Massachusetts General Court and served with George Washington during several battles in New Jersey.

paragraph: Bascom grew up in Leicester in an area known as Green Valley. Bascom's childhood schooling is unknown; author Lois S. Avigad theorizes that she attended local "summer term" schools for girls, which generally took place between April and October. She attended Leicester Academy, which opened in 1784, for a brief session in 1791.

paragraph: She documented her life in a diary, held at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, from 1789 to 1846. Bascom created a diary for each year, starting with January 1. She recorded her daily activities, the weather, and visitors. She also included detailed travel information and the topics of her husband's sermons.

paragraph: Section::::Educator.

paragraph: From 1791 to 1801, she was a summer school teacher in the Leicester area. She taught up to 10 children who lived in the Bascom household during her marriage to Reverend Bascom; the schooling, paid for by the community, was conducted over a short term that included basic education, singing, and a term finale with costumes. Clough R. Miles, her stepson, lived in the Bascom household and studied there in 1809 and other years. In 1814 she was made superintendent of the Phillipston's central school.

paragraph: When there was a demand for weaving cards in the state's textile mills, Bascom trained children in her home, school, and neighborhood how to make the cards. The cottage industry helped subsidize the income of the children's families.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and family.

paragraph: In 1804, when she was about 32 years old, Bascom married Dr Asa Miles, a widower. He was a physician from Westminster, Massachusetts with a son, Clough Rice Miles (1796–1879). Dr. Miles was ill for an extended period and died in 1805 or 1806. Bascom moved back to her parents’ house and opened a millinery business in Leicester following her husband's death.

paragraph: She married Ezekiel Lysander Bascom on February 26, 1806. He was a Congregational minister in Phillipston, who was married twice before. His second wife died in July, 1805. Bascom did not give birth to any children during the marriage, but she was an attentive and caring stepmother to Ezekiel's daughter, Priscilla Elvira Bascom Philbrick (b. 1803), from a previous marriage. After Ezekiel's sister, Eunice Loveland, committed suicide in 1810, the Bascom's raised her youngest child, a five- or seven-year-old boy named Lysander Bascom Loveland. As a minister's wife, Bascom was busy socializing, recording church events, and visiting the sick. In addition to her household duties, she was active in temperance societies and at the library. In 1816 Bascom began recording the town's vital statistics.

paragraph: Clough R. Miles, her stepson, who had lived and studied in the Bascom household, resided with them again when he taught school. Miles' earnings helped pay for his Harvard education and he graduated in 1817. The family also took in children temporarily when a parent lost their spouse or when a new child was born into a family. They also brought two family members into their home: Reverend Bascom's niece, Clymene Sophronia Allen and Ruth Bascom's infant niece, Phebe Henshaw Denny.

paragraph: Reverend Bascom was dismissed for his liberal theologyin 1820 from the Congregational Church in Phillipston after 21 years ministering to the church, The Bascoms moved to Ashby in 1820 and Ezekiel served as a minister there for 14 years, beginning on January 3, 1821. That year, Lysander took a job in Concord. Priscilla became a teacher and moved to Savannah, Georgia in 1825 where she worked, married and settled. This left Phebe as the remaining child in the home. In 1827, Reverend Bascom represented Ashby at the Massachusetts General Court for a three-year period, which took him away from the house when he was in Boston. In the 1830s, they lived in Gill, Massachusetts. In the early 1830s Reverend Bascom's health began to decline and he spent 9 months of the year in Savannah. He stayed with his daughter and worked as a part-team preacher. Ruth Bascom visited family— often her siblings and their children—and friends in New England during the winter months of her husband's visits to Georgia. When the Bascom's traveled they often went by stagecoach.

paragraph: Section::::Artist.:Overview.

paragraph: Bascom made portraits of friends and relatives when she lived with her husband, Reverend Bascom, in Ashby. She made life-size bust profiles with pastels on paper. She continued making portraits following her husband's death. In her diary, Bascom made reference to more than 1,400 portraits, of which 185 to 215 are known to exist. Bascom enjoyed children and about one-third of the portraits made were of them. She made most of her pastel crayon portraits when she lived in Gill, Massachusetts in the 1830s.

paragraph: Bascom and Susanna Paine were two of 11 or more women who worked as professional itinerant portratists in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

paragraph: Bascom sometimes received no payment for her portraits when they were gifts or people could not afford to pay. Other times, she accepted barter or received a payment of US$1 to $3, depending upon the quality of the frame. When she made the portrait of Fanny Goodnow Parmenter in 1829, she was given $2.25 () to pay for glass and the picture.

paragraph: Section::::Artist.:Compositions.

paragraph: Bascom started making portraits in 1801 by tracing the shadow cast of the sitter by lamp- or candlelight on drawing paper placed on a wall in a dark room. At that time, cutting profiles was a popular parlor game and an inexpensive form of art. She didn't seem to make many portraits in the first decade or so of the 19th century; she recorded making portraits just seven times between 1801 and 1808, and there was no mention of profiles again until 1818, when she made them of the recently deceased son and wife of A. Gould. In 1819 she began making profiles in the evenings. The subject's features and other details were drawn with a pencil.

paragraph: Bascom had two methods for creating portraits. Until the mid-1820s features were identified by cuts made on the portrait paper under which was a dark background. She began creating collages in 1828 with clothing cut from paper—metal foil was used for buttons, jewelry and eyeglass frames—which were layered on the cut-out of the subject's head and neck. "Her portrait of "Elizabeth Cummings Low" (1829) is one such collage composition pasted onto a slate blue ground; the crisp photographic lines are evocative of the shadow-tracing process," according to Lois S. Avigad. In rare cases, she used silk ribbons in the work.

paragraph: In the mid-1830s she began to create portraits drawn on one sheet of paper. Background might be brown or blue pastel, include dark green trees or ruffle curtains, or suggest an oval inner frame by adding convex arcs in the upper corners with spandrel corners. She continued for a period of time to also create the collage-style portraits.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Bascom died on February 15, 1848 in Ashby, Massachusetts. Most of her portraits, dated from the 1830s, were found in Franklin County, Massachusetts.
