 Large Fire At Webster, Mass. genealogybank.com 
"BOSTON, Feb. 12 - A fire broke out, this morning, in the calendering department of Samuel Slater & Sons' cambric works, at Webster, Mass., and entirely consumed the old original mill, erected in 1812, and part of a story in the new wing. The engine building and cloth storehouse were saved, but their contents were badly damaged. There were from 8,000 to 10,000 pieces of cloth in the mill, which are a total loss; also a large quantity of cloth in an adjoining storehouse was badly damaged in removal. The loss is estimated at $100,000 and upward. A list of insurance is unattainable at present. Some 125 operatives are thrown out of employment, and it will probably be several montsh before the works are again in operation."

 Webster Massachusetts, 1890 A Gazetteer of the State of Massachusetts, with Numerous Illustrations Rev. Elias Nason, M.A.; revised and enlarged by George J. Varney. Boston: B.B. Russell. 1890, 724 pages 
"Webster lies in the southern part of Worcester County, 59 miles southwest of Boston, and 16 miles south of Worcester. French River washes its western border, and affords very important power. Along its valley runs the Norwich and Worcester Railroad, having stations at Webster and North Webster; while the New York and New England Railroad crosses the town in the other direction, having stations at East Webster and Webster. A branch of the Boston and Albany also has stations at Webster Mills and Webster. The post-office is Webster; and the villages not previously mentioned are known as Fenner Hill, Gore District and Webster Depot."

"The bounding towns are Oxford on the north, Douglass on the east, Dudley on the west, and Thompson, Conn., on the south. The assessed area is 7,363, of which 3,780 are woodland, containing oak, chestnut, pine, maple and birch. The land is beautifully diversified by hill and stream, and pleasing prospects present themselves on every side. Bear Hill and Emerson Hill, in the easterly section, afford delightful views of the valley, French River, of neighboring towns, and of Webster Lake, - the most remarkable feature of the town. The Indian name of this beautiful sheet of water is Chaubunagungamaug. It is remarkably irregular in form, and covers an area of about 1,230 acres; its surface being 480 feet above sea-level. It has been well stocked with black bass. The rock is generally of a granitic character, and the soil is gravelly."

"The 94 farms in 1885 yielded their products to the value of $71,385. The three chief manufactories are the Slater Woolen Company, the H. N. Slater Manufacturing Company, and the Cambric Works; employing in the aggregate about 1,700 persons. A dye-house and bleachery are included. The goods made consist chiefly of cambric, linen and broadcloths. The value of the textiles made in 1885 was $2,435,938. Seven shoe factories employed about 200 persons, and had a product in that year of $300,586. There were also the usual small manufactures of villages; the entire product being valued at $2,888,063. The national bank has a capital stock of $100,000; and the savings bank, at the close of last year, held deposits to the amount of $733,442. The population was 6,220; of whom 991 were legal voters. The valuation in 1888 was $2,371,100, with a tax-rate of $11.50 on $1,000. There were 764 taxed dwelling-houses."

"There are 8 public school-houses, valued at nearly $50,000, and accommodating a high school and the lower grades. The St. Louis parochial school has good buildings and a small library; and there are two small circulating libraries. The churches consist of a Congregationalist, a Baptist, a Methodist, an Independent Methodist, an Episcopal and two Roman Catholic."

"This town was formed from parts of Dudley and Oxford, and incorporated March 6, 1832; being named in honor of Daniel Webster The manufacture of textile goods was commenced in this place by Samuel Slater, the father of American cotton manufactures; and here his remains repose. He was born in Belpré, England, June 9, 1768; came to America in 1789; and started at Pawtucket, in December, 1790, the first successful cotton-mill in this country He died in Webster, April 20, 1835, and his sons and grandsons still carry on the principal manufactures of this place."



 SUICIDE WAS 105 YEARS OLD.  
Last Survivor of Nipunk Tribe Sets Her House on Fire and Dies Rather then Go to the Poorhouse.

WEBSTER, Mass., Jan. 7. Investigation of the causes which led to the burning to death last night of Lucy Boston Johnson, aged 105, the last of the Nipunk Indians, makes it evident that she committed suicide to escape being taken to the Town Farm. It was first thought that she was the victim of an incendiary fire.

It is now said the woman threw a lighted candle into a bundle of rags which lay in a corner of her dwelling. She was to be taken to the Town Farm to-day. She had repeatedly told the Overseer of the Poor that she would never consent to be an object of charity, but would destroy herself first.

The condition of William Fogarty, who was seriously burned in a heroic effort to save Mrs. Johnson's life, is precarious. Fogarty rushed into the burning house and dragged the woman out of doors.

"Mrs. Lucy Johnson, aged 106, and the only surviving member of the Nipmuc tribe of Webster, Mass., committed suicide by setting fire to the house and cremating herself last Sunday."



 TROLLEY DEAL IN CONNECTICUT: New Haven Road Purchases the Webster and Worcester System.  
NEW HAVEN, Jan. 12 - The New Haven Road has just purchased through the People's Tramway Company of Danielson, Conn., the Webster and Worcester Street Railway Company.

The purchase gives to the People's Tramway Company control of the trolley lines from Danielson, Conn., to Worcester, a distance of forty miles. The company recently acquired the Putnam and Thompson Street Railway Company, and later took over the Webster and Dudley system, the latest purchase of the Webster and Worcester completing the circuit. The New Haven Road will extend the People's Tramway line in time to Norwich, thus connecting with the steam road along the Thames to New London and forming a continuous line from Norwich to Boston, a distance of 120 miles.

The People's Tramway system will run express trains, freight, mail, baggage, and passenger coaches over the newly acquired line. The express trains will make stops only at Putnam and Webster in the through run from Danielson to Worcester, and will run at an average speed of thirty-five miles an hour. A smoker will be added to the through trains. The price paid for the new roads is comparatively small. The Tramway stock is $400,000. Webster and Dudley $50,000, and Worcester $150,000, making with the bonded debt an outlay of $1,000,000. The road when completed will cater to fully 120,000 people.

Railroad and trolley men see in the move taken by the People's Tramway Company a step in the programme of the Consolidated Road to occupy the trolley field ahead of the electric road companies. By taking over the new lines the New Haven Road stops competition at Worcester and controls all of the trolley business of Eastern Connecticut. The line will be used as a feeder to the steam roads at Worcester and Norwich.

 Lake with 45-letter name has spelling errors - The central Mass. lake has one of the world's longest place names   
WEBSTER, Mass. — Officials have agreed to correct spelling errors in road signs pointing to a central Massachusetts lake with a 45-letter name.

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster has one of the world's longest place names. It's been spelled many different ways over the years. Some locals have given up and simply call it Lake Webster.

But after researching historical spelling combinations, the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester said local Chamber of Commerce officials agreed that some signs were wrong. There was an "o" at letter 20 where a "u" should have been, and an "h" at letter 38 where an "n" should go.

There are many stories and legends about the origin of the Indian name. One popular myth — later debunked — holds that the name translates roughly to 'You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle.'

G,day, i.m searching for infomation on my grandfather Fred Edward Wilson born 1882 . He spoke of growing up on farms 2 miles from the lake,his fathers name was Charles and he only had one arm [lost in an accident involving a pullybelt in a mill],he was a commercial clerk .My grandfather said his mother was a fullblood Narragansett Indian, so we think he may have been illegitimate ,but he said was,nt brought up with his real mother and that she had born 21 children. He spoke of some brothers or maybe they were his uncles, some of the names being Byron, nelson , Arthur and a sister Sarah who was terrified of choking if she ate seeds. He left the farms at 16 and travelled extensively around the USA , joined the Canadian Army in 1914 and fought on the western front in France for the duration of the war,survived, met my grandmother in England,his family did contact him and asked him to return to help manage the farms, but he declined and set sail for Australia.He always called himself a Connecticutt yankee ,so maybe the farms were on the border of conn/mass Died in Australia 1967...David wilson..grandson ...if anyone could help with info it would clear a lot of mystery up for us......regards David Wilson

I WAS BORN AT THE WEBSTER DISTRICT HOSPITAL 11/25/33. MOST OF MY SUMMERS (17 YEARS AT LEAST) WERE SPENT AT GRAY'S CABINS, OPERATED BY MY GRANDFATHER EVERETT T. GRAY AND HIS WIFE, ISABEL GRAY (MY GRANDPARENTS). MY MOTHER, LUCILLE GRAY WHITE, GREW UP IN THAT HOUSE ON LONG ISLAND THAT HAD A TREE GROWING THROUGH THE ROOF. MOST OF MY LIFE WAS FORMED ON AND AROUND WEBSTER LAKE (I CAN STILL SAY AND SING THE REAL NAME OF THE LAKE! MANY FOND MEMORIES WILL LINGER UNTIL DEATH DOES US PART, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT I WATCHED THE OLD ICE HOUSE BURN TO THE GROUND DOWN NEAR TOOMEY'S STORE. I WILL GO TO MY GRAVE WITH MANY SECRETS ABOUT THE AREA, THE LAKE, ETC., INCLUDING THE LOCATION OF "SUNKEN ISLAND." I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO HEAR FROM ANY OF MY OLD ACQUAINTANCES! I HAVE MANY PICTURES FROM THE OLD GRAY'S CABINS AND VISITORS.
