1. SPRINGFIELD. [Pop. 10,985. Inc. 1636.]   Springfield was called Agawam by the Indians. The township was originally very extensive, including Longmeadow, Wilbraham, and Ludlow, on the eastern side of Connecticut River; West Springfield, Westfield, and Southwick, on the western side; with Suflield, Enfield, and Somers, which fell into the State of Connecticut, when the new boundary line was run. Besides the old village, Chickopee and Cabotville are large manufacturing settlements. William Pynchon, who came over with Gov. Winthrop, was the principal founder of the town, and the few who first accompanied him came from Roxbury, in Norfolk county. The greater part of what is now Springfield, was burnt in Philip's War. The United States have had an arsenal and manufactory of firearms in Springfield ever since the Revolution. The chief stand made by the insurgents in Shays' Rebellion, in 1787, was made at Springfield, where they stopped the Courts, and provoked the government troops to fire upon them. The first shot killed three and scattered the rest. The main army, under General Lincoln, arrived the next day, and put an end to the insurrection. Springfield and Northampton were half shire towns till 1793, when the Courts and records were all transferred to Northampton. When Hampshire was divided, Springfield became the county town of Hampden county. The manufactures are very numerous and extensive. Fire-arms, cotton goods, paper, and iron utensils, are the most valuable. The water-power is furnished by Chicopee River, which divides the town as it enters the Connecticut, and by Mill Eiver, a small stream south of the Chicopee. Distance from Boston, 87 miles.

Great Fire in Springfield, Mass. - Loss $106,000.   SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sunday, July 24. - A fire broke out broke about 12:30 on Saturday night in a wooden building on Main-street in this city, occupied by JAMES MALLY, dry goods dealer, and GEORGE M. LAW, clothing warehouse. The ? destroyed, and the fire spread to the Music Hall block, a brick building owned by TILLY HAYNES. The upper story of the block was used as an exhibition room, known as Music Hall. The lower part was occupied by J. M. SKIFF, jeweler, and T. L. HAYNE & Co., clothing dealers, and the basement was used as a billiard room and saloon. Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the firemen, this block was entirely destroyed, only a portion of the walls being left standing. A fresh breeze prevailing at the time, communicated the flames to a wooden building on the corner of Main and Pynchon streets, occupied by J. FULTON, millinery, H. HUTCHINS, druggist, and MOORE BROTHERS, Photographers. This building was nearly burned to the ground. A stable at the rear of Music Hall, used by THOMPSON'S Express Company, was also destroyed. The horses &c., were removed. There were several persons injured by the falling of the walls, none fatally, however, as far as heard. The total loss is estimated at $100,000. The insurance on Music Hall block is said to be $20,000. The block was valued at $50,000. Insurance on the other buildings not stated. The fire originated in MALLEY's store, and is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The New York Times New York, New York 25 Jul 1864

MASSACHUSETTS. A TERRIBLE FIRE RAGING---THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN OFFICE DAMAGED.   SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 5. - A fire broke out this evening in the block occupied by the Merchants' Union Express and Massachusetts. Mutual Life Insurance Company, and in a short time the flames enveloped the block. The heat became so intense that the compositors in the Springfield Republican office, the building adjoining, were obliged to stop work. The employes [sic] are busy removing valuables. The Telegraph office is now threatened and assistance has been asked from Hartford and Worcester. 1 A. M. - The rear and body of the Massachusetts Insurance Building has been destroyed. The front wall is still standing. Steamers are on the way from Hartford and Worcester. Work has been resumed in the Republican Company's room, and the paper will appear as usual this morning. The insurance building was almost entirely destroyed: loss about $75,000; insured. The books and papers of the company were all saved. The loss to the Republican, by water, is considerable; but at two A. M., the flames are under control. The fire is thought to have been the work of an incendiary.

THE SPRINGFIELD FIRE. DONOHUE, THE COMPOSER, IS DEAD, MAKING SEVEN VICTIMS IN ALL.   SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 8. - There is little to add to the story of the fire which wrecked the Daily Union office and building yesterday. A great deal of adverse criticism is heard on all sides regarding the bungling work of the hook and ladder men, and also what seems the criminal negligence in the matter of fire escapes at the front of the building. The newly-constructed top story was all of pine, painted, and the soft wood partitions aided in quickly spreading the flames to all parts of the editorial rooms. Thomas Donohue, the compositor, had just died at the City Hospital, making the seventh victim of the fire. Fred G. Ensworth, the counting house clerk who went up with the elevator at the last moment and then jumped from a window, is as comfortable as could be expected. He may possibly recover. The effects of Z. Lansol, the Hungarian compositor, who jumped and was instantly killed and whose body is at the morgue, were claimed this morning, but the only clue to his identity was a receipt dated Sept. 2, 1887, from the Boston Typographical Union and a bank book. He had about $100 in money. The funeral of Mrs. Hattie E. Farley was held at the First Church this afternoon. A relief fund for the benefit of those injured in the fire and the families of the killed has been started, and $1,500 has already been subscribed. Medical Examiner T. F. Beck has decided to order and examination in regard to the circumstances of the fire, and will notify Police Justice Wills and District Attorney Hibbard to that effect as soon as a complete list of witnesses can be secured. The ruins of the building are guarded by police, and no work of clearing away the debris is being done: but as soon as the proprietors are ready the Fire Department will continue the search for bodies. It is thought, however, that all who were in the building have been accounted for. The total loss is roughly estimated at $50,000. The Union's loss will be $12,000, the R. H. Smith Company's $20,000, C. W. Atwood, printer, $10,000; Baker & Co., saddlery, several thousand, while the loss on the building will be $10,000. The New York Times New York, NY 9 Mar 1888

Springfield Massachusetts, 1890 A Gazetteer of the State of Massachusetts, with Numerous Illustrations written by Rev. Elias Nason, M.A.; revised and enlarged by George J. Varney. Boston: B.B. Russell. 1890, 724 pages   SPRINGFIELD, the capital of Hampden County, is a beautiful, industrial, and progressive city, in latitude 42° 6' 4'', north and longitude 72° 35' 45'', west, 98 miles southwest of Boston by the Boston and Albany Railroad, having a population of 37,575. It is finely situated on the east bank of the Connecticut River, and embraces many elegant public buildings and private residences, together with the ample grounds and structures of the United States Armory, established here in 1795. The city has for its boundaries Chicopee on the north, Wilbraham on the east, Longmeadow on the south, and Agawam and West Springfield on the west. The assessed area is 16,635 acres. There are 2,934 acres of forest. The post-offices are at Springfield, Indian Orchard (a pleasant village in the northeast section), Brightwood and Sixteen Acres. The formative rock consists of middle shales and sandstones; and the land rises a little distance from the river into pleasant eminences, which afford fine building sites, and then extends in gentle undulations to the eastern border. There are several handsome ponds at Indian Orchard, which find an outlet into Chicopee River; and Mill River, with its branches, drains the central parts of the city, and furnishes important motive power. Springfield is the grand railroad and commercial centre for the western section of the State, and is admirably situated for the transaction of mercantile or industrial business. The Boston and Albany, the Hartford, New Haven and Springfield, the New York and New England, by its Longmeadow Branch, and the Connecticut River railroads, come together here, and give the city immediate and direct communication with every other city in the country. An immense amount of freight and travel passes through or terminates at this central point. The marks of enterprise, vigor, and activity manifest themselves on every hand. The principal avenue, and seat of business, is Main Street, which extends along the river to the distance of about three miles. It is a broad and beautiful avenue, shaded with trees, and flanked with handsome buildings, generally of brick. Other pleasant streets run parallel with this, or intersect it at right angles. In the centre of the city there is the beautiful Hampden Park, adorned with shade-trees and marked by winding promenades. Among the conspicuous buildings are the granite court-house, the city-hall, the public library (a handsome structure of brick with yellow-stone trimmings), several churches, hotels, business blocks, and the solid brick structures of the U. S. Armory. The industries of the place are remarkably varied, almost every trade and mechanic art being represented, to the number of 511 different establishments. Some of the leading articles are cotton, woollen, jute and silk goods, hosiery, needles, artisans' tools, hollow ware, steam engines and boilers, steam-valves, machinery, wire goods, railroad coaches, locks, skates, buttons, paper and paper boxes and collars, photographic albums, jewelry, eye-glasses and spectacles, watches, military goods, pistols and other firearms, cartridges, brass and tin ware, wooden boxes, doors, sashes and blinds, bricks in large quantity, tobacco in its various forms, leather, paints, confectionery and other food preparations. The Morgan Envelope Company, noted for the large quantities of postal cards it has made for the government, the Smith and Wesson Pistol, and the N.E. Card and Paper Company, are very large establishments. The United States Arsenal and Armory, situated on Arsenal Hill, about half a mile east of Main Street, is enclosed in a square of about 20 acres. The buildings are substantially constructed of brick, and contain vast stores of firearms, arranged in perfect order and ready for immediate use. From the tower of one of the buildings a magnificent view of the city and the suburbs may be had. The workshops, comprising about 20 water-wheels and 80 forges are on Miller's River, in the southern part of the city. These vast works are under the charge of a superintendent, a master armorer, and a storekeeper, and employ at times as many as 2,800 hands who can turn out as many as 1,000 small arms daily. The value of goods made in this city in 1885, according to the last census, was $12,528,823. The value of the products of the 211 farms was $218,787. The capital stock of the nine national banks amounted to $3,300,000; and the three savings banks, at the close of last year, held deposits amounting to $14,305,262. The number of dwelling-houses was 6,402; and the number of legal voters 8,699. The valuation in 1888 was $39,863,255, with a tax-rate of $13.60 on $1,000. There are a good city-hall set in ample grounds, two city hospitals, and the usual fire department and police buildings. The public school buildings in 1885 were 28 in number, and valued with other school property at $458,940;and the schools, graded as primary, grammar and high, have a high degree of excellence. There are several private schools, as the Springfield Collegiate Institute, the Sacred Heart Parochial School, St. Michael's School, The Elms, Geer's Commercial School, and several kindergartens. The public library has about 60,000 volumes, the Boston and Albany Railroad Library here contains upwards of 2,000, the county library has about 6,000 and there are several school and circulating libraries The journals are the daily "News," "Union," and "Republican; the Sunday and the weekly "Republican," "Union,"Arbitrator," "Democrat," Herald," "New England Homestead,"Springfield Homestead;" the bi-weekly "Good Housekeeping," the semi-monthly "Farm and Home," the monthly "Domestic Journal," the "New England Stove, Hardware and House Furnisher," the "Paper World," the "Wheelman's Gazette," and "Work and Wages." The churches are three Baptist, seven Congregationalist, five Methodist, five Roman Catholic, a Protestant Episcopal, a Unitarian, a Universalist, a Second Advent, and a Church of the New Jerusalem (Swedenborgian). Springfield originally bore the Indian name of Agawam. It was organized as a town, May 14, 1636; when it included also the territory now embraced by the towns of West Springfield, Chicopee, Wilbraham, Ludlow, Longmeadow, Enfield, and Somers (the last two afterward granted to Connecticut), and parts of Westfield and Southwick. The name was changed to Springfield in 1741, in honor of William Pynchon, the leader of the colony, who had a mansion-house in the town of Springfield, in Essex County, England. Springfield was incorporated as a city April 12, 1862. The first mayor was Caleb Rice, who died March 1, 1873, aged 81 years. The settlement was commenced by eight men and their families, who built house upon the west side of what is now Main Street. The first minister was the Rev. Pelatiah Glover, from Dorchester, who was ordained June 18, 1661. On the 5th of October, 1675, about 300 savages made an attack on the town, killed three men and one woman, wounded many others, and reduced 30 dwelling-houses and 25 barns to ashes. On the 20th of December, 1786, Daniel Shays, at the head of 800 insurgents, took possession of the court-house. On the 5th of January following, he made an attempt, at the head of 1,100 men, to take possession of the arsenal. Gen. William Shepard, who commanded the State forces, ordered them to fire into the ranks of the insurgents; when three were killed and several wounded. This settled the affair. The rebels fled disheartened; and soon the insurrection was closed by the capture of the leaders. Springfield has produced many men of eminence, of whom the following may be mentioned; Enos Hitchcock, D.D. (1744-1803), an able divine and author; Calvin Chapin, D.D. (1763-1851), an eloquent preacher; William Harris, D.D. (1765-1829), president of Columbia College from 1811 to 1829; Benjamin F. Wade (1800), a distinguished United States senator; Rev. Francis Warriner (1805-1866), an able writer; Worthington Hooker, M.D. (1806-1867), an able author; Samuel Bowles (1826), an able journalist and editor; David A. Wells (1828), an editor and author of works relating to political economy and general science.

Big Fire at Springfield.   "SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 22.- Fire broke out in the Worthington Street Block, owned by I. I. Dexter & Co., about 12:30 this morning, and that, with one adjoining, are burning. The firemen expect to hold the flames in these two buildings, although the result is in doubt." "Henry Dickinson is half owner in the two buildings, and in the rags which were stored in both. Although a brick partition separated them, the rags burned with such heat that the walls gave way." "The first structure burned was built four years ago, at a cost of $20,000, and was occupied by A. I. Leonard & Co., seeds men; the Stearns Paper Company, and the Graphic Company. The upper floors were stored with rags." "The second block was worth about $25,000. The first floor was occupied by the Union Cycle Company, and the rest by I. I. Dexter & Co. The third block, now threatened, is owned and occupied by James Dolan, also a rag dealer. The loss already amounts to $75,000." The New York Times, New York, NY 22 Nov 1893

FIRE IN SPRINGFIELD, MASS. The Opera House Burned and Two Persons Overcome by Smoke.   SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 5. - A stubborn fire which broke out in the Gilmore Opera House at 11:30 o'clock to-night gutted the block and caused a loss of between $80,000 and $100,000. The fire is supposed to have started in the Acme Laundry, and had gained such headway before it was discovered that a general was sounded. Mrs. Mary Turner, and old lady, who roomed in the block, was overcome by the smoke and Capt. Boss of Chemical Engine, No. 1, who was attempting to get her out of the room, was also overcome. Both were taken out, but Mrs. Turner's condition is critical. The New York Times New York, NY 6 Apr 1897

1900 - PECULIAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT.   Passengers on 7:16 Train Last Evening Get a Little Shock. The passengers in the smoking car on the train on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, due in this city at 7:16 last evening, were surprised and shaken up by the sudden crashing of five windows on one side of the car and the sudden stopping of the train, near William street. The accident was due to the opening of one-half of the door of a refrigerator car which was standing on a side track near the street. The passenger train was moving rapidly and the suction of air is supposed to have caused the door of the car to swing open. The engine and baggage car passed safely, but the door opened when the smoking car was passed and the car was caught at about the middle, where five windows were smashed in a twinkling. A large hole was also made in the side of the car by the iron brace on the refrigerator door. The glass was scattered over the passengers and Henry A. Trombley, a clerk in Forbes & Wallace’s, received several gashes on his face. He left the train as soon as possible, but did not require a physician to dress his wounds. The jolting of the cars attracted the attention of Conductor Cowles, who stopped the train at once. The cause of the damage was investigated and the train proceeded into the station.

HURT BY JUMPING FROM CAR. Brakeman Thought Car Would Overturn and Leaped.   "William H. Whalen, a brakeman employed by the Boston and Albany railroad, was seriously hurt late yesterday afternoon by jumping from a car which was being switched in the local freight yard. The car collided with another one, the forward trucks leaving the rails and the end being crushed like an eggshell. Evidently Whalen thought the car would overturn, as he jumped to the track below. He sustained a badly-sprained ankle and severe bruises and contusions about the right shoulder, and will be laid up for several days." Springfield Republican, Springfield, MA 21 Jun 1907

In addition to this structure, which was four stories in height, there was another four-story building, one five stories in height, another of two and a half stories, all being connected by passageways. All the buildings, which were of brick, were destroyed. Charlotte Daily Observer Charlotte, NC 29 Jan 1907
