Annual Meeting Returning to quarters where it has held many of its meetings in the past, the Nantucket Historical Association convened for its 44th annual meeting in the Friends'Meeting House, Fair street, Wednesday, July 27. With all the benches occupied by an interested gathering of members and friends of the Association, the meeting provided almost two hours of reports, dis­ cussions and other matters relative to the activities of the well organized group.

The meeting was opened shortly after 3.00 p. m., with the President, Edouard A. Stackpole, in the chair. He greeted the gathering in behalf of the Association, and spoke briefly on the fact, that the meeting place was particularly appropriate this year as the old meeting house was this year observing its 100th anniversary, having been built in 1838 by James Weeks as a schoolhouse for the children of the Friends' Meeting.

The reading of the record of last years' meeting was dispensed with, as it had already been printed in the "Proceedings".

Mrs. Catherine Ray Eger, Secretary of the Association, then read her report, bringing out the fact that the Nantucket society is still the largest active organization of its type in the Commonwealth, with 622 annual mem­ bers, 96 life members, 27 sustaining members, and 31 junior members.

The report of Treasurer Robert D. Congdon was read by Dr. Charles E. Congdon, who explained several of the items in the report as he went along.

The treasury's balances show that the Association is in a healthy condition financially.

One of the interesting facts brought out was that the $5,000 fund which was loaned to the Association some time ago by several of the loyal friends, without interest, has been paid.

Another fact was noted in the "Old Mill Account." Under the leadership of Mrs. Frederick L. Ackerman, the Chairman, the committee in charge of this structure has, during the past four years, completely restored the Mill to its power of grinding corn for a commercial market. The cost has ex­ ceeded $5,000 and only a few weeks ago what is hoped will be the final re­ placement—a new driving shaft—was made.

The report of the Curator, Mrs. Walton H. Adams, was next to be receiv­ ed. As in previous years, Mrs. Adams' recording of acquisitions and gifts to the Association made interesting listening, and revealed another important phase in the development of the organization—that of securing heirlooms and relics of the island's past.

During the past year two of the stalwart members of the Association have passed away—Miss Susan E. Brock, Curator Emeritus, and Miss Mary E. Starbuck, also an active member of the group which first launched the society and helped maintain its great record.

The report of the nominating committee was then read by Mrs. Grace Elkins Hutaff, as follows: President—Edouard A. Stackpole.

Vice Presidents—Fred V. Fuller, Bassett Jones, Harry B. Turner, Thomas H. Giffin, Charles P. Kimball, Everett U. Crosby.

Secretary—Mrs. Catherine Ray Eger.

Treasurer—Robert D. Congdon.

Curator—Mrs. Walton H. Adams.

Auditors—Miss Cora Stevens, Col. Louis J. Praeger.

Councillors for Three Years—Miss Mary Turlay Robinson, Mrs. Alfred Shurrocks.

Life Councillor—Miss Annie Alden Folger.

It was voted by the meeting that the secretary be instructed to cast one ballot for the election of the above-named officers. This was done and they were declared elected.

During the tenure of office of the late Alexander Starbuck as head of the Association, a prize essay contest was inaugurated, open to those students of Nantucket High School who wished to write on historical Nantucket. Each year since numerous essays have been presented and, with the exception of two occasions, three prizes awarded. This year fourteen essays were sub­ mitted, all of which showed that the writers had browsed a bit in the field of local history. The award committee members found their task a difficult one, but finally selected three outstanding essays and awarded the prizes as follows: 1st Prize ($5.00)—David Wood.

2nd Prize ($3.00)—Miss Barbara Bennett.

3rd Prize ($2.00)—Miss Helen Lewin.

The three students were present to receive their awards amidst applause.

David Wood, the contest winner, then read his essay, which was entitled, "Nantucket's Architectural Heritage." It was received with deserved appro­ bation by the gathering.

Mrs. Adams then read the following tributes to the memory of these revered personages: In Memory of Susan E. Brock.

In the death of Miss Susan E. Brock, on August 9, 1937, the Association lost one of its most valued members. She was born on November 19, 1852, the daughter of Capt. George H. Brock and Charlotte Coleman Brock. She received her education in the schools of Nantucket and took up a musical education. Always a frail person she lived a quiet life. She devoted many years to giving music lessons, and for some years was organist in the Unitari­ an Church. In 1894, when this Association was started, she became its first Curator, and it was through her untiring efforts that our historical collection was arranged and catalogued. She remained Curator until 1928, when fail­ ing health caused her to give up the work she loved so well. The Associa­ tion honored her by making her its Curator Emeritus. When she passed away we lost a devoted member and friend. In her will she generously recog­ nized the needs of the Association to which she had devoted so much thought­ ful care and left one thousand dollars for the upkeep of the Meeting House and Historical Museum, also many articles of historic value. We express here our recognition of her devotion and regret her passing.

Mrs. Walton H. Adams.

Mary Eliza Starbuck.

On June 4th, Miss Mary Eliza Starbuck, a life member of this Associa­ tion, passed on in her eighty-third year. She was one of the group that, in 1894, organized the Nantucket Historical Association which, for some years, has been the largest organization of its kind in the State.

Miss Starbuck served as its secretary (from May 9, 1894, until July 19, 1900) and later was for several terms an active and valued member of the Council. Her annual reports as secretary stand out as exhibits of high liter­ ary talent.

Miss Starbuck possessed a fund of information concerning Nantucket's past and often recounted its traditions in a most interesting way, as recorded in her book "My House and I". She wrote many poems and some of them have been much quoted. In fact, all of her literary work is of high quality and distinction.

The Nantucket Historical Association wishes to place on record its sense of loss at the passing of its first secretary and to express its appreciation of her brilliant work in literature as well as her unusual capacity of making friends and retaining such friendships.

Fred V. Fuller. * * * * * * * The next portion of the program was devoted to an informal talk on "Some Recollections of the Last Representatives of the Society of Friends on Nantucket" by Harry B. Turner, Editor and Publisher of The Inquirer and Mirror.

Before commencing on his subject, however, Mr. Turner reminisced a bit concerning the "beginnings" of the Association, remarking that he was the oldest member now living, in point of the Association's membership, having joined in 1895.

The speaker then went on to give first-hand anecdotes of the last few members of the Friends on Nantucket. He told of William Hosier, whose candy business in the front of his shop acted as a certain lure for the chil­ dren who had received pennies for disposing of old rope, lead pipe, copper and nails at the back-door of the shop. Mr. Hosier's philanthropy and community interest was revealed by the several bequests which he made at his death many years ago.

The speaker told of Alexander Coffin, a dentist, and Narcissa, his wife, Friends who lived on Vesper Lane in the house now occupied by Mr. Justice.

They were the last members to utilize the procedure of having a boy appren­ ticed to them for upbringing, the late John Terry being the boy who was at that time "bound out" in the care of Alexander and Narcissa.

Anecdotes concerning "Uncle Ben Sheffield" and his "Quaker hearse; Eunice Paddock and her store on Main street; the "Friends' Boarding House" on Main street; and the last meetings conducted by visiting members of the Society—Job Gidley, Cyrus Cooper and Horace Foster—at the Fair street Meeting House in June, 1919—were also recounted.

There was a lively discussion at this point concerning another meeting conducted since 1919 at the Fair Street Meeting House, and, also, as to the derivation and reasons for separation among the Friends, with the resulting factions of Hicksites, Gurneyites and Wilburites.

Mr. Turner gave a resume on the places where these factions held their meetings, and recounted the varied career of a meeting house which stood 49>

on the south side of Main street and which, by succession, became a straw factory, skating rink, portion of a hotel and, at present, the main section of Red Men's Hall, having been moved twice across the town before arriving at its present position.

Mr. James Monaghan, a summer resident who has become deeply in­ terested in the island's history, read a most interesting paper on "AntiSlavery on Nantucket". The paper revealed that the writer has spent many hours in diligent research. The home of Mrs. Monaghan in Pennsylvania, "The Pines," was on several occasions visited by such renowned Nantucketers as Lucretia Coffin Mott and the Rev. Phebe Ann Hanaford. Upon concluding his paper, Mr. Monaghan was accorded warm applause by the gathering.

William H. Tripp, Curator of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society's Whaling Museum, and a member of the Nantucket Association, again had made a special trip down from New Bedford. Called upon to speak before he was forced to leave to catch the last boat back to the mainland, Mr. Tripp expressed his pleasure at being present, and extended an invitation for all fellow members of the Association to visit him at his headquarters in New Bedford.

It was at the 1937 Annual Meeting of the Association that Mrs. Ruth Dame Coolidge, of Medford and Nantucket, proposed that the local organiza­ tion invite the Bay State League to the Island for its annual meeting in 1938.

The motion was unanimously accepted, and the result has proven very gratify­ ing to both host and guests. Mrs. Coolidge graciously agreed to serve as a delegate at that meeting, held in the Old North Vestry, and her report con­ cerning the same will be found in these Proceedings.

Charles P. Kimball, who acted as the chairman of the committee ar­ ranging for the very successful meeting of the Bay State League here, the last week-end in June, was asked if he had any comment to make on that occurrence. Mr. Kimball stated that the success of the enterprise was due to the co-operation of the Gordon Folger Hotel and the Congregational Church, together with the fine service accorded by the Terry Taxi Service, through Mrs. Terry.

Naturally, Mr. Kimball was not in a position to discuss his own part in the matter, but as chairman of the affair he carried out his duties with thoroughness, arranging for the meeting at the North Vestry, and the tea at Bennett Hall, as well as the hotel accommodations at the Gordon Folger, so that it was these preliminary arrangements that brought out the successful culmination of the event.

Due to the lateness of the hour, the paper entitled "Notes from an Out­ line on the Nantucket Boys in the Civil War" was not given by the president.

He did, however, mention a number of the exploits of the island's "Boys in Blue" and urgently asked that any information relative to Nantucket's part in the Civil War be imparted to him, for the preparation of a pamphlet on the subject which he is completing.

As an illustration of outstanding happenings to Nantucket's sons in the war, Mr. Stackpole mentioned briefly their baptism of fire at Balls Bluff; the fighting at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the

4

io fa

Wilderness campaign. He showed the commissions and other papers which Lieut. Benjamin Pease of Nantucket carried in his coat pocket during this later campaign when he was wounded, the ball passing through the papers into his right side, and the hole made by the bullet was plainly seen even by those in the rear of the room. It is such priceless relics of the islanders' part in the Civil War—whether of this striking sort or more humble origin—which the president is anxious to record; for Nantucket, as the banner town in the Commonwealth during the war, should have its record preserved in as much detail as is possible.

The last survivor of that band of nearly 500 who served in the army and navy is James H. Wood, who represents both branches of the service, having fought in the cavalry at Cedar Creek and with the navy at the successful attack on Fort Fisher.

Mr. Turner arose to state that it was entirely fitting at this time to remark that David Wood, the essay contest winner, was the great-grandson of Commander Wood of the Grand Army.

Before final adjournment was made Miss Annie Alden Folger arose to urge that the Association would welcome the acquisition of Nantucket heir­ looms and furniture which might be on the island or off-island.

"So many things of primarily historic importance to Nantucket have gone from the island," she said, "that I urge you to allow the Association to at least have the first opportunity to purchase them before they leave the island in the possession of a private collector."

The meeting adjourned shortly before 5:00 p. m., and even then several lingered to discuss various matters before departing homeward. Thus, the forty-fourth milestone of the Association's career was reached and passed and its members look confidently on to the future.

Secretary's Report Mr. President, Members and Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association: The rotation of the months has brought us again to the Annual Meeting of the Association, and for the 44th year we are gathered together to con­ sider what we have accomplished and what is contemplated as special work for the ensuing year; to give such directions as seem to us wise and to select those under whom your orders are to be carried out.

This year it is our special privilege and pleasure to meet in this Old Friends Meeting House which is 100 years old this year, having been built in 1836 by James Weeks. It was in this building that the last group of orthodox Friends on the Island held their meetings.

The Council anticipates from year to year this annual gathering, seek­ ing to find new ways and methods to interest returning friends and members.

The best work which we are accomplishing is naturally shown in the reports of our Curator and Treasurer, on which they will report to you later. In this year, as in previous ones, our desire is for increased member­ ship, additions to our fine collections, and growing interests among young and old—islanders and off-islanders. Last but not least, we look to the continual renewing of the help and co-operation of our members.

The Council during the past year has held its regular meetings. Our first meeting was called according to custom as soon after the Annual Meet­ ing as possible—on September 16, 1937—and committees were chosen for the ensuing year. Other Council Meetings for routine business were held on October 15, 1937, May 7, 1938, and June 16, 1938. The routine business of the Council has been transacted in proper order. The meetings have all been well attended. With your permission, I will dispense with the summary of all the details relative to the business of the year.

At a Council Meeting on May 7, 1938, due to a pressure of other duties of a personal and civic nature, Dr. Congdon felt obliged to tender his resignation as President of the Association, which was reluctantly accepted with sincere regrets and full appreciation of all that he has done for the Association, during his term of office as well as previously. A motion was duly carried appointing Edouard A. Stackpole as President for the un­ expired term, namely, from May 7, 1 938, to July 27, 1938.

The Annual Meeting of the Bay State League was held this year in Nantucket on June 25th, in the Old North Vestry. About 125 delegates were present. All exhibits were open over the week-end, enabling all the delegates to visit them.

In spite of these unsettled times and the present turmoil in which the world finds itself, our membership holds fairly steady. Very gratifying are the little missives which I am receiving frequently from our treasurer, which tell that one more has made the necessary deposit and has enrolled himself as a member. Our membership at present stands thus at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1938.

Present Total 657 In connection with the above let me again add that it would be a great convenience to your Secretary and Treasurer to be informed promptly of any change of address.

Again, during the past year, we have been called upon to part with several of our valued members. In August, 1937, soon after our Annual Meet­ ing, our good friend and Curator-Emeritus, Miss Susan E. Brock, was called from our fellowship. Miss Brock was Curator and Librarian from the time the Association was organized in 1898 until 1928, at which time she retired only because of ill health. She was made Curator-Emeritus by a unanimous vote. In June of this year, Miss Mary E. Starbuck, one of our Life Councillors and for many years our Secretary, was called from us. On Wednesday of last week, Mrs. Irving Elting, for a number of years a member of our Council and an active worker in the affairs of the Association, died very suddenly. It is difficult to realize that these members will no more lend their personal aid to these worthwhile enterprises, which meant so much to them. Other members have been called from us and their presence will be sadly missed by us all.

Thus we have reached our 44th birthday. We feel that we can certainly congratulate ourselves on the stability of the structure we have built in our 44 years of service, but let us not imagaine the work by any means com­ pleted, for we must always remember that although "every day is the child of a yesterday, it is also the parent of a tomorrow."

Respecfully submitted, CATHERINE RAY EGER, Secretary.

Curator's Report Mr. President and Members of the Nantucket Historical Association: The past year has been a busy one for your Curator. Many new accessions have had to be acknowledged, catalogued and installed, and, through the winter and early spring months, many hours of work have been devoted to classifying the many papers, documents, old deeds, etc., which are deposited in the large safe.

The year was very satisfactory as to visitors. The attendance of paying visitors at the Whaling Museum was over 7200, at the Historical Museum about 900, and at the Oldest House about 1300. The start of the present season shows each week a gain in attendance over last year, which is very encouraging.

At the Historical Museum we have opened a new entrance gate, and stones have been laid leading to the side entrance. Also, the old concrete walk in front of the Meeting House has been removed and stones laid to the steps, all of which seems to be a great improvement. It has been decided by members of the Council that we should have the Museum and the Oldest House open on Sunday afternoons, and we feel that this will us added funds and also give the visitors to the island an opportunity to see the ex­ hibits. The salaries of the attendants have been raised this year and we know they are all most appreciative of this expression of our interest in their behalf. We are fortunate in having a corps of attendants who are never failing in their endeavor to be courteous and friendly to all visitors to the buildings.

It is a pleasure to note the interest of the visitors to our Historical Museum, and one lady was actually tearful when expressing her pleasure in being given the opportunity to see a fine collection of old relics.

In the loss by death of our Curator Emeritus, Miss Susan E. Brock, and our former secretary and member of the Council, Miss Mary E. Starbuck, there has been severed the last tie which linked us with the past and the beginnings of our fine Association. We shall miss their devotion and their counsel.

We have been the recipients, through donations, bequests and purchases, of many interesting articles of historic value. Our late Curator Emeritus left many articles to the Association, among them being a lovely old tall grand­ father's clock; a Hitchcock chair; a corner chair and a Windsor rocker; a lovely old mirror; a framed needle point piece, the subject being "The Fish­ ing Lady," and made by Susan Colesworthy in 1765; framed miniatures of Timothy G. and Eliza W. Clapp; several pieces of china, among them being a fine old Canton China Masonic pitcher; a Toby, and Bennington, and a bronze lustre pitcher; 13 pieces of glass, some being Stiegel; two silver spoons and a pair of candle sticks, and candelabra ornamented with prism pendants.

We have received from a purchaser of some of Miss Brock's belongings a fine old sea-chest made by a Nantucket blacksmith, who also forged the hinges and lock, and the claim is made that the chest was made from wood grown on the island. Also a china bowl which belonged to Mrs. Betsy Cary in 1851, with the story that it came from Capt. Robert Folger's grandparents.

•«( 16 )§•

We have also received from a descendant of an old-time Nantucketer, Mrs. Maria T. Owen, a pair of lovely old Royal Worcester vases, a fine old Liverpool pitcher marked with the names of Robert and Lucy Swain, and a tile taken from the fireplace of the old William Coffin house on Union street. And from the estate of Mrs. Madeleine Fish Severance we received a framed sampler made by Anna Gardner in 1798; a silhouette of Francis Chase, and drawings by Anna Gardner and Micajah Gardner, and four old high-back combs.

Miss Annie Alden Folger has donated some relics of the Hon. Walter Folger, which consist of a whetstone, a razor stone, and a level used in surveying, it is thought. To Miss Folger's keen interest in locating relics of Nantucket's past we are greatly indebted. Her good judgment and generosity are an invaluble help to our Association.

The Committee appointed by the Council to purchase historic relics has been active and among the articles purchased is an old camphor wood desk belonging to Capt. Oliver C. Spencer, and brought to the island by him in 1866. It had been in his cabin on the steamer "Lamont" for a number of years. The "Lamont" belonged to the Shanghai Steam Navigation Company, and carried both passengers and freight between Shanghai and upper ports of the Yantze Kiang river, into the interior of China. Another relic is an old sea chest, belonging to Capt. Charles E. Starbuck, and used by him on his whaling voyages. This chest, according to his daughter, the late Mary E. Starbuck, was with him when he received a letter from his small son in Nantucket, addressed to "Capt. Charles Starbuck, Bark Islander, Pacific Ocean, Anywhere," and in which he asked his father to bring him home a sled. Capt. Starbuck received the letter all right and had the sled made on board by the cooper and brought it home to his son.

Several pieces of china have been purchased and other small objects. A very recent accession has been a flag with 34 stars on it. The 34th state admitted to the Union was Kansas on June 29, 1861; the 35th was West Virginia in 1863, which gives us an idea when the flag was made.

There have been several pamphlets and books added to the library, and a large envelope of papers has been placed in our care with strict instructions that it is not to be opened until 1976. I wonder who will be the person to open it. We have been given the old bellows from the blacksmith shop of "Uncle George" Winslow, and a block of old wooden post office boxes taken from the old office at the time the late John M. Winslow was postmaster.

One of the most important accessions this year has been the gift of 507 pepper-pots from the collection of the late William S. Kimball, and given by his daughter Mrs. George C. Gordon. Everett U. Crosby has very generously contributed a fine case in which to display these pepper-pots.

We cannot mention in detail all the additions to our collection, and they should be seen to be appreciated.

There have been a few additions in the Whaling Museum the past year, mostly books and pamphlets. Some old charts have been donated and a British Admiralty Whaling License, dated 1800. A modern print of a whale, and some articles have been transferred from the Historical Museum.

The new year at the Whaling Museum has started with even better at­ tendance than last year, and it remains, as for the past eight years, a very important and popular exhibit.

4 17 ^

We have had rather a surprise this year in learning for the first time the origin of our very large whale's jaw. To Miss Emmie Christian we owe the following story. James Christian, her father, had shipped on the whaleship Niger as boatsteerer. The ship, under Captain Charles Grant, Master, had been very successful in the catch of whales and one was struck and killed

by Mr. Christian, of which, after the trying out had been finished and they prepared to dispose of the carcass, Mr. Christian asked Capt. Grant if he might have the jaw, as it was the largest whale the Niger had taken on that voyage. Capt. Grant gave his permission and the whale's jaw was slung over the side and towed, in order to clean the meat from the bone.

Capt. William Cash hove in sight and spoke the Niger and, while gam­ ming with Captain Grant, asked what he had over the side on the line.

Capt. Grant replied: "Jim Christian, the boatsteerer, is cleaning up the jaw of the whale that he struck and killed and which is the largest whale we have taken this voyage. I gave him permission to do so and he contem­ plates putting it in his back yard as a souvenir of the voyage."

Captain Cash said: "Well, I am towing one as well; let me look at it."

This was done, and Captain Cash, seeing that Mr. Christian's whale's jaw was larger than his, became interested and asked Mr. Christian if he would give it to him. Christian agreed and stated he was only taking it home for fun. The jaw was transferred to Capt. Cash's ship and the voyage continued. Upon arrival at Nantucket, Captain Cash presented the jaw to the Atheneum, at which place a museum was housed, but no mention was ever made as to how Captain Cash came by it, or who killed the whale.

This story has been told and retold many times in the Christian family, and they are sure it is authentic.

The jaw bone, which is now in the Whaling Museum, is of greater inter­ est now that we know where it came from, and we are grateful to Miss Christian for telling us the story.

Many letters have been written in reply to inquiries about genealogy, etc., and a very interesting correspondence has been carried on with a Lady Tirzard, of St. James Court, London, England. She is interested in the whal­ ing ship Susan, as she has a very fine engraving done by Frederick Myrick in 1809, and we are trying to find information about him. We would appreci­ ate receiving any information that any member of this Association may have of him.

The Oldest House is always an attraction and there is little to report concerning it. We are fortunate to have the same attendant there again this summer, and he makes the house very attractive to the visitor.

Individual efforts are being made to gather and preserve our early history and traditions, but co-operation is needed greatly. Many an item of history and many an object that would be a vivid reminder of the old days are being carried away to places where they have no historic value, and we find ourselves regreting the fact that priceless relics are forever gone beyond our reach. We must rescue and preserve these relics, and we ask you to keep in mind that our museums are ready and waiting for your gifts.

Respectfully submitted, NANCY S. ADAMS, Curator

"Nantucket's Architectural Heritage"

By David Wood, winner of the first prize in the Nantucket Historical Association's prize essay contest.

Moderns are apt to overlook the fact that we, in the present, live on what the past has built up, and what our forefathers have done before us.

In Nantucket this is even more so. We should consider this, and look at what we have been left in the important field of architecture.

Nantucket's first settlement, made in 1659, at Madaket, consisted of a meager group of pioneers from the mainland. Madaket was considered an excellent place to start their homes, its location being near the sea and, hence, a ready supply of food.

The dwellings which these settlers built at Madaket were little more than huts, and were not built permanently. Seeing better opportunities fur­ ther eastward, the settlers moved, and near Capaum Pond (then Capaum Harbor), were erected the first really permanent dwellings. It was in this period that the type of house known as the lean-to or "salt-box" came into being.

It was favored because the long back, or slanting roof, when set to the north kept the cold winter winds out. Its plan was very simple, much like the Horseshoe House, with, of course, variations. A few of these houses still stand, in their town positions, to which they were moved about 1720, to the newly planned town, or Wesco Lots. This is the present site of the Town.

This type of house remained in favor for a period of approximately eighty years, or until 1740. Of the original lean-to houses built at Capaum and Hummock Ponds, but one remains, in its original site, the Elihu Coleman house on Hawthorn Lane. Most of the houses were taken to the new settle­ ment, but several were left.

The best remaining examples of this type are: The Tobey House, corner Main and Gardner streets—c. 1720.

The Major Josiah Coffin House, Cliff Road—1724.

The Elihu Coleman House, Hawthorn Lane—1722.

It may be asked at this time, "What was the source from which the Islanders obtained their materials for houses?" Lumber, mostly pine, came from the Merrimac River region, and from other New England ports. As for bricks and stone, bricks seem to have been the favorite with builders.

There were extensive clay beds on the Island, but there is not a definite date as to when bricks were made from them.

The next step in houses, following the lean-to, was the simple raising of the long back roof, thus making the building two stories in height, both in back and front. The period in which this was done, interspersed with new buildings, covered a period of 90 years, or until 1830. This is known as the American Colonial, or early Federal period. This covers most of the houses on Nantucket except those later, or those already mentioned.

4 19

During this period, many things happened to influence the styles of the houses. It was during this period that the Society of Friends reached its peak on Nantucket, and its influence was felt strongly. It was a simple, unadorned type of house that these Friends preferred, and it is liked, perhaps, better than some of the more ornate types which were to come later.

Another influence which was strongly felt in this period was the influence of ships. Naturally, as Nantucket was in the sea, its sons followed the sea for a living. Thus, when seamen built their homes, they were inclined to favor the idea of ship's carpentry. A very good example of this point is the popular use of ship's timbers for the roof, and of ship's knees for braces.

It was also during this period that the familiar type of house, so popular in Nantucket, was built. It was usually two stories and a half in height, set upon a high foundation and fronting on the street, with a large chimney, set either to one side or in the center. The front was not balanced, the door and one window of one side often setting off the two windows on the other.

Although the height of the whaling era in Nantucket was not to come until the 1840's, many of the houses built in this time were built with "walks" on the roof, usually around or between the chimneys.

The doors of these houses were usually paneled, very plain, and they were generally1 set flush with the front surface of the house, very seldom being set into a recess as was later done.

The last division of Nantucket houses is the late Federal or Classic period. This begins in 1830 and continues until about 1860. There are few dwellings in Nantucket which belong to this classification.

This period includes the columned type of house, of which there are two excellent examples on Main Street, below Pleasant Street. This period was a sort of Greek revival and the Doric order of columns seems to have been preferred, although the other two, the Ionic and the Corinthian, were used to some degree. In houses which belong to the Classic period, the peak of the roof, which in former Nantucket houses was at the side, was changed and the triangle thus formed in front was displayed above the pillars.

A change, which had been coming, was definitely apparent in the houses which belong to the Classic period. This is the use of larger panes in the windows. Nantucket, up until this time, had favored the use of small-paned windows, and although large panes were used somewhat in the Federal period, there was not one Classic house but which had large panes.

Thus far I have only mentioned houses of wood, and it is necessary to mention houses of brick. Brick houses are very scarce on Nantucket, as the material had to be shipped from the mainland, and hence was very expensive.

All brick houses on Nantucket were erected after the middle of the nine­ teenth century. They were all built, usually on a four-square plan, by wealthy whalemen. When brick houses were built on Nantucket, they were built with parapet brick-end gables. A good example of this is the house on the corner of Pleasant and Mill Streets, "Moors End." Another type of house, which, although it flourished on the mainland during the lean-to era of Nantucket, was quite unpopular on Nantucket was the gambrel-roof type, or Dutch hip-roof. An example of this type is the Paddock house on India Street.

20 )»•

While on the subject of roofs, it is well to mention some of those which exist on the Island. Their coverings were, of course, wooden shingles, which although best for appearances are decidedly unsafe. Few old houses, es­ pecially wooden ones, had slate roofs.

Few of the old houses had dormers or projections from the roof, and un­ like many other places, Mansard roofs were in great disfavor here. Thus, much beauty, which would otherwise be lost, is retained in Nantucket.

Native Nantucketers are apt to overlook the many architectural beauties which Nantucket offers. Lately, however, with the advent of summer visitors, many of whom are interested in old houses, the mortality of such beauties has grown surprisingly small.

"What does Nantucket offer the coming generation?" The answer to this question is that Nantucket offers, to those who will accept her heritage, an island thirty miles at sea, almost entirely unmarred by the ravages of Time, and an architectural beauty which is surpassed by few.

The Meeting of the Bay State League.

BY MRS. RUTH DAME COOLIDGE. My first report as delegate from the Nantucket Historical Association to the Bay State League should bear with it an appreciation of the honor conferred upon me. For some years now as resident of Nantucket and Medford I have risen at the roll-call of the League as a member of two Histori­ cal societies, and several times have had a murmur of applause when I stood forth for Nantucket. For Nantucket is a magic name in the League, not only for its far-flung whaling fleet, but for the activity of the present Association and the size of its membership, probably the banner society of the League.

The invitation of Nantucket to the League this June was therefore especially welcome and, I think, appreciated in the practical evidence of the guests responding.

This was the last of the four annual meetings. The October meeting was held in Marblehead, and included an excellent illustrated lecture on the town and admission to the beautiful Lee mansion, the home of the society.

The January1 meeting was held in Arlington and had an exceptional lecture on the New England background of Abraham Lincoln and a talk by Cyrus Dallin, the famous sculptor, who brought for us a model of Paul Revere to be erected some day in Arlington, he hopes. Open to League members was Arlington's historic house where many colonials lost their lives as the British column retreated from Concord. The April meeting, appropriately, was in Lexington, with a scholarly review of Lexington battle and open doors for its three historic houses.

As a climax came Nantucket. Fortunately, the weather was favorable.

The Bay State League has always received the finest hospitality from its hosts. The program of each this year was exceptionally fine.

I admit, how­ ever, that the Nantucket half of my heart swelled with pride over the reception accorded by this Association to its one hundred twenty-five guests.

To Mr. Kimball is due the warmest praise for all the painstaking provisions for hospitality and thanks again are due the ladies who turned a tea into a social party. The opening of all four houses for three days was a gift in itself.

Especially should I like to report on the address by our President, Mr. Edouard A. Stackpole. We historical societies are all founded on the belief that the present rests upon the past and that all the relics we so faith­ fully preserve are valuable as records of our national life. Never has a more practical demonstration been made than in Mr. Stackpole's paper pn Nantucket in the Pacific Ocean. By a study of the old journals and log­ books, some of which are in the Nantucket Whaling Museum, Mr. Stackpole has aided the government to establish the United States' discoveries of those islands which form the basis of the new airplane routes. The Nantucket whaleship bound out for three or four years of voyaging is bound in time to the air clipper which spans the Pacific in the same number of days.

Thank you, Nantucket.

Anti-Slavery in Nantucket

BY JAMES MONAGHAN I think it may be safely stated that the settlement of Nantucket was largely the result of the religious persecutions in Massachusetts. Mrs. Hemans wrote her famous "Landing of the Pilgrims," in which she asked and answered the following questions: "What sought they thus afar?

Bright jewels of the mine?

The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?

They sought a faith's pure shrine.

"Aye, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod!

They have left unstained, what there they found, Freedom to worship God!" This may be good poetry but it is certainly not good history. As a fact it was not many years after the landing of the Pilgrims that they began their persecution of all who refused to worship as they did. One of my wife's early ancestors had the unique record of being the most imprisoned man in all New England, because he insisted on attending his own Baptist meetings; and another relative, Henry Dunster, was removed as first President of Harvard College because he refused to accept the doctrine of infant damna­ tion. But these are mild cases compared to the treatment of the Quakers.

Some of them were killed and all of them outlawed. It was a punishable offense even to give them aid or shelter. It is not surprising, therefore, that many "sought a faith's pure shrine" elsewhere.

Roger Williams set up a rival government, founded upon freedom, and the Quakers flocked to Nantucket. As far as I know, their friendship with the Indians was as unbroken as Penn's in Pennsylvania. Many of the Friends here had slaves, but, on Sept. 26, 1716, the Friends' Monthly Meeting recorded that it "is not agreeable to Truth for Friends to purchase slaves and keep them [for the] Term of liffe." On Dec. 23, 1729-30, the records of the Monthly Meeting show that "our frd [friend] Elihu Coleman offered a small piece of Manuscript to this meeting which was read & approved in & by this meeting & ordered to be carried to ye Quarterly Meeting at Rhode island." I have not been able to find what the Rhode Island Society did, but Alexander Starbuck says in his History of Nantucket, page 621, note, "as shown, the Society of Friends put itself definitely on record on the subject as early as February, 1730 (N S)."

Elihu Coleman's pamphlet has led to the mis-statement that it was the first protest against slavery in America. Historians all agree that the first protest was written in 1688 by Daniel Francis Pastorius, a remarkable man, of Germantown, Pa., who was Whittier's "Pennsylvania Pilgrim." It was composed and written in the house of my first American ancestor, Thomas Conrad, in Germantown, Pennsylvania. It was adopted by the Germantown Friends, and sent up to the Monthly Meeting and by them forwarded to •«( 23 )§•

the Quarterly Meeting at Philadelphia and thence to the Yearly Meeting, and by it sent to the Yearly Meeting at Burlington, New Jersey, and by the Burlington Meeting it was quietly suppressed.

To both the Nantucket and Germantown Friends belongs the honor of being early in the right of a great cause which finally prevailed.

Between the years 1769 and 1770, the case of Prince Boston, a young colored slave, got into the Court of Common Pleas of Nantucket at the suit of an alleged owner. The jury found for the defendant and the magistrates manumitted him. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court and Mr. Wm. Rotch retained John Adams as counsel but the appeal was never heard.

The effect of this trial was that all the slaves on the Island were pronounced to be free.

In 1822 a runaway slave named Arthur Cooper, who had found his way to Nantucket, was being hunted by his reputed owners. When the United States marshal got to Cooper's residence in "Guinea," a colored section of Nantucket, he was met by a large crowd, among them some of the most prominent men of the island, including Judge Walter Folger and the magistrate Sylvanus Macy.

Miss Anna Gardner, whose father, grandfather and other relatives were present, gave an account of the transaction. She says: "Some time was occupied in front of the house by reading the deputy's warrant of arrest [purposely prolonged] and by the talk of Judge Folger to the crowd Disguised in my father's coat and Uncle Thomas [Macy's] broadbrimmed Quaker hat, Arthur Cooper had reached our back door before the wrangle in front of the [other] house had so far subsided that the officers dare enter on their nefarious quest."

The magistrate then warned the officers that if they stayed on the Island a riot might occur, and they took the hint and left empty-handed.

Miss Gardner's house, No. 40 Orange street and Gorham's Court, in the above account, suggests the place of an "Underground Railroad Station."

Whether it was used for such purposes at other times or if there were other "underground stations" on the Island, I do not know, but we may at least call Miss Gardner's home a temporary station of the "Underground Rail­ road."

The President of the Underground Railroad for some thirty years was Levi Coffin of North Carolina and Cincinnati. He derived his ancestry from the Island, his grandfather William and his father Levi having been born here. His book of "Reminiscences" covers the period of his life in the work of the Underground Railroad, work that Robert Louis Stevenson calls a "much more than honorable movement which, if atonement were possible for nations, should have gone far to wipe away the guilt of slavery."

You will understand why this is a subject in which I am greatly inter­ ested when I tell you that my wife's home, "The Pines," in Chester County, Pennsylvania, was an Underground Railroad Station, the home of Chandler and Hannah Monaghan Darlington.

I quote the following from Arthur H. Gardner's essay on the "Big Shop," a house still standing on the northwest corner of Milk and Saratoga streets:

4 24

"When the memorable anti-slavery convention was held in Nantucket, in August, 1841, and rotten eggs and brick-bats formed such potent argu­ ments that public halls and churches were closed against the [extreme] abolitionists for prudential reasons, the proprietors of the Big Shop tendered them its free use and guaranteed protection. The offer was accepted and the Big Shop men did picket duty outside, while the business of the meeting went on inside without interruption.

"At that mid-summer meeting seventy-five years ago [now 97] history was made. The convention was called by Miss Anna Gardner, of this town, as secretary, and there were present, besides local members and sympa­ thizers, William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury, Ed­ mund Quincy and many others of national repute, then or in after years, and with them came a young colored man called Frederick Douglass, a name assumed to conceal his identity, but which he retained through his life. He was a runaway slave from Virginia who had recently worked his way north, and settled and married in New Bedford. He was prevailed upon to ad­ dress the meeting. It was his first speech in public and he commenced stammering and hesitating, but, gathering confidence as he proceeded, elec­ trified his hearers by the fervid eloquence with which he pleaded for his race and its emancipation from bondage."

I quote Miss Gardner's account of the rest of the meeting, as she was secretary and should be able to state the case with accuracy. I read from her statement: "Garrison, seeing his opportunity to promote the cause arose, and, after a few characteristic remarks, he appealed to his audience with the query, 'Have we been listening to a thing, a chattel personal, or to a man?' 'A man! a man!' shouted the audience with one accord. 'Shall such a man be held a slave in a Christian land?'

'No! No!' again shouted the audience in a voice that seemed to make the rafters ring. Raising his tones to their fullest power, he again exclaimed, 'Shall such a man ever be sent back to bondage from the free soil of old Massachusetts?' With a tremendous roar the whole assembly sprang to its feet and continued shouting, 'No! No! No!' and Garrison's voice was drowned in enthusiastic responses."

It remains for me to recite some of the activities of two prominent Nantucketers. In 1842, Phebe Ann Coffin, later Mrs. Hanaford, at the age of 13, contributed an anti-slavery poem to the Nantucket newspaper. In 1853, at the age of 24, about the time Harriett Beecher Stowe was writing "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Mrs. Hanaford published an anti-slavery story, "Lucretia, the Quakeress." It was dedicated by permission to Nathaniel Barney "long and extensively known for his general philanthropy, his interest in the cause of anti-slavery, and sympathy with the oppressed of every clime and hue."

The scene is laid upon an island, Nantucket no doubt, and the plot somewhat duplicates Fanny Kemble's life, whose "Residence on a Georgia Plantation" ranks with Mrs. Stowe's book in its effect on slavery. Lucretia, however, refused to marry the slave-holder until he reformed, when they were married and lived happily ever after, as did not the brilliant Fanny Kemble.

Mrs. Hanaford also wrote a Life of Lincoln. Miss Helen Cartwright McCleary says: "This book had great appeal, and was the first biography of Lincoln written after his death. It reached a sale of 20,000 copies, 5,000 <8(25^

copies of which were translated into German." Mrs. Hanaford also wrote and published a long Lincoln poem entitled "Our Martyred President."

She published many other volumes, among them "The Best of Books," the chapters of which had been delivered as lectures in the Baptist Sunday School of Nantucket, "Field, Gunboat and Prison," being records of the Civil War, a life of George Peabody, having a sale of 16,000 copies, and a life of Charles Dickens, besides other small volumes, one of them being "The Heart of Siasconset." For other details see Scribner's "Dictionary of American Biography" and Who's Who in America, vol. VII. Mrs. Hanaford was a popular writer, speaker and preacher and filled many pulpits. I had the privilege of hearing her at Easton, Pa., when I was a student at Lafayette College. The Historical Association's Museum has a Hanaford showcase with interesting medals, manuscripts, etc.

I must close this paper with a few lines about another Lucretia—none other than our beloved Lucretia Coffin Mott. She spent the greater part of her life near Philadelphia. Whenever she lectured at the Longwood Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends or at Kennett Square, Pa., she stayed at "The Pines," my wife's home, where my wife, as a little girl, remembers her well and treasures a little keep-sake given by her. While the most of Lucretia's long and eventful life was spent off this Island, she came here frequently to speak on the anti-slavery movement and other reforms.

A fine life of Lucretia Mott has been published lately, which makes her live again. Mrs. Hanaford, in her volume "Daughters of America," quotes a few beautiful lines of John W. Chadwick, given below. I will close my paper with Mrs. Hanaford's text: "Of Lucretia Mott, the world-known woman preacher, many have often been led to say, as they listened to her in the Unitarian Church, or Hicksite Meeting House, or Siasconset Schoolhouse, 'She spoke of justice, truth and love, How soft her words distilled!

She spoke of God, and all the place Was with His presence filled'."
