MoREY & Son Grekn FIELD, Mass. r 7£ A NOTE TO VISITORS In viewing the Collection of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association this fact should be borne in mind. It is not a sci- entific exhibition, or an art museum. Not a single article is here preserved on account of its artistic qualities. The Collection is founded on purely historical lines, and is the direct memorial of the inhabitants of this valley, both Indian and Puritan. No system of carefully graded classification is practicable, nor is it desirable. Many articles may seem trivial in themselves, but as a part of the whole broad scheme of the projectors the most humble belong here as much as the most notable. All have been the free donation of the people themselves, and it is a tribute to them, as well as to the guardian spirit of the Association. The simple descriptive lines refer to persons who have lived and died, mostly in private life in this vicinity, whose memorials should be inspected reverently, and not in a spirit of criticism. The Po- cumtuck Valley Memorial Association is essentially "of the people, by the people, and for the people." INTRODUCTION Several years ago the congested condition of our Collection forced an expansion. The rearrangement of our material ren- dered the old catalogue more a hindrance than a help to visitors. A new edition became an imperative necessity. Only after )^ears of hard labor, which has been wholly a labor of love, the work has been completed. In the execution of this work something more than a mere directory to the visitor has been attempted. The descriptive and historical notes have been made with reference to a some- what wider circulation. Public acknowledgment is due to those whose contributions of articles to our Collection have made our scheme a success. The utmost care has been taken to give the correct name and residence of the donors. If a few omissions be found in giving them due credit, or if a notice be lacking of some of the exhibits it can be fairly chargeable to the crumbling paper, fading ink and treacherous paste of modern date.

Wells,* their associates and suc- cessors," were made a corporation. Under this Act an organi- zation was effected May 26, 1870, and the following Constitution was adopted. CONSTITUTION Article 1. — The objects of this Association shall be the col- lecting and preserving such memorials, books, papers and curi- osities, as may tend to illustrate and perpetuate the history of the early settlers of this region, and of the race which vanished before them; and the erection of a memorial hall in which such collections can be securely deposited. Art. 2. — The officers of this Association shall be a President, two Vice Presidents, Recording and Corresponding Secretaries and a Treasurer, who, with seven others to be elected, shall con- stitute a Council of thirteen, f The President, and in his absence one of the Vice Presidents, shall preside at all meetings of the Association and the Council. The Recording Secretary shall keep a true record of the doings of the Association and the Coun- cil, and a list of all the meml^ers of the Association with date of admission. The Corresponding Secretary shall conduct the correspondence of the Association, and keep on file all letters received and copies of all letters sent. The Treasurer shall give such surety for the faithful performance of his duties as the * Trustees of the Old Indian House Door. t By an amendment the Council was afterward enlarpjed to twenty-one. CONSTITUTION Council shall require; he shall collect all dues, and receive and pay out all money belonging to the Association under the di- rection of the Finance Committee, without whose order no money shall be invested or paid from the treasury. He shall report at the annual meeting in detail, the receipts and expendi- tures of the preceding year; and shall keep the books always open to the inspection of any member. He shall keep a list of the members of the Association, with date of all payments made as fees for membership. The Council, seven members of which shall constitute a quo- rum, shall have the general management of the affairs of the Association; shall appoint annually a Finance Committee of three, who shall be members of their own body, a Curator, and such sub-committees as may be necessary. Art. 3. — The annual meeting of the Association shall be on the last Tuesday of February, when all officers shall be chosen by ballot, and a majority of ballots shall be necessary to elect. The annual meeting of the Council shall be on the same day. Art. 4. — Any person may become and continue a member of this Association by the payment of three dollars, and an annual tax of one dollar. Any person may become a life member, and be entitled to a certificate of membership, on the payment of twenty-five dollars. Any person may become a life Councillor by a vote of the Association, on the payment of one hundred dollars, and shall be entitled to a certificate of membership. The first annual tax shall be due March 1, 1871. Any member may withdraw from the Association by paying all dues, and giving a written notice to the Secretary. Art. 5. — The Association shall incur no debts beyond the amount of money in the treasury; nor shall any member be subject to any taxation by the Association beyond the dues as before mentioned. Art. 6. — The Curator shall have charge of all books, papers and curiosities of the Association, and shall record in a book kept for that purpose a full list of the articles in his possession, with the name of the donor when such articles are presented. Art. 7. — The stated meetings of the Association and Coun- cil shall be called by the President, who shall give notice through some newspaper published in the county, of the time and place 8 CONSTITUTION of holding the same, seven days before the time appointed. Articles shall be inserted in said call on the written application of three members. He shall in like manner, call occasional meetings of the Council upon the apphcation of three members, and of the Association, upon the apphcation of seven members, said application being in writing, stating the object for which such meeting is called. Art. 8. — This Constitution may be altered or amended by the Association at any annual meeting, upon a vote of two- thirds of the members present and voting, notice of said pro- posed change having been given in the call of said meeting. Under this Constitution these officers were elected, May 26, 1870. President, HON. GEORGE SHELDON of Deerfield. 1st Vice President, JOSIAH DEAN CANNING of Gill. Sd Vice President, JAMES MONROE CRAFTS of Whately. Recording Secretary, DEA. NATHANIEL HITCHCOCK of Deerfield. Corresponding Secretanj, REV. ROBERT CRAWFORD, D. D. of Deerfield. Treasurer, DEA. NATHANIEL HITCHCOCK of Deerfield. Councillors Rev. Peter Voorhees Finch, Greenfield, Moses Stebbins, South Deerfield, D. Orlando Fisk, Shelburne, Roswell Field, Gill, Jonathan Johnson, Montague, Rev. Edgar Buckingham, Deerfield, Levi W. Rice, Greenfield. Thus the plan entertained for maii}^ years, and considered almost hopeless of execution, became a settled and an active purpose, chartered by the State, inviting and soon receiving public confidence. How well the spirit and the letter of the charter have been carried out the work accomplished by this Association best tells. First in importance, was the acquisition of an eminently suitable building — itself of historic interest — in which to gather and preserve the rare and extensive collection of antiquities already looming into view. MEMORIAL HALL This structure was erected in 1798, by the Corporation of Deerfield Academy, which was chartered by the Legislature under an Act approved by Gov. Samuel Adams, March 21, 1797. The Academy was conducted with success for three-quarters of a century, spreading its influence far and wide, and numbering among its preceptors and pupils men and women of learning and talent. In 1875 its fund was merged with the legacy of Mrs. Esther Dickinson to found the Deerfield Academy and Dickinson High School. In 1878 this building was secured by this Association, and after repairs in which the unity of the old building was preserved with care, it was re-dedicated as Memorial Hall, September 8, 1880. Addresses were made by eminent men, including George William Curtis, Charles Eliot Norton, Charles Dudley Warner, Robert Roberts Bishop and others. In this Hall we now have on exhibition a collection illustrat- ing early New England life, which, we believe, is unequalled by any other in the country. The Association has here placed Mural Tablets to the memory of the sufferers of February 29, 1704, and others to keep ever in mind the pioneers of the Valley. It has reared an indestructi- ble memorial on the spot where Eunice Williams sank under the savage blow. Through its inspiration monuments have been placed on many historic spots, and Field Meetings have been held for their dedication. It has published four volumes of original matter. It has created a dignified and sympathetic public sentiment, and formed a nucleus for the constantly grow- ing antiquarian spirit of the Valley. It has established itself firmly in the hearts of the people, and in its wake have sprung up Town Histories and Historical Societies by the score. The following lists will show how widespread is the interest in the work of the Association. 10 LIFE MEMBERS LIFE COUNCILLORS Henry Childs, Buffalo, N. Y., 1870.

EXPLANATORY NOTE When arranging the articles in this Collection it was found expedient to identify each with the room in which it was to be deposited. To this end the initials of each room are prefixed to the number of the article on every label, thus: In the Indian Room, IR20; Main Hall, MH20, &c. In several rooms are cases marked A, B, C, and so on. Each case has a separate series of numbers, and each label bears its proper letter and number. Articles marked * are a few scattered remnants of the Academy Museum established in 1799 which came to us with the building. Where no residence is given with the name of the donor, Deerfield is understood. CATALOGUE Doorsteps. Red Sandstone. From a quarry in Wisdom, one mile due- northwest.

The "Old Indian House" Door is by far the most reahstic rehc of the strenuous Ufe of our ancestors in the Museum, and probably in New England. The jagged hole in its face is a tangible exhibit of savagery and civilization in contact, not elsewhere seen. The Old Indian House escaped the conflagration when the town was sacked by the French and Indians, February 29, 1704; it was taken down in 1849. The Door fell into the hands of David S. Hoyt, by whose heirs it was sold to Dr. Daniel Denison Slade of Chestnut Hill, Boston. At the solicitation of Deer- field citizens, he relinquished the prize, and was present at the celebration of its return, March 2, 1868. The old Door was then placed in the hands of a self-perpetuating board of five Trustees (who must always be residents of Deerfield Street). It was in- closed in a glass case, and was hung in the hall of the Pocumtuck Hotel. This was the first article taken out when that building was burned in 1879. The Door was finally transferred to this Association by the Trustees of the Old Indian House Door. The ornamental moulding fastened to the ceiling above was taken from the east pediment of the Old House. 2. Horseshoe. Hung as a talisman over the inner casing of the front door of the Old Indian House, when it was built. Mrs. Catherine W. Hoyt. 3. Original Door Posts. From the front door of the Old Indian House.

These relics were found in a group of graves, on a high point of land on the donor's farm, about half a mile north of Turners Falls, in 1881. The bodies, twelve in number, were buried with their feet resting on a circle about five feet in diameter, the heads radiating out like the spokes of a wheel. The abundance of charcoal gave evidence of the presence of fire at the burial. So far as known, no other instance of this mode of sepulture has been found in New- England. It is a significant fact that among the bones and char- coal were fragments of implements broken by fire. Many of these fragments could be fitted together, showing that the implements had been placed in the fire while whole. These relics are but a small part of those found in the graves. Timothy M.

Miscellaneous Collection of Soapstone Pottery. Found in this region. Sundrj' donors. Table J. Pitted Stones. The use of these stones has not yet been discovered. Their characteristics are one or more pits or depressions on each side, 38 CAT.VLOGUE OF RELICS IN MEMORIAL HALL although some have them on one side only, and others have two, three and more on each side. The stones vary in size and shape, and run from small pebbles of two inches in diameter to large boulders four feet in circumference, weighing over sixty pounds. They are not found in all localities where Indians lived, like their ordinary relics, but have nearly all come from a few particular localities within two miles of Memorial Hall. They constitute an interesting problem, there being nearly three hundred specimens. Only a few can possibly be classed as "Nut Crackers." The others are the work of an un- known people for unkno^m purposes. 1. The largest Pitted Stone in this collection, which weighs 63 1 lbs. Joseph N. Fuller. 42 lbs George Sheldon. 3 oz. Edward A.
