PERSONALS The village extends sympathy to Mr. Louis Adams in . the death o! his father last week In Novo Scotia. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Wilson have recently been In New York for a few days. MAIN STREET There are very few villages like Centerville in one particular. It was never a commercial, but was residential place and the houses on our Main Street were built by men of culture, or courage, or both. with sufficient means to erect dig-, nitled and suitable homes. Beyond Main Street are other houses of the same quality, but interspersed by n rapidly increashing number of modern homes, wlilch in time will create and establish their own character and personality. But the street with its beautiful trees and lawns and homes, long seasoned by love and life, ought to be kept In- violate, like some museum piece. In these brief times about these historic housese there is no inten- tion to write at length but rather to call attention to a few facts of compelling interest , so that "pass- ing by, you may remember." And like a few person we know, you could cut them out to mount In your own Centerville book. in 1795, one John Richardson, a young Harvard man, somewhat burdened and Interrupted by 111 health, came to Centerville to teach school and opened the first Gram- mar School on the Cape in this village. Anil he found not only a vocation, but a wife In Hannah Lewis. A house-and-home lot was chosen on Phinney 's Lane and the buildin g then on it was sold and moved "up street" to be part of the pleasant residence of Miss Isuhelle Chllds and since her death , of Miss Sadie Bearse. John Richardson then built for his own needs a home on this lot between 1795 and 1800 (tbe exact date not known) and to It. as the years passed and needs arose, were added various ells and rooms by his own and later generations. Several sons and daughters arrived to complete the family. Two of them. Captain Josiah Richardson and Captain Ephralm Richardson, became famous clipper-ship sea captains. Captain Ephralm built the house next door and later sold it to his sister, Asenath , Mrs. Al- bert Scudder. He built the house across the street for a second wife , Jane Phinney, who was born in "the oldest house in the village" before described in these items, further down qn the Lane. For years the cluster of three houses were owned, occupied and enjoyed by this evidently closely knit fam- ily but in time all but the original "Homestead" passed into other hands. After Captain Epbraim 's death , his widow, Jane Richardson, sold her home and. with the permission of her sister-in-law. Mrs. James |Worrell, built an addition to the ' original house and lived there for the remainder of her life , dying at the advannced age of S years, In 1 9 1 1 . She was lame from a broken hip, but her faculties were unim- paired. An excellent picture ot this line appearing lady is in the Old Home Week book. Her rooms are now a separate apartment, but still a part of the Worrell Homestead. Elisha Worrell , son of Mrs. James Worrell, went to Boston at the age of 17, man-led there and had a family of three daughters. He always returned to the old home for vacations and brief reBts and was devoted to the village and Its church . until his death a few years I since. One of these daughters. Miss Dorothy Worrell, established her I permanent residence in the he- loved Worrell Homestead three years ago and carries on Its tra- ditions. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Frank Archer , who have spent the winter in New York , were recently at their sum- mer home, Cranberry cottage. Again we welcome two new citi- zens. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice French have a little daughter, Patricia Ann , and a son has arrived to he a member of the family of Mr . and 1 Mrs. John Collins. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Miller were at the' .- cottage this last weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard Bleicken and their three sons have lately been In the village. Harold Dunham has returned to his former position with tbe Conant Greenhouses In West Barnstable. Mrs. Philip Neal und children huve changed their residence to Bourne, which Is Mr. Neal's home ' town. On St. Patrick's Day Mr. Law- i renoe Vroom was given a birthday party by his friends, with a banquet and dancing. CENTERVILLE NEWS In tbe closing talk of tbe three lectures given this season by Mrs. ! Frank M. Taylor of Brookllne in I the Barnstable High School Audi - ; torium on current world events for the benefit of the Hospital Aid ! Association . Barnstable Branch. I Mrs . Taylor discussed tbe North I Atlantic Pact , saying It was impos- 1 slble to predict where or to what it would lead. Referring to the i enormity of Its possible influence I and inclusions , she said the Mon- |roe Doctrine paled beside it World > Federalists now-hope for a politi- I cal unit out of tbe North Atlantic Pact. I Warning that Russia 's moves are ! only tactics and represent no i change in policy, Mrs. Taylor said I that a reshutling of officials is for i the purpose of showing a different . face on mutters. The Russians are I stymied by the success of our Mar- I shall Plan . In the next war, If it comes, we shall not be able to avoid being at- ! tacked , in the opinion of Mrs. Tuy- j lor, who continued by saying that ' our moral fibre , as a people, Is be- |ing weakened by our Increasingly 1 bureaucratic government. We must t gather our forces and cease duck- |ing out from under our responsi- bilities. If we allow our ship to go down, we will go down with it. We must brace ourselves for what may come, for we may get a wallop. Turning to our strength , Mrs. Taylor pointed out that a country founded on the worship of God can- I not be kept down. Loynlty to fam- ily, country , God will in the end bring people back to spiritual values.
