A Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"On April 24, 1749 the Henry Harding house on 49 Bridge Street, named Quinobequin, burnt to the ground. The fire took all of Harding’s savings of money. We learn through the settlement after his death 15 years later that Asa Boyden made his coffin, Amos Plimpton dug his grave, Benjamin Hews tolled the church bell and David Wight drank three pints of rum in his honor."
