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.

"In 1931 the body of John Dee of Cambridge, a resident at Medfield State Hospital was found floating in the Charles River, downstream from the hospital, by the Farm Street Bridge on the Dover-Sherborn town line. Dee had been missing from the hospital for three days."
