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.
"Thomas Prentiss entered Harvard College at the age of 14 and graduated in 1811 at the age of 18. He grew up in the house at the corner of North Street and Lowell Mason Road, which is still standing, part of the Prentiss Place development. In 1812 he taught at the Brookline grammar school and by 1814 he was licensed to preach. He was settled as first pastor in Charlestown in 1817. He was there just three months when he came down with typhus fever and died."
