Scrapbook of the Operation Little Vittles Committee
Berlin Airlift and Operation Little Vittles
Operation Little Vittles was a goodwill mission to drop candy to German children during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949 and was headquartered in Chicopee, Massachusetts. This scrapbook is a record of the Operation Little Vittles Committee and provides information about the group of volunteers who were involved. The scrapbook contains official minutes of their meetings, the committee’s constitution and rules of operation, newspaper clippings, handwritten letters in German from children who received candy during the drops and a few photographs. The Little Vittles committee was responsible for coordinating and gathering candy and handkerchiefs to be delivered to Westover Air Force Base. From there the supplies were brought to Germany to be dropped to children in West Berlin.
Operation Little Vittles came out of the Berlin Airlift, an operation by the United States and England that brought food to the people of West Berlin during the Soviet Blockade of Germany. Little Vittles was started by Air Force Pilot Gail S. Halvorsen after he handed out candy to a group of children and saw their reaction to his gesture. On the next flight he dropped candy tied to handkerchief parachutes. This grew to regular drops of candy by Halvorsen and his crew. As news spread of the operation in the United States the Little Vittles Committee was formed to handle the volume of candy and handkerchief donations as well as bring the supplies to the air force base in Chicopee.

CHICOPEE
AS once a part of Springfield proper, and now so closely allied to
it in its business and social relations, as to still make it substantially
a. prominent branch of the growing family which cling to "the old
folks at home." It has, nevertheless, a name and fame
of its own, most worthily won, and in point of industry, enterprise and
intelligent thrift, ranks among the first New England manufacturing
towns.
We append a brief sketch of many of its prominent industries and
business establishments
THE DWIGHT MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
OF the manufacturing interests of Chicopee, the Dwight Company is the most
important, occupying seven large mills, and furnishing employment, at the present
time, to 1,500 operatives. It was organized about 1833, with a capital of $1,200,000 which
has remained unchanged to the present time. The first mill was begun July 15, 1833;
the last one, June 8, 1844. Originally, there were three separate corporations, but these
were early combined in one. The total number of spindles, now in operation, is 110,000, of
looms, 2,671. The stock is nearly all owned in Boston, as it has been from the first, and
the avowed policy of the management is to allow the outside world the least possible
knowledge of their affairs. John A. Vernon of Boston, is president, Charles W.
Freeland of the same city, treasurer, G. W. Bedlow, agent, and Minot, Hooper & Co. of
Boston and New York, are the selling agents.
THE AMES MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
Second in magnitude of its operations, though first in public interest, is the Ames
Company, located on the Chicopee River, just above the Dwight Company's mills, and
close by the Center Depot, on the Chicopee Falls branch. It was organized in 1842,
with a capital of $30,000, James T. Ames and N. P. Ames, of Chicopee, and J. K.
Mills, Edmund Dwight, founder of .the Dwight Manufacturing Company, and Ignatius
Sargent of Boston, being the principal Stockholders. Mr. Dwight was its first president. Its
early history shows a steady growth and repeated enlargement of its capital, until
in 1850, it reached the sum of $250,000, its present figure. During the war, from 1500 to
1600 hands were employed, and large supplies of cannon, swords, and
projectiles were furnished the government. In 1867, a change in the management
occurred, Messrs. Emerson Gaylord, T. W. Carter and E. 0. Carter, of Chicopee,
securing, with Mr. James T. Ames, a majority of the stock, and transferring the
headquarters of the Company from Boston to Chicopee.
Mr. Ames, who had previously been the Company’s agent, now became its
president, and held the position until January, 1872, when Emerson Gaylord was
chosen ashis successor, and held the place until last January, when, a majority of the
stock having been previously purchased by Clifford Arrick, of Washington, D.
C., and Mr. A. C. Woodworth, son-in-law of Mr. .Ames, there was another change in the
management, and Mr. Arrick was chosen president, Mr. Woodworth agent, A. G.
Bowles, of Boston, treasurer, and Messrs. Arrick and Woodworth, with Nathaniel
Hooper, of Boston, A. G. Dexter and James T. Ames, directors, 'with E. 0. Carter
as clerk. A short time before his death, Hon. Samuel Hooper, of Boston,
purchased a large interest, his stock being subsequently bought by Messrs.' Arrick and
Woodworth.
The new president will be remembered for his sharp contest with General Dyer,
two or three years ago, and is· best known in military circles as the owner of the
Eureka projectile which is now being tested by the ordnance department at
Washington; so far with very satisfactory results. Should the government approve this projectile, its
manufacture will be brought to these works and insure-a material increase of the
present working force of 350. At present the Company is manufacturing bronze statuary,
for which the works are· widely noted, fancy swords of which from 50 to 10_0 per day
are produced, machinists' tools and special machinery. The whole history of the
Company has been a prosperous one, the dividends from January, 1847, to April,
1871, aggregating 432 per cent. During the war and immediately after they ranged
from 20 to
35 per cent.
THE GAYLORD MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
The Gaylord Company, manufacturers of cabinet locks and malleable iron
castings, are located just above the works of the Ames Company. Their corporate
existence dates back only from 1863, but their business dates back to 1856, when
Emerson Gay lord, who for fifteen years previous had been employed as a workman
and contractor for the Ames Company, bought out its interest in the manufacture
of military accoutrements; fire hose and leather belting, and set up for himself,
employing only three or four hands. In July, 1859, he received the contract for
the construction of all the mail bags used by the general government, a contract renewed
in 1863 and again in 1867 and this at once gave a great impetus to his business. At the opening of the
War the government called upon him for supplies, a new mill was erected, the working
force increased to 400, and every nerve strained to meet the demand. Growing out of
this came the organization of the Company having a capital ·stock of $100,000, with
Emerson Gaylord as president, Jerome Wells as treasurer, and Messrs.
Gaylord, Wells, T. W. Carter, James T. Ames and E. N. Snow as directors. Like
most institutions of the class they reaped a rich harvest from the war, and after it was
over were in good shape to undertake the manufacture of cabinet locks, a
difficult and rarely successful work, but one in which their success was all that
could be wished. They now make over 2,000,000 locks per year, in 350 styles. The
Company has undergone few changes. Sereno Gaylord, brother of Emerson,
succeeded Mr. Wells as treasurer in 1864, and was succeeded by A. F. Gaylord, son of
the president of the Company, in
1870. The firm at present employs about 60 hands. James L. Pease is agent
of the corporation.
S. BLAISDELL, JR. & CO.
A business wonderful in its growth, and remarkable in its prosperity, is that of S.
Blaisdell, Jr. & Co., whose modest office is close by the Chicopee Junction Depot. Its origin dates back to 1863, when George Mattoon and Andrew Hubbard engaged in the
Cotton waste business, at Chicopee Falls. Mr. Hubbard died not long after, and in 1865
It was removed to Chicopee, and Mr. Mattoon continued the business alone, untill868,
when S. Blaisdell, Jr. joined him, the firm name being Mattoon & Blaisdell, and so
continuing until Mr. Mattoon's retirement in May, 1872. At the time the new co-
partnership was formed, the firm had a capital of $10,000, and did a yearly business of
from $30,000 to $50,000. In less than two years; this was increased over 100 per
cent, and the two following years saw it again doubled. Since that time, its growth has
been even more rapid, and during the twelve montl1s ending April 30, 1875, the sales aggregated more
than a million of dollars, those for the last three months of it reaching the sum
of $350,000. The capital stock is now $150,000. The freight bills of the firm for
the year, were upwards of $37,000; their telegraph bills, 75 per cent of the total business of
The town. The cotton waste business has long been one of secondary importance,
their trade being principally in cotton itself, which they receive direct from the cotton
sheds, through every port in the South, from Norfolk, Va., to New Orleans and
Galveston. They make a specialty of supplying extra fine cotton to manufacturers
of fine under· wear, and deal largely in fine waste, to be mixed with wool for spinning
purposes. They do likewise a considerable business in paper stock and paper, and
anticipate, for the coming year, a trade largely in excess of anything hitherto. The
firm at present consists of the three brothers, S. Jar, Charles M. and George A.
Blaisdell.
CARRIAGE MANUFACTURING.
Half a mile west of the Chicopee Junction Depot of the Connecticut River Railroad,
and in plain view of it, is the extensive carriage manufacturing establishment of
Edison Clark. The business was started about twenty years ago, in two buildings;
one sixty feet in length, and two stories in height, and the other sixty-five feet long,
and a story and a half high. The works at present occupy four separate buildings,
two and three stories high, and respectively, one hundred by twenty-five feet, ninety
by twenty-five, eighty-five by twenty-five, and sixty-five by thirty-five. About
thirty men are employed, and the business done exceeds that of any other carriage
manufactory in the State, outside of Boston, amounting yearly to something more
than $40,000. All sorts of light work, buggies, carryalls, etc., are built, and nothing
is allowed to go out which is not in every respect first-class work... Most of the
workmen are employed steadily, year in and year out, instead of being discharged at
the close of the busy sea· son, insuring a reliable force of competent men at all times.
In the same line is the establishment ·of W. H. Gilmore, at the intersection of
summer and Cross. Streets, just outside the business section of Chicopee. A single
small building, now used as a wood shop, sufficed for its beginnings in 1842, since which it
has been three times enlarged, and the two or three hands, at first employed, have been
in creased to from eighteen to :twenty-five, according to the demands of the season.
Formerly Mr. Gilmore as engaged largely in building heavy wagons, his goods having
the very· highest reputation, and being sold largely at the South. Recently he has
confined himself principally to lighter work, his sales some years reaching $10,000 or
more, but has never sacrificed his reputation for perfect maternal and honest work.
His goods are mostly marketed in this vicinity, though occasional sales are made at the
West and South, and some have been sent as far off as California.
BYRT & BULLENS.
Byrt & Bullens, tanners and curriers, do business on the bank of the Connecticut
river, opposite the Chicopee Junction depot, and have been so occupied for the past
twelve years, employing from five to ten men and using from 100 to 200 sides of leather
weekly, mostly' calfskins, their business being principally in harness and suspender
leather.
BOBBINS.
B. Leavitt is one of the oldest, if not the oldest manufacturer in Chicopee, now
actively engaged in business, having occupied his present location between the
establishments of the Ames· and Gaylord manufacturing companies, for more than
forty years, his yearly business varying from $5,000.00 to $20,000.00. He formerly
made both bobbins and shuttles, but for some years past has confined himself to
bobbins, supplying the home demand and something beyond it.
ATTORNEYS.
At the head of the local bar, is George D. Robinson, for nearly twenty years a
resident of the town, a practicing lawyer for the past nine years, and for a like number
Previously, principal of the High School. Mr. Robinson was a member of the
Legislature of 1874, and was last fall a candidate for a second term, when he ran
largely ahead of his ticket, but failed of an election. His office is in Cabot Hall block.
In the same block is the office of Luther White, for the past five or six years a
successful practitioner. He is a young man yet, and has held no public office except
that of school committee.
L. E. Hitchcock, who has his office in Kendall’s block on Market Square, was
admitted to the bar about a year ago.
Jonathan Allen, a graduate of the office of E. B. Maynard, of Springfield, has been in
practice in Chicopee about eighteen months. He has just opened an office in Burke's new
block on lower Exchange Street.
H. L. Sherman is also a late comer. His office is with Mr. Robinson.
BAKERY.
Chicopee's only bakery is that of W. C. Wedge & Co., who have been in business
for the past fourteen years on Center street. As patentees and manufacturers of Wedge's
rotary oven, the firm has a reputation far beyond its local limits.
BANKS.
The First National, formerly the Cabot Bank, has a capital of $150,000.00, with
a large surplus. The following are its officers: President, Jerome Wells; cashier,
F. B. Doten; directors, Jerome Wells, T. W. Carter, Emerson Gaylord, Erastus
Stebbins, and E. 0. Carter. The Cabot Bank was instituted March 1, 1845, John
Chase being its first president.
The Chicopee Savings Bank was organized in 1854 with Jerome Wells as president and
Henry H. Harris as treasurer. The latter has held his office ever since. Mr. Wells
retired at the close of last year. The present official board is constituted as
follows: President, George D. Robinson; vice-presidents, E. 0. Carter, A. G. Parker,
Emerson Gaylord, G. H. Chapman; secretary, George V. Wheelock; treasurer,
Henry B. Harris; trustees, Benning Leavitt, J. A. Dennison, George S. Taylor, N.
Cutler, John B. Wood, C. M Kendall, E. Stebbins, Lewis M. Ferry, John Dixon, George
V. Wheelock,. A.S. Hunter, A. F. Gaylord. The present location is in Kendall's
new block, opposite the Town Hall, to which it removed in December last, having
previously been kept in the same building with the First National Bank. It has at
present 1,250 depositors with an aggregate of $4:43,266 deposits.
BOOKS, NEWS AND STATIONERY.
E. M. Alden, Merchants' row, is proprietor of the only bookstore in Chicopee,
combined with which is an extensive circulating library, and large stationery and
newspaper department. Mr. Alden has been engaged in his present business, which
he has built up with much energy, since 1870. He is, and has been for many years,
the local agent of the American Express Company.
J. Stackpole, an old and esteemed resident of the town, opened about a year ago a·
news and variety store on Center street. .Mr. Stackpole makes the sale and repairing
of clocks something of a specialty. He l1as lately taken a partner, the firm at present
being J. Stackpole & Co.
BARBER SHOPS.
Three barbers do the legitimate shaving for Chicopee people, Charles H. Blackmer,
who has prominent and attractive quarters in Temple’s block, R. A. Page and
T Cronin?
BOOTS AND SHOES.
Prominent in his line is Mr. W. L. Blackmer, who came to Chicopee in 1861, and
after four years' service in the employ of the Gaylord Manufacturing Company opened
a fancy goods store on the site of the Masonic Hall block. This he sold· in 1869,
and entered upon his present business on Exchange street. Mr. Blackmer does a large
custom business in men's fine work.
445
Farther down Exchange street J. O'Donnell is doing a considerable business in
boots and shoes.
Other prominent dealers are Chapman & Folsom, S. W. Parshley and W. P.
Beals.
COAL.
Carlos Allen, the popular coal dealer, has his office in Temple's block and does a
large business. A. B. Abbey, R. W. Bemis and Jolt Dixon are also engaged in it.
CONCRETE PAVING.
Messrs. Mead & Richards are engaged in the business of putting down the
popular concrete paving, and will respond promptly to orders from any part of
the country.
CUSTOM AND READY-MADE CLOTHING.
In the line of custom clothing, Chicopee bas something to be proud or in the
establishment of J. P. Buckingham, who has been engaged in the business there
over 20 years, sometimes, as at present, alone, though more frequently with a
partner. He formerly kept a line of ready-made clothing, but now limits
himself to custom work and furnishings. Mr. Buckingham usually employs
from twelve to fifteen hands.
J. M. Lane and B. Moffit are engaged in the same business. Hitchcock
& Hosley is the only American house engaged in the ready-made clothing
business. The senior partner, Harvey Hitchcock, started the business about
twelve
years ago at the stand now occupied by the firm, and in May, 1866, were joined
by Mr. James E. Hosley. They deal to some extent in boots and shoes, and
are located in Bullens' block on Exchange street.
DRUG STORES.
Chicopee's three drug stores are all of long standing, but the honor of
seniority among the present dealers belongs to W. W. Johnson, who has been
engaged _in the business in Cabot Hall block, on Market square since August, 1861.
Mr. Johnson has been a resident of the town for 40 years, and was postmaster during
the administrations of Presidents Pierce and Buchanan.
Warren Smith has occupied his present stand on Exchange street for the
past ten. years. He has been a resident of Chicopee most of the time since 1853.
Hooker & Co. are later comers, occupying the Exchange street store where Dr.
RouÂ
Roudiez was previously
located.
DRY GOODS.
The house of Warren S. Bragg & Co., the Company consisting of Jerome Wells
and F. B. Doten, cashier of the First National Bank, is confessedly the leading
one in the dry goods trade in Chicopee. Located on the corner of Exchange
street and Market square, on the site where it was first established by Mr. Wells
nearly forty years ago, it occupies three large and commodious stores in Cabot
Hall block, one being devoted to dry goods, the second to the carpet trade, and
the third to the hardware business. From a yearly business of $40,000 in 1865,
the firm showed one of $110,000 in 1873, and now count safely upon one of
$100,000 or more yearly.
A. J. Jenks was formerly with Bragg & Co., but went into business for himself
on the opposite side of Exchange street, about three years ago. Later he bought
out Hale
& Oakes and removed to the stand in Bullens' block on the same street, formerly
occupied by them, where he is now carrying on a large and prosperous business.
John B. Wood, whose dry goods establishment is located on the corner of
Exchange and Center streets, is one of the old business men of Chicopee, He
came here in 1850 from Holyoke, having served his apprenticeship in a country
variety store in Ireland Parish, and was for thirteen years engaged in the grocery
business, after which he entered upon his present line of trade. In both he has
been very prosperous. For the past ten years Mr. Wood has filled the office of
tax collector.
C. H..Merrick on Exchange street, is the only other dealer of note.

446 CHICOPEE DIRECTORY.
FUR ITURE.
The furniture business in Chicopee is limited to the spacious warerooms of Lafayette Temple in
Temple's block on Center Street. YEars ago the business was carried on by Josiah
Whitney, and afterwards passed into the hands of Hosley & Co., Mr. Temple
being the junior. member of the firm for nine years, and for the past four months
sole proprietor. He carries a stock valued at from $12,000 to $13,000, and does
large undertakers’ and picture frame business. The establishment has always
done a safe and fairly remunerative trade.
GROCERIES.
The Bullens family was the pioneers in the grocery business of Chicopee, and is identified
more than any others with its mercantile history. As far back as 1838, the
business was established by the four brothers, E. A. I, I. M., on the site now
occupied by Isaac Bullens & Sons, on the corner Of Exchange and Cabot streets.
Their business was immense for those times, amounting to $100,000 a year, and
they were reckoned the largest retail grocers in the State outside of Boston.
Later the brothers separated, each taking a separate line of the business. The
junior members of the present firm of I. Bullens & Sons, are I. Newton Bullens, who
has been associated with his father for some twenty-three years, nod Lewis C.,
who was a1lmittell to partnership about four years ago.· All the American grocers
in Chicopee were trained in this store. Dullens & Sons do a large business, and
carry a considerable line of crockery.
C. A. Bullens, representing- another branch of the family, also conducts a large
grocery business nearby, and is proprietor of Exchange Hall, which has a seating capacity
of about 400.
Carter & Spaulding at present do the largest grocery business in Chicopee, their
location on Market square being one of the best in the town, and their business
having increased every year since they first opened. The present firm dates
back ten years
Mr. Carter having been in the business alone for three years preceding.
Other prominent dealers in this branch are P. Rourke, corner of West and Emerald
streets, and Lankton & Pond, on Exchange street.
HOTELS.
The Cabot House, kept for the past eleven years by W. H. Dickinson, is
located on Front street opposite the Town Hall, and close by the Center depot.
1t is well kept, and has a good feeding stable connected with it.
The Chicopee House, kept by Merrick Abbe, is near the Junction depot.
JEWELRY.
C. F. Kent, near the head of Exchange street, carries a well selected $10,000.00
stock of watches and Jewelry. Previous to entering on his present business, Mr.
Kent kept a drug store for fifteen or twenty years.
E. A. Gallupe occupies a portion of E. M. Alden's store on Market Square, and
carries on a watch repairing and general jewelry business.
LIVERY STABLES.
W. E. Wheeler has carried on a large livery business at his Exchange street
stand for the past ten years, and for a year past has combined with it a
considerable trade in harness and trunks. He also supplies brass foundries
largely with sand for cores, his tra1le in this line reaching from Montreal to
Philadelphia.
,V, II. Dickinson's stable, near Mr. Wheeler's, is also an old and prosperous
stand as are those of R Corey in the same vicinity, and Merrick Abbe who is
located at the Chicopee House near the Junction depot.
MEAT AND FISH.
The oldest meat market is that of J. A. Denison & Co. on Cabot street, where it has
been established for thirty years or more. Mr. Denison himself
withdrew from the business in 1873, leaving the firm name to the present proprietors John D. White,
W.P. Ferry and A. E. Jones.
J. U. McClench is also one of the veteran marketmen of the town, having been
for many years on Center street, and lately in his new block on Exchange street
W. S. Wood has lately started the business on Center street, where he is
building up
a prosperous trade.
Stoddard & Stedman have been in the same line for five or six years.
The fish and oyster business is carried on by Quimby & Beckwith who, not long
since, bought out George Barrett's old stand on Exchange street, and by N.
Cleveland who opened last September on Center street, near the head of Exchange.
MILLINERY.
Misses A. & A. McQuade have not been long in the millinery business, but are
building up a large and prosperous trade at their establishment in Dixon's
block on the corner of Exchange and Dwight streets.
Other millinery houses are those of Mrs. A. B. Bagg, Miss A. J. Fuller, John
Colby,
Mrs. I. F. Connor and J. & M. Follis.
PAINTERS.
W D. Manchester & Co., Center street, do all kinds of painting and decorative
paper hanging. Mr. Manchester has been engaged in the business for eight
years, most of the time without a partner, and has prospered.
Frank 0. Dayton has opened a shop this Spring on Exchange street. He was, for
about two years with Mr. Manchester and pursues the same general line of
business.
PHOTOGRAPHER.
The only established picture gallery in Chicopee, is that of W. S. Butler, on the
corner of Exchange and Cabot streets, an old and prosperous stand.
PLASTERER.
Few men of any station in life, are more highly esteemed than the veteran,
Michael McDermot, who resides on Spruce street, and is responsible for a great
many firs t class jobs performed during the past ten or fifteen years.
PRINTING.
G. V. Wheelock, the only job printer in Chicopee, is located in Cabot Hall block,
does good work, and keeps two men steadily employed.
RESTAURANT.
The need of an up-town restaurant has been met by Mr. C. N. Manchester, who
has just opened on Center street, nearly opposite Temple Block, the most finely
fitted up dining-rooms the town has yet known.
STOVES AD TINWARE.
H. Cogswell has been for the past six years located at the old stand, on
Exchange street, where William G. Bliss, for a quarter of a century previous, carried
on the stove and tinware business. .Mr. Cogswell came originally from Keene,
N. H., and before going to Chicopee, had charge of the work department of D.
B. Montague's Establishment at Springfield. He manufactures tinware
extensively, and does a large business otherwise.
A. M. Moore, successor to Southworth & Moore, is located, in a handsome
brick block, on the north side of Exchange street, and divides the stove trade with
Mr. Cogswell. This establishment, like that of the latter, dates back a number of
years, though it has passed through several changes, Mr. Simon G. Southworth
retiring from the firm about a year ago.

Chicopee City League Baseball Scrapbook 1
Chicopee; Baseball; Chicopee City League; Sports;
The Chicopee City League Scrapbook One is a collection of newspaper clippings from the local newspapers dedicated mostly to the 1953 Chicopee City Baseball League season and the 1953 Tri-County League baseball season. The city league existed in Chicopee from the 1930s through the 1950s. The Tri-County League was started in 1949 and still operates today. The book starts with a few articles on the winner of the 1952 baseball season before getting into the 1953 season. There are a few articles on the bowling league and Chicopee High School football at the end of the book. The 1953 season had six teams: The Woodlawns Athletic Club from South Hadley, the Fairview Boys Club, the Chicopee Falls Dodgers, the Chicopee Falls Tigers, the Nativity Athletic Club and the Colonels Athletic Club. The articles are clipped and pasted into the pages of the book, often with more than one article on a page. There are no dates with the articles, but they are arranged in chronological order from the initial planning meetings to the end of the regular season and through the playoffs. The statistics from several games and the rosters of the teams are also clipped and pasted among the articles. The city league was originally an adult league, but teenage players were allowed in the 1952 when too many players joined the armed services. The Tri-County League was a semi-pro adult league with many college age players.

The Chicopee City League Scrapbook Two is a collection of newspaper clippings from the local newspapers dedicated to the 1950 through the 1952 Chicopee City Baseball League seasons. The adult city league existed in Chicopee from the 1930s through the 1950s and drew crowds in the thousands. The 1950 season consisted of five teams: the Fairview Boys Club, the Chicopee Falls Dodgers, the Chicopee Falls Tigers, the Nativity Athletic Club, the Sandy Hill Vets (they dropped out half-way through the season) and the Colonels Athletic Club. The 1951 season was marked by turmoil and only two teams played each other on Sundays, the Tigers and the Dodgers. At the end of the 1951 season four teams, the Tigers, the Dodgers, the Colonels and the Palais D’Or agreed to have a playoff series t determine the champion of Chicopee. Palais D’Or won the series. The 1952 season consisted of four teams, the Chicopee Falls Dodgers, the Chicopee Falls Tigers, the Palais D’Or Athletic Club and the Colonels Athletic Club. The city league was originally an adult league, but teenage players were allowed in the 1952 when too many players joined the armed services and the older players wanted to play in the “semi-pro” Tri-County League. The articles are clipped and pasted into the pages of the book, often with more than one article on a page. There are some dates with the articles at the beginning of the book. The articles are arranged in chronological order from the initial planning meetings to the end of the regular season and through the playoffs of each season. The statistics from several games and the rosters of the teams are also clipped and pasted among the articles.

Chapter 23 - FISK TIRES
AND THE SLEEPY BOY - Part Two
Fisk Tire Company
Fisk's advertising legacy includes some of the most interesting campaigns carried out by manufacturers in the sector, bringing together the most prominent artists of the so-called Golden Age of American illustration such as Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rockwell. Many of these artists reinterpreted and gave life to the adorable spokesman of the company, the sleepy Fisk boy in his pajamas, ready to re-tire to rest accompanied by a candle and holding a tire as a teddy bear. This article is an in-depth investigation into the corporate and advertising history of the Fisk Tire Company. It is chapter 23 from the dissertation by Pau Medrano-Bigas presented in 2015 and translated into English in 2018. It includes detailed descriptions of the numerous images that illustrate the text. There are over 500 images, most of which are shown for the first time, that had never been reproduced since they were created and published in the press of that time. This is the second of three parts on the Fisk Tire Company provided by Pau Medrano-Bigas with permission to reproduce and enhance the Chicopee Archives Fisk Tire Company Magazine Ad Collection. This part includes illustrations and advertisement art from the history of the Fisk Tire Company from 1917 through the 1930s.

Holyoke Street Railway Company; Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts; Urban Renewal; Community development corporations;
Trollies, run by the Holyoke Street Railway Company, were used extensively in Chicopee until the late 1930s. Shown here is one that has crossed over the Chicopee River on the Falls bridge. The bridge was wiped out in the 1938 hurricane and subsequent flood. Trolley service changed to mostly bus based transportation in Chicopee after the flood.

Paul Czjaka, young boy in white suit.
Paul Czjaka; Bob's Bakery;
Black and white portrait of Paul Czjaka when he was a young boy, possibly age 5-6, dressed in a white suit with shorts and a bow tie. Zygmunt, Paul's father, worked as a Baker in Poland during the German occupation in 1939-1945. He later brought his family and baking skills to Chicopee and opened Bob's Bakery on Exchange Street in 1965. The bakery was started by Paul's father, Zygmunt Czajka, in 1965 and remained in business for 56 years. Bob's Bakery was well known for its Polish baked goods, including the Paczi. The family also owned the building at 218 Exchange Street, where the bakery was located. Paul took over the bakery in the 1980s and ran the business with his wife, Dorothy, until it closed in October 2021.
Dorothy Czajka shared some of the family history materials with the Chicopee Public Library. The family has given Chicopee Archives Online permission to digitize and display the items online. The family has kept the physical items.

Chapter 23 - FISK TIRES
AND THE SLEEPY BOY - Part One
The Fisk Tire Company
Fisk's advertising legacy includes some of the most interesting campaigns carried out by manufacturers in the sector, bringing together the most prominent artists of the so-called Golden Age of American illustration such as Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rockwell. Many of these artists reinterpreted and gave life to the adorable spokesman of the company, the sleepy Fisk boy in his pajamas, ready to re-tire to rest accompanied by a candle and holding a tire as a teddy bear. This article is an in-depth investigation into the corporate and advertising history of the Fisk Tire Company. It is chapter 23 from the dissertation by Pau Medrano-Bigas presented in 2015 and translated into English in 2018. It includes detailed descriptions of the numerous images that illustrate the text. There are over 500 images, most of which are shown for the first time, that had never been reproduced since they were created and published in the press of that time. <br />This is the first of three parts on the Fisk Tire Company provided by Pau Medrano-Bigas with permission to reproduce and enhance the Chicopee Archives Fisk Tire Company Magazine Ad Collection. This part includes a full description of the history of the Fisk Tire Company illustrated by ads and images from 1900 - 1916. <a href="http://diposit.ub.edu/dspace/handle/2445/126382" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> to view the entire dissertation by Pau Medrano-Bigas.

Cutting tire cord on a table
Tire industry--Massachusetts--Chicopee
A worker is cutting a length of cord at an angle or on the bias. Tire cord had to be cut at a 45 degree angle because the fabric threads were woven at this angle. This angle weave of the cord proved to be more durable than a square weave.

Operating a tire-building machine

Safety bulletin describing a recent accident at the Chicopee plant of the Fisk Tire Company
Tire industry--Massachusetts--Chicopee
Inside the safety bulletin case, management of the plant has placed a poster which shows and describes how a worker injured his finger while placing his hand on a tire hanging from the overhead track; the worker next to him pushed a tire which smashed one of his fingers. The poster in the case is written both in English and Polish. By 1920, persons born in Poland made up about 9% of the population of Chicopee and many were employed by the Fisk Tire Company.

Removing the harness attached to the upper half of the mold
Tire industry--Massachusetts--Chicopee
Two workers standing on opposite sides of the conveyer remove the harness which was used to lower the upper mold onto a tire encased by a bottom mold. Removal of the harness was the final procedure before a tire was placed for curing into the vulcanizer where it came out in the desired shape.

Filling the vulcanizer with the molds
Tire industry--Massachusetts--Chicopee
A worker presses his hand on a stack of molds while he waits for the cover to be lowered onto the vulcanizer. When the cover is secure, heat and steam will be piped into the vulcanizer, causing the rubber to harden and expand against the molds. This expansion in the molds gave the tire its desired shape including the numbers and lettering on the tire.

Tire with a partially fitted inner tube
Tire industry--Massachusetts--Chicopee
A tire with a visible inner tube leans against a stack of nearby tires. The invention of the pneumatic tire, i.e., a vulcanized tire with an inflatable inner tube gave passengers in automobiles a smooth, comfortable ride. By the 1920s, the Fisk Tire Company had perfected the art of designing a strong, durable and flexible inner tube.

Lee, commanding the brigade, wrote_”I should deprive myself of a pleasure of I omitted to call your notice to the fact, that the adjutant of our regiment, James G. Smith, commencing the expedition suffering from a painful accidental shot wound on the leg, still insisted upon accompanying the regiment, and though having double duty to perform, in the absence of one of the field officers, still manfully endured all the toils of the march and the field, and rendered one invaluable service in the management and control of the regiment.”

Forty-Sixth Regiment of Infantry-Mass. Vols. Chronology
This regiment was raised in obedience to a call for 300,000 additional troops for service during a period of none months. The original order of President Lincoln, dated August 4th 1862, required that this force should be raised by a draft; but by the patriotism and liberality of the people, the quota of the State of Massachusetts was filled without resorting to that expedient.
The town of Chicopee took early measures to obtain this required number of volunteers, and in public town meeting voted to pay a bounty of $100 to each man who should enlist to fill up the quota. Enlistments were promptly and rapidly made, and in a short time the town furnished one hundred and nineteen men for nine months service.
One hundred and five of these were enrolled in the 46th Regiment of Infantry’ their names are appended, together with the letters of their respective companies:_

Thursday afternoon and evening, October 23rd, Company D. received an ovation at the hands of the citizens of Chicopee. In the afternoon a beautiful silk standard was presented to them by the liberality of William Ball, Esq; in the evening a bountiful collation was provided for the soldiers, and every effort was made to render the occasion pleasant for recollection.

Subsequently, on the 20th of March, 1863, Corporals Phipps Stetson, and Kilby were reduced to the ranks; and on the 21st their places were filled by the appointment of Albert M. Moore,_James A. Kenyon, and_Bartholomew Hayes.
November 5th, 1862, the regiment broke camp at Springfield, and proceeded to Boston. Arriving there, they marched through the city, and embarked on the steamer Mississippi. At midnight moved out about 31/2 miles and anchored in President Roads. Waited there for U.S. armed convoy, as there wer fears of the pirate Alabama, then reported near Boston. On Friday, the 7th, the U.S. gunboat Huron anchored alongside. But a furious storm set in, and it was found necessary, on Sunday, the 9th, to return to the city and land the men. The regiment took up quarters in {Fanswil} Hall, and remained there till Monday afternoon. Then marched to the wharf, and went on board the steamer Saxon. The regiment was under orders to proceed to Newbern, N.C._Sailed on the 10th, had a prosperous voyage, and on the 14th made an anchorage at Morehead City, N.C. (Beaufort Harbor). The next day they landed, proceeded to Newbern, and encamped. December 1st, Companies A and K. Were ordered to Newport Barracks, where they remained two months.
The remaining eight companies, on the 11th of December, 1862, joined other forces in the expedition towards Godlsboro, N.C._On the 12th, continued the march._Next day, after an hour’s march, the regiment was detached from the brigade and ordered to support a battery placed to command the approach in front from Kinston. At sundown, moved forward four miles. Company D. was detached to march some fifty yards in advance, and ten men, under Lieut. Knapp, were thrown forward as an advance guard against surprise. The men lay upon their arms all night. On the following day, moved forward to Kinston and encamped._At {Write} Hall, on the 16th, the regiment supported a battery. About fifty men were here detached as sharpshooters, Company D. furnishing a good proportion._On the return march to Newbern, the enemy threatened the rear._The 46th was exposed to an annoying fire, but had no opportunity to engage any part of the enemy’s force._The regiment reached Newbern, no Chicopee man missing, on the 21st, and went to its old camp, where it remained till January 23, 1863, when the camp was changed to a position near the intersection of the Trent and Neuse roads, in Newbern. At this time, Company A. was relieved from outpost duty at Newport Barracks by Company F. and rejoined the regiment. From this time until March 13, the regiment was chiefly occupied in drill, and fatigue duty on the fortifications.
About the 1st of March Company D became the color company and remained on through the rest of the service.
Upon the 13th of March the enemy commenced what seemed a determined attempt to repossess Newbern, in resistance to which the 46th was assigned an honorable position, being ordered first at Sundown, with two other regiments and a battery, to hold in check a column of the enemy demonstrating upon the Front Road, about eight miles from Newbern. While upon this duty, heavy cannonading in the direction of Newbern announced that the enemy had commenced operations in other quarters, and orders came from General Foster, recalling the main portion of the forces to the city, the enemy having attacked an outpost on the northerly side of the Neuse. Marched back as speedily as possible, reaching camp about noon the 14th of March, and remained under arms till 5 P.M. when they were again sent out upon the same road to reinforce a part of a brigade which had been sent out to occupy the former position of the 46th, but the enemy had retreated.
March 23rd Company D and one other company were sent to Plymouth, N.C._The rest of te regiment, except Companies A. and G which were left at Newbern, proceeded to Plymouth on the 26th, in connection with other forces. The whole land force was immediately applied to the work of perfecting the fortifications of the post. Remained here in garrison duty till they were relieved May 7th. Arrived at Newbern May 8th, and went into barracks on the Neuse River, near the first camping ground. Were assigned to the construction fo earth works, and other means of defence.
Wednesday night, May 20th, the regiment received marching orders, and at twelve o’clock the line was formed. The whole force, one brigade o finfantry, with cavalry and artillery, was under command of Co. J.R. Jones of the 58th Penn. Vols_the object of the expedition was to dislodge a force of rebels, intrenched at Gum Swamp, eight miles from Kinston, N.C._The march was commenced early on the morning of the 21st and after reaching Cove Creek, 16 miles from Newbern, the force bivouacked. Here the 27th Mass and 58th Penn. Regiments struck off through the swamp to gain the enemy’s rear, starting about 9 P.M., while at rest, including the 46th, were to move up in front. At daylight of the 22nd the force in front began skirmishing with the rebels, who could be plainly seen behind their earthworks. About 9 A.M. (some three hours later than was expected) firing was heard in the rear of the enemy’s intrenchment. An advance was immediately made, when it was found that the 27th Mass. And 58th Penn. were already in possession, the majority of the rebels having escaped to the swamps. One hundred and seventy prisoners were taken._After resting till 5. P.M. a return was commenced. The rebels, having come up from Kinston, pressed on the rear, and attempted to cut off the whole brigade. But by turning off from the road and making a four hours march through a swamp, knee deep in mud and water, danger was avoided. The regiment arrived in Newbern about 3 P.M. on the 23rd, no Chicopee man missing.
June 23rd, at midnight, orders were received for the regiment to embark at four hours’ notice, with necessary equipage only for Fortress Monroe. The destination of the regiment was to join the forces of General Dix, engaged in a demonstration on Richmond. Embarked on the night of the 24th of June, leaving behind the sick and convalescents, and their camp and garrison equipage. When near the mouth of the river, the steamer became disabled and a delay of several hours occurred. Meantime Col. {Shurtteff} decided to put back to Newbern for a supply of provisions, and accordingly the boat turned its course up stream. But when within about five miles of the city, they were overtaken by a steamer with Gen. Foster on board. The General imperatively ordered the men to be transferred at once to the steamer Mystic, and to follow him to Hatters Inlet. This was done, and, after a stormy passage, they reached Fortress Monroe, June 28th._Reported to Gen. Foster and began to prepare for the campaign under Gen. Dix.; but their time had so nearly expired that they were refused by Gen. Dix, and ordered to assist in defending Baltimore, where they arrived July 1st.
They wree assigned to the exterior defences of the city and station at “Camp Bradford”. Here the regiment was employed in patrol and guard duty, escorting and guarding of prisoners, until July 6th, when they went to Frederick, and thence on to Maryland Height, opposite Harper’s Ferry. Reach the Heights on the night of the 7th_Here, they remained, occupied partly on picket duty on the Sharpsburg road, till July 11th; when they were ordered to join the Army of the Potomac. Starting at nine o’clock at night, and marching night and day, it reached and was joined to the 1st Corps near Frankstown, Md. Went on the 14th to Williamsport, and to Pleasant Valley, where they encamped two days. While about obeying an order to cross the Potomac they were surprised with one countermanding it, and returning them home.
Proceeding by the shortest route via Baltimore and New York, it reached Springfield on the morning of July 21st. An immense crowd greeted their arrival at the depot, with a hearty welcome. The regiment was escorted to the City Hall, where after an address by Mayor Alexander and a response from Col. {Shurteff}, they shared a bountiful collation. A week’s furlough was granted; and on the 29th of July, 1863, they were mustered out of the U.S. service by Capt. Gardner, U.S.A., at Hampden Park, Springfield.
The sick and convalescents left at Newbern had returned about a week before the arrival of the regiment; while about seventy five, who had been left at Baltimore for the same reason, arrived home, by steamer to Boston, on the 22nd and were mustered out with the rest.
During May and June 1863, about one hundred were discharged to re-enlist for three years it the 2nd Mass. Heavy Artillery, ten of these being from Chicopee.
The 46th regiment was always a favorite with the brigade commanders under whom it passed, and although it did not participate in any great battles, it came home with an untarnished record for promptness and fidelity to duty in every position to which it was ordered.

March 7, 1862 he was promoted to be 2nd Lieutenant; and Jan. 16, 1863 was commissioned 1st Lieutenant, which office he held at the time of his death.
Though but a Lieutenant, he had command of one company nearly all the time, and not unfrequently of two. In the affair at Pocotoligo, S.C._May 1862, he was assigned to command a body of skirmishers, and handled his men with great skill. For his bravery he received the congratulations of his brother officers, and was promoted to the second Lieutenantcy, his commission being dated back to March 7th._
In the latter part of July following, he was ordered north to recruit. He opened an office in Springfield, Mass. and was very successful in enlisting. In October he was ordered to report in Washington D.C. where he engaged for a time in drilling recruits._Subsequently he had command of a company which acted as body-guard to Gen. F.J. Porter, and afterwards to Ge. Hooker._After the Battle of Fredericksburgh till April 1863, he was employed in picket duty.
In the memorable raid of Gen. Stoneman, the 1st Mass. Cavalry was assigned to Gen. Averills’ division. As our forces approached the Rapidan River, Lieut. Phillips was put in command of two companies to clear the banks of the river of the enemy’s sharpshooters, and also to burn a railroad bridge near Barnett’s Ford.

After a few minutes delay, he stepped to the door fronting the river to examine the position and to lay his plans. As he turned partly round to speak to one of his men, he fell pierced in the neck by a ball from one of the sharpshooters. The best surgical treatment was rendered, but it was in vain, as the ball had penetrated the spine. He died on the 4th; his last words to his servant were, “I die a true soldier.” His body was buried near the spot where he fell. It was subsequently recovered by his friends and buried in Maple Gove Cemetery, Chicopee, October 10, 1863.
Maj. H.L. Higginson of the regiment wrote to his parents: “He had won the respect and esteem of all his brother officers, high and low, and has done his duty well, as I myself have occasion for twelve months to know, and as is shown by his being twice promoted in a regiment where work and ability, and not simply seniority of rank, are demanded before promotion is given. He is a real loss to us all as an officer, and will make a gap not easily filled.”
Col. H.B. Sargent, of the same regiment expressed his testimony “to his courage and conduct as a soldier and to those high qualities which inspire respect of men for their leader, and officers for their companion in danger and glory.”_

Thirty-Seventh Regiment of Infantry-Mass. Vols. Chronology
ON the 1st. of July, 1862, President Lincoln called for 300.000 more volunteers for the war; and accordingly Governor Andrew made a requisition on the several towns of Massachusetts for their proportionate number. To the town of Chicopee the quota assigned was Eighty One.
By private liberality a bounty of $100. Was offered to each man who would enlist for three years to meet this call. The town authorities and the citizens in general helped on the good work and volunteers readily responded. A request was made to Governor Andrew for permission to form a full company, to be offered by election from the members, and permission was granted.
Thursday afternoon, July 24th 1862, in response to the call of the Selectmen, the volunteers met at Music Hall for the choice of officers. The following was the result of the ballot: Captain,_Jarvis P. Kelly,_1st. Lieutenant,_Eli L. Blackmer,_2nd. Lieutenant,_Carlos C. Wellman.
On Saturday, the 26th of July, the company left Chicopee for Worcester, Mass. A large number of citizens attended them to the railroad station, and the pacific Engine Company formed their escort ot Worcester. There they remained at “Camp John E. Wool”, about one week and were then transferred to “Camp Briggs”, at Pittsfield, Mass., the rendezvous of the 37th Regiment, in which they became Company A._ Through some disaffection about thirty of the men left the camp on the 6th of August, and returned to Chicopee; they were, at their request, accepted as recruits for the 1st Mass. Regiment of Cavalry, and their places in Company A. were filled by subsequent enlistment.

The regiment left the state, September 7, 1862, proceeded via Huson, New York, and Baltimore to Washington, where it was assigned to General Briggs brigade, and went into camp one mile south east of Long Bridge, Va., at “Camp Chase”, where it remained about two weeks. It was ordered to Frederick by rail, and thence marched to Bakerville. There the regiment was assigned to Gen. Devens brigade. It remained at Downville, near Bakerville, two weeks, when the division moved to Hancock, Md., thence to Cherry Run, Williamsport, Downville, and Berlin. November 3rd crossed the Potomac; afterwards marched to Union, thence to White Plains, and New Britain. November 13th left New Baltimore, and after a two days march reached Stafford Court House. Thence on Dec. 2, moved forward to White Oak Church, and there remained till the 11th._Then marched to the Rappahannock, at Franklin’s Crossing, below Fredericksburg, at which point, later in the day, they crossed to the south bank of the river,_the 37th being the advance regiment upon the lower of two bridges there. Alone, the brigade covered the bridges all the next day, standing to arms through the entire night. On the afternoon of the 13th, the day of the Battle of Fredericksburg, they took position on the extreme left, and were under a very severe shell fire, with, however, but little loss. On the 14th, were in the reserve; on the 15th again took position in front, and during the night covered the retreat of the army to the north bank of the river, the brigade being the last to recross, as it had been the first to cross. The behavior of the officers and men of the 37th; in this, the first time they were ever under fire, elicited high commendation.
Remained in camp near Falmouth, Va. Through the winter, without participating in any important movement.
The portion of the army in which the 37th was brigaded moved down to the north bank of the Rappahannock, April 28th._A part of the troops crossed and engaged the rebels during the next three days. May 2nd, the rest, including the 37th, crossed, and entered Fredericksburg by the rear about 3o’clock in the morning of the 3rd. The rebels were surprised, and fled to their fortifications on the hills, where they opened their artillery. In the {forenoon} a gallant and successful assault was made upon this strong position, the 37th being one of the supports of the charging column, and following close upon its heels. Moving immediately forward on the Chancellorsville road, the advance division met the enemy reinforced and strongly posted on Sallem Heights. The attack renewed, athe first line of battle was severely repulsed and thrown back in disorder upon the second line, formed by a brigade in which were the 37th, 10th, and 7th, Mass. Regiments. Not a man flinched or faltered; and the assaulting columns of rebels were hurled back, baffled and defeated._Held the enemy at bay on the extreme left of the front line during that night and the next day, (May 4th)._After dark on the evening of the 4th, fell back to Banks’ Ford, and before daylight of the 5th safely recrossed the river.
Maj. Gen. John Newton, commanding the 3rd division, 6th Corps, wrote to Governor Andrew as follows: “The 10th and 37th, although under fire in Fredericksburg on the morning of the 3rd of May, rendered their principal service in the afternoon and the following day at Salem Heights. Their coolness under fire and admirable discipline merit the warmest acknowledgments.”
May 6th, the regiment returned to the old camp near Falmouth. June 6th, marched to Franklin’s Crossing, and crossed over to the south bank, June 10th. There remained till the 13th, threatening the enemy, then recrossed the river, and took up the line of march, whose northern limit was Gettysburg. The 6th Corps protected the rear, crossing Potomac at Edward’s Ferry, June 27, 1863.
At 4 P.M. July 2nd 1863, reached the battlefield of Gettysburg, after a forced march of thirty four miles, marching from 9 P.M. the preceding evening without a half long enough to make coffee.

Howley._He was the first one to sign the enlistment roll of this company at Hartford, Conn._The regiment rendezvoused at New Haven and was mustered into service April 22nd, 1861. About a week after, left by water route for Washington D.C._In camp there a few weeks, and afterwards stationed at Fairfax Court House._Engaged in the Bull Run battle_Returned with the regiment at the expiration of the term of service.
October 9th, 1861, enlisted for three years in the thirty-First Regiment of Infantry, Mass. Vols._Company E._Appointed Orderly Sergeant of his company at its formation, and rendered to his Captain. E.P. Nettleton, valuable assistance in enlisting men to fill the ranks._In April, 1862, at Ship Island, was relieved from his position as Sergeant at his own request, and took his place in the ranks. While the regiment was in garrison duty at Fort Jackson, he acted as assistant to the Provost Guard. About the 1st of February, 1863, He was detailed for duty in the hospital corps; at the battle of Bisland he rendered distinguished service in this capacity, and his bravery on that day was remarked by officers and men. Captain Nettleton, thinking him too regardless of bullets, On the 25th of May when he came up with his men to take off one of the wounded, cautioned him not to expose himself, as his services were of as much value to him as those of a dozen men. Woods replied that he would take care of himself and he probably did._But on the 14th of June, 1863, during the engagement before Port Hudson, he volunteered to take some cordial to Gen Paine, who had been wounded many hours before and lay exposed on the field. Creeping along on his hands and knees, until he came near he threw the canteen, but not quite within reach. Gen. Paine, however, told him that he would be able to get it in a short time, but Woods was not satisfied and returned to the rear for further aid, saying, “I will go to him this time or die.” He moved up with due caution, but before he reached the spot, he fell dead, pierced with three bullets._No man was better known in the regiment for spirit and bravery than Woods. He was fully inspired with Patriotic self-devotion, and the free offering of his life was accepted in the cause of his country.
The Surgeon of the regiment, E.E. Bidwell, writing to the mother of young Woods, under date of June 16, 1863, said, “He fell, doing his duty_he died a hero. I can testify to his almost unequalled efficiency as one of the hospital corps, of which he was at the time the chief, and to the courage, skill and fidelity which he always exhibited on duty. I had determined to recommend him for promotion, as soon as the battle should cease, for his gallantry and good conduct on the field. But death anticipated my purpose and he has gone up higher.”

They left the state November 2, 1861, and arrived at Annapolis, Md. {unreadable}.
Next day, went into camp about three quarters of a mile from the city of Annapolis, which they named "Camp Springfield".___Here they remained until the 6th. of January, 1862.__In the meantime they applied themselves closely to drill and a knowledge of field movements, and the duties incidental to camp life, in all of which they proved proficient.__They then embarked on transports and proceeded to Fortress Monroe, where they arrived on the 11th. The regiment had been selected to go on the Burnside Expedition to North Carolina.__On the morning of the 12th., they left Hampton Roads under sealed orders, and on the following day arrived at Hatteras Inlet, N.C.
On the morning of February 6th., having remained in the interim on board of the transports, which, owing to the length and severity of a storm encountered on the passage, were prevented from joining each other and the remainder of the fleet, they started for Pamlico Sound, and duly arrived in sight of Roanoke Island. On the evening of the 7th., the gunboats having meanwhile engaged and partly silenced the enemy's batteries on the island, our forces, of which the 27th. formed a part, landed and bivouacked in an open field, in a cold drenching rain. Early the following morning, the regiment, in company with the 23rd. Mass. Vols.__marched to the attack, passing in their course through miry swamps and almost impenetrable thickets, during which they were exposed to a severe fire from the enemy, secured behind entrenchments. They finally succeeded in turning the enemy's left flank, and intercepted a body of the enemy in their attempt to turn our centre column. The regiment occupied advanced positions, and was in the wildest of the fight, until the enemy surrendered.__In this battle, no Chicopee men were killed, wounded, or taken prisoners.
February 11th., the regiment was again ordered upon transports, where they remained for about a month, closely crowded on board three vessels; with impure air, the health of the regiment became visibly affected.
March 11th., the regiment, in company with the rest of our forces, left Roanoke Island, and on the morning of the 13th. landed and marched towards Newbern, N.C.__Early on the morning of the 14th., they encountered the enemy strongly posted in the vicinity of Newbern, and immediately attacked them. A violent rain storm had prevailed all night, and the men were wet to the skin; but they were in the most cheerful spirits, and seemed confident that they were marching to certain victory. The enemy opened upon them in front with artillery and infantry, being protected by a line of entrenchments, extending from the Neuse River, across the main road, to the railroad, a distance of nearly two miles. The fight was kept up till their ammunition being expended, they received orders to fall back, having been relieved by anothe regiment.___In this engagement the following casualties among Chicopee men occurred: Killed,__Sullivan,___Wounded,__Swift, Adams, Steele, Taylor, McGregor, Aitcheson.
The enemy having been repulsed, our forces rapidly commenced the pursuit towards {unreadable} Newbern. Upon arriving in sight of the city about noon, it was discovered to be on fire in several places, also the great bridge which crosses the Trent River. The regiment at once proceeded to cross the river in boats, and encamped on the other side, occupying the camp of the 7th. North Carolina Regiment (rebel troops), about half a mile from the city. This camp they named "Camp Hampshire", where they remained five or six weeks.
May 1st., they were ordered to Batchelder's Creek, about eight miles from Newbern, remained there about a month, and then returned to their old camp at Newbern. Here they staid till the last of July, meanwhile perfecting themselves in drill. On the 25th. of July, the brigade to which this regiment was attached was ordered to make a reconnoissance to Trenton, N.C.__Having arrived at Trenton and dispersed a rebel cavalry force, and ascertained that no earthworks or entrenchments were being built, they returned to Newbern, having been absent three days.
September 9th., Companies C. I. and A were ordered to Washington, N.C. and the five remaining companies (including Co. G.) to Newport Barracks, the other two companies having been previously stationed at Batchelder's Creek, for outpost duty.___October 30th. all the companies, except the two at Batchelder's Creek, were recalled, and ordered to join in an expedition to Williamston and Hamilton. ___November 2nd, they started on the expedition to Hamilton, upon which they were absent 14 days, daily making forced marches and bivouacking at night, from which they returned without loss, having, in the engagement at Rawle's Mills, been held in reserve.
The regiment also took part in the expedition to Goldsboro, N.C.___It left Newbern December 11, 1862, its position being with the baggage train in the rear. They encamped that night on the Trenton road, at eight o'clock.__On the 12th., it marched through swamps, gradually growing worse.__On the 13th. it continued its march, and about noon arrived within a few miles of Kinston, where the advance had met and driven back a body of the enemy, and encamped for the night.__Here two days rations and twenty rounds of ammunition were served out to each man.__On the 14th., moved up the Kinston road, and soon became engaged in battle. The enemy retreated, and the 27th. encamped for the night in Kinston.__On the 15th., marched during the whole day.__On the 16th., they were not fairly out of camp when firing was heard, and they soon found that the advance were engaged with the enemy at White Hall. They were ordered immediately on towards Goldsboro, and encamped at sundown, eight miles below that place.__)n the 17th., the regiment was moved forward in line and behaved bravely through the day.___The regiment, with the other forces, arrived at Newbern in return on the 21st.__
January 4th., 1863, broke camp on the south side of the Grant River, neaar Newbern, and embarked for Washington, N.C. arriving on the 5th. Jan. 27th., Companies G. and H. under command of Major Bartholomew, were ordered to Plymouth, N.C. arriving there on the 28th., Major Bartholomew assuming command of the fort. These two companies remained at Plymouth until the 8th. of May, when they were ordered to Newbern. During this time they performed efficient services in scouting through the various counties bordering on Albemarle Sound.
The duty at Washington was unmarked by any incidents of general interest until the latter part of March. The many rumors and threats of an attack that had been heard for some weeks, finally culminated on the 30th., by the driving in of the advanced pickets of the Union forces. General J.G. Foster, then on a visit at Washington, took command of the garrison, consisting___beside the eight companies of the 27th.___of twelve companies of infantry, one company of cavalry, one battery of artillery, heavy and light. The enemy's force was commanded by Maj. Gen. D.H. Hill, and consisted of seventeen regiments of infantry, three regiments of cavalry, with forty pieces of artillery, bringing up the whole rebel force to about fifteen thousand.
With these heavy odds against the garrison, the siege of Washington commenced. From the great superiority of the enemy's force, and the peculiar position of the town, (some thirty miles up the river) the enemy were enabled to seize on all points of any value and effectually cut off all supplies and reinforcements. Several bluffs, some miles below the town, were seized by the enemy and fortified, fully commanding the river, where not a mile in width. The garrison were forced to lie in the trenches night and day, strengthening the line of earthworks encircling the town, (one mile and three fourths in length,) and throwing up traverses to protect themselves from an enfilading fire.___April 3rd., fire was opened on the fort and town from a hill which fully commanded the fort. The weather for the greater part of the time was cold and rainy, and the supply of rations and ammunitions short. The behavior of the men was excellent___all that could be desired, though worn down by incessant watchfulness and labor, and insufficient food.___April 10th., Companies C. and I. were sent on the gunboat Ceres, which had gallantly run the blockade the night before, to attack a six gun battery on Rodman's Point. When within two hundred yards the boat unfortunately grounded fast with her broadside toward the battery, to which she replied with vigor, the rebels having opened a heavy fire as soon as they discovered her condition. The troops were disembarked under the fire, landed on the opposite shore, and returned to Washington, having had three men wounded.
The rebels evidently designed to starve out the garrison, believing that they had cut them off from all aid; but on the 15th. of April, the Steamer Escort ran the blockade with the 5th. R.I. Infantry, supplies and ammunition. On he 16th. the rebels abandoned the siege and retired to Kinston. The 27th. lost only one killed, and eight wounded, during the entire siege.
April 24th., the regiment was relieved, embarked on steamer for Newbern and was ordered to the Fair grounds, "Camp Potter".
April 27th., left Newbern for Batchelder's Creek, with three days' rations, and one hundred rounds of ammunition per man; reached the creek at 2 P.M.; left at dark, marched until 12 P.M. in a drenching rain, and then bivouacked; moved at 2 P.M.___After marching twelve miles, occasionally driving in pickets, Companies D and E, who were deployed as skirmishes, suddenly emerged from the woods into a cleaaring, within two hundred yards of the enemy's breastworks. Sharp firing followed until the arrival of the main body, when the enemy were driven from theiir works, with a loss of forty killed, wounded and prisoners, the regiment losing but one wounded. The regiment then returned to Cove Creek, having marched twenty four miles from 2 P.M. to 11 P.M., in a road ankle deep with mud and water from the rain of the previous day.___April 29th., went on a scout of seven miles for guerrillas, returning next day to Newbern.
May 7th. went into barracks. On the 8th. Companies G and H rejoined the regiment from Plymouth. On the night of May 20th. the regiment received marching orders, and at 12 o'clock the line was formed. The whole force consisted of a brigade. The object of the expedition was to dislodgea force of rebels, entrenched at Gum Swamp, eight miles from Kinston, where they retired when pursued. Early in the morning of the 21st. the march commenced, and after reaching Cove Creek, a distance of 16 miles, bivouacked. Here the 27th., and 58th. Penn. started off through the swamp, to gain the enemy's rear, starting about 9 P.M., while the 5th., 25th. and 46th. Mass. regiments were to move up in front. After a fatiguing march of 15 miles, taking fourteen hours, through a dense thicket and swamp, through which the pioneers had to cut their way, and where for two miles both regiments marched in single file, they reached the enemy's rear, and opened fire, followed by a charge of companies D, H and I up the railroad track, up which a portion of the 56th. North Carolina were attempting to escape, driving them from the track into the swamp with a loss of six killed and wounded, and about a hundred prisoners, the fruits of the expedition being one hundred and seventy prisoners, one piece of artillery, and five ambulances and ammunition wagons. The enemy rallied, and followed the returning forces to the fortifications, when in a skirmish, Col. Jones, the commander of the expedition, was instantly killed.
June 5th., the regiment became provost guard of Newbern. During the month of July, supported a cavalry force in two raids.
October 1st., were relieved of provost duty. On the 16th., left Morehead City, on the propeller John Rice, for Newport News, Va. arriving on the 18th. Formed a part of Heckman's brigade.___November 18th., left Newport News for Norfolk and Portsmouth, to serve as provost guard, companies A, D and K at Portsmouth, and the rest at Norfolk.

Their distinct charges were made on our lines, each a failure. For an hour, the Right line was held unbroken. The ammunition being nearly exhausted {unreadable} was sent for. A partial lull in the action was succeeded by an unanticipated volley from the rear by a brigade of the enemy, which en masse, speedily closed upon the regiment. A portion of Reg. was faced to the rear, but the combined fire on front and rear at the same time was so destructive as to render resistance fruitless. The Cal. Commdg gave the order "Left {unreadable}". The left three Co's succeeded in escaping in a great measure; nearly all of the remaining seven were captured.

Promoted to Corporal of his company while the regiment was encamped at Brightwood.
He shared the fortunes of the regiment from Springfield to Brightwood, thence to Fortress Monroe, and up the Peninsula.
In the Battle of Fair Oaks, May 31st. 1862, about three o'clock in the afternoon, McGrath was struck in the left breast by a spent ball, which passed through all his clothing but did not penetrate the flesh. He fell to the ground, completely unconscious. Private W.H. Day of the same company raised him up, and succeeded in reviving him so that he drank some water. But he told Day to go on and leave him, as he could not live long. "Tell mother", said he, as he fell back to the ground, "that I died doing my duty". He was, therefore, left on the field by his comrades, as they believed, to die.
He recovered his strength, however, so that he crawled off the field; and late at night, when the company were on the retreat, they were surprised at finding him alive. In spite of the severe contusion which he had received, he rejoined his companions and persisted in performing all his regular duties.
In the Battle of Malvern Hill, July 1st., 1862, late in the afternoon, during some skirmishing, he was shot through the groin. The field hospital, to which he was carried, was taken by the enemy, and he, with others, made prisoner. The rebels transferred him afterwards to Richmond, where he died in the Libby Prison about a week after the battle.

In the morning of that day they were in front of the line of battle, in support of a battery. About half past two P.M. they were ordered into the open field, and, in connection with the 36th N.Y.

We remained there one week untill May 23 when we started for Andersonville geo. We were one week on the road stopping at Danville & Augusta over night. We received rations but three times on the way. They packed seventy of us in a boxcar. May 30 we arrived at Andersonvill & were placed in the stockade where we stayed untill Sept. 13 when were put on the cars, but had not {continued to second page} gone three miles, when the train smashed up, killing & wounding a good many men. We were then taken back to the pen, where we stayed untill Sept. 24 when we were taken to Savannah. There we were kept in a small pen packed full untill Oct. 9 when we were taken to Millen Geo & put into a stockade of forty acres. We were almost the first that went into it, but half of it was soon filled. We stayed there untill Nov 20 when I was paroled, taken to Savannah, & put on the steamer Atlantic & taken to Annapolis after having been a prisoner six months & four days. I was reduced by starvation to mere skin & bones. I had the scurvy in my mouth, my gums roted away so that all my teeth were loose & also in my left leg so that the cords were contracted. The scurvy was the effect of not having {animal} vegetable food. I stayed in St. John college hospital about three weeks when I received a furlough of thirty days & came home. At the expiration of that time I reported to Dale hospital in Worcester Mass. where I stayed untill {about} May 30, 1865 when I was discharged, the war then being over. When I arrived in Annapolis the hospitals were so crowded that I was improperly cared for & as a consequence the chronic diarhea set in which reduced me very low. It was a long time befor I recovered from the effects of my hardships & exposure but I think that I am now as well as I was before going to the war

Westover Air Force Base Post Engineer Scrapbook
Westover Air Force Base
The WAFB Post Engineer scrapbook is a collection of newspaper articles and photographs created by Otto C. Kohler. Kohler was the head of the maintenance staff at Mount Holyoke College in 1940 and also a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Engineers at Westover. He was one of the first officers to work at the base when development began in the summer of 1940, and Kohler worked specifically on the communications system being installed at the base. He returned to his job at Mount Holyoke in September 1940, but was back in uniform and assigned to the engineers at Westover by early 1942. He was promoted to captain and transferred to Boston in 1943 to be the head of the utilities branch and in charge of the Contract Termination Branch for the First Service Command. He was promoted to major in 1944 and received a special citation for his work before returning to his job at MHC in the fall of 1945.
The scrapbook contains materials related to Kohler’s time at Westover and also to his other duties during his service in the Army Corps. of Engineers. There are also newspaper articles and photographs of formal events by official Army photographers. A small number of more personal items and snap shots are also in the book. There is a series of photographs of two planes that had collided at the base showing damage to both planes. The scrapbook was donated to the Chicopee Public Library and Chicopee Archives Online by Kohler’s daughter Carol.

Camp MacArthur Scrapbook
World War I; World War, 1914-1918; Horses; Camp MacCarthur; United States. Army; United States. Army Nurse Corps.;
The Memories from Camp MacArthur, Waco, TX Scrapbook was created by Nurse Linda Cornelia Baker who provided care for the soldiers at the base hospital and the Red Cross Convalescent House. Ms. Baker, a descendant of one of the oldest families in Chicopee, was born on October 11, 1883. She lived her entire life in the Willimansett section of Chicopee, with the exception of her training to become a nurse, and the time she spent at Camp MacArthur. After World War I, Ms. Baker returned to Chicopee where she served her community as a “visiting nurse” specializing in communicable diseases with the Chicopee Board of Health until her retirement in 1953. She died on April 8, 1982 at the age of 98. Photographs in the collection cover the period of time she spent at Camp MacArthur, from March 1918 through the end of World War I.

Mill Workers at Boarding House
Boarding houses were run by matrons who strictly enforced the rules of the house including a 10pm curfew, temperance, and weekly church attendance. Mill girls were charged approximately $1.25 per week to live in overcrowded boarding houses with as many as six girls per room, which permitted virtually no privacy. Female operatives worked twelve hours a day and earned $3-$5.40 dollars per week. Many of these young women sent their wages home to their families, but some simply saved their earnings for their future nuptuals and household neccessities. For recreation, the factory girls attended reading and writing classes offered specifically for them, joined reading circles, knit, and went shopping.

Chicopee Manufacturing Company
Before there were cotton mills and factory girls in Chicopee, the potential for water power created by the unique location of the Chicopee River and the Chicopee Falls attracted wealthy investors from Boston to the agricultural village community of Chicopee. In 1822, the Belcher Iron Works, a small iron manufacturing venture located at the Falls sold a large portion of its land and water rights to The Springfield-Boston Manufacturing Company, the first industrial cotton mill established in Chicopee. The Springfield-Boston Manufacturing Company, soon to be known as the Chicopee Manufacturing Company, incorporated the next year and immediately began building the cotton mill, a dam, a canal, a machine shop, and tenement housing for the hundreds of mill operatives soon to be employed at the mill.
