This link is to a PDF
file of the rare volume
in the University of
Massachusetts
collection. The
Willimansett chapter
begins on Page 69, and
includes references to
many early residents who
have been memorialized
by Willimansett street
names or landmarks,
including Pendleton,
Chapin, Skeele,
Tourtelotte, and Bemis.
The section regarding
the political battle
behind the construction
of the Willimansett
Bridge is especially
interesting,
particularly in
reference to the
arguments today against
expenditures for the
bridge’s necessary
repairs. |
