    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Certificate - Worthington Committee on Public Safety Citation]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This original certificate on what seems to be parchment paper reads: Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety... recognizes the alertness, efficiency, and self sacrifice of the personnel of the Worthington Committee on Public Safety as evidenced by their prompt rescue of the U. S. Army Bomber Disaster on August 15, 1942, and, in appreciation, awards this citation of merit (to): Honor Roll of Peru Incident: Mrs. Guy F. Bartlett, H. Franklin Bartlett, Miss Mary P. Burr, Franklin G. Burr, Mrs. Franklin G. Burr, Franklyn W. Hitchcock, Ebenezer L. Shaw, Raymond Britt, George Gibson. Dated May 14, 1943; signed by Executive Director F. W. Farley.&#039; On the back is a newspaper clipping describing the event which reads: &#039;Just 27 years ago this month, on August 16, 1942, the residents of the little town of Peru were called upon to take heroic action on short notice. That was at 9:30 p.m., when an Army transport plane flew head on into Garnet Peak on Peru Mountain and burst into flame. Fog obscured the peak, and the pilot and 16 others aboard died almost instantly. Three survived. Folks living nearby heard the low flying plane, and the ominous crash that followed. Rescue parties were organized, but it was impossible to fix the location of the plane. Meanwhile on Garnet Peak, Sgt. Robert Lee of Columbus, Ohio, crawled from the blazing wreck, badly burned. Turning back, he dragged out Pvt. James Fern of Abington, Va. and Pvt. Alonzo Pearson of Windber, Pa., the only other survivors. Surrounded by woods land underbrush, Lee fired his service rvolver to bring help, and started down the mountain despite his severe burns. David Cochrane and Arthur Trotter in the village heard the shots, and set out toward the peak. More shots followed. Cochrane answered with a single shot, and in a few minutes came upon Lee, who had struggled three quarters of a mile from the wreck. Other rescuers arrived, and Lee led them back to the plane. Villagers had to hack a two mile trail through the woods, working 15 hours and more without rest or food until all the dead had been brought out. Later, 18 were cited officially for their untiring work, the promptness of which saved the lives of the three survivors. Talked with Mrs. Robert Steele, one of the Civil Defense plane spotters, who manned the phone at her house 36 hours sending reports to Boston on the disaster. Her late husband was one of the rescuers who broke a path through the forest to the plane wreckage. Mrs. Kenneth Kirchner teel us that townspeople still mark the anniversary at the crash site, where a marker has been placed. they take flowers, and a minister speaks in honor of those who lost their lives there in the service of their country.&#039;    This certificate has been kept in its frame and because of its size is in PTG Box B.]]></dcterms:description>

Foreword: &#039;This volume is a continuation of the work in Volume II (see 2007a-001, 2007a-003) and a personal invitation to my readers to journey on with me through the rural sections of Eastern Massachusetts during the 19th century and meet the Old New England Yankees as they worked, played and struggled with their crude, home made implements and iron will to forge this rugged and beloved section of Massachusetts into what it is today.  It was my desire to pass on to others the pleasures I found in searching old records, attic paper piles, family traditions or anything pertaining to our past which has made these volumes and &#039;Steeles Tiny Old New England&#039; possible.

Lucey, Ralph Kerley, and Carl S. Joslyn. Police Officers: Ernest Nugent, Henry H. Snyder, Chief, John J. Green and Forrest Frew. Selectmen C. Kenneth Osgood, Henry H. Snyder, and Albert Nugent, Jr. Assessors: Grant Knapp, Elmer O. Olds, and Robert Mason. Tax Collector, Mrs. Arthur Rolland; Town treasurer, Mrs. Philip Arcouette; Town Clerk, Mrs. Winston Donovan, Cemetery Commissioner, Emerson J. Davis; Fire Chief, Ashley Cole; and Moderator, Rallph A. Moran (who in 2007 is 95); road Supt. Ernest W. Robinson; board of Health: Mrs. Harold E. Brown (Lois Ashe Brown), Mrs. Ashley Cole, John J. Green. Finance Board: Craig Mason, Mrs. Alice Fairman Whittaker, E. J. Sadler, and Fred S. Emerson. Chairman Philip Bunce absent.   &#039;First settlers came prior to 1762 and the town was incorporated in 1768. Celebration of the Bicentennial will be marked with week-long festivities beginning on the evening of June 29 with a Bicentennial ball and concluding on July 6 with a grand parade.  Worthington&#039;s most famous son, Reverend Russell H. Conwell, author of &#039;Acres of Diamonds,&#039; founder of Temple University and Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, was born here. General Lafayette spent a night here enroute from Albany to  Boston in 1825.   Worthington was a busy center of industry and agriculture in its early days, reaching a population peak in 1810 with 1,391. The first post office in this area was established here in 1796. Small villages within the township mark early sites of industry: West Worthington, Christian Hollow, Stevensville, Worthington Corners, Worthington Center, Ringville, Pease District and South Worthington. The biggest enterprise in town today is the potato operation of A. E. Albert Farms.  Situated in the southwestern corner of Hampshire County, Worthington&#039;s cool climate, panoramic views, clear streams, and wooded hills attract a large summer colony. Social life in the summer has long centered around the Worthington Gold Club.  Winter holds its own attractions beginning with deer season early in December when many hunters from afar are in town. Winter sports and visitors to the sugar camps in turn bring traffice to town as do the antique shops and an auction barn.  the town&#039;s 33.5 square miles are crisscrossed by 70 miles of road and numerous small streams. Present population is 643 and the total valuation is listed at $4,116,763 with a tax rate of $27.&#039;]]></dcterms:description>
