OLD CHURCH STOVES
A Great Contest Over the Stove
Question in a Connecticut
Town.

The story of the Litchfeld stove anu its
recent discovery is of much historical in
terest. The earliest version | know OF
was given by s. G. Goodrich ("Peter Par
ley'') in his "Recoilections of Lifetime" :"
published in 1856. MIR. Goodrich was born
il Ridgefeid Conn, in 1893, and his recol-
lections of early times run back to :he be-
ginning of the century and even before.
Perhaps your reader. may like to see his
version of the stove story.

and that is the general indifference in
those days TO the intensity of winter. No

but be that as it may, people seemed to
suffer less from it than at the present
time.
Nobody thought of staying at home
from church because OF the extremity
of the weather. Let me tell you
a story, by the way, upon the meeting

wood and slenderly built, of course ad-
mitsing somewhat freely the blasts of the
seasons. In the severe winter days we
only mitigated the temperature by foot
stoves, but these were deemed effeminate
