Leaving the Morgan bridge and going
almost directly west aud straight on up
the hill we come first to what was called
Scion DRniorth's well-known Ayers farm
owned by him for nearly 30 years. IL Is
now owned and is the home OF Chester
Cady and never In its history was this
place under so good cultivation and so
productive as with Chefs management.
MIR. Cady is a breeder OF thoroughbred
Cotswold sheep and in this industry hss
no successful competitor. he also raises
the largest variety OF apples, pears, plums
and other small fruits OF any farmer
in Barnard. Surely the old Ayers place
was never In so good form as today ana
we might safely say that it is almost the
only one up this long stretch OF road that
shows much Improvement. IL was on TINS
place that Moses Ayers OF Brookneld,
Mass, settled in 1905. OF large family
/ none OF his descendants are left in Barn
ard.
Going on we come to the farm owned
/ by B. p. Hathorn. This was the original
home OF Capt. Appolios Warner, who came
+ here from New Braintree, Mass, more
than so years ago and bought this land OF
/ Ichabod Nye, married his sister, raised
quite a family and became one OF the
prominent men OF Barnard. he was the
father Of the late George w Warner, road =
master on the Z. v. x. r. for many years.
George died in Randolph. Capt. Warner
was also the father OF Mrs. 9. w. Howe OF
Norwalk, o. This lady spent part OF a
summer in town two years ago visiting
the scenes OF her early childhood. She Is
still living in the home OF her adoption.
Driving on we come to where lchabod
Nye OF New Brsintree, Mass, settled near
tv 100 wears ago, and until within few
wears It has been in the hands of the Nye
family. II is now owned by Chester and
Fred Cady and Is large and very pro-
ductive farm, capable of keeping large
stock; has one OF the best sugar orchards
In town, barns In fairly good shape, dou-
BILE house uuoceupied. This place can be
bought reasonably and is bargain to q
good working man. On this place is To-
Gated the west side cemetery, where many
OF the first settlers and their families ART
buried.
The next place we see is a deserted
schoolhouse, No. s. Here is a monument
that indicates the great march OF i'm
provement in the town system of school:
empty houses surrounded with thistle.
and weeds; where once was laughing
singing, jolly set OF bright school chill
dren Is now the scream of one solitary
blue iay. Hitting our horse crack We g
by at a 2:s0 clip and bring up in front o.
N. r. Chamberlin's building on a gooc
farm. Here the doors and windows ar
closed like the schoolhouse. Nelson anC
