TOWN TOPICS.
NAMES FAMILIAR TO MANY.
A Bedding Friend Makes Suggestions

Editor of Bee, Dear Sir: as a read CT of your paper l have been much interested in the opinions regarding the retaining and changing of old names famiilar to us and the past generations. While we may both and all be right in a way and each and all have a right to his or her opinion there are some facts in the case which l as resident, personally know. Speaking of the Couch family, no more fitting name could be given to the hill than Couch's Hill, for he, Nash Couch, practically owned all of it. He was an honest, industrious, much respected citizen, a gentleman of the old school. l have often heard my mother speak of visiting them and what fine old mansion home his was. Then tEe son, William Couch, many of us remember as a good neighbor, quiet, sober, pleasant man to meet, a successful farmer and a character that all might emulate. ] for another say, let us perpetuate the name Couch's Hill. Very true MT Peck has planted trees and flowers in profusion and has fine home which we all admire, but l do not see any just reason to change the name to Sunset Hill. MT Luttgen has pur- chased land in East Woods and has prepared a number of acres for a lake and is making a drive through the property. He, too, with MT Peck, advocates through your paper keep ing the old names, not making changes even if the name is object ionable. Well, he informs us he has named his lake Hopewell Lake, and his drive Hopewell Lane. Why not perpetuate the old name of East Woods, East Lake and East Lane. l have a deed written in 1916 of land in that locality, mentioning it as sit uated in East Woods; also several other deeds of later date naming that tract of wooded land East Woods. Always called East Woods by all our old inhabitants, that made it their occupation, their means of earning money in Winter hauling wood to Bethel to supply the hat factories with fuel before coal was universally used. Now I say about East Woods, as you say about Dodgingtown, why change the name? Quite a little below is Hopewell Woods and Hope we'll district. I think Dodgingtown is not even a school district. It is Flat Swamp district. Change the name Dodgingtown by all means. Do not let another generation hear that such name ever existed as 'Dodger" so often called.-[A Reader of The Bee.

THOMAS D. SUGDEN GIVES HIS
 VIEWS.
A Voice From Bridgewater.
Bridgewater,

Brldgewater,
 December II, 1909.
 MT Editor, Dear Sir: Only a few lines, but the subject l read in your interesting paper, in reference to Sunset Hill or Couch Hill, should be of great interest to all lovers of his tory. While I am in favor of the name Sunset Hill, desire to say that I am greatly in favor ofokeeping most of the old Colonial names, especially Indian names. May I ask some one, what did Couch do that his name be used at all, or only in a general way, as the Couch estate? Did he live on the estate or not, or did he merely buy the land as many others have done, expecting it to rise in value, and then sell it? If so, then Sunset Hill may Oe considered best, coming from an actual settler who appreciates the view in the west, ot the setting sun. So far as the chang ing of names is concerned it is often done nowadays in districts where inn provements are going on, and this is as it should be, for many names are simply ridiculous and out of place. That our old time ancestors should be honored as much as possible in the selection of names for their new homes, when our country was wild arness, 1 am in favor of. l fail to see why the name Couch Hill should be retained only on the original deed of the estate. l don't tahe much stock in land speculators. They are not likely to help anyone; only them selves. How many of those men who combined to buy the lands of New Milford years ago, ever lived on their lands Only very few names I find settled in the town. The actual set tlers WhC came after and bought the farms are entitled to our respect. They who came and felled down the forest trees, cleared up the land, and tOiled late and early to make the land grow food for their families and others who were to follow them. So let us have pleasant names with something real and interesting about them, but do away with all such names as Poverty Hollow and such unpleasant names, and so far asCouch Hill is concerned, it is of little ac- count, as the estate is known as Couch's estate, on the town records. That is immortality enough. As the whole ,.uman family is given to a little vanity we will not complain, but rather think of the poor Indian who got the worst of the deal. l doubt very much if Couch would have bought the land at all if he had not got it for a very few cents per acre. He played a sharp trick on the Indian who did not know it's real value. The land was got for almost nothing. Couch was like many others. If this kind of work tends to immortality, nay the Lord spare me from that kind of immortality. Give me the honest name of a fair-dealing man. Many of our early land owners were no better than land grabDers. The hdians were robbed right and left all over the country. nere and there few were honestly dealt with by the whites, but these are rare ex-. captions.
