HOLYOKE HAS LOST HONOR
Town Officially Declared Not to Have

Spencer Morgan.

Holyoke, Mass, which has long
claimed the honor Of being the birth
place of Junius Spencer Morgan, grand
father of the present J. P. Morgan, has
been shorn of this fame by the town
Of West Springfield. This decision has
been rendered by the Connecticut Val.
ley Historical society.
The explanation lies in the fact that
the present city of Holyoke was for
merly a part of the town of West

opportunity to perpetuate family his

strumentality Of any public gift which
appealed to his fancy. Though Mr..
Morgan was unresponsive, the contest
between Holyoke and West Springfield
for birthplace honors progressed mer
rily and was settled only recently.
