• Notes

  When Walter's father died, he left the house on Wire Hill Road to Walter. He also left a certain sum of money to each of his children except Charles Henry, who was omitted for some reason. When Walter read the will, he left out the exception and paid an equal sum of money to Charles, who never knew his father had intended to have him omitted. In 1900, Walter had a nervous breakdown which resulted in his commitment to the Worcester, Massachusetts State Hospital, where he died. He made a very remarkable chain from one piece of wood, which was much admired. The chain later came into the posession of his neice, Drusilla (Monroe) Calitri.
