Recently discovered clues to my grandmother's SCOTT cousins have triggered....more questions! I found the names of Michael COHAN's parents as Cornelius COHAN and Hanora COHAN, and his wife Jane SCOTT's as William SCOTT and Jane CARROLL, in MA vital records. Did all or only some of these 3 couples live in North Brookfield, MA after 1878? I'm asking this because I turned up this quote on the North Brookfield official website, but don't know which year[s] it referred to: "George M. Cohan, a frequent visitor to his grandparents' home here, directed "Ah, Wilderness" at the local theater." It could have referred to George M's Costigan grandparents too of course, if they ever moved from Providence RI to North Brookfield... George M was born in Providence RI on 3 July 1878, and Jane Scott Cohan died in Springfield in 1897, where her gravestone says she was b. 1817. Michael COHAN died in 1859 in Springfield MA. Bartholomew HOWARD and Johanna COHAN [born SCOTT], both age 45 and residing in Springfield, married on 13 Oct. 1869, Springfield MA, clergyman M.E. BERRY, not sure which church. So far we think this is Michael Cohan's widow Jane Scott, despite age listed. [Remote possibility that Jane had a sister named Johanna, who married a different COHAN and also had a son named Dennis, also born the same year, ca. 1856 in RI? That would be a lot of coincidences...] Six months after the wedding, in July 1870, Bartholomew HOWARD age 36 was living in North Brookfield with his sons Merty 18 and Michael 10, but Jane COHAN age 46 was living in Ward 1, Springfield, with her sons Michael 15 and Dennis 13. Maybe a house hadn't been sold yet, etc. In 1880 census, in North Brookfield, we find Bartholomew HOWARD 67 b Ire. laborer; Jane HOWARD 58 wife b Ire. keeping house; Michael HOWARD 20 son b. Mass. works in shoe factory; Dennis COHAN 24 step-son b RI works in shoe factory. Also in household, Timothy HOWARD 28 and wife Mary 24, both b Ire. and their daus. Nellie 3 and Marg or Mary 1, both b MA; and Mary COLLINS 18 cousin at home b Ire. Does anyone know anything about this Mary COLLINS? Was she a Howard, Cohan, or Scott cousin, or was she related to Timothy Howard's wife Mary? Would a Springfield directory from around 1869 list M. E. Berry's church next to his name? Was Bartholomew Howard buried in North Brookfield because his first wife Catherine had been buried there, and Jane buried in Springfield because her first husband was buried there, or did Bartholomew and Jane divorce or separate after 1880? Any suggestions or ideas welcome. Sorry for the duplication for any of you on both Hampden and Worcester lists. Thanks, Barb Glassel WI

I am enclosing some information on Hungry Hill, also known as Liberty Heights. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE: The North Springfield area in which the Liberty Branch Library,773 Liberty Street, 1930 (SPR) is located is officially known asLiberty Heights, but among residents of Springfield, it has long been called "Hungry Hill". The origin of this name is unclear - one possible explanation is the large amount of food from Springfield Grocery stores that was delivered to the Hill's predominantly Irish families in the early 20`h century, hence the name, "Hungry Hill". The Liberty Heights area remained rural well into the 1880s. When theLiberty Street trolley line was established in 1892, the neighborhood's development as a streetcar suburb began, and with the construction of the Carew Street trolley line in 1921, accessibility to the neighborhood increased again. Liberty Street is one of the major roadways in the Liberty Heights neighborhood, running northeast from Main Street, then northward to Chicopee. At one time, this street was known as Emery Street and by 1868 it was renamed Liberty Street. The southwestem end of Liberty Street, close to Main Street, became an industrial area located directly on the railroad line by 1851 and by 1870, the construction of factories and warehouses had expanded northeastward to the intersection with Armory Street. During that time, many duplex and multi­family homes were built on Liberty Street close to the warehouses and railroad tracks. Further to the north, past its intersection with Armory Street, Liberty Street was mostly residential, with increasing numbers of duplex and multi-family homes being built in the 20' century. Small commercial areas were developed at intersections with Armory Street and Carew Street. The Liberty Branch Library is located close to the busy intersection of Carew and Liberty Streets. It was constructed in 1930 on a parcel of land purchased from Martin J. Brunton. Brunton, who owned a house located on that site, moved that house to a site at 29 Kendall Street. The land was sold to the City of Springfield and turned over to the Springfield Library Association. The Liberty Heights section of Springfield developed rapidly in the first quarter of the 20"' century and Library Association was eager to establish a larger library branch in the n neighborhood. Previous to construction of the Liberty Branch Library, a small local library branch was housed in the basement of nearby Liberty Methodist Church, 821 Liberty Street, 1922 (SPR). In 1929 this small lending library had increased its book circulation from 17,502 volumes to 27,347 volumes and was quickly outgrowing the space provided by the church. In 1930, Nathan D. Bill, president of the Library Association, was quoted as saying that the site at 773 Liberty Street was "a 100 percent ideal location because it will serve the neighborhood ideally and is a spot of beauty." For more information on Nathan D. Bill and his civic leadership, see the Gurdon Bill Park, 469 Liberty Street, 1916 (SPR) form. The Liberty Branch Library was designed by architect Max H. Westhoff of Chicopee, who also designed a number of notable Colonial Revival homes in the Forest Park neighborhood of Springfield. The library was built by the W. W. Davis construction firm of Springfield for $35,000.00. In the Liberty Heights neighborhood, the Davis firm also built the Glenwood School, 50 Morrison Terrace, 1930 (SPR) and the Liberty School, 962 Carew Street, 1919 (SPR). The Liberty Branch Library officially opened on May 15, 1931 with a collection of over 2,000 volumes. On that first day, the library staff was "amazed at the hundreds of children and adults that swarmed into the building" and by the end of the day there were only about 200 volumes left on the shelves. Within the first three days of the opening, 247 Liberty Heights residents who had never before used any library in Springfield had applied at that branch for library cards so that they might borrow books. The Liberty Branch Library has served this neighborhood for 70 years and is fondly regarded by members of the local community. There were large protests when the library was closed in 1990 due to lack of funding and it was re-opened a few years later. Today, the library is open two days a week and is a small, but very busy, branch library. O'Connell, James C. Hungry Hill Neighborhood Walking Tour, Springfield, 1985: p.15.

It represents the institutional development of an early 20th century suburban neighborhood in Springfield locally known as Hungry M. Until the late 19th century, this was a rural area of Springfield, populated mainly by descendants of early English settlers. As this area shifted from rural to a suburban neighborhood, it was increasingly populated first by Irish and French Canadian immigrants and later by other immigrant groups and second generation families whose men were employed as skilled workers in Springfield's numerous manufacturing industries. Liberty Heights' development as a suburb was facilitated by the extension of local streetcar lines and the neighborhood continued $o grow as the automobile became the preferred mode of transportation. This library was constructed in 1930 $o serve the needs of this growing residential neighborhood. This building is significant as an example of the, Colonial Revival architectural style of the 1930s. It is a good example of the work of Springfield architect M.H. Westhoff, who also designed a number of impressive Colonial Revival style residences in the city. 'This library budding has local significance and integrity of association, workmanship feeling, design, setting, and materials. -- WOW!

I'm not sure what its boundaries would be, but the center of the area is near the intersection of Armory and Carew streets. It's still called Hungry Hill today.Our Lady of Hope is the Roman Catholic parish on that corner.

Could anyone describe the area of Springfield MA known as Hungry Hill? Mainly I'd like to know its boundaries, and main streets during the19th century, and any major changes, such as street names. Maybe which manufacturing businesses and Catholic parishes would be in it? Which census or voting wards did it include? Also, what name[s] does it have now? Any particular books recommended about it, with early photos? Trying to picture it 1850s - 1890s. Thanks for any suggestions, Barb Glassel

Visit the following site and react accordingly. http://www.ancestry.aol.com/learn/library/article.aspx?article=3576 re: "Revolutionary War Site Threatened by Proposed Housing Development – Dick Eastman" "In a message on the York, Pennsylvania message board on RootsWeb, Blake Stough warns that developers want to destroy much of what is left of a Revolutionary War site in order to build new houses. I did a bit of research and found that others agree with Mr. Stough: there is a major risk of losing this site. Camp Security is the last remaining Prisoner-of-war camp used during the Revolutionary War. The historic site is being threatened by the proposed development of $300,000 homes." My 4x-great-uncle died there. I don't think he would approve of houses on his grave. Al -- FRIENDS...Thanking you in advance for your understanding and I apologize for the inconvenience.
