This resource has been listed in other parts of the forum to access Philips' work on Fall River. However, I've been finding a lot of details about the era and the Borden family in these newspaper articles. It's a great resource for newbies.
The "Lizzie" newspaper article referring to Kate McGurk's article should read 1892, not 1982 (newspaper typo!).
In the book section, the Corporate Annals includes sketches of the mayors including the 2 Mayor Buffingtons.

Sorry you couldn't get in, Augusta. It's possible access closes for the day when the library closes. I had no trouble getting in now.
The article on Steep Brook has some parts cut off, but it was still interesting to read. I could never quite place where "Steep Brook" was before. It is interesting to note that the names Miller and Terry were tied to Steep Brook's history and Lizzie had servants with both last names. I need to refresh my memory about the Steep Brook references in the Lizzie legend.

The newspaper article had a picture of the Steep Brook trolley car, "the last horse car on the North Main Street line." It talks about how much of Steep Brook is where Route 24 connects to 79 near North Main. I used to have a client in that end of FR that I used to visit all the time, but I had no idea that was where Steep Brook was. The article talks about how the city has lost the memory of Steep Brook.
It's almost in Assonet. (That's A-sown-it, not Ass-on-it!)
