which was more than any other town west of Watertown gave and nearly twice as much as Springfield or Northampton.
Artist Elbridge Kingsley, the painter-engraver, lives in Hadley's historical street and is principally known through his engraving of "New England Elms," which was awarded a gold medal at the Paris exposition. The illustrations for this Souvenir were furnished by him, and his impressional retouchings in them show his love for color and character in Nature. Clarence Hawkes, the blind poet, resides on the same street with Kingsley. Artist Clifton Johnson also resides in this town and John Howard Jewett, the poet of the day (May 7) now of Worcester, was a native of this place.
The publishers are indebted to the painting by Chapman for the reproduction of his conception of the perils of the forefathers of Hadley. The story is told elsewhere.
