1 News and history from your museums December, 2009 Issue Tobacco Farming Tobacco farming was a major source of income in Enfield and much of the Connecticut River valley for many decades. The work was and still is hard, hot, and sometimes dangerous. Men, women, and in the days before child labor laws often very young children worked in tobacco fields and barns to earn critical income to support their families. Scenes from early twentieth century tobacco farming are shown on this page and page 6. The photos on this page were taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in August of 1917 for the National Child Labor Committee and are from the archives of the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C. Above: the 1917 title on this photograph reads leaf-boys 9 and 9 and 11 years old, Cybalski [sic] Tobacco Farm. Location: Hazardville, Connecticut. Despite summers filled with hard work the boys look healthy and at least one has a smile on his face. Left: Interior of tobacco shed, Hawthorn [sic] Farm. Girls in foreground are 8, 9, and 10 years old. The 10 yr. old makes 50 cents a day. 12 workers on this farm are 8 to 14 years old, and about 15 are over 15 yrs. Location: Hazardville, Connecticut. Also visible in the photo are at least five or six older women, but the total number of adult workers at the farm is not given. Close examination of the photo reveals no smiles.
2 EHS Newsletter December Enfield Historical Society Winter Calendar of Events Jan. 25, 2010 Feb. 22, 2010 Mar. 22, 2010 Apr. 26, 2010 May 24, 2010 Show & Tell With Special Guest Presenter Author Laurie Tavino 7:00 P.M. at the Enfield American Baptist Church. Show & Tell is the meeting where you provide the program. Bring your favorite antique, collectible, or heirloom and the story behind it. Bring something that is a mystery to you and perhaps someone at the meeting will be able to answer your questions about it. Or, simply share a story about Enfield s past. This Show & Tell will be extra special, as author, artist, and Suffield native Laurie Tavino will bring part of her extraordinary exhibit about the extended neighborhood that encompassed East Suffield and Thompsonville and that was created and held together by the old 1893 iron bridge between those villages. Laurie s exhibit was featured at the Kent Memorial Library in Suffield not just once, but twice by popular demand. Laurie used the photos and stories she gathered for the exhibit to write her book, Suffield s Old Bridge Neighborhood. More than just nostalgic looks at this special neighborhood, the exhibit and book document many facets of local history, from the impact of the Connecticut River on the area and the ways it was harnessed and used the canal, ferries, and bridges to the ways the many ethnic groups who immigrated here shaped both Suffield and Thompsonville socially and economically. Even if you saw the exhibit before, you will want to attend this meeting, as Laurie will share some of her favorite stories of the neighborhood and would love to hear your stories too! And, Laurie will have signed copies of her book available for purchase. Commercial Ice Harvesting in New England 7:00 P.M. at the Enfield American Baptist Church. Dennis Picard of Storrowton Village Museum returns with another interesting and educational program. Perhaps you have seen the collection of ice cutting equipment on display in the basement of the Old Town Hall Museum and have wondered just how the tools were used, or even why they were needed at all. Do you remember the days before refrigerators or at least before everyone could afford one? Did you have an ice box and need to have regular deliveries from the ice man? If you did, you probably know that the ice often came from lakes or ponds, where it was cut in the winter and stored in ice houses for those hot summer days. But did you know that New England ice was shipped all over the world? There will be lots to see and learn at this program. Best of all, the meeting is inside where it is nice and warm, unlike the frozen, windy ponds and lakes where the ice was cut! Dennis Picard has been a museum professional in the Living History field for thirty years. He has authored many articles on the lifestyles and folkways of New England and has also served as a consultant for many Historical Societies and Museums. He has held the position of Assistant Director and Director at several sites including Fort Number Four in Charlestown New Hampshire, the Sheffield Historical Society in the Massachusetts Berkshires and presently at Storrowton Village Museum in West Springfield Massachusetts.

3 EHS Newsletter December But did you know... The Simplex Manufacturing Company moved from Granby, Connecticut to Thompsonville in 1908, lured by a large, existing factory building and an offer from the Thompsonville Board of Trade to help finance the move to the tune of slightly under $800 (apparently enough to move a factory in 1908). Six of the company s directors visited the vacant Stockinet Mill on September 19 of that year and must have been pleased with what they found, as the plant was in operation and reported to be working overtime by March of 1909 producing machines for affixing stamps and labels to envelopes, as well as coin separating machines Unfortunately, the Simplex story was like that of many other companies at the time (and perhaps today too). Newspapers described their products as excellent or perfect, the demand high, the prospects nothing but good. Yet the company quickly failed. The factory closed on February 14, 1912, leaving about 30 employees without work. Thompsonville s Mark W. Bushnell was appointed receiver by Judge Reed of the Connecticut Superior Court soon afterward. Less than two weeks later, New York attorney Martin C. Ansorge, a federallyappointed receiver, took over from Bushnell. By that time creditors alleged that the company has liabilities of $66,000 and assets of $7,500 and that there are about 165 creditors. Simplex s problems were blamed on inside dissentions and an inept board of directors, not its products. On July 10, 1912, the factory was sold to the Extensive Manufacturing Company of New York for $5,000. The Simplex stockholders, many local, lost all of their capital investments in the sale. The new company had better success and by 1916 was looking for more space for its now 70 employees. Local investors were sought to finance the purchase of a larger facility, but eventually Simplex closed its factory in Thompsonville. Other businesses, including the Hartford Carpet Company, used the building over the years, and it was owned by the VFW when it was torn down in At least three photo postcards were published showing the Simplex Manufacturing Company. Above: A circa 1909 postcard showing the factory on Asnuntuck Street. The Dye House bridge is visible at right. Some of the men near the building are playing catch, while the remainder appear to be watching, or perhaps engaging in the baseball tradition of heckling the pitcher. Below: This postcard of the Simplex Mfg. Co. Assembling Department is filled with great details. The men at left are seated at drill presses, while those at right are hunched over their benches performing some manual tasks. The machinery is powered by overhead shafts, pulleys, and belts, which may have been driven by water flowing through a turbine and raceway that ran under the building to Freshwater Brook. Electric light fixtures, little more than bare bulbs with metal shades, hang from their cords over each worker s station. Other employees, perhaps from the office, stand at the back of the room.
4 EHS Newsletter December Right: The Simplex Mfg. Co. produced coin sorters, stamp and label affixing machines, and other similar devices. United States Patent 952,439 was issued on March 15, 1910 to Charles Fancher of Thompsonville and James Burt of Brooklyn, NY and was assigned to the Simplex Manufacturing Co. of Thompsonville. This patent was for a machine for affixing stamps and labels and is likely the machine referred to when the Hartford Courant reported that Simplex received a contract for the completion and delivery of 150 postage stamp attachment machines daily from August 1, 1909, to August 1, 1912, which will net the company nearly $400,000 yearly. The machine is a newly adopted one used in sticking postage stamps to envelopes and Drummond & Co. of New York will take the machines as soon as manufactured, for the period named. Perhaps the contract was not as profitable as reported, as the Simplex Manufacturing Company was in receivership by March of Left: This illustration is from a promotional booklet for the The Simplex filing machine, from the Extensive Manufacturing Company of New York, N. Y., Factory: Thompsonville, Conn. Extensive Mfg. Co. purchased the Simplex Mfg. Co. after Simplex failed in 1912 According to the booklet, The SIMPLEX Combination Bench Filer and Metal Hacksaw is a machine designed to take the place of hand filing and drill work, such as is required in making dies and other particular machine work. It is practically two perfect machines in one, and whether used as a filing machine or metal jigsaw, it is the best machine produced. Bolted securely to the top of a work bench, with table overhanging edge its full diameter, the base of machine occupies a bench space of only eight inches, and the driving shaft is at top of machine, thus leaving bench clear of belts and countershafts. It drives either the file or saw rapidly in a vertical position, with the cut on the down stroke, and has a quick return motion, exactly imitating the motions used in hand filing, only the stroke is more regular and accurate. To prove the quality and usefulness of The Simplex, numerous users from across the country were listed in the booklet. The Stanley Works in New Britain, Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, the Packard Motor Car Co. in Detroit, Underwood Typewriter Co. in Hartford, and the Springfield Armory are some of the names readers will likely recognize. Cost for The Simplex was $85 plus shipping from Thompsonville. Included in the price were many accessories, including counter-shaft, belt-shifter, workhold-down attachments, file-holding collars, hacksaw frame, guide rollers, jeweler s saw frame, punch filing attachment, and wrenches!
5 EHS Newsletter December Famous Evangelists Update Last issue s article about two famous evangelists who visited Thompsonville in 1908 ended with several questions, including who were Billy Sunday, Dwight L. Moody, and Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman? Reader Carole Pyne of the Somers Historical Society provides some answers: Bill Sunday and Dwight L. Moody were famous preachers all over this country. D. L. Moody ( ) was an American evangelist who founded the Northfield Schools in Massachusetts, Moody Church and Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and the Colportage Association. Billy Sunday ( ) was an American evangelist born in Iowa. A professional baseball player in the National League, he was saved in [He was] associated with J. Wilbur Chapman from 1893 to An evangelist from 1896 to 1935, he made an attack on liquor the mainstay of his campaign. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman ( ) was an American evangelist, revivalist and pastor. John Wilbur Chapman was born in Richmond, Indiana. Thank you Carole for this information! Hazardville Institute Memories Needed Reader Wally Bridge recently ed us with a few of his memories of the Hazardville Institute: I remember that there were plays [and] minstrel shows performed in the auditorium. A local dentist (Reginald Stowe) used to show 16mm sound movies there occasionally. I think that there might have been a kitchen in the building downstairs, which served meals for special occasions. Wally would like to see an article about the Hazardville Institute and we think that would be a great idea. We are also sure that many of you have your own memories of the Institute and we would like you to share them with us for an upcoming issue of the Enfield Historical Society newsletter. Please mail or your stories to the newsletter address at the bottom of this page. June Mystery Photos Can You Handle The Suspense? Last issue, we promised to print in this issue the information readers sent us about photos published in our June issue. The photos were taken by the Prickett family of Hazardville and show three unidentified houses. Unfortunately, your editor has not had time to investigate all of the information provided by readers Polly Brown, Dave Henry, and Wally Bridge, who are still waiting to see their names in this newsletter, so they will have to wait a little longer, and you will have to wait to see what they said.

6 EHS Newsletter December Tobacco Farming (continued from page 1) Colonel Hazard s mansion was located on Enfield Street across from the driveway of today s Enfield High School. The land behind the mansion was just one of many places where tobacco was raised during the golden years of tobacco farming in Enfield. The circa 1907 postcard at right shows tobacco cutting at the Hazard Place in a scene that is not so different from tobacco cutting today. All you need do is replace the wagon wheels with rubber tires, the horses with a tractor (perhaps a 50 year old tractor at that!), and the workers with migrant workers and perhaps a few teenagers, and you have a picture of tobacco cutting in Enfield today. The circa 1906 postcard at left shows a different tobacco farm in Enfield, this one identified as William Henry s Place. Despite the caption, no actual tobacco cutting seems to have taken place, and the necessary wagons for removal of the cut tobacco are nowhere to be seen. Do any of our readers know if there is a name for the wagons or trailers on which the tobacco was hung when it was cut? Other than tractors, what was used to pull the tobacco trailers in more recent decades? Do you have any photographs you could share with our readers? What other memories of tobacco farming do you have? We are preparing to update the tobacco farming exhibit at the Old Town Hall museum and need your help! At right is yet another postcard that shows tobacco cutting in Enfield. Or does it? Exactly the same postcard was published with the caption Tobacco Cutting, Suffield, Conn. While this postcard accurately portrays one phase of tobacco farming in Enfield, it may also be deceiving the viewer. We very likely will never know where the scene in this postcard actually was Enfield, Suffield, or some other town. This postcard highlights the care that historians must take when basing historical research on postcards. It also reminds us that perhaps we should take a closer look at the two cards above. Are they really where they purport to be? Can we confirm the locations based upon the buildings shown?
