Josephine Hull, I was told, was a summer resident and lived in the large white house on Main Street at the corner where it meets Manley Road. There was perhaps another actress there as well, but I can’t remember her name. I think Josephine Hull was in the film version of Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant? I need to Google it.
You are correct about Josephine's summer residence. Back in the 1950's that was a beautiful residence with well manicured lawns and the ornamental pond behind the house, banked with stone all around was a strong lure for us neighborhood boys. We loved her performance in the movie "Harvey" with Jimmy Stuart.

She was originally from Newton, MA. Her aunt Ellen Tewksbury lived in New Ipswich. Yes, she was in Arsenic and Old Lace .
My uncle, Toivo Kangas, said he helped to build the dam which created that pond. Probably in the 30’s or later.
