Nice photo of Taylor Rd. With regards to working women, at Tricnit I could not keep up with the women I worked with. They were making 'piecework' while I had to be satisfied with minimum wage because I could not handle socks at a rate that would give me piece work wages. Glad to know that New Ipswich provided a place for women that needed a 'rest'. I was16,17, and 18 yrs old at the time.
I would have lunch in the boiler room with the men. One of them asked me what I wanted to do in the future, I said: "Cure cancer". At age 19 I got a job in Boston's new cancer research hospital, the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, named after a legend in health care. Every medical student learns about Lemuel Shattuck. His name, in large concrete letters, is on the London School of Hygiene for his contributions to world health. I thought he was from Boston (he was as an adult) but I later learned he was born in Ashby. It is only in the past year I learned his family moved to New Ipswich when he was a few months old and he was a resident of New Ipswich until he was 22. His father was buried in New Ipswich but I don't know where Lemuel is buried. His ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War.
