Some unusual moving scenes in Medford.
We have in our Medford Scrap Book a picture of a moving event which occurred on February 18, 1908, when an irregular block of Milford granite was by a horse battalion, carried from West Medford to Wildwood Cemetery in Winchester.
It was something out of the usual course of events and worthy of permanent record in Medford annals.
Brought by rail to Tutten's granite works, the inscription was there made in a somewhat unique manner by Medford artisans.
The letters were deeply cut in the stone, broader at the back than at the surface and filled with lead; thus securely dovetailed in. Weather conditions precluded transportation on sleds as intended, and the season was advancing.
So four thick oaken wheels three feet in diameter, on one axle with surmounting timbers, formed a stout truck on which the eighteen ton block was loaded.
This carried the load, while others of the usual type were forward, to which five pairs of horses were attached.
