Who Had These Comments: Very well done. My grandfather, James Golden was born in Leominister in 1872 and he and my grandmother are buried in St. Leo's cemetary. Grew up in Marlborough and always drove to Leominster around Memorial Day. His family is gone - the Golden's -but other relatives are Higgins, Crain, Reagan, Healy - all Irish. Their graves are all in the same vicinity at St. Leo's. His parents came from Roscommon (Coleman) and Sligo (Golden, McGoldrick, Golding) I went to Ireland to the Golden homestead and found many other related lines who came to Leominster as well. They lived on Cottage Street.

By: Ethel Spaulding Oliver
E-Mail: Ethel Spaulding Oliver
Who Had These Comments: I'm Ethel Spaulding Oliver, and my GreatGrandfather was Wm Henry Spaulding former fire chief of your fair city and also a piano maker. I believe one of his creations is being displayed at the Leominster Historical Center. My Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Carter whose father Charles Carter was son of Oliver Carter who gave Carter Park to Leominster - if I'm getting my history correct. They lived at 26 Summer St for decades. The Carters are pretty easy to trace, but I've not had good luck with Wm. Spaulding's background. Jean (his youngest daughter) who was a librarian at the Leominster library for 50 years, did try to do some tracing back, but that was in the days before computers and she wasn't too successful. I only have what she passed on to me to go by,and I have stone walled for right now.Hoping to find more, but if you know anyone who might have info on the Erastus H. Spaulding family of Rochester,NY I would surely appreciate it.Thanks! Ethel Oliver

Who Had These Comments: I spent yesterday in Leominster looking for some
information on my grandmother. If you have any information about Mildred
Davis b. 11-2-1899 d. 05-14-1958. I would greatly appreciate it. I can tell
you she was in a nursing facility on Orchard street. Father Charles P. Davis
Mother Amy J. Davis (I believe her maiden name is Fitzgeral). I believe Amy
had a sister Geneva (Fitzgerald) Biscoe. I think Amy and Geneva's fathers
name was Edward. I really could use ANY information you may have. This might
help... Charles died at a young age, due to an accident that happened at
the A.W.Colburn factory. Both his legs were severed, and he died a few days
later. Thank you in advance for any information you may have.
