Description
copied from old Griswold house in Buckland, where Mary Lyon had her first school (photo ca. 1939); "The ten hour system is the right one. A hand who will labor faithfully ten hours a day for his employer, ought to be entitled to the balance of the twenty four."* And during the war came further expansion. 1863 saw the start of the Colrain Mill, Everyone at Griswoldville calls the Cokain mill the "Willis Place". This is because the site was formerly the property of Major Daniel Willis (born Sudbury, March 25, 1772), who subsequently ran the foundry at Foundry Village. By the burning of his shop and destruction of his dam about the same time, he was practically ruined and died soon after."
