J.B. + S. J. Tirrell
James B. and Sarah Jane Tirrell

James Bradford Tirrell was born a month after his father's death, into a family that consisted of his mother, 32, and two older sisters, ages six and three. Their mother raised the family in the family homestead in South Weymouth, taking in boarders. When James was 9, the Civil War began. His mother married a boarder, Israel Justin Fearing, who immediately went to the War, where he died. James' twice widowed mother continued to raise the family at the homestead.

Sarah Jane Blanchard was born and grew up in that part of the town of Randolph which later became Holbrook. She was the sixth of nine children, the fourth of six children that lived to adulthood.

By the time he was seventeen (the 1870 Census), James was working in a boot factory.[6] By 1880 he had established himself as a peddler of candy and cigars.[7] He always lived near the family home, and by the 1900 Census was residing there, with his mother in a separate apartment.[8]

In their first twelve years of marriage, James and Sarah Jane had five children, all of whom lived to aduilthood.

The newspaper report of their fiftieth anniversary, reveals more details of the family:[9]

SOUTH WEYMOUTH COUPLE OBSERVE GOLDEN WEDDING

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, June 12--Fifty years ago yesterday, James Bradford Tirrell and Miss Sarah Jane Blanchard were married by Rev. George F. Stanton, then pastor of the Old South Congregational Church.

Last night in the old colonial house built in 1750, 459 Main St., in which Mr. and Mrs. Tirrell have lived all their married life and in which Mr. Tirrell was born, they observed their golden wedding of their marriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Tirrell were assisted in receiving by their children, Mrs. Charles A. Maxfield of Fairhaven, Arthur B. Tirrell of South Weymouth, Lewis O. Tirrell of Winchester, Va., Mrs. Richie T. Howe of South Weymouth and Wallace B. Tirrell of New Bedford. Ushers were the following grandsons: Bradford Tirrell, Gordon Maxfield, Norman Howe, Lawrence Maxfield and Winston Howe. Mrs. Arthur B. Tirrell had charge of the guest book. Serving the wedding lunch were the Misses Carrie Gardner, Annie Poole, Grace Stowell, Ethel Hayden, Doris Maxfield, Thais Maxfield and Margaret Tirrell.

An orchestra led by Luther Hayden played, Miss Mary Chapman sang. Miss Bessie Sargent gave readings and Miss Anna Cady piano solos.

Mr. Tirrell was born in the Maj. Bailey house Dec. 4, 1852, one of the three children of James B. and Maria (Bailey) Tirrell. He learned the trade of a shoeworker. In 1877 he became a salesman of confectionery in Plymouth and Norfolk Counties, continuing for 37 years, until his retirement 10 years ago. He is a member of Wildey Lodge, I. O. O. F.

Mrs. Tirrell was born in Holbrook, Sept. 29, 1855, one of seven children of Lewis A. and Lydia (Hollis) Blanchard. The family came to South Weymouth when Mrs. Tirrell was 6 years old. She is a member of the Old South Union Congregational Church. There are five children and ten grandchildren

Grandchildren Doris Maxfield Hartshorn and Charles Maxfield, Jr., shared with me their memories of their grandparents:

memories of granddaughter Doris Maxfield Hartshorn[10]
memories of grandson Charlie Maxfield[11]

So far as I know Sarah Jane and James B. Tirrell always lived on Main St., South Weymouth. . . . Arthur was in business with his father and always lived in South Weymouth. . . . I know Grandma Tirrell and Aunt Maym were both members of the Congregational Church in South Weymouth.

Always had the guest room with Aunt Harriet's picture on the wall. My grandfather's sister and my mother mother named for her. I always thought she was SO beautiful.

I played with Brad Tirrell and his crowd of girls and boys. Lots more friends and fun than at 91 Bridge St. Fairhaven. Brad and I climbed trees--had tree house, etc. Brad had a pony.

After Grandma Maria's death the Tirrell house was made over; plumbing installed; heating system installed; no more baths in the big wash tub in the kitchen and heating water on the stove. No more going out through long shed to outside toilets--expecting rats and mice to pop out any time. Nice warm house.

Grandma and Grandpa moved into Maria's apartment--all remodeled. There they fixed their first apartment over to rent. My Dad did the plumbing and heating for them weekends.

My Grandmother taught me to eat several vegetables that I wouldn't try before this, but if Grandma said they were good--they were.

I think I was the one member of the Maxfield family that visited regularly with Grandma and Grandpa Tirrell. When I was about 3 or 4 years old my mother had scarlet fever. So I was sent to South Weymouth by electric car with my little suitcase and a tag on the front of me: "Please see that this child is transferred in Brockton to Rockland car; at Rockland to South Weymouth electric car and see that she gets off car in South Weymouth at corner of Main and Park Avenues. Her grandmother will meet her.

We all had to go to Sunday School.

When I was in South Weymouth Aunt Sadie would make sure my laundry was done so that Grandma T. didn't have additional work.

I was always begging my mother to let me stay another week at Grandma Tirrell's.

Aunt Sadie and Grandma T. and I played "parcheesey" by the hour and "slap-jack."
If I was uneasy on Sunday--I was told, "find a book and go down in the meadow under the tree and read." NOW that is old Rte. 128.

He liked cigars and he liked to listen to the radio. He couldn't be bothered--we'd go visit them maybe once or twice a year, and he'd sit in that chair rocking, looking at the radio, at the ballgame . . . he followed all those ball games. He had enough cigars. He was a dealer in cigars. All he had to do was go out to the barn and get another box of 50.

He used to come down to Marion once in a while. Once or twice he came down there to visit. As long as it was the time of year before his garden. Because he had a big garden, he wouldn't leave the place for anything. But when he came down there he'd go out and chop wood. We had a wood shed. Chop wood and chop wood! One time he got mad out there and wanted to go home--we took him home.

My Grandmother, well she was a nice lady. Once or twice I ate up there but I didn't enjoy it too much, I'll tell you why. Whatever they had is what you ate, whether you liked it or not. If you ate part of what you liked and if you wanted some more, first you had to finish everything on your plate. They served us; we didn't serve ourselves.

In 1961, when I was in High School, I prepared a chart of the eye and hair color of family members, with the assistance of my parents and some phone calls. The following is my report on the children of James and Sarah Jane.[12]

Arthur Bradford Tirrell, eldest son, continued to live in South Weymouth, and took over his father's business. He was a member of South Parish Church [Congregational], in Weymouth.[13] His obituary follows:[14]

Arthur B. Tirrell, 77, South Weymouth, Dies

Arthur B. Tirrell, 77, proprietor of a wholesale confectionary and tobacco firm in Weymouth, died yesterday at his home, 755 Main St., South Weymouth.

A lifelong resident of Weymouth, Mr. Tirrell was a past president of the Cape Cod Travelers' Association and a past senior councillor of the United Order of Commercial Travelers.

He leaves his wife Sara; a son, D. Bradford of Randolph, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Howe of South Weymouth. . . .

Lewis Oliver Tirrell, second son, lived in a variety of places, working as a hotel manager. The 1900 Census found him at Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, working as a clerk in a railroad office.[15] In 1910 he was a clerk in a hotel in Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut.[16] The 1920 Census found him at the Hotel Green, Danbury, where he was the manager.[17] In 1930 he was managing a hotel in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York.[18] The 1940 Census found him managing the Lycoming Hotel at Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania,[19] where he worked from 1932 to 1953. In 1914 he married Mabel Lovella (Curtis) Mann, a divorcee with one child. Lewis and Mabel had no children of their own. The following newspaper report of his retirement provides more details of his life.[20]

L. O. TIRRELL RETIRING AS HOTEL MANAGER

The retirement of Lewis O. Tirrell, manager of the Lycoming, was announced Wednesday evening at a meeting of the board of directors of the hotel. Mr. Tirrell's retirement will become effective on April 1. He has been manager of the local hotel for the past 21 years.

The board has not yet selected anyone to succeed Mr. Tirrell in the managership of the hotel.

Mr. Tirrell's career embraces 55 years of continuous association in an executive capacity with various hotels in the East.

A native of Weymouth, Mass., he first entered the hotel field in 1898 as manager of the Hotel Hemenway, Boston. He held that position for seven years. He then went to the Cooley Hotel, Springfield, Mass., as assistant manager. He remained there for another seven years, and followed this with two years each as assistant manager at the Hotels Bond and Heublein. both in Hartford, Conn.

In 1916, Mr. Tirrell became manager of the Hotel Green in Danbury, Conn. He stayed there seven years. In 1923, Mr. Tirrell became associated with the American Hotels chain, then in the process of organization. He worked out of its New York office under the direction of Gen. J. Leslie Kincaid, serving as a zone supervisor and overseeing the design, construction and equipment of the early hotels of the chain.

In this capacity, he started in operation the Hotels Burritt, New Britain, Conn.; Colonial, Gardner, Mass.; and George Washington, Winchester, Va. In 1926 he assumed the general managership of the Hotels Hendrick Hudson and Troy in Troy, N.Y., as well as supervising managership of the Hotel Queensbury, Glen Falls, N.Y., and the Governor Clinton, Kingston, N.Y. Mr. Tirrell came to Williamsport in 1932 as general manager of The Lycoming and has been here since that time.

In his years at The Lycoming he has seen to it that the hotel has kept pace with every improvement that makes for progress in hotel operation. He has kept the standards for the house so high that today its position in the upper brackets of Pennsylvania hotels is secure.

The local hotel manager has long been a member of the Pennsylvania Hotels Association and the American Hotels Association. Aside from his hotel duties, Mr. Tirrell has always taken an active interest in the civic life of Williamsport. He is a mason, a Rotarian, a member of the Governing Board of the Williamsport Hospital and treasurer of the Lycoming County Chapter of the American Automobile Association. Mr. Tirrell's wife died on Sept. 13, 1952. Her son, Curtis Mann, is executive assistant manager of The Lycoming. He resides with his wife and two sons at 2514 Hillside Avenue. Mr. Tirrell, who plans to remain a resident of Williamsport, has a brother and a sister residing in South Weymouth, Mass.

Mary Maria Tirrell lived most of her life in South Weymouth, where she was a member of South Parish Church [Congregational]. She taught first grade for two years before she married Ritchie Howe. Ritchie was a butcher.[21] They had two sons, Norman and Winston. Norman was reported in the 1930 Census boarding at Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut, where he worked as a clerk for a typewriter manufacturer.[22] He married in 1932, and they were living in Abington, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, in 1940, where he worked as a clerk for a plumbing and heating concern.[23] Winston married in 1933, and in 1940 lived at Weymouth and worked as a clerk for a ship building corporation.[24]

Wallace Blanchard Tirrell married in 1909, and lived in New Bedford, Bristol County, Massachusetts, where he was reported in 1920 working as a salesman,[25] in 1930 as foreman in a store,[26] and in 1940 as a "house man" at a hotel.[27] He is remembered by the family as working at a fireworks plant in Bridgewater,[28] Plymouth County. His brief obituary follows:[29]
