A Medfield Historical Minute...

This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.

"In 1904, Nathaniel Warren, an employee at the Cassidy Farm in Millis, was killed instantly when he was run over by an electric trolley car. Warren was crawling between the tracks going towards Millis on Main Street when he was struck by the trolley. It took workers over two hours to get his body out from under the trolley."
