Medfield

Obed lived in one of the farm neighborhoods near Medfield, a town famous in King Philip's war.

A horseman came riding into Medfield, blowing a horn, and calling upon the farmers to volunteer.

Then the quakes at Harkness and Medfield were real earthquakes!

A pastoral landscape near this town inspired the characteristic painting “The Medfield Meadows.”

We think it can be shown that while Medfield is proud of having such a son, he was fortunate in having such a birthplace.
