THE GROVER FARM. This tract was originally settled by Freeman Rodgers, and purchsed by Elijah Grover about 1844. At his death it was deeded to his son, John N. Grover, who by will transferred it in 1884 to its present owner, mr. Frank S. Grover. The place consists of 175 acres and fronts on the main road from Dana to Barre, being 1 mile from the former and 6 miles from the latter. It contains an old style frame house in good repair and outbuildings, all of which are supplied with running water from a spring that never fails. There is a wood lot of 40 acres on the place, and a trout brook which runs the entire length of the farm. General farming is carried on, which finds a ready sale in the home markets.

"THE MAPLES". Located on the road running north from Dana to Athol, and on the banks of a large and beautiful sheet of water, surrounded by mountains, lakes and streams, is "The Maples," the home of Mrs. mary M. Bassett. This farm, which was owned by a Mr. Allen, and then by M. T. Knapp, who sold to Mrs. Bsasett March, 1897, is one of the most desirable in Worcester County, and consists of 30 acres, which contains a handsome frame house and out-buildings. Very little is done in the way of general farming,a s Mrs. Bassett purchased the place for a home.

THE STONE FARM. This place was first settled by a Mr. Bryant, who sold it to Elias Stone in 1804. He deeded it to Daniel Stone, and from him it descended to his son and daughter, the son, James S. Stone, afterwards purchasing his sister's share. The tract originally consisted of 500 acres, but it has since been reduced to 27 acres, being located in the village of North Dana. When the property came into the hands of Mr. Elias Stone it contained a small frame house and barn, but Mr. Daniel Stone afterwards erected a fine house, which was burned in 1887, and the present house was built a short time afterwards. General farming is carried on, the products of which are disposed of in the home market.
