Letter to the Editor:  "Thank you for the copy of "About Towne" with my article on Clara Barton. For you members who might be interested in visiting some of the Salem End sites in Framingham, there are five homes from that era that are still standing:
Peter and Sarah Cloyes House - 657 Salem End Road
Caleb Bridges House - Gates Street near Country Club Lane
Nurse Homestead - 890 Salem End Road
John Towne House - 225 Maple Street
Israel Towne House - 67 Salem End Road.
All the houses have historical markers except the Nurse Homestead which has recently changed hands from an institutional owner to a private family, and will have a marker as soon as renovations are completed. A visit to our Old Burying Ground on Main Street will yield many memorials to family names such as Clayes/Cloyes, Nourse, and Bridges, although the Townes tended to move on to other towns.  There is only one Towne grave marker there, for Louisa Towne (1814-1867), indicating that she was the wife of Joseph B. Towne. The earliest marker relating to the Salem End families is for Benjamin Bridges, Sarah Cloyes' son by her first marriage.  It is of rough field stone, and the crudely cut epitaph says, "When he served his generation, by the will of God he fell asleep." He died on 1723.
