ED HINKLEY
One of the most contented men in Pittsfield is Ed Hinkley. He lives in a cabin all alone and does his own cooking, and other housework. He is very fond of bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee and believe it or not, he can make a stack of cakes, that go very well with pork sausage and maple syrup. In the summer time, he raises a good garden and saves plenty of dry beans for winter use. By the way, Mrs. E.R. McConnell sometimes helps Ed out in his menu by furnishing him a few extra dishes of food. Yes, indeed, she gets early peas, lettuce, and radishes from his famous garden. Ed Hinkley's little cabin was located on the west side of SR58, just north of the Ed McConnell Homestead. (Wellington Enterprise 10-3-1946)
LOCKED HERSELF IN THE HOUSE
Elizabeth Ann McConnell (Betty Hurst) is in trouble again!!! She was two years old at the time. Her mother went to see husband Joe, and Betty hooked the screen and then turned the key in the lock. Her mother had to borrow a ladder of some painters and climb into a window. Betty can't see yet why she should be scolded. (Wellington Enterprise 10-3-1946)

2000 PINE TREES PLANTED
Jack Kennedy, who lives on the corner of Hawley and Hughes roads, has a farm with a pond on it. Recently Jack planted 2,000 pine trees, locust and hard maple trees which will need attention badly this coming summer. Jack is on the Oberlin College faculty and is planning to go to Europe this next year. He also has a fine acquaintance with Harold Brandt, Boy Scout Explorer Guide and Forester. Allen Knapp, LeRoy Jordan and Jack Krueger of his Explorer Scout group have promised to care for the little forest in Jack's absence. They will be helped by other boys working for badges in conservation. As a result of this, Mr. Kennedy allows the boys to fish and camp on his farm. It s a great opportunity for the boys to have a permanent campsite. The trees are planted seven feet apart, and are growing nicely.(Wellington Enterprise 2-3-1955)
