Event date: Oct 4, 1844
Samuel Earl, Esq., Overseer of the Poor in this town, has presented us a mammoth Squash, grown upon the ‘Poor farm,’ and cultivated by Mr. Ward. Two hills of vines produced 17 large squashes. The three largest weighed 91, 96, and 109 lbs. Several others were nearly as large. They were the kind known as the Cream Squash.
