New Steam Whistle for Estey & Green

Event date: May 8, 1862

Estey & Green have established a steam whistle on their Melodeon Factory in this village, and at six in the morning, high twelve, and again at 6 ‘clock in the evening, its notes of warning may be heard throughout the village. This is a great public convenience to those not within reach of a time-piece or whose clocks and watches cannot be made to keep correct time.
