It has be€n quite a task to prepare the above lists,
but they should prove their worth as the years go by.
Peck's History of Wilbraham was one of the sources of
information but it was hard to tell which men came
from Wilbraham and which from Hampden. Hem)'
1. Edson of Glendale Road, Wilbraham was of great
assistance in this phase of the research.
State lists of Revolutionary and Civil War soldiexf>
in the local library were consulted and visits were made
to the local cemeteries checking data.
It is interesting to note the large number of men
who fought in the Revolutionary War in comparison
with the small population of the town at the time and
also the large number who went from some of the
families. Who ran the farms in their absence?

Report of Board of Selectmen
1959 was a year of progress and changes for
Hampden . The most significant event was t he opening
of Mi nnechaug Regional High School offering a four­
year hig h school cU lTiculum to students from Ha.mpden
a nd Wilbraham. Cooperation with our s isler town of
Wilbra ham in this Regional Dishict has br ought about
increfl.sed cooper ation in other ci vic problems, and th iJ>
wor kiu g tog-ethel' has been good for all con cern ed.
Chapter 90 Construction work was continued on
Cha pin Road, with an other section being widened and
hardened. Chaptel' 90 Maintenance money was spent
on Allen Street. Wilbraham Road . a nd Scant ic Road .
with Chapter 81 money being spent on a ll r oads in
toW!! fo r necessar)' t arring and other ""ork. At t ho
an nual Town Meet in g in March, Old Coach Road and
Cedar Onk Lane wer e accepted as Town r oads. 1''''..·0
lleW street lightc; wer e placed on Hickory Lane, and
plans a.r e underway for better lighting on Main Street,
near t he Poat Office. $300 was g r an ted by the County
for drainage work dOlle near Bue reau'-s Garage, Mu in
St.
An a udit of the books of the Town was made by
State Auditors t his fall, and the accounts were fOllnd
to be corr ect.
In addition to the- annual Town Meeting, two
Special TO WIl Meetings were held . Necessa ry new
pollin g booths were constructed by the Indust ri a l Arts
Department of the Hampden Juni or High, t hifJ work
being done for less money than if it had been dOlll:l
by a regular contractor. Appreciation is expressed to
Howard Cutting for his direction of thi s project.
Pursuant to vote a t the Annual Town Meeting, a
27
new :Iteam boiler was installed at the Town House,
which, together with insulation put in the entire build·
ing at the same time ; and zoned heating in the Audi·
torium and the room below used by the School Depart­
ment for a Home Economics Room, to be completed
soon, has a.lready shown a reduct ion in f uel bills and
jns llrance premiums on the boiler, as well as greatly
increa sed comfort and efficiency of heating.
Acting unde r t heil' authority as the Local Lice nsing
Board, the Selectmen held public headngs all two appli .
cations for liquor licenses; one fo r a Clu b license, and
olle 101' a Package Store license. The Club li cen se was
g ranted alld t he Pa.ckage Store application denied.
The Board of Selectmen has met once each week
during the yeal", and ha\'e met with other Town Boards
a nd officers. as occas ion required . Appreciation is
expressed to ull elected and appointed officials. a!; well
as t he r es.idents of Hampden , for their assistance and
cooperation.

Report of the Superintendent of Streets The Highway Department Wa.'l engaged in its rou·
tine duties of spring maintenance, ditch cleaning , cu l­
vert installations. scraping and patching during the
year 1959. There was, however, a minimum of patch ing
considering the frost action of last winter.
In May and June, the 1958 Cha pter 90 Co nstr uc­
tion funds which are carried over were spent a ll Chapin
Road, blasting ledges at the place of Ches ter Dickinson.
In November and December, the 1959 m oney hardened
Chapin Road to that point and completed the tree a nd
stump removal, ledge blasting, widening and prelim·
inary grading do\vn t he hill to a point beyond the E arle
Walker residence. A forty-eight inch m etal cuivel-t 40
feet long was also installed and about 2000 yards of
gravel hauled there. Another year with about t he sam ~
Chapter 90 appropriation, the bard surfac e on Chapin
Road could be very nearly completed. This road h a~ been
difficult to maintain in the past .
The Re:i Uliacing Program wa.:; ca11'ied out on Am es,
Bennett, Chapin, Sout h and North Roa ds with Chaptel'
81 F und;:; while Scantic, Wilbraham a11<1 Springfield
roads were sealed with Chapter 90 Main tenan ce fun ds.
They ar e allotments which can only be spen t t o help
maintain roads which were built with Chapter DO Con·
~ tru c ti on .
At the t ime of this report, all equ ipment i~ in good
condition. The Departmen t has two good dump trl1 cks .
a 1957 and a Hl58, HJ'ld has not had to hire outside
t rucks onl y fOl" the Chapin Road gravelling. Th e sander
35
truck has worked out very well on winter work. Our 2S·
year old grader did all the grading last year without
any repairs. We did purchase new rear tires, th e old
ones hav ing been on the machine for 22 years . Some­
time the t axpayers will be faced with the problem of
pllrchasing a new bucket loader. Our 1951 Hough lo'ader
has only the single drive and has worked out very
well for us and is a piece of equipment that is essen tial
for all highway departments today.
A certain amouot of Chapter 81 money can be ~ed
for so-called permanent work such as hardening back
r oads provided there is any available after the necessary
maintena nce is completed. Last year about 800 feet of
Thresher Road, 600 feet completing Woodland Drive,
GOO feet on Carmody Road and two intersections of
Sess ions Drive were gravelled and black t opped with
t.h ia money.
The department constructed a salt bin ill the ya rd,
using olel creosoted tcJephone poles and bridge planhs
which were stored in the Highway Departm ent ya rd
~ ince th e 1955 flood . This ena bles the town to purchase
salt in the bulk at considerable saving per ton. Th e cost
of snow removaJ is costly enough anyway cOll!>.idcring
tire c bains , cutt ing edges of good steel so that any sav­
illg of this kind is worthwhile.
'111e department ha.... appreciated th e automatic
beat and fac ilities which were installed a year ago.
