Notes

Weymouth Ways and Weymouth People: Reminiscences

By Edmund Soper Hunt

"Of my teachers, I remember well Miss Seymour, from Hingham; Miss Emeline Merritt, from South Weymouth, and Miss Boynton, from Scituate, who were favorites with the school children; then came Miss Lucy J. Chipman, who on June 4, 1842, became the wife of my cousin, Richard A. Hunt, late of Front street. These teachers taught school in the room on the first floor, while the room above was occupied by a male teacher."
