BirthBirth — 1794
16 October 1794
Deerfield, Massachusetts, USA
NewsThe War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. It was primarily fueled by issues such as trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.
NewsFrom the 1840s through the 1880s, thousands trekked westward, carrying only a few belonging and supplies for the journey, and settling on the western frontier, forever changing the American West.
Invention 1843 - The Christmas card is invented (Sir Henry Cole and John Callcott Horsley, England)

Obituary
THE PITTSFIELD SUN
Pittsfield, MA
08-17-1848
Vol XLIX Issue 2500 page 3
RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Mr. Roland Stebbins of Deerfield, was killed on the railroad, on Thursday last, by the 4 o'clock passenger train.

He was walking home from this place on the track, and had reached the cut just below Cheapside bridge, where there is also a curve in the road. Being deaf, he could not hear the alarm which was given as soon as he was seen by the engineer, and all the exertions to stop the train before it struck him were unavailing. Mr. S. was a single man about 45 years of age, son of the late Col. Asa Stebbins of Deerfield--(Franklin Democrat)
