Notes:

Mr. Puffer gives a pen picture of the Josiah Puffer homestead in Westminster: "Situated on a rising ground, separated from a lofty eminence only by a valley that modern engineering might bridge and in distinct view the bold Wachusett reared its lofty head; often hid in the clouds, the wind roaring it is forests, the precursor of the coming storm; or, when milder weather prevailed, far up its green slopes might be seen flocks and herds peacefully grazing upon its sides, the first light of morning gilding it and the party rays of sunset playing upon its summit; from whose top could be seen rivers and lakes, mountains and meadows giddy heights and gloomy hollows; villages and valleys, field and forests, farms and firesides; towns built for purposes of trade, and temples erected to t he worship of the Most High. Also in full view and at the foot of Wachusett could be seen a placid lake of the same name, better known, perhaps, as Foskett's 'Pork Barrel.' This was stocked with fish of various kinds, horn pouts predominating. These as you know are induced to come in schools to the shore by building fires near the water, and thus become easy prey to the angler. Here on fish forever fresh, near groves forever green, lived Daniel Foskett, and he was a good man and a Baptist, or as he expressed it, 'a burning and shining light in that part of the town, a candle of the Lord'. An unregenerate neighbor of his who lived on the opposite side of the lake said of him in connection with his burning and striking light, that he was so in pout-time, and as to his being a candle of the Lord: 'I suppose that he might be called a dipt candle.'"
