   An interview with a very aged resident, giving an account of his recollection of experiences and observations in Marshfield in his boyhood days during the early part of last century:
   "In the war of 1812 we boys lived on bread and milk; no tea.   Used candles.   I remember the first lamp filled with whale oil.   They used tin "petticoat" lamps.   Soldiers in the war of 1812 camped down at the Gurnet.   They wore stiff leather collars to keep their necks up straight.   I recollect Tom Baker coming home.   He touched off the cannon that hit the British boat coming into Plymouth, and they retreated without further warning.   Remember seeing a "Man of war" from Richard's Hill, stationed off shore to guard the harbor.   We used to have pewter plates and platters, and we boys scoured them twice a year.   The school house was on the corner where the postoffice is now located.   Only one room.   Had a teacher who would keep school longest for the money.   I recollect one teacher struck Wales Rogers on the side of the head a tremendous blow.   I believe Amos Little was the first teacher that I had.
   "When peace was declared in the war of 1812, they rung the bells all night, and had plenty of new rum and cider.
