Westfield Volume II

Westfield Volume II covers the history of the city from

the mid-nineteenth century through the late twentieth

century, and highlights the accomplishments of its

citizens. Locally famous Westfield residents like Joseph

Buell Ely and Herbert W. Kittredge are spotlighted,

as well as less well-known but equally significant

contributors to the civic and social history of the

city. The development of the city's infrastructure is

chronicled, and important events in the community's

development are illustrated.

Many images in this volume were submitted by

present and former residents of Westfield in response

to the authors' request for vintage images. In poring

through these vast submissions, authors Cramer

and Ackerman have produced a second book that is

destined to bring back memories and enliven interest in

Westfield's fascinating past.
