I’ve been looking through some history of the town lately, which is easy to do, thanks to the online content of both the Madison Library and the Madison Historical Society. One small piece of literature written in the 1920s shines a little bit of light on life prior to the piece, and how things were going at the time.

My grandmother, Edna, was raised on Mooney Hill Road, and her father worked as a partner at the local blacksmith shop. The remains of the foundation of the building is still located just north of the Church on Conway Road. Our looking glass of the time period is often that of through monochromatic photos and stories of old, told through such stories as this, the “brief history of Madison.”
