Witch Stories Told
Susan M. Ben-'o
To Grandson 9.
Passed Along To
Granddaughter.
Today. when a person passes t
stately but quiet ,Mathews 'estet
andimnhsion in West avenue. h
would probably think that there w
lino” stories buried in the house.
t
‘great pomp and great fashion.
He would never connect [host or
witch stories with the locals of this
big stone pile, erected in the short
period of prosperity at the close of
the Civil War. But during the past
century there has been many stor-
ies told' of the rise and full of this
now solsinn acreage. ‘ '2
But the Sentinel has two interest-
ing stories emanating irom these an-
cient grounds and the tales have to
do with witches!
These stories were told by Susan
Marvin Benedict who resided on this
estate in the early belt of the last
century. For 100 years a Benedict
homestonthhail stood there. The
first house was burnt by General
'l‘ryon in his raids on Norwalk dur-
leg the Civil War. The last of the
Benedict houses. located Just back
or the main present main gate or
the cstate.was torn down. when at
the close of the Civil War. Susan
Marvin Benedict deeded the proper-
ty to LeGrand Lockwood.
The following witch stories were
told by Mrs. Benedict to her grand-
son .lamcs E. Benedict, and written
out by him for his granddaughter.
Frances Benedict:
The witch stories which I prom-
ised to write out for you ware re-
lated to me by my Grandmother
Benedict when I was a boy. She
was your grent-great-grandmother
and was born in the late seventeen
hundreds. The time of the ilrst
story must have been about 1690.
and of the ‘second about 1725 or a
little beford.‘a time when they had
not yet ceased the burning of
witches in Europe where many thos-
s nds lost their lives in this hor-
r ble manner. Fortunately, my
me cry is very good for things
whi h interested me. The words of
course are in part lost, but the pic-
tures which they conveyed to my
mind are indelible. From these pic-
tures as much as by the rememb-
ered words I am able to reconstruct
the stories 'just about as they were.
related to me.
Chimney Dolled British
To glvs the stories a proper set-
ting. I must give you Just a peep
at the house where I was born and
whqe my grandparents lived. it
was a large farmhouse of the New
England type built around a huge
chimney. The chimney was left
standing because the British did not
have powder enough with them to
blow it down when they burned
Dnnbury and Norwalk. The house
was situated on what is now West
Avenue connecting Norwalk and
'South Norwalk. Out on the side-
walk stood "two very large time. in
fact so large that strangers often
remarked on the size as they trav-
eled by on the New York and New
Haven turnpike which came into
the road nearly opposite the house.
Out hear the aims stood a. large
horse block built‘ with steps making
it easy for a child to climb to the
top and mount a. horse. On the top
Uncle Aaron Marvin. grandmother's
brother. old and bent. sat hour after
hour watching'thc passars-by. Sev-
eral times a year he would see a cir.
ens come on the pike with its ele-
phants and bright colored wagons.
This was an event in the life of a.
boy. and I suspect Uncle Aaron
just as glad to see it u I was. Uncle
Aaron did some work on the farm.
I often saw him feed the giant
shanghai chickens. It was said that
those chikens could stand on the
ground and cat corn from the top
of a barrel. ‘
Another thing Uncle Aaron used
to do was to grow prize pumpkins
for the fair. and year after year his
pumpkins would take the prize for
size. He did this by choosing the
bait vines thathe had and cutting
off all pumpkins except one which
was of course the best. When the
cared for. back he went to the horse
block.
You now have had a peep at the
old farmhouse which is very close
to. the scene of the first witch story.
A Stone Bewitched
A small house whs situhtcd not
far from the old farm in which lived
a. man and his wife. The man
worked on his own land up the hill
and was often employed by the
neighboring farmers. 'He ,was tall
