 | 004 1950s Robert Cashman MMA article
"Old Cash", the original "Mr. Quincy" arrived at M.M.A in a blaze of glory. He won many friends with his quick humor and the bottle of "handy brandy" he kept in his locker. Things ran pretty smooth for the South Quincy Terror until one night around midnight he started to tear up the quarter-deck and had to be put in his place by Mr.Hirst. This didn't phase our dauntless hero in the least and he soon went on to new and bigger things. For the sake of humor, Uncle Bob organized M.M.A.'s own National Guard Unit and trained them for combat against Sid. We think it proper to mention a little bit concerning cruise time. Many was the night Old Cash could be seen partaking of a little of "this and that" with his friends south of the border. To sum this up, we would like to say that Cash is a true sailor in every meaning of the word and his seamanship ability won him the respect of the officers and his shipmates.

 | 005 1921 Edward L Cashman Bad Fire Scare detail
QUINCY GIVEN BAD FIRE SCARE -- Cashman's Big Storehouse on Furnace Avenue Threatened When His Hay Sheds are Burned. Loss is Estimated at $2,000- A two-alarm fire threatened the Cashman storage houses and big barn off Cross street, near the Granite Branch of the New Haven railroad last night. The fire started in that part of the sheds used for the storage of hay. In the building were 20 tons of hay. A few minutes after the fire was discovered the flames were shooting upwards for 20 feet. The first alarm came from box 432 at 10:45 and 10 minutes later Chief Mead ordered a second alarm sounded. This was done to get pumping engines and more men, for Chief Mead realized that if the fire broke through the hay sheds and got into the next shed beyond there were 20,000 bags of charcoal which would have made a blaring fire. The West Quincy companies were at the first a few minutes after the alarm sounded, but the pressure from the hydrant streams was not powerful enough to cope with the burning flames. One company had come from the central station on the first alarm and the second alarm brought two more companies from that station also Engine 2 from Quincy Point, Auto Combination 2 of Wollaston and Auto Ladder 2 from Wollaston. Within a few minutes after the pumping engines got to work the flames were beaten down and the firemen were able to get inside the shed where the hay was stored. It was almost unbearably hot in there but the firemen carried lines with them and soon had the fire under control, so that all danger of the flames spreading to the adjacent buildings was gone by. The 20 tons of baled hay were pitched out into the barn yard by the firemen. In an adjoining big barn were eight horses but they were gotten out soon after the fire was discovered and at no time were they in danger. Chief Mead and his men did a good piece of work in confining the flames to the building in which it started. The sounding of the second alarm sent hundreds of automobiles in the direction of West Quincy and thousands of people in West Quincy walked to the fire. The buildings were erected several years ago by the late John Cashman. At the present time they are owned by his nephew, Edward Cashman. Mr. Cashman said he thought the damage to the buildings by fire would not go over $1500 or $2000. All of the 20 tons of hay were ruined either by fire, smoke or water. It was stated that the hay was $32 a ton, which would bring the loss on the contents of the shed up $640. After the sounding of the second alarm, the police auto patrol, equipped with pulmotors and search lights was sent to the scene of the fire by Capt, E.H. Bishop, in charge of the police headquarters at the time. Within minutes after the sounding of the second alarm all sorts of wild rumors were being circulated in City square, which caused a big exodus towards West Quincy of autos and street cars. The all-out signal was sounded at 12:20 this morning. (Source detail: Quincy Patriot - Quincy Daily Ledger, 3 Sep 1921)

 | 012 1899 Fire on Bunker Hill
Quincy Patriot - The alarm from Box 49, at 1:32 o'clock Sunday morning, was for a fire in an unoccupied house on Bunker Hill avenue owned by Michael Shea. The house was situated in the woods, some way from the street, and the fire was well under way when the department arrived. The nearest hydrant was over 1000 feet away and as it was impossible to drive a hose wagon anywhere near the fire considerable unavoidable delay was experienced in getting water onto the burning building. The only way it was possible to get water to the building was by pulling the hose off the wagon and then dragging it through the woods to the scene of action. Then the building was thoroughly soaked. The loss was $200. The cause was undoubtedly incendiary.
Sunday night at 8:40 another alarm was sounded from Box 49 and it proved to be for a fire in the same house. At this fire a line of hose was laid from a hydrant on Willard street and nearly 2000 feet was required to reach the building. The fire caused an additional loss of about $50.

 | 013 1899 Chairman Sewer article detail
Chairman Shea of the Sewer Commissioners resents the inference that men in his department were discharged for political reasons, and that men were retained who are not citizens of Quincy. He says, in the first place, none but citizens of Quincy are employed and have not been for several years. In regard to the dropping of men the day after election, he says: The Sewer department are finishing up a connecting link of the sewer on Columbia street, and that about ten days more will be required to complete the job, which will wind up the work for the year and it is unwise to open any more streets. There was likely to be a heavy storm any day and stop work. When asked if this was the case, why it would not be better to keep a large gang of men at work and finish up the job in half the time, than to use a small gang and take ten days to do the job, Mr. Shea said, "The reason is that the soil is wet and it was impossible to work a large gang of men economically, and for that reason some of the men were discharged. It was natural that they should kick. Allowing that Mr. Shea's statements are the true facts of the case, it is rather a queer co-incident that it should have been discovered the day after election that a large force of men could no be worked and that the men discharged are supposed to be those who favored Mr. Hall for Mayor. There was also a wholesale discharge of the employees of the Street department on the Coddington street job and elsewhere, but the Ledger has been unable to find Commissioner Cavanagh at his office.

The ball of this society is always looked forward to as the leading event in Catholic social circles, and last night's affair was a worthy successor to the many brilliant affairs which have been given by St. Francis court. The interior of the hall was decorated with the national colors and the stage was converted into a fern and palm-be-decked bower, from the depths of which an orchestra discoursed entrancing music. From 8 till 9 o'clock a pleasing concert was given by the orchestra and at 9 o'clock the grand march was started. This was led by Chief Ranger William T. Shea and Miss Katherine [sic] Shea. They were followed by many couples, and at the conclusion of the march dancing held full sway till the early hours of the morning. The floor was in charge of William T.

 | 013 1899 William T Shea article
William T. Shea, the chairman of the Board of Sewerage Commissioners, has been a memeber of that board since 1895. THe first board was composed of Paul R. Blackmur, H.T. Whitman and W.T. Shea. The members of the present board are W.T. Shea, Frederick L. Jones, A.F. Schenkelberger and Engineer, E.W. Branch. The work of this commission is one of the most important the city has undertaken and has been prosecuted with skill and economy. A full report of the work and expenditures to January 1, 1899, may be found on page 195 of City Document No. 10, being the annual report of the city officers for the year 1898. Mr. Shea's connection wth this Commission is especially appropriate; his long experience with such work and the management of men being of the great value in the present enterprise. His experience as a contractor and business man began in 1872, as a partner in the firm of William Shea & Son. His father, who was the senior partner, came to this city in the early '50's and by industry and thrift was enabled in 1872 to establish himself in the quarry and granite manufacturing buissness. He died in 1880 but the old firm name, and the nature of the business has of late years been gradually changed. Mr. W.T. Shea, who still carries on the business, has gone more largely into street building, paving, excavating and general contracting, and has built up a large and successful business. He was born in Quincy, March 24, 1857, and was educated at the public schools. He is known among his associates as a whole-souled fellow. His cheerful disposition and lighted-heartedness conveys the impression that he is free from care, but has a serious side, and in a business proposition can tackle a financial question like an expert. He doesn't hanker for political honors, but has had some experience in that line, having been elected to the first City Council, and re-elected the following year, serving on the Committee on Streets, Ways, Bridges and Lights, and on the Committee Ordinances. He is naturally endowed with a goodly share of brains and capacity, and wherever he has been tried, has not been found wanting in these traits, or the qualities which make a man among men.

 | 013 1907 Mayor Shea Promises to Voters detail
To the Voters of Quincy:-- As a candidate for Mayor I believe the public have a right to know my views upon the issues of the present municipal campaign. I believe in a radical change from the present method of conducting our city affairs. I believe no contract should be given as a reward for political services. I believe that a contractor should not be influenced by city officials in the subletting of his contract. I believe that every dollar expended by the city should show a dollar's worth in return. I believe that the qualifications demanded in an applicant for officer should be honesty and ability and a willingness to devote his best energies to the service of the city. I believe that every person seeking employment in the city's service should be prepared to offer honest and efficient service. I believe that the head of each administrative department should be held responsible for the success of that department. I believe that no official should be permitted to build up a political machine. I believe that City Hall offices should not be used for political purposes. I believe in strict enforcement of No-License laws. I believe that the high standard of the Quincy schools should be maintained. I believe that all appointments to office should be made irrespective of race, creed or party affiliations. I was born in Quincy and have lived here all my life. All my business interests are in Quincy. I am paying to the working men of Quincy from $50,000-$60,000 a year. I believe that my experience as a Quincy business man qualifies me to administer the affairs of our city in an efficient and business-like manner. Absolutely, I have made no promise nor an intimation of a promise as to whom I shall, if elected, appoint to office. I have made no trades or political deals to secure votes. William T. Shea, 12 Common Street.

 | 013 1907 Mayor Shea Ward 4 Voter Article Detail
Considerable interest was taken in the slate which the Ward Four voter so kindly arranged for Mayor-elect Shea, which was printed in the Daily Ledger yesterday. Some of the names suggested were entirely new to Mr.Shea, as the Daily Ledger found in an interview last evening, and he thought he would have to revise the list some during the next eight weeks. Undoubtedly the hopes of many were raised by the announcement and some who had no idea of entering the field may consider the possibilities. Certainly some very good selections were made for some of the offices if the gentlemen would accept. It was noticed that only three in the list were reappointments. It is possible the change will not be so sweeping. Will the Commissioner of Public Works be C.F. Knowlton, John Cashman, H.T. Whitman, Fred E. Trooper or someone else?

She was about 79 years of age. . s_ervices will be held for her from – 12 Common. Sautrday morning at 8:15 will be followed by a __ at St. Mary’s. _ 3o’clock. The citizens of Quincy in general sympathize with Mayor Shea in the loss of his mother Mrs Margaret Shea. Mrs Shea has been in poor health for a number of weeks and while it was known that she would not recover everything possible was done to prolong her life. She has been very weak for the past few days and her death has been expected every day. Mrs Shea was the widow of William Shea who came to Quincy in the early 50’s and built up a substantialgranite business. He died in 1889 and since that time his business has been carried on under the firm name of W. Shea & son. Her husband was a veteran of the Crimean war and took part in that famous battle known as the charge at Balklava as a member of the immortalized Light Brigade that went into battle against the Russinans with 607 men and by Queen Victoria with the Victorian Cross, the highest badge of honor which the British Empire bestowes upon it’s soliders. It was shortly after this battle that he came to Quincy. Mrs Shea was justly proud of her children, and it was for her a happy moment when she sat in the gallery at City Hall three years ago and saw her son inaurated as Mayor of the City of Quincy. Yet she was no more proud of her children than they were of her, for her comfort and pleasure has always been uppermost in their minds. She leaves six children, two sons, and four daughters. They are Hon. W.T. Shea, Mayor of Quincy; Michael E. Shea, foremean of the Street department of the city; Miss Katherine E. Shea, who lived at home with her mother and brother ; Mrs. Mary, wife of Michael Lyons; Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of A.A. Murphy, both of Quincy, and Mrs. Anne, widow of John V. Scollard late of Braintree."

 | 013 1910 William T Shea Manhunt article
Patriot - Granite Manufacturer Kills Two and Wounds 3 Others - Man Hunt Follows Unexplained Frenzy of Prominent Citizen of Quincy, Mass (By Associated Press to the Patriot) Quincy Mass, July 29 - After killing two persons and wounding three others at whom he shot in a unexplained frenzy Louis Restelli, a granite contractor, made his escape late today and tonight was at large. His mother, Mrs. Rose Restelli, 65 years old, and Henry E. Hardwick, aged 56 years, one of the most prominent granite manufacturers in this city, from whom Restelli rented his place of business, are dead. Gasper Restelli, 40 years, brother of Louis, has three bullet wounds in his body and is not expected to live. Benjamin Bishop, also a granite manufacturer, is suffering from two bullet wounds, one in the hand and another in the thigh, and C. Theodore Hardwick, brother of the dead man, and his partner in business, will be crippled for life by a shattered knee pan, the result of one of Restelli's shots. The reason for Restelli's sudden running amuck [sic] was not evident tonight, but it is suggested that money troubles may have caused him to become demented. Tonight he was the object of a man hunt headed by Mayor William T. Shea and participated in by militiamen, policemen, firemen and citizens. Restelli called today at his mothers home in South Quincy, to ask her for a loan which he had sought for several days. Her body was found later in the house, pierced by several bullets. Heading for his brother's place of business Restelli met Bishop, had some words with him and after a struggle fired several shots, two of which took effect. Restelli next went to his brother Gaspar's granite manufacturing establishment, and left him lying on the floor of his office, probably fatally wounded. Taking possession of a horse and buggy Louis drove at an ordinary pace to the office of the Hardwick Company and then fled to the open country.

Headed by a platoon of police under Chief Frank E. Burrel and Captain Daniel R. McKay, the long line travelled [sic] over Common street to Copeland to Crescent to the church entrance. There the escort divided and the casket and its remains were carried between the lines. Rev. Fr. Thomas R. McCoy, pastor or St. Mary's church, was celebrant of the mass. Rev. Fr. Henry T. Grady formerly pastor, now of St. Joseph's church of Somerville, was deacon, and Rev. Fr. John P. Cuffe pastor of the Sacred Heart church of Atlantic, was sub deacon. Rev. Fr. William J.

An air of sadness pervaded the home of ex-Mayor Shea and the church and even after the remains has been interred in the family lot in West Quincy beside his parents, for whom his love and affections never waned, hundreds stood about the grave expressing their deep respect and eloquent love for their genial friend and comrade, "Bill Shea." There was no pronounced eulogy but the tributes of friends, many from early childhood were affecting. Even those friends of his mature years stood by as earth gradually covered the casket and sorrowfully bowed their heads with those who survive him. But a short distance from the grave stood Dennis Meuse, one of the few remaining Indians of the Mic Mac tribe who became a registered citizen so that he could cast his vote for "Bill Shea" for mayor, and surrounding him were little children who gazed with wondering eyes on the large framed weeping American Indian who was not as devoid of sentiment as the suposed [sic.] Many and handsome were the florid tributes and none were more significant than the representation of the Mayor's chair from the Hebrews of the city. The pieces were carried from the house to the grave in an open barouche. Among the remembrances were: Among the floral tributes were: St. Mary's C.T.A. & M.R. Society, - standing cross.

The Boston Journal -- William T. Shea Dies in Quincy -- Was Mayor of the City for Four Years in Succession -- Quincy, Dec 22 -- William T. Shea, for four consecutive years mayor of Quincy, died earlier today at his home, after an illness of three weeks. Former Mayor Shea was one of the most progressive and aggressive executives the city ever had. Two years ago he refused to run again, explaining that his business required his attention and that his health was poor. Mr. Shea was the son of William Shea, a veteran of the Crimean War, whose heroism won him the Victoria Cross. He was born in Quincy in 1857, was educated in the public schools here, and entered the granite business with his father. He is survived by four sisters, Katherine Shea, Mrs. M.E. Lyons, Mrs. Anna Scollard and Mrs. Arthur Murphy, and by one brother, Michael Shea. Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock with a solemn high mass of requiem at St. Mary's Church.

Springfield Daily News -- Quincy - Dec 22. -- William T. Shea, four times mayor of Quincy, died today after a protracted illness. An attack of indigestion brought the former mayor to his bed two months ago. Heart trouble is said to have been the immediate cause of his death. Shea was born in Quincy, March 24, 1857. His father, William Shea, was a member of the famous Light Brigade, "the gallant 600" immortalized by Tennyson. Shea served as councilman before becoming mayor. He held the office of mayor for four years, longer than any Democrat in the history of the city, but pleaded business and refused to run again two years ago. The granite quarrying and contracting business, started by his father, had grown to such an extent and his health was breaking, causing him to refuse to be a candidate for Congress in 1912. On learning of Shea's death, Mayor Stone ordered the flags on the City Hall and others buildings at half mast today.

The Burlington Press - Court Reconvenes - Case of J.S. Hefflon vs. J.E. Cashman, for Rent, Taken Up. When Chittenden county court reconvened in this city Monday afternoon the case of John S. Hefflon vs. James E. Cashman, to be tried by jury, was taken up. J.J. Enright and M.G. Leary appear for Mr. Hefflon, and Theodore E. Hopkins is Mr. Cashman's attorney. The case is one of contract, the plaintiff claiming rent for a storage house on a spur of the Rutland railroad. The members of the jury drawn to hear the case are Xiste Blanchette of South Burlington, Octave Cormla of Colchester, James M. Cassidy of Hinesburg, H.H. Hayden of Bolton, L.E. Huntley of Essex, A.T. Mongeon of Colchester, Albert Marcotte of Colchester, A.G. Mott of Burlington, H.J. Metcalf of Underhill, G.V. Roberts of Essex, J.H. Safford of Jericho and M.W.Wells of Huntington. Witnesses called by the plaintiff Monday were the defendant, who testified as to taking over the building used by him for storage purposes. According to book accounts, Mr. Cashman testified that he took the place over about February 1, 1911, and had it up to March 1, 1913, about twenty-two months. It appeared in the testimony that the Texas Oil company had used the building, it being the claim of the plaintiff that the building was sublet to them by the defendant for $15 per month. Mr. Cashman testified that the Texas company did owe him four months rent at $14 per month. On cross-examination Mr. Cashman testified that the building was little better than a shed, having the ground for a floor and being of four walls constructed of rough boards with two openings. He testified that he ex-braced the building and built it a platform, the platform lessening the work of unloading and re-loading containers of gasoline. Mr. Cashman claims the he owes 22 months rent at three dollars per month, according to a verbal contract. Mr. Hefflon, when placed upon the stand, claimed that there was no agreement as to the price which should be paid for the building. After Cashman had vacated Hefflon called upon him for the rent and was told that the place was no good and that he did not suppose he would have to pay rent for it. G.B. Arnold was called. Arnold does a trucking business and claimed to have rented storehouses for other people. He claimed to know the value of the rent of the storehouse, though he testified that he had never been in it and could not remember what kind of a building it was. He stated that it was worth during the time in question from fifteen to eighteen dollars per month. On cross-examination he testified that he had not rented any storehouses during the time in question.

QUINCY PATRIOT LEDGER-James E. Cashman, bridge builder, has been signally honored for spanning the raging Winooski river between Burlington, Vt., and Winooski, the only means of direct travel between Burlington and Montreal. This unheralded engineering plan is all the more wonderful when one stops to consider that work on the bridge started last March and the bridge was dedicated last week. Added to this fact there remains some difficulties that were overcome when the floods hampered and for a time stopped construction on the bridge. In one instance a huge caisson was washed away by flood. Mr. Cashman is a former resident of Quincy having been born and educated in this city. He is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Cashman, who were well known by the older folk in the West Quincy district. At the dedication exercises Gov. Weeks of Vermont who made the dedication address paid a high compliment to Mr. Cashman. The bridge builder although confronted with three floods pushed the work ahead with such rapidity to astound all critics who prophesied that the bridge would not be completed within a month of the time set by Mr. Cashman. Unfavorable transportation conditions added to the difficulties as certain important building materials were often delayed for weeks. But for this the bridge would have been opened several weeks earlier. This is not Mr. Cashman's only contribution to the reconstruction in Vermont, however, as he has undertaken to build 11 bridges, the last of which will be completed about the first of November. Mr. Cashman is modest about his achievements and has the highest words of praise for the Detachment of the 1st Engineers of the famous first Division, U.S.A, stationed at Fort Dupont, Delaware, who were pushed to the banks of the Winooski last fall when the floods devastated the district. But for these men there would have been no travel across the river during the winter and spring months. While the dedication of the new bridge was taking place the clang of hammers could be heard as the old pontoon bridge was slowly being removed. The best tribute to the work of the Engineers may be obtained from statistics when it is learned that over a million automobiles and a like number of pedestrians crossed the river on the pontoon bridge in spite of the fact that the river was a raging torrent with rapid rise and fall, ice jams, and severe winter weather.

 | 019 1890 Fire On Copeland Property
Quincy Patriot - The alarm from Box 46 at 12:30 Wednesday morning was for a fire discovered in the building formerly occupied as a harness shop and owned by John Cashman, situated on Copeland street directly opposite Hose 3 house. The blaze was seen by a lady living next house who notified her son and he gave the alarm. The fire department responded very promptly but their services were not required. The loss was very small, being less than $10. If it had not been seen so quickly there would probably have been a larger fire as the building is in close proximity to Lacey's machine shop and it would have been hard work to save the latter. So many fires have occurred lately that people are beginning to feel nervous and it would be a good idea to appoint a night watchman to patrol Copeland street. This building remains and it is nothing more than bait for some evil-minded person to set a match to it and probably destroy a large amount of valuable property.

 | 019 1894 John Cashman 70 Acres in Quincy detail
Sunday Boston Herald - 15 Jul 1894 - Seventy Acres in Quincy - The largest real estate deal which has been consummated in Quincy for a long time has just been made. A syndicate of Quincy capitalists, represented by John Cashman, has purchased of Hon. John Quincy Adams 70 acres of land on the north easterly section of his extensive property at Mt. Wollaston. The price paid for this large tract was $50,000. The property is located on the easterly side of Sea street, the main thoroughfare between Quincy Centre and Manet Beach, and extends from Breakneck hill on Sea street to Palmer street, and includes the territory on both sides of the latter street nearly to German-town and is locally known as Quincy woods. The tract includes upland, meadow and woodland. It is rumored that a part or a whole of the tract will be laid out for a Catholic cemetery, although this rumor lacks conformation.
