• History: Aug 1867, Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts; Some time in August, 1867, Mrs. M. A. McKim (a former resident of Warwick), Mrs. E. C. Sibley, and Miss Sarah Ball, circulated a subscription-paper for the purpose of purchasing the blacksmith-shop lot, north of Mrs. McKim's new house in Warwick Village, and Mr. Jones's lot, north of his boot-shop, to be improved and ornamented for a public park. On said subscription-paper are to be found the names of our citizens to the amount of $325, for the purpose of purchasing said pieces of land. After said facts had become known, Mr. Jones generously presented his lot, and gave a deed thereof to the town ; and the blacksmith lot was purchased of A. S. Atherton, Mrs. McKim being the original owner. They each gave $25 for the above object. The proprietors, or rather the contributors, met at the hotel, and voted to choose a committee of three persons from their number to take charge of the funds contributed, and finish off and beautify said grounds in a suitable manner for a public park. Voted and chose Hervey Barber, Calvin W. Delva, and Edward F. Mayo, said committee, who circulated another paper for subscriptions for the above purpose ; and they obtained the promise on the same of the sum of $127.50, to be paid in money, labor, and materials, as specified on said paper, to be expended under the supervision of the committee, for the purpose of levelling, fencing, the setting of trees, and otherwise ornamenting said park. The committee soon commenced their work ; and after some delays, from one cause and another, the more prominent one being the want of funds, and the county commissioners having laid a road in such a way as to necessitate the selectmen to take a part of the proprietors' lands for the continuance and extension of said road, the lot, being fenced and nearly finished, was presented to the town, and accepted, as above stated, and a deed of warranty given by Messrs. Jones and Atherton, on condition that the town ever after keep the same in good order, and continue it as a public park.

In 1885, Lucy was visiting her niece, Louise, and the conversation got around to the Delvee property, which would soon have to be sold to settle the estate of Calvin Delvee. They thought that the families of Calvin and Peter should get together one more time. Soon they decided to hold a reunion of all of the available descendants of the first Peter. The first reunion was held on a Wednesday, 2 June 1886, and was attended by 126 people. It was such a success that it was decided to meet each year. By the time of the second reunion, the farm had been sold to William Shepardson. The Delvey Grove was purchased from Mr. Shepardson for $60.00.

Notes:

Married:
Lucy and Calvin were joined in marriage at Warwick by the Rev. Preserved Smith.
