'Turnback Tuesday' features state senator's home in Derby
Turnback Tuesday looks at the home of state Sen. Thomas Burlock and his wife, Caroline, located on the corner of 5th and Anson Streets, Derby.
Burlock was born in New York in 1804 and was educated at Yale. He married Caroline after completing his education and worked in New York as a grain distiller. After retiring, they moved to Shelton where Burlock took a lively interest in political issues.
Moving to Derby, he became interested in manufacturing and was a Derby legislator from 1848-49. He passed in 1865.
The woman in the photo is believed to be Caroline Burlock.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
Recuperation journey: Late afternoon
Recuperation journey: Solace
Recently a friend gave me a wonderful book filled with inspirational stories and quotes to help anyone going through the grieving process. The book features one positive affirmation a day for a year.
Regular readers will recall that my dear husband Ralph passed away in December.
I was moved by what I read on Saturday's page about the role of familiar objects.
Instead of getting upset and sad looking at his possessions - clothing, books, photographs, magazines, and more - the affirmation urged me to take comfort in the familiar objects in the house.
That's a new way of looking at my surroundings and one I'm going to try to achieve.
