Sadly, on Independence Day in 1921, eighteen-year-old Nelson Foster drowned on Pearl Street. His death certificate does not list the body of water where he died but it says he was "beyond his depth".
Dunn Pond, located at the State Park on Pearl Street, drains into a stream called Foster Brook. Was it named after the Fosters who resided on their farm in the area of Pearl and Chapel Streets? Or maybe in honor of Nelson after his passing? Or for his father who died a year prior?
