Marriage Proposal on Mount Tom Stuns Northampton Lady
A well dressed man on Mount Tom offered marriage to a lady in a bold, money backed proposal. He boasted a good house and wealth, but the lady, versed in society and dignity, refused the awkward advance and walked away, leaving the suitor to his grave stones alone. The incident, dated July 14, 1845, highlights a curious local anecdote from Northampton.
