Read off Atlas of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, Barnes & Farnham, 1904. Boston Public Library copy, via Digital Commonwealth. No known copyright restrictions.. Names are as the plate sets them, spellings and abbreviations included; reading uncertain in the third column means the letters are on the sheet and were not resolved with confidence. Where a name could not be read at all it was left out rather than guessed.
