ORCHARD GROVE. This farm was originally divided into five farms and has four sets of buildings. The first farm, purchased by Mr. Isaac P. Hazard, contained thirty-two acres, bought of J. R. Howland in 1872. In 1886 he purchased a farm of sixty-nine acres of Isaac Meekeel, and through his executors and heirs of George Meekeel. In 1891 he purchased two pieces of land, one of forty-one and one-half acres, of John C. Peckham, and one of twenty acres of Mary S. Peckham. In 1894 another purchase of thirty-six acres was made of J.
