Spring Pond named from Mineral Spring, Mineral Pond, once known as the little lake of Lynnmere,[1] rests in the corners of three cities of Lynn, Peabody once Danvers, and Salem, Massachusetts. In the center of these townships, as quoted "is a beautiful pond".[2] It is a secluded lake known to the nearby residents of these three cities and the visitors who come for retreat to enjoy the camps, trails and natural environment of the woods. As stated: "It is in fact one of the most picturesque and romantic lakelets in Massachusetts."[3] Stretching from Spring Pond to Marblerough Road, in Salem, the pond and woods of nature form a little world of beauty all by itself. On the edge of Spring Pond was once the home of the Fay Farm, an English manor estate in New England. The mansion of Fay Farm was once a famous watering place hotel in 1810, where the springs of these areas were once recognized as possessing valuable medicinal qualities. People visited the springs by Spring Pond to restore health, and worship the goddess Hygeia (Gr. word for Health) and drink from the rusty iron-rich water that trickled from the foot of a bank. Later, some traveled there solely to worship at the shrines of Bacchus and Venus. The hotel was then transformed into a private residence when "Classical" worship fell. The waters of Spring Pond are conveyed from living springs which lay below Spring pond and its surrounding areas, through Danvers, Lynn and Salem.[4] Spring Pond is one of the Massachusetts Great Ponds.[5][6]

Great Impressions made on History

  • One of the earliest significant impressions made in history was in the day of the Third Plantation of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1700, an early settler was drawn to the hillsides by Spring Pond, in the name of Dr. John Casper Richter Von Crowninshield (Johannes Kaspar Richter Von Kronenscheldt, as first spelled), who was among one of the first families to settle in this country and the first in the country to descend the respectable (Boston Brahmin) Crowninshield Family of Boston whose later generations became so prominent in Massachusetts affairs, cradled by Spring Pond. Among the heirs of the family country estate are: George Crowninshield, who founded Crowninshield & Sons shipping business with his five sons, where in Salem the family built the Crowninshield’s Wharf. Benjamin Williams Crowninshield, served as United States Secretary of the Navy, Representative of the United States Congress, member of the Massachusetts State Senate, in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and became one of the first directors of the Merchant's Bank of Salem creating the East India Trade of Salem; The USS Crowninshield Naval Destroyer was named in his honor. George Crowninshield Jr., built and sailed the yacht Cleopatra’s Barge. Among the notable from the Crowninshield Family line was Louise E. du Pont Crowninshield, wife of Francis Boardman Crowninshield, who is known as one of America's first major historical preservationists and a founding member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. [7][8]
  • A significant impression made in history was in 1847 to 1865, when one of the country’s wealthiest, an English-American by the name of Richard Sullivan Fay, Esq. was drawn to occupy the 500-acre (2.0 km2) estate on the hillsides surrounding legendary Spring Pond, foresting a paradise with a great variety of rare and exotic trees and shrubs of nature’s beauty imported from all parts of the world, to which many of these species arrived here first in the United States. Among those species first seen here in the country is the American Tulip. Many of Fays trees and shrubs escaped the ax from previous developments and have off-spring to produce the enchanting forest surrounding Spring Pond. In 1862, near the beginning of the Civil War, Fay commissioned an army at his own expense. Officers and members of the 38th regiment of Massachusetts named the company in his honor as the “Fay Light Guard”. The Fay Light Guard was attached to the 39th Massachusetts Regiment and fought at Port Hudson, Cane River, Mansion Plains, Winchester, Fisher’s Hill and Cedar Creek. (Reference see Section: Notable and historic residents, visitors and heritage)
  • Another impression made in history was in 1669 and again in 1793, when the colonial divisions between townships was so drawn, using the spring at Spring Pond as the starting bench mark to create the city boundaries we have today, so that Spring Pond would ‘slake the thirst’ of the people of Danvers (now Peabody), Lynn and Salem. In 1669, the spring was used to establish the boundary between Lynn and Salem, then in 1793 when Salem divided into another township, the borders were redefined based on the spring. The stone bench mark remains in the water of Spring Pond engraved with the initials of each township signifying on each face: L (for Lynn), P (for Peabody) and S (for Salem).[9]

History, ownership and divisions

c.1676, "Lo" an American Indian who died near the pond, near the current day border of the Lynn/Salem line, at the slaying by one John "Flyntre", was buried where he fell, and said that his body and bones nourished the beautiful shrubs and trees of the woods by Spring Pond.[10]

Prior to 1704, early Salem occupation of the place included the owners of Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (John Clifford) Allen of Salem, as recorded owners of the land near Lynn Mineral Spring Pond.[7]

c.1704, Dr. John Casper Richter Von Crowninshield, a German physician, bought the land from Elizabeth Allen, wife of Jacob Allen of Salem. The Crowninshield Family occupancy estate was 500 acres (2.0 km2) partly in Salem, partly in Lynn.[7][8]

c.1793, Spring Pond was divided by three cities, so that the Spring would slake the thirst of the People of Peabody (once Danvers), Salem and Lynn (once Saugus). For it was at this point the Spring became the bound mark, where the historic colonial division line of township began. The boundaries of this line were coveted by both Salem and Lynn, in which the dividing line left the valuable and arable land on one side of the town boundary, and separated the attached services of the Mansion House and buildings in Lynn.[11]

1810, Twin Springs Hotel, later named Mineral Spring Hotel (later becoming the Crowninshield Estate and then the Fay Estate Mansion of Lynn) was erected as a water place hotel, built near a ferruginous spring. It's waters were once recognized as possessing valuable medicinal qualities. Lodgers and Patients traveled from a far and near to drink from the rusty iron rich water. In some years, people went there to worship the goddess Hygeia, to restore their health. This "Classical Worship" damaged the reputation of the Hotel and it was soon later transformed into the private summer residence of Richard Sullivan Fay, Esq.[8][12]

1847-1865, Richard Sullivan Fay, Esq., one of Lynn's noblest men, eminent agriculturist, merchant and manufacturer, occupied the land, changing the use of Mineral Spring Hotel to a mansion. The Fay Estate was 500 acres (2.0 km2) located partly in Lynn, partly in present day Salem.[7][8] Fay imported several rare trees and plants from all parts of the world, and filled the empty meadows of the Fay Estate. People once toured the arboretum estate to admire the foliage. Signs of historic lore still remain throughout these lands today, although most of the rare trees where cut by a lumber company in 1910 after the family ownership. It is also believed the first American Tulips in the United States were found on the Estate.[13]

Quotes of Spring Pond Sanctuary, by famous writers

  • "The Lynn Mineral Spring is a place of agreeable resort at all seasons of the year. It is a highly picturesque and romantic spot, by the side of an extensive pond, or lake, surrounded by hills and wild woodlands. The first white man who selected this delightful retreat for his residence, was Caspar Van Crawninshield, Esq., a gentleman from Germany, ancestor of the respectable family, of Crowninshields, of Boston. He built a cottage here about the year 1690, and several of the old apple-trees, planted by him, are still standing in the garden. A neat and commodious hotel is open here for the accommodation of boarders and visitors, kept by Mr. Otis King."[14] ~ by Alonzo Lewis, famous Historian, Poet, Writer, Teacher, Reporter, Surveyor.
  • "I never witnessed any growth that awakened my admiration more. Not withstanding the injuries sustained by fires, and other wanton encroachments, the whole region about the beautiful sheet of water long known as Spring Pond, whose waters supply the city of Salem with elixer of life, is made beautiful by their verdure"[15] ~ by Samuel W. Cole, writer, historian, educator[16]
  • "In the middle of township is a beautiful pond, named Spring Pond.", Quotation found in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society for the year 1799[17]
  • "'The situation is delightful. The little lake, which has received the pretty name of Lynnmere, nestles so cosily and smiles so brightly between the thickly wooded hills that it might also be imagined there had been a compact that is should be shielded from the wild winds that would agitate its bosom, in return for the refreshing exhalations it might send up to renovate the drooping foliage. Upon the western bank, which rises gracefully to a considerable height, was erected, in 1810, the edifice long known as Lynn Mineral Spring Hotel. It was a favorite summer resort; and no inland retreat could be more charming.'" Quotation found in The Register of the Lynn Historical Society, Volumes 16-18[18]
  • "The trees were assisted to grow by Mr. Fay in accordance with the divine law, Washington Irving would have said as he did of his transatlantic friend...“He who plants an oak, looks forward to future ages, and plants for prosperity. Nothing can be less selfish than this. He cannot expect to sit in its shade, nor enjoy its shelter; but he exults in the idea that the acorn which he has buried in the earth grow up into a lofty pile, and shall keep on flourishing and increasing and benefiting mankind, long after he shall have ceased to tread his paternal fields.”" Quotation found in The Register of the Lynn Historical Society, Volumes 15-16[19]

Diaries of Spring Pond, by Increase Mather

In this publication, Cotton Mather shares excerpts from the diary of his father Increase Mather, relating the recovery of his illness to the healing waters of Mineral Spring Pond.

Quotes from the publication are as follows:

In the Spring of 1670, he returned unto his Beloved Pulpit: And made his first Sermon on those words: PSal XCIV.12. Blessed is the Man thou Chastenest, O Lord, and teachest out of thy Law. But being still under feeble circumstances, and having a strong impression on his mind, that the drinking of the mineral waters might be of use to him, he took a lodging at Lyn, where he might repair every morning, to a spring there, which was then famous through the country. I will transcribe a passage of two from his diary, which he wrote in the time of his being there.

One is this. "At the Waters, retiring myself under the Trees, I poured out my Soul before the Lord, and then met with Him. I did humbly and believingly (through the Lord's Grace towards me) betake myself unto God, and unto Jesus Christ, for the Healing of my Bodily Distempers. I Believed, Because, though Sin had brought these Distempers on me, yet God had accepted the Sacrifice, which Christ has offered for my Sin. Because also God had formerly heard my Prayers. And because Christ has Redeemed my Body as well as my Soul. Christ intends to bestow Eternal Glory on My Body as well as on my Soul: And therefore He will not deny unto me so small a matter as Bodily Health, which is nothing in comparison of Eternal Glory. Finally, Because I desire Health for the Lord's Sake, and not for my own; even that I may do Service for Him. After Prayer, I went away Inwardly Rejoicing, because I have prevailed! I have Prevailed for Mercy!"

Another is this. "At the Waters. There again the Lord enabled me with Tears, and Perswasion of a Gracious Answer to pour out my Desires before Him for both Bodily and Spiritual Healing to be vouchsafed unto me My dear God in Jesus Christ, will certainly accept of some Service from me: Blessed be His Glorius name forever and ever: Amen! Amen! "It was not long before the Lost Jewel was restored onto me. Nevertheless, in the way to it, he met with many grievous Pangs of Overwhelming Melancholy: of which he also says, 'I found the Prayer of Faith to be the best Remedy against it."

But of this also, I will from his diary, only note a couple of passages.

One is this; "As I was returning home from Lyn, at the end of the Town, a poor Godly Woman (whose name is Mansfield) desired those that Rode with me to go forward, for she must needs speak with me. When I stop'd, O Syr, (said she, with much affection, and many Tears) I am troubled at my condition. I am afraid, that I grieve the Good Spirit of God, by not being so cheerful as I ought to be. I am Dejected, and my Soul is Disquieted; And when I meet with afflictions, I lay them too much to Heart; and I doubt, & herein offend, so Gracious a Father, as God has been unto me; a God who has done much for me, and sometimes manifested Himself unto me. I was astonished to hear her speak, and see her come thus to me for some Relief in such Temptation. I concluded that this poor Woman (who little thought so herself) was a Messenger sent from God unto me; For she spoke to my very condition, as if He that knows all things had put Words into her Mouth. Oh! Let the Great Physician of Souls (said I then) Look upon me, and let Him Heal me, and give me Power of Grace to be more than a Conqueror over my Special Infirmities."
