�Linden Street is situated in South Salem, a street almost parallel to Lafayette. Most of this land, known back
then as South Fields, was a part of the Derby estate, owned by Ezekiel Hersy Derby, a gentleman farmer, son of
Elias Hasket Derby, famous Salem ship merchant. In 1848, Andrew C. Sturtevant purchased land (Lot #6) from
Ezekiel Hersy Derby, making room for his soon-to-be home at 9 Linden Street. This was one of the first home’s to be
built on this street. 170 years later, it is still a family home, but now with the title “oldest home in South Fields.”
The Sturtevant Family (Builder of the home - 1851-1853)
Andrew C. Sturtevant (1809-1878) was born around 1809 in Bowdoinham, Maine to John and
Ruth Sturtevant of Wareham and Middleton, Massachusetts, respectively. He was a carpenter for most of
his life, working on various projects from building houses to working on wharfs, working at Burley &
Briggs’s wharf in Salem in the 1850s.2 Andrew married Mary E. Horton (1814-1890) of Marblehead on
March 14, 1833.3 Mary was born to Samuel Horton around 1814 in Marblehead. There is no record of
who her mother was. For work, Mary was a housekeeper. The couple never had children. Prior to living
on Linden Street, the couple lived with Mary’s sister, Emma Horton.4
After moving from Linden Street, the Sturtevant’s moved around Massachusetts to many towns,
including Foxborough, Rockport, Fitchburg, and Newburyport. Andrew died October 20, 1878 at the age
of 69 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He died from chronic bronchitis. Mary died November 25, 1890 from
consumption at the age of 76. She died in Lynnfield, Massachusetts.
The Merritt Family (1872-1897)
David Merritt Jr. (1821-1916) was born on June 28, 1821 to David Merritt (1775-1862) and Anne
(Ashby) Merritt (1784-1883). He worked as a freight merchant. David married Lucy E. Balch (1820-1867)
on June 25, 1844.5 Lucy was born to Daniel and Elizabeth (Gunnison) Balch in Newburyport on
November 14, 1820.

Salem City Directory, 1853
Holbrook Research Institute (Jay and Delene Holbrook)
United States Federal Census, 1850
Massachusetts, U.S., Compiled Marriages, 1633-1850
�David and Lucy had only one child together: Elizabeth Balch (Merritt) Hunting (1851-1926) on
March 29, 1851. She married Alfred Arnold Hunting (1853-?) and they had one son, who she also named
David Merritt Hunting (1881-?). Elizabeth passed away on September 24, 1926.6 She is buried in
Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem alongside her parents.
Lucy passed away first on April 16, 1867. Later on in life, during the first decade of the 1900s,
David Merritt summered in Marblehead in the Clifton Heights area but maintained year round residency at
24 Dearborn Street. David Merritt died at the age of 95 by suicide (“shot himself in the head”) in his home
on Dearborn Street on March 3, 1916. He had not been well for a while and was deteriorating quickly.7
Both Lucy and David are buried next to their daughter in Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem.
It seems as if David bought the home in 1872 but only lived there a short while, if ever. Most of
the residents were family members of his. Directories and the U.S. Census has him listed as living on
Mason Street with his sister in law, Sarah Balch.
Mary M. (Merritt) Burton and Emily Merritt (1872-1897)
Mary and Emily were both sisters of David Merritt.
Mary (Merritt) Burton (1826-1920) was born on February 16, 1826. She married Warren Burton
on September 18, 1845.8 Warren Burton was a Reverend in Boston.9 Mary was widowed sometime
before 1879 when she began living on Linden Street. She died on December 12,1920 at the age of 94.
Emily Merritt (1812-1897) was born on May 23, 1812 in Marblehead. She never married and is
listed as having no occupation. Emily died on August 8, 1897 at the age of 85 from paralysis. 10
Right around this time is when we see more than one family living in the home at the same time.
It is most likely that around 1900 is when the home was converted into a two-family home.This is also
when Aroline C. Gove purchased the property and used the home as her servants and workers living
space. There were many people who were in and out of the home within a year or two.

�The Allen Family (1900-1917)
Charles Frederic Allen (1868-1929) was born to Captain Charles H. Allen (1830-1910) 11 and
Margaret E. (McKenzie) Allen (1833-?) on April 8, 1868. He had three sisters: Lillian, Mary, and Margaret.
Charles was a banker. He worked for State Street Trust Company in Boston for most of his life.
Charles married Sarah F. Goodhue (1869-1942) on September 15,1898.12 Sarah was born June
9, 1869 to Samuel V. and Sarah E. (Clough) Goodhue. Sarah had a brother and a sister: Samuel Jr. and
Alice.
The couple had three children: Charles F. Allen Jr. (1899-1988), Sarah E. Allen (1903-?), and
William Allen (1915-1989). After leaving Linden Street in 1917, the family moved to 3 Clifton Ave in Salem
where they resided until Charles died on December 1, 1929 at the age of 61. His wife Sarah died about
12 years later on July 19, 1942 at the age of 73.13 Both are buried in Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem.
The Linden Street home had some turnover in the 1920s, having four different families in and out.
The next family to live there for a longer stretch of time (1926-1937) was the Perkins family.
The Perkins Family (1926-1937)
William Bailey Perkins Jr. (1872-?) was born to William B. Perkins Sr. and Margaret (Homan)
Perkins on September 6, 1872 in Topsfield. His father was a shoemaker.14
William married Helen E. Robinson of Boston on June 11, 1905.15 This was Helen’s second
marriage after divorcing her first husband. Helen was born to James Lynn Robinson and Margaret (Wood)
Robinson around 1876. There is very little information on Helen.
At the time of their marriage, William was a milkman in Topsfield and Helen stayed at home.
There is not much information to be found on their lives or deaths.

�The Pitkin Family (1930-1939)
Arthur Leslie Pitkin (1880-1964) was born in Hartford, Vermont on July 21, 1880 to Edmond
Alonzo Pitkin (1849-?) and Abbie Louise (Bliss) Pitkin (1852-?). Before moving to Linden Street, Arthur
lived in Plymouth, MA with his family. He was a civil engineer all of his life. Arthur married Grace A.
Blaisdell on April 25, 1902 in Hartford, Vermont. 16
Grace Adell Blaisdell (1885-1947) was born in Vermont on November 2, 1885 to Frederick F.
Blaisdell (1881-?) and Christia A. Fisher (1864-?). 17 The couple had a boy, Roscoe Conklin Blaisdell in
1882 but he passed away at the age of 5 in 1887. This was Grace’s only brother.18
Arthur and Grace had two daughters: Beatrice G. Pitkin (1904-1967) and Virginia A. Pitkin
(1910-1969). Beatrice was married by the time the family moved to Salem in 1930. She remained in
Plymouth with her husband, Charles S. Sturtevant.1920 Virginia remained with her father most of her life,
having never married. She worked as a draftsmans, drafting plans for the Fire and Accident Insurance
Company.21
Grace died September 27, 1947 at the age of 62. Arthur went on to remarry Julia H. Mary Howe
(1881-1972) on July 18, 1957, a widow from New Hampshire.22 Arthur died 7 years later on September
27, 1964, at the age of 84, in Lebanon, NH. He is buried at the Hartford Cemetery in Vermont next to his
first wife. Julia is buried in Etna Cemetery in Hanover, NH, most likely with her first husband.
The Chretien Family (1949-1990s)
Joseph Benoit Gerard Leo Chretien (went by Leo) (1919-1998) was born either March 26, 191923

�Eugene Chretien (1884-1967) and Marie Delia (Dubois) Chretien (1887-1929). His parents had
immigrated to the United States from Canada only eight years prior in 1912. Leo had nine siblings.25
Leo was in the Army before being honorably discharged on June 29, 1945. 26 His job was Field
Artillery.
Leo married Mary (Marie) P. (maiden name not found) in 1945. This is all the information that
could be found regarding Marie. Before moving to Linden Street, the couple had lived on Prince Street
and Roslyn Street. The couple had at least two daughters: Christina Marie (Chretie) Pierro (1946-2019),
born September 1946 and Leona (Chretien) Morrow (b. 1947).
Though this cannot be confirmed, it seems that Leo died on August 14, 1998. There is a Leo G.
Chretien buried at Greenlawn Cemetery in Salem. His daughter, Christina, is also buried in Greenlawn
Cemetery, having passed away September 22, 2019.
The Dupuis Family (1949-2008)
Lionel A. Dupuis (1923-2022) was born to Albert and Lucia (Lucy) (Martin) Dupuis in Three
Rivers, Quebec, Canada on October 4, 1923. A year later, the family immigrated to the United States.
Lionel’s father, Albert, had most likely passed away by then, as only Lucy and her children came. 27 Lionel
had three siblings. The family moved to Palmer Street in The Point neighborhood in Salem.
Lionel spent much of his life working for Belleau Metal Works and later on, Little Harbor Boat Yard
in Marblehead.28 Lionel married Ida (Locchi) Dupuis (1929-2006) in Salem in 1949. Ida was born in 1929
to Girolamo and Maria (Boiardi) Locchi of Boston’s North End neighborhood. She grew up in Everett.
The couple has two sons: Lionel M. Dupuis and Daniel R. Dupuis. Because they are still living,
out of respect, life information will not be reported.
