�167 FEDERAL STREET
Federal street was laid across private land about 1769. It was
called the new street in 1770; new street laid out near the
North river, 1779; a town way, 1782; and Federal street, 1794.
(Essex Antiquarian, Vol. 7, pg. 67)
As shown in the chain of title, this land was owned by Henry
Tuttle prior to Ezra Woodbury's purchase in May of 1878. Mr.
Tuttle lived at 165 Federal and had a small shop on the spot
where this house stands. Mr. Woodbury removed this shop and
obtained a building permit on August 5, 1878:
Ezra woobury - resident at 130 Bridge st. - to build at 167
Federal St. a wooden dwelling house 14' X 27' - two story with a pitched roof.
A summary of Ezra Woodbury's life was published in the Salem
Evening News, on May 4, 1899, at the time of his death:
"Ex Engineer Ezra Woodbury, news of whose critical illness was
announced in the first edition of today's News, died at his
residence, 168 Bridge street, at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Woodbury was born in Salem in the house on the corner of
Northey street and Woodbury court, Feb. 10, 1821. He was the
son of Israel and Susan Woodbury. He attended the old Williams
street school, and, after completing his education, learned the
carpenter's trade. On attaining his majority, he went into
business as junior member of the firm of Perkins & Woodbury.
The partnership lasted several yars, and upon its dissolution
he carried on the business alone, continuing it up to a few
years ago. He was largely interested in real estate and the
care of the property has been sufficient of late to keep him
busy.
He was always interested in fire matters and when quite a
young man was captain of one of the old hand engine companies,
and on April 4, 1879, was elected a member of the board of
engineers, serving until April 7, 1878. At the time of the
great fire in Boston, in 1872, in response to a call for help,
he was sent to that city in command of a portion of the Salem
fire department.
He was a member of the common council in 1856 and 1857, and
he had always been an earnest and outspoken temperance worker.
Mr. Woodbury was twice married, his wives being sisters,
Elizabeth and Mary Knight, and daughters of the late William
Knight of Salem. Both are dead. He leaves three sons, Ezra
Woodbury, assistant clerk of courts of Essex county, George P.
Woodbury a contractor and builder and Albert K. Woodbury first
assistant engineer of the Salem fire department, and one
daughter, Miss Abbie K. Woodbury who has kept her father's home
for him since the death of his second wife."
�Ezra Woodbury's real estate holdings in 1896 were listed as:
House 166-168 Bridge, $3,500; house 164 Bridge, $2,300; land,
6900 ft., $1,200; carpenter shop 58 Bridge, $100; land under
