Historic Scenes in Old New England I n VI A|\J r-y where a regicide of Charles I appeared "from OL1/ f1/\DLE#l ^ovyhere ~ and saved the panic stricken settlers Old Hadley, a beautiful New England town, situated upon the east bank of the Connecticut River some twenty miles north of Springfield, Mass., was a center of great activity during the stirring days of King Philip's Indian wars. On Sept. 1, 1676, while at worship in the village meeting house, the inhabitants of Old Hadley were surprised by an attack upon their settlement by a horde pf Indians. Abandoning worahip, they seized tneir arms and rushed out to defend their homes, but the suddenness of ths attack found them utteriy demoralized. When the confusion was at its height there suddenly appeared in their midst an unknown man of grave and elderly bearing, who at onco took command <>f the situation, issued orders, rallied the defenders and in short order routed the redskins from the town. Then, as sud denly as he had appeared, did the stranger effect his romoval from the Rcene, and his* identity for many years remained a comparative mystery. , 1 It was later established that the^ deliverer of Iladley was General William (.ioffe, one of the three living twricides of Charles I. and fofr whose head a liberal bounty was offered.. After years of mirsuit from place to dice he found safe hiding under the hospitable roof of Pastor John Russel of the Old iladley congregation. It is believed that after hia spectacular deliverance of the Iladley settlers he remained still undiscovered in the Russel household until, his death some five years later. A beautiful state road winding up the Connecticut valley takes thousands of autoists each year directly by the spot where General Qoffe rallied the inhabitants of Old Hadley to the defense of their homes.
