THE WAYS OF A WORKER OF A CENTURY AGO
As Shown by the Diary of Joseph Lye, Shoemaker.
For all the facts in this little book the writer is indebted to Henry F. Tapley, who gave the Lye, or Tapley, shoe shop to the Essex Institute, and who related the record of it, as well as extracts from the diary of Joseph Lye, to the Lynn Historical Society, October 14, 1915.
Mr. Tapley’s story is published in the Register of the Lynn Historical Society, Number XIX, for the Year 1915.
