The Postmaster-General reestablished the post office in Worcester March 13th, 1786, and reappointed Isaiah Thomas his deputy. After the death of John Farrar, Captain Pease bought this tavern and brought his family here. Those stage days were great days in the villages along the line and when Captain Pease driving four-in- hand awoke ...the echoes among the hills with the shrill 54 OLD TIMES IN SHREWSBURY blast from his horn, announcing the arrival of the stage coach, all was excitement until the cloud of dust disap- peared and the echo of the horn died away in the dis- tance.
