Excerpt from Old Worcester: Worcester, Massachusetts, About 1840; Fourth Paper in Continuation Dr. Thomas built a house, for those days an elegant man sion, on the ground where the New Court House now stands, the building containing his printing press standing just south of it, and here he passed the closing days of his life, dying in 1831, at the age of eighty-two years, the most distinguished citizen of Worcester. Dr. Thomas as well as Dr. Bancroft wore in the street long grey stockings, knee buckles, small-clothes and the capacious coat so fashionable among gentlemen in the beginning of the century, and he was one of the last to appear in the street in that costume. Judge and Mrs. Merrick had no children, but a niece of the latter, Miss Caroline Crocker, made her home with her aunt a part of the year, for the purpose of attending school in Worcester. Mrs. Merrick was a most estimable woman, and one much respected by her friends and acquaintances, and after her removal to Boston, her house was frequented by some of the most agreeable and noted people in the city, the legal element naturally predominating.
