                <text>Lithuanian immigrant Joseph Bagdon (Bagdonas) arrived in Sunderland in June of 1908.&#13;
Around 1915 he was living at the former Cephas Graves house (built 1873). The barn at the rear of the property burned sometime during the  1970s.&#13;
View is looking North West from present day route 116, South of the rest stop.&#13;
       In a 2023 corespondense with the Swampfield Historical Society long time Sunderland resident Tom Zimnowski offered this story of the barn fire:&#13;
"I remember that night the barn and cattle were destroyed. I was on my way home from 7th Street Turners Falls, Saint Kazimiers dancing till 1am. I hit a Skunk on 5&amp;10. I was at the Sunderland Car Wash about 1:30am washing my Firebird when Ralph Pomeroy pulled up and questioned me WHY? It was then I found out about the fire. He was looking for the Arsonist. I explained but the smell convinced him! It was not me. Then again I was wearing my White slacks and Red shirt and dancing shoes."</text>
