Reply to comment by MattOLOLOL in LT John William Grout of Worcester, Massachusetts was 18 years old when he was killed in action at the Battle of Ball’s Bluff on October 21, 1861. His family marked his absence at family events by keeping his empty chair at the table. Inspired by this, Henry S Washburn composed “The Vacant Chair” by Unionforever1865
Seriously! I was gonna say "if he died at 18, then who is the 30 old man in the picture?"

The biggest black spot in Western Massachusetts is actually the Quabbin Reservoir which, along with the Wachusett Reservoir, provides drinking water for Boston and several towns in the Metro Boston area.
