"Caleb Ticknor Once Ran Addison
Prominent Hotel Man Succumbs to Shock In Ridgefield, Conn.
Caleb Ticknor of Pittsfield, Mass., a former prominent Middlebury resident, died Saturday night, November 5, in Ridgefield, Conn. Mr. Ticknor, who was 82 years old, was stricken with paralysis last week Wednesday, and never rallied from the stroke. He was owner of the Berkshire Inn in Great Barrington, Mass., and also of the Court Inn, at Camden, S. C.
Forty years ago he purchased the William Cullen Bryant homestead with the old Berkshire house in Great Barrington and established the Inn. For years he maintained one of the best stables of driving horses in the southern Berkshires. He is survived by one son, B. B. Ticknor, who was associated with his father in business.
Once Proprietor of Addison
Mr. Ticknor was a native of Middlebury and was once very prominent in local affairs. There are very few here now who recall him, but Mr. C. E. Pinney says that he remembers very well when Mr. Ticknor was active here. 'Even then,' says Mr. Pinney, 'Ticknor had a mania for fine horses, and he always had some that could travel.' For a period of five years Mr. Ticknor was proprietor of the Addison house, during the years from 1861 to 1866, being succeeded by Darwin Rider. He also built the T. M. Chapman residence, and in the late sixties equipped the Star Flouring mills with new milling machinery and with W. S Goodrich, ran the mill until 1874, when he sold out to Goodrich and Barton, and moved to Great Barrington." [Source: Middlebury Register, Middlebury, Vermont, Friday, 11 Nov 1921, p. 1]
