Message Board Post:
Are you descended from the CALL family of Catamount Hill, Colrain, MA? If so, you are by
birth a member of the Catamount Hill Association.
www.catamounthillassociation.org
Catamount CALLs include: Esther, Hannah, Ira, John, John Jr., Lovina (m. Isaac Farley),
nancy, Stephen, and Sylvester.
The Catamount Hill Association first met in 1875 after most of the residents of Catamount
Hill had moved away. Their love of the Hill brought them back for a grand reunion, which
was such a success it has been repeated every five years ever since. Today, the
descendants of these 70 families still meet to celebrate our mutual heritage and to learn
and share stories of our beloved Catamount Hill.
Our next meeting is this August 7, 2010 at the Colrain Central School at 10am. People
come from all over the country, some having attended for many years, some for the first
time as they rediscover their roots. Information about the event is on our website.
We are also gearing up to celebrate the bicentennial of the May 1812 flag-raising on the
Hill in 2012. It is believed that this was the first time a US flag was raised over a
schoolhouse. We are planning a weekend celebration in partnership with our sister
organization, Mary Lyon Foundation, which owns the property where the monument is located.
You can learn more about Mary Lyon at:

I have done extensive research on Catamount Hill and its 690 residents from 1763-1875. I
do have further CALL information and would be happy to share. I am also eager to learn
more about the family and would like to include more about them and the other 70 Catamount
families on our website. Please feel free to correspond with me directly at the above
email, or you can contact the board at catamount1875(a)gmail.com.
Warm regards,
Sarah Johnson, President
Catamount Hill Association
