  • Notes 
    • Erastus B. Pratt was born in Plainfield, October 24, 1842, where he remained with his father on a farm until the death of the latter in July, 1874. He then went to the state of Michigan, remaining there about one year. He married Betsey Poole, of Rockland, Mass., in March, 1876, removing soon after to Amherst, leasing a farm of Oliver Longley's estate. In April, 1877, he removed to this town, engaging in a general mercantile business, which he has ever since pursued. He received the appointment of postmaster in April, 1881, which he has held since that date. He has one child. - William Burton Gay. Gazetteer of Hampshire County, Mass., 1654-1887, p. 56
