By WILLIAM REINECKE Mercury Staff Writer The supervisors of South Coventry balked at an invitation Monday evening to rent a room in the home of a legendary lover of Benjamin Franklin. Supervisor Richard Nosley shied away from the rental proposal of the historical society that owns Coventry House, the home of early American iron master, Robert Grace. The French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust Inc. is considering renting the home in Coventryville to the supervisors for $1,000 a year.

The supervisors now meet in a school building of the Owen J. Roberts district. The president of the historical society, Eleanor, wife of Rep. Sam Morris, said opening the iron home to a government body would be higher than keeping the home as a museum. According to unofficial history, Benjamin Franklin tested his first stove in the home, formerly known as Oakley, while Robert Grace was still alive.

After death, Franklin grew close to the widow and visited the home. A proper woman. Mrs. Grace had old Ben sleep at an inn down the road.

Winds caused autumn leaves to flutter to the ground, and heavy gray clouds to whip across the sky, with only intermittent periods of sunshine.
