EXTRACT FROM THE RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY IN NEW ENGLAND.
At the General Court holden in Boston, September 27, 1642, ORDERED,

THE PREPARATION.
Mayor EDWARD E. THOMPSON, President.
INAUGURAL MENTION.
F EW towns have borne a more honorable part in the history of the Commonwealth than the old town of Woburn, and yet of the busy multitude that daily throng its streets, doubtless but a small pro- " portion had, until recently, more than a vague acquaintance with its past and the memorials of former times that have remained to the present day. It was to call attention of its citizens to the rich historic materials lying within its borders that the first mayor of Woburn, Hon. Edward Francis John- son, on Jan. 7, 1889, in his inaugural address said : -
Having said so much on matters pertaining to the present, I ask to be allowed a word, in closing, in relation to the remote past, for our city has a past to which it can point with pride, and in which all our citizens as heirs-at-law can claim a share. Each ward, indeed, has its memorials of this past.
In Ward I were laid out, fully four years before the incorpora- tion of the town, the Waterfield lots, so called, which were the first possession of civilized man within the present limits of the city.
In the southern portion of Ward 2, in the middle of the last century, was opened a silver mine, and articles made from its ore are still extant.
Ward 3 is rich in historic ground. Within its precincts, in undisturbed repose, rest the consecrated remains of our fore-
I7
fathers, - the hardy pioneers who forced their way into the howling wilderness, and there founded a church and municipality which have existed from that day to this. On Wyman Street, within this ward, was located the first tanyard, and John and Francis Wyman were the first Woburn tanners. From this germ has sprung the great tree, the branches of which, extending well nigh over the whole city, give life to many of our citizens and prosperity to us all.
On Montvale Avenue, in Ward 4, and nearly opposite to each other, stood the second meeting-house and the second dwelling- house in the town. This dwelling-house was, indeed, the first to be erected within the present territorial limits of the city.
On the plain near the banks of the Aberjona, in Ward 5, the seven commissioners from Charlestown first selected the site of the new town; and, although the spot so chosen for settlement was soon changed, yet its historical importance still remains.
The house in which Woburn's most eminent native, Count Rumford, was born is located in Ward 6, and about it cluster many associations
" That whisper of the past."
The old Simonds homestead, which has stood for more than two hundred years, is the historic landmark of Ward 7. Beneath its diamond-paned windows the savage aboriginal lurked, and within the shadow of the neighboring elm, under the high dome of Heaven, "the rude forefathers " sang the hymn of praise to God.
Such, gentlemen, are a few fragmentary facts with which our local records abound,- facts in which every citizen has an inter- est, representing, as they do, the life and history of the past.
As a fitting supplement to these words, Mayor Johnson, a few months later, granted a school holi- day and ordered flags to be displayed on the public buildings on Oct. 7, the anniversary of the incor- poration of the town. This act served not only to fix in mind the precise historic date of the incor- poration, but also to call attention to the near
18

approach of its two hundred and fiftieth anniver- sary, and to stimulate a feeling among the citizens at large that the anniversary should be publicly recognized in a manner altogether worthy of the ancient municipality. This feeling was formally. expressed by Hon. George Fremont Bean, mayor- of Woburn, in his inaugural address delivered Jana 5, 1891 : -
The Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorpora- tion of Woburn occurs Oct. 7, 1892. On that date in 1642 the public Act of Incorporation of the town of Woburn was passed. I regard it as eminently fitting that the completion of this rounded period of the corporate existence of Woburn should be appropriately observed. I am inclined to go farther and express the opinion that it is incumbent on the citizens and the city to provide for such a celebration. I think it will be of material advantage to our community if the observance is carried out on a scale befitting its importance and significance. Woburn is one of the historic towns of the Commonwealth. Her history goes back to the earliest period of the Colonies. Her Revolutionary record is a proud one, and her territory is historic ground. If Woburn's patriots were not actually in the track of the famous ride of Paul Revere and were not actually roused by him to help repel the invaders, they were quick to respond to the call when it reached their ears. They were on hand at Lexington and Con- cord Bridge and fought where
" ** the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world."
The occasion comes to us in the slow march of time. We have not to seek it and no one can question our right and duty to embrace it. No trivial or doubtful incident or fancied anni- versary date is the foundation for the observance.
Considerable inquiry has satisfied me that the past and present citizens of Woburn generally desire a fitting observance of the occasion. Other cities and towns of the Commonwealth have
19
already celebrated like anniversaries with exercises which have called together their sons and daughters in grand reunions, and entertained them with civic and military parades, and public orations, poems, and banquets. The result has in every case been to awaken local pride, stimulate local business, and promote general good feeling and good will.
While speaking to the City Council, I would also reach the Woburn public. It is desirable that the initial steps in this undertaking should be taken by the citizens. Though not a son of Woburn by birth or ancestry, I desire, as a citizen who has made this his home, to urge that local organizations for historic or other purposes and individual citizens, by petition or other- wise, indicate to you and to each other their sentiments on the subject. If the celebration is to take place, the City Council should take steps to secure, during the coming session of the General Court, the passage of an Act authorizing the appropria- tion of a proper sum to defray expenses. I recommend that this be done.
The sentiments expressed by Mayor Bean were heartily endorsed by his successor, Hon. Edward Everett Thompson, himself a lineal descendant of one of the original settlers, who, in his inaugural address, delivered Jan. 4, 1892, emphasized the necessity of prompt action in the following words : -
My predecessor in office called attention, in his address, one year since, to the near approach of the two hundred and fifti- eth anniversary of the incorporation of Charlestown Village as a separate municipality bearing the name of Woburn. The Act of Incorporation was passed Sept. 27, 1642, old style, which, accord- ing to our present reckoning, is Oct. 7. Nearly two years before this, however, thirty-two commissioners had signed the "Town Orders," and at the time of the incorporation the settlement was well established, embracing originally the greater part of what is now Wilmington, Burlington, and Winchester. Wilmington
20

was set off and incorporated as a separate town in 1730; Bur- lington, sixty-nine years later, in 1799 ; and Winchester in 1850.
The details of the early history, both civil and religious, of our town, will be more appropriately introduced at the approaching anniversary, the seventh day of next October. We may well emphasize the declaration that it is a dictate of obvious pro- priety that that day should be suitably observed and that the past should then be recounted. And it would be highly proper that committees should be promptly appointed and that the necessary arrangements be made soon, in order to secure the greatest possible success in the interesting and rare occasion which we anticipate. Not many country towns, even in Massachusetts, have a richer history to recount. Very few are the municipal- ities that have a better inheritance. From the incorporation down to the close of the Revolutionary War, our fathers, not to say our mothers, were heroes. In saying this, we by no means disparage the character of our fathers and brothers in later years, but it is well and increasingly important that we revive and keep fresh in our minds the memory of those who founded and defended our old town in its younger, weaker, and comparatively defenceless years.
Many of the early settlers here have among us numerous descendants bearing still their familiar names. To these hon- ored names are now added many others equally worthy. And all alike, grateful for our heritage and loyal to our traditions, may join in the exercises of an occasion intended and fitted to honor the birthday either of our original or our adopted home.
Of Woburn as a city we need to say but little in this connec- tion. It is too early to speak of our history. We need only to bear in mind that of the twenty-eight cities in our Common- wealth, Woburn is, in the date of its incorporation, the twenty- fifth, that thus only three are younger than we, and that the smallest of the twenty-seven has a population of about three hundred more than we register. With Woburn as a city, how- ever, our present and prospective legislation must have to do. This is of necessity true even of our preparation to celebrate the incorporation and history of Woburn as a town.
I would therefore recommend to the City Council that meas- ures be taken at once for the proper observance of the anniver- sary and for securing during the coming session of the General
21
P
. Court the passage of an act authorizing the appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to defray the expenses. I would also suggest that a committee from the citizens be selected and invited to co-operate with the City Council in making all arrange- ments necessary for the occasion.
ACTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
Early in January of 1892 an informal meeting of prominent citizens was held by invitation of Mayor Thompson, as a result of which the following order was introduced into the City Council and unani- mously adopted : -
Be it ordered, That a committee consisting of the President and three members of the Common Council, with such as the Board of Aldermen may join, be appointed with power to pre- pare a programme for the celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorporation of Woburn, and that they be and are hereby authorized and instructed to report to a full committee consisting of all the members of the City Council and such number of citizens, not exceeding one hundred, as may be invited by the Mayor to join ; and that said committee of the City Council and citizens have full power to do any and all things in their judgment necessary to carry out said pro- gramme. [Approved, Feb. 4, 1892.]
The following committee was appointed : -
His Honor, Mayor EDWARD E. THOMPSON.
Aldermen : President W. Frank Fowle, Philip K. A. Richardson. Councilmen : President B. Frank Waldron, John O'Donnell, George A. Simonds, James E. Cutler.

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS.
After a careful study of the matter and a consid- eration of what had been done in similar cases by other towns in the Commonwealth, the committee submitted their report at a meeting of the following citizens assembled by invitation of the Mayor, in Concert Hall, Savings Bank Building, on April 13, 1892: -
