HISTORY OF LYNN.


REPRESENTATIVES OF LYNN.


Down to 1634 the General Court was composed of the whole body of freemen, and individuals were sometimes fined or censured for not attending to their legislative duties. In May of the year just named the first House of Deputies, or Representatives was formed, as it had begun to be felt that the attendance of all the freemen was a great inconvenience. The following is a list of those sent from Lynn, down to the close of century 1700. The list would be quite extensive if continued to the present time, and would hardly be of sufficient general interest to compensate for the space it would occupy. 1634. May 14.

TABLES.


ST. MARY'S. [Roman Catholic.]


Catholic services were held in Lynn, at a private house, as early as 1835. Subsequently, the Town Hall was oc- cupied as a place of worship. In 1855, the wooden building on Ash street, which had been occupied as a Metho- dist and likewise as a Baptist house of worship, and later still as a gram- inar school-house, having been remod- eled and enlarged was consecrated to Catholic worship. In 1859 it was burn- ed. Soon afterward, the beautiful brick Gothic church near the eastern end of South Common street, and which is still the finest public building in Lynn, was erected, and made ready for occu- pation in 1862.
