During the ensuing year the sum of one hundred and sixty-five dollars was raised "for the support of preaching, &c." The preachers were Revs. Thomas Whittemore, Benjamin Whittemore, and Thompson Barron; it having been " agreed with Thompson Barron, June 26th, to supply till the money was expended."

Till April, 1838, services were continued in the school-house. Then it was voted to hold meetings in the town house, and this continued till Dec. 22, 1841, when, a "meeting-house" having been erected on Washington Street, opposite Chapel Street, it was dedicated, and thereafter occupied.

The following have been pastors of this parish : From 1839 to 1844, Rev. Elmer Hewett ; from May, 1845, to May, 1846, Rev. Z. H. Howe; from Au- gust, 1846, to May, 1848, Rev. L. Hussey ; from June, 1848, to October, 1849, Rev. James Whittier ; from May, 1850, to May, 1854, Rev. N. Gunnison ; from May, 1855, to May, 1856, Rev. E. S. Foster ; from May, 1856, to May, 1860, Rev. Varnum Lin- coln; from July, 1860, to November, 1866, Rev. Joseph Crehore; from July, 1867, to May, 1869, Rev. James Marsden ; from September, 1870, to May, 1871, Rev. Charles Sawyer ; from July, 1872, to May, 1875, Rev. E. W. Preble; from May, 1877, to May, 1878, Rev. C. Elwood Nash ; from May, 1879, to May, 1881, Rev. James E. Smith. The present pastor, Rev. B. F. Bowles, began his pastorate May, 1882.

From its organization, in 1836 to 1870 (thirty- four years), its average growth was steady. Since then it has suffered severe losses by death and removal from the town. The division of the town, tending to develop special local interests away from the old centre, served also to deplete its strength. But from the first until now a fair proportion of the wealth, in-

telligence, and moral and social influence of the town has been represented in its membership.

Practically it has built two church edifices, the " remodeling" of the first at a cost of about ten thousand dollars having resulted in a new structure much larger, more elegant and imposing than the first. This has recently been repainted and is in ex- cellent repair. The ladies' sewing circle of the parish also own a large and commodious parsonage. And though there have been periods in which its current expenses were greater than now, they were never more easily or promptly met, and absolute harmony and prosperity prevail in all departments.

Its pastors, without exception, have been public- spirited citizens, manifesting a sympathy in and a readiness to promote all the interests of the town and all the reforms of their day. As an example of this worthy of mention, and the remembrance of all Abingtonians, Rev. N. Gunnison gave the first, or at least largely shared in giving the first, impulse to the movement resulting in the present beautiful cemetery, of which the town may well be proud. Appro- priately his remains lie there. The first pastor, Rev. Elmer Hewett, far advanced in life's journey now, and for many years a resident and honored citizen of South Weymouth, has always been an ardent apostle of temperance, and till the great emancipation, of anti-slavery.

Rev. Joseph Crehore is entitled to honorable men- tion for his zeal and devotion during a pastorate of six years, not only to all the interests of the parish, but, especially during the war, to the interest of the country. It was during his pastorate, and largely from his endeavors, that the church edifice was re- built.

The present pastor, Rev. B. F. Bowles, brought to this field the experience of several large city parishes, and very deservedly holds a warm place in the hearts of his people.

The Roman Catholic Church .- It was in 1862 that the Rev. A. L. Roche, then Catholic pastor of Randolph, purchased of Joseph Hunt the estate situ- ated on the northwest corner of Plymouth and Cen- tral Streets, Abington. He soon after began the erection of a Catholic Church on the lot on Central Strect, near the railroad. He had previously at- tended Abington as a mission from Randolph, and services were held in the town hall, or what is now the hall of the Young Men's Catholic Lyceum Asso- ciation.

On the completion of the church, Father Roche became resident pastor of Abington, a successor having been appointed to the Randolph parish.

Before Father Roche's time the few Catholics then residing in the Abingtons had been occasionally vis- ited by the Rev. Mr. Roddan, Catholic pastor of West Quincy, where had been built the first Catholic Church this side of Boston. The Rev. Mr. Roddan purchased, in 1858, the land of the present Catholic cemetery on Central Street, Rockland, with the in- tention of building on it a Catholic Church. He died, however, without being able to carry out his design. The Rev. Mr. Roche, who succeeded to this portion of his mission, thought the location of the cemetery lot not sufficiently central for a church, and so purchased the property on which stands the present St. Bridget's Church.

The congregation was composed of the Catholics living in East Abington (now Rockland), North, Centre, and South Abington, and Hanover.

Father Roche died Jan. 21, 1869, and was suc- ceeded by Rev. M. Moran, who labored zealously and successfully among the people, increasing very ma- terially the regular Sunday attendance of the congre- gation as well as the attendance of the children at the Sunday-school, and who managed by strenuous efforts to clear the entire indebtedness of the church. On his removal to St. Stephen's Church, Boston, in 1872, he was succeeded by Rev. J. C. Murphy, who pur- chased the hotel property on Union Street, Rockland, for the purpose of building a church to better accom- modate the large number who attended St. Bridget's from that important section of the parish. In Au- gust, 1876, Father Murphy was appointed to the new parish of Plymouth, where he had previously built a church.

He was succeeded by Rev. W. P. McQuaid, the present pastor of St. Bridget's Church. Father Mc- Quaid built the Catholic Church in Rockland in 1882; also, in 1880, one in South Abington, and another in Hanover. In June, 1883, Rockland was made a separate Catholic parish, with Hanover and Pembroke attached, and the Rev. J. D. Tierney was appointed its first pastor.

The present Catholic parish of Abington includes North, Centre, and South Abington, with two churches, -St. Bridget's, Centre Abington, and the Church of the Holy Ghost, South Abington, attended by two clergymen,-Rev. Mr. McQuaid and Rev. J. J. Nilum. The estimated Catholic population is: North Abington, 400 ; Centre Abington, 800; South Ab- ington, 500.

Aged People .- The oldest person in town is Oba- diah Reed, who was ninety years of age last January.

Mr. Seth Reed, who is still actively at work every day, was born in Abington, May 1, 1804. He has lived on the site of his present residence, on Wash- ington Street, for half a century, and is among the wealthiest men in town, being the heaviest owner of real estate. When Mr. Reed was asked to what he owed his success in life, he replied, " By working hard when a young man at fifty cents a day (a dollar a day in the haying season, from sunrise to sunset), and putting my money where it would earn me something."

There has been a great change in the price of land in Mr. Reed's day. When he was a young man he purchased half an acre of land at what is now the in- tersection of North Avenue and Adams Street, north- east corner, for $12.50. He wanted a whole acre, but thinking the price too high, he purchased the amount stated. This half-acre of land is now in- cluded in the elegant grounds of Mr. S. N. Reed, and is estimated by competent judges to be worth at the rate of four thousand dollars per acre.

Capt. George W. Pratt, who was commissioned by Governor John Davis in 1834, must be classed among the oldest residents, having been born in Abington, May 27, 1809.

Mr. Ezekiel Townsend was eighty-one years of age last November. He is still vigorous, and may be found daily at his work in Capt. Arnold's factory.

The oldest person in the north part of the town is Deacon Joseph Cleverly, who was born in Quincy in 1797, and came in 1820 to this town, where he has resided ever since. For some years he was engaged in the tanning and currying business south of his present residence. He was actively engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes until 1862, when he retired from business. A member of the Board of Selectmen for nine years, and frequently serving as moderator in town-meetings, Mr. Cleverly has been closely identified with the interests of the town a larger part of the present century. He has a well- nigh perfect recollection of people, events, and dates, and is authority for the statement that in 1835 each member of the Board of Selectmen carried in a bill of twenty-seven dollars each for services for the year, whereat a prominent citizen arose in town-meeting, and exclaimed in surprise, " What have our select- ' men done the past year to earn twenty-seven dollars

The Grand Army of the Republic .- MePherson Post, No. 73, Department of Massachusetts, Grand Army of the Republic, was the third post organized in Plymouth County ; date of organization, Dee. 23, 1868, and is named for Maj .- Gen. James Birdseye MePherson, who graduated first in his elass at West Point in 1853. He rendered notable service in the war of the Rebellion, and had the left of the line in the battle before Atlanta. While superintending an ad- vanee of the skirmish line he was ambushed and shot. The charter members of the post were F. P. Harlow, Charles F. Allen, E. P. Reed, W. B. White, T. S. Atwood, F. Foster, Jr., S. W. Bennett, Jr., Josiah Soule, Jr., H. L. Cushing, and Henry B. Peiree, and from this nueleus the posts at Roekland and South Abington were formed. The roll of members con- tains one hundred and eighty-one names, representing sixty-seven distinet military organizations and twelve ships of war. There are but one hundred members at the present time. Twenty have been removed by death, and the rest have moved away from the town.

Meetings are held weekly on Wednesday evenings, except during June, July, and August, when they are held on the first and third Wednesdays only.

Memorial exereises have been held each memorial day sinee the organization of the post, the town ap- propriating annually the sum of one hundred dollars toward defraying the expenses thereof. Memorial ad- dresses have been delivered by Gen. A. B. Under- wood, of Newton, in 1869; William Ralph Emer- son, of Boston, in 1870; Rev. Henderson Virgin, of Abington, in 1871; Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, of

Melrose, in 1872; Rev. E. W. Preble, of Abington, in 1873 ; J. Mason Everett, Esq., of Canton, in 1874 ; Col. George T. Childs, of St. Albans, Vt., in 1875 ; Rev. George E. Freeman, of Abington, in 1876; Maj. George S. Merrill, of Lawrence, in 1877 ; Rev. C. Ellwood Nash, of Abington, in 1878; Gen. W. W. Blackmar, of Boston, in 1879 ; Hon. B. W. Har- ris, of East Bridgewater, in 1880 ; Col. T. W. Hig- ginson, of Cambridge, in 1881 ; Rev. B. F. Bowles, of Abington, in 1882 ; Col. George W. Williams, of Plymouth, in 1883 ; and Henry Cabot Lodge, Esq., of Nahant, in 1884; and the services thus rendered have been gratuitous in each ease.

The Mount Vernon Cemetery corporation voted to allow the post to seleet, free of eost, a lot for its use, and by this generous aet a resting-place in a beautiful locality is seeured for all soldiers who are not other- wise provided for.

The post has expended thousands of dollars for the relief of disabled soldiers and the families of de- eeased soldiers, from funds raised by holding fairs and in various other ways. Its meetings are held in Grand Army Hall, in a room appropriately decorated with pietures and the paraphernalia of the order. The post has been aided in this, as in many other ways, by the Grand Army Sewing Cirele, an auxiliary asso- ciation of ladies.

This post was the first to inaugurate " camping- out," going into eamp by itself at Brant Roek for two or three days at a time, prior to the organization of the Plymouth County posts into a division.

War Record (1861-65) .- During the late Rebel- lion Abington sent more than a full regiment to the front, and her sons were found in naval contests, and on every field, in the thiekest of the fight, bearing their part nobly and well, even unto death. At the elose of the war the noble veterans, who had survived many a hard-fought field and had been spared to return to home and loved ones, were tendered a reception by the town at Island Grove.

The following is believed to be the most accurate list of the soldiers and sailors from Abington who participated in the late war that has yet appeared. It was prepared at a great expense of time and labor by Judge Kelley, of Roekland :
