Rev. Mr. Sanford died July 28, 1880, aged seventy- nine years. His residence in East Bridgewater con- tinued nearly fifty-three years. He was a man of great decision of character, and true to his convic- tions. He was in advance of the community on the great moral questions of the day. In the temperance cause he took strong grounds. On the question of slavery he gave utterance to ideas which to some were distasteful, but which eventually were looked upon

with respect. His discourses, plain and practical, were carefully studied and of solid worth. In them he endeavored to set forth the whole counsel of God. Though to some he seemed stern, he was in reality genial and kind-hearted. He was a member of the school committee for a longer period than any one else in the town, and held the office of chairman of that board longer than any other member. The re- ports which emanated from his pen were replete with good sense and useful suggestions. He will be long remembered and honored for his sterling qualities.

Rev. Mr. Wilcox was dismissed in April, 1860, and Rev. Henry Dwight Woodworth was the next pastor. He was ordained Sept. 12, 1860. The discourse was

Rev. Mr. Sanford was dismissed in September, 1849. by Rev. Henry E. Dwight, of Randolph, charge by Rev. Dr. Maltby, of Taunton, address to the people by Rev. H. D. Walker, of East Abington. Rev. Mr. Woodworth graduated at Amherst in 1855. He re- signed Sept. 9, 1861, and Rev. Nathaniel Hooper Broughton became acting pastor May 4, 1862. His birthplace was Marblehead, and he was graduated at Amherst College in 1847. He died June 2, 1866, aged forty years.

Rev. Jeremiah K. Aldrich was installed the next - pastor Jan. 22, 1868. He was born in Providence, R. I., May 20, 1826. He resigned April 2, 1870, and is now pastor of the First Church in Wellfleet.

On the 24th of November, 1871, the society voted to hire Rev. Austin Dodge, of Newburyport, for one year. He left in June, 1874, and on the 30th of November of that year the society voted unanimously to extend a call to Rev. Daniel W. Richardson to be- come their pastor. He was succeeded by Rev. Perley M. Griffin, who began his labors with them Jan. 2, 1881, and is the present pastor.

The society was not incorporated by the Legisla- ture till 1864, when the following act was passed :

" AN Act in Relation to the Union Society in East Bridge- water. Be it enacted, &e., as follows :

New Jerusalem Church .- The East Bridge- water Society of the New Jerusalem commenced February, 1830. Rev. Adonis Howard began preach- ing to a congregation of receivers of the doctrines of the New Jerusalem, as unfolded in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, April 23, 1831, on which day a legally notified mecting was holden, and a society legally organized, under the name of the New Jeru- salem Society in East Bridgewater. Robert Curtis was chosen clerk; William Harris, Jonah Edson, Joseph Chamberlain, prudential committee. The members of the society then formed were as follows, viz. : William Harris, Jonah Edson, Charles Mitchell, James B. Fellows, George Mitchell, Joseph Cham- berlain, Jr., Robert Curtis, Samuel Rogers, Jacob A. Rogers, Daniel French.

In 1838 the General Convention of the New Jeru- salein Church in the United States having adopted certain rules of order, it was dcemed proper that a so- ciety should be instituted in accordance with thesc rules. Accordingly, Aug. 2, 1838, Joseph Chamber- lain, Jr., and twenty-six others were formed into an ecclesiastical body by Rev. Thomas Worcester, D.D., of Boston.

This society at first worshiped in private houses, afterwards in the school-house at Satucket, in the academy at East Bridgewater village, and in Church- ill's Hall, in Joppa. In 1854 its present house of worship was built, having fifty-four pews, which was dedicated December 14th of that year by Rev. Eleazer Smith. The discourse was from Rev. xiv. 1, 2, 3.

The cost of the house, including the land, was four thousand dollars. Nov. 11, 1864, a steel bell, of Sheffield manufacture, was hung in the tower of this house, weight five hundred and cighty pounds, cost one hundred and seventy-four dollars. It was sup- posed at the time that this was the first house of wor- ship of the New Church order in the United States furnished with a bell.

This society has had as its ministers, Rev. Adonis Howard, from its organization to October, 1838; Rev. James Scott from August, 1843, to September,

1846; Rev. Tilly B. Hayward from September, 1846, to November, 1849; Rev. John Philander Perry from April, 1850, to April 3, 1853; Rev. Eleazer Smith from October, 1853, to April, 1856 ; Rev. Timothy O. Paine from April, 1856, to Aug. 14, 1864, on which day he was installed as pastor by Rev. Thomas Worcester, S.T.D., of Boston.

This society has held services in times when it has had no minister, viz. : from October, 1838, to August, 1843, and from November, 1849, to April, 1850, under the leadership of Mr. William Harris; and from April, 1853, to October of the same year, under the leadership of Mr. Thomas Conant.

Rev. Timothy Otis Paine, son of Frederic and Abiel (Ware) Paine, was born at Winslow, Me., Oct. 13, 1824; graduated at Waterville College in 1847. He studied for the ministry of the Swedenborgian or New Church, and in 1856 commenced preaching at Elm- wood, and has ever since been pastor of that society, having been installed in 1864. Since 1865 he has been Semitic professor in the Theological School of the New Church, located at Waltham. He is a member of the American Oriental Society, and of the Semitic Club at Cambridge. He has been for many years a diligent and successful student of ancient languages. He is regarded as a learned Egyptologist, and has been for some time engaged in translating into English the very ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead." His work on the Temple of Solomon, illus- trated by his own drawings, is a learned and very valuable work. His antiquarian tastes lcd him, in 1852, to search for the site of Fort Halifax, which was one of three forts forming the ancient defenses near his native town. Such a fort was known to have existed a century ago, but all traces of it had been lost for two or three generations. He was successful in tracing out the palisades and foundations of the three forts, and the drawings he made are proved cor- rect by historical records. In 1875 he received the degree of LL.D. from his Alma Mater. In October, 1856, he married Agnes, daughter of Dr. Adonis Howard, of Medford, Mass.

Timothy Keith Reed, son of Josiah and Jennette (Keith) Reed, was born in East Bridgewater, June 4, 1841. His father was a skillful artisan. Mechanical invention seemed to characterize the Reed line. He (Timothy K.) died at the age of thirty-two years. In his brief career he had obtained for his various inven- tions twenty patents, among which were five for sewing-machines, one for an eye-letting machine, and several in aid of boot and shoemaking, etc. Among his last achievements was a sewing-machine for sewing thick leather with wirc. He died on Dec. 5, 1873.

HISTORY OF EAST BRIDGEWATER.

First Universalist Society .- In 1834, Lewis Keith and others formed a Universalist society, which held services occasionally in the hall in the upper part of Mr. Keith's dwelling-house. After the completion of the town hall, in 1840, services were sometimes held there. Rev. Elmer Hewett, of Hanson, preached to that society many times. In 1848-50, Rev. Edwin H. Lake was their pastor. In 1871 they erected a house of worship on the site where the Crombie Tavern had stood. The house was dedicated Oct. 1, 1851. The sermon was preached by Rev. N. Gun- nison, of Abington. In 1857, the house was leased to the Methodists, and the Universalist society was disbanded.

Methodist Protestant Church. - This church was organized in 1842. On the 24th of July, that year, Rev. James Wheaton organized a class consisting of six members. On the 27th of November following, Rev. Mr. Wheaton baptized Asa Hudson, Isaac Hatch, Caleb L. Hudson, George Jenkins, Thomas A. Mel- len, George Josselyn, Eliza Hudson, Marcia Hatch, Deborah Monroe, and Mary E. Josselyn. December 11th, the following were baptized, viz .: William But- ler, Isaac Osborne. Martin Osborne, Stephen C. How- ard, Alfred Bolton, Charles Mellen, Bethia Osborne, and Christiana Brewster. December 25th, Charles H. Brown and Timothy Mitchell were baptized. Feb. 25, 1843, a Quarterly Conference was held at the house of Ellis C. Holmes, and the following officers were chosen, viz .: Stephen C. Howard, chairman ; Isaac Hatch, secretary ; and Isaac Hatch, Stephen C. Howard, and George Jenkins, stewards. April 19, 1843, a Quarterly Conference was held at the house of Isaac Hatch. License was granted to Rev. Igna- tius Thompson to cxhort and preach till the Annual Conference.

In 1844, Rev. Joseph S. Eldridge began his min- istry to the society, and continued his services as their pastor for five years. The place of meeting on Sun- day was the Satucket school-house. In 1849, Mr. Eldridge became president of the Methodist Protest- ant Conference, and different pastors were obtained from time to time, but after a few years the society ceased to hold any meetings.

Trinitarian Congregational Society .- This so- ciety was organized in 1849. Most of its members had been connected with the Union society, but sep- arated from it after the dismissal of Rev. Baalis San- ford from the Union, who on the formation of the new society became its pastor. The church was or- ganized Nov. 14, 1849. The original members of the new church were Parlee Keith, Nathan Whit- man, Francis Packard, William Lincoln, Zerviah

Chamberlain, Jennet Whitman, Dulcena Keith, Abby Sanford, Joan Willis, Damaris Tirrell, Semanthc Whitmau, Willard Whitman, Sophronia Whitman, Frederick Johnson, Rosanna P. Johnson, Susan Pratt, Wealthey S. E. Shaw.

The following members were added after the for- mation of the church : Reuel Lincoln, Daniel Whit- man, Betsey Sanford, Abby C. Alden, Betsey Fisher, Mary P. Bell, Samuel D. Keith, Timothy W. Fisher, William Keith, Sarah Jane Keith, Calvin Chamber- lain, Deiodama Lambkin, Betsey Alden, Almira L. Torrey, Henry Alden, Abigail R. Littlefield, Baalis Sanford, Rufus A. Littlefield.

Nathan Whitman and Francis Packard were chosen deacons of the church.

The society worshiped for two years in a private house. A meeting-house was erccted in 1851, and on the 3d of December, that year, was dedicated. Rev. B. Sanford, the pastor, preached the sermon from Ps. xcvi. 8,-" Bring an offering and come into his courts." The house was located on Central Street, a few rods east of Mr. Sanford's residence. It cost three thousand one hundred dollars, was fifty- six feet long, with fifty-six pews, and a bell weighing one thousand and ninety-four pounds.

It was, after a few years, found difficult to main- tain two religious societies of the same faith in this . town, and in 1861 the society was dissolved. Mr. Sanford preached the last sermon in that house of worship April 7, 1861, and in November, 1865, the building was taken down and removed to North Bridgewater, where it is doing service as a shoe man- ufactory.

Methodist Episcopal Church .- The first Metho- dist Church in the town was in Northville village. This society originated in South Abington and was known as the South Abington Mission, and its place of meeting was changed to Northville village about 1849. In 1850 a house of worship was erected in Northville. Prominent in this undertaking were Cor- nelius Nash, Henry Pratt, Alanson Estes, and Sam- uel F. White. About thirty families belonged to the society. Its pastors were Lemuel Harlow, E. F. Hinks, T. B. Gurney, J. M. Worcester, G. H. Win- chester, Hiram Satchwell, Eli Marsh, and - At- kinson.

The formation of a Methodist Church in the cen- tral part of the town diminished the numbers and re- sources of the Northville congregation, and public worship ceased to be held in the meeting-house about 1860.

In 1856 there was no Methodist Church in or near the centre of the town. In that year Richard M.

HISTORY OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY.

Smith, who had formerly been licensed as a Methodist preacher, but his health failing had given up the ministry, came from Scituate, purchased a farm, and settled in East Bridgewater. Secing the necessity of having a church established in this village, and find- ing several families favorable to such a plan, early in 1857 he started a subscription in order to obtain a place of worship and the services of a preacher. The Universalists having ceased holding public services, a lease of their house of worship for three years was obtained. Application having been made to Rev. Paul Townsend, presiding elder, for a preacher, and a grant from the missionary fund at the session of the Providence Conference holden at Bristol, R. I., April 1, 1857, Rev. Carlos Banning was appointed, minister in charge of the East Bridgewater station, with an ap- propriation of one hundred dollars from the mission- ary society. He preached his first sermon there April 11, 1857. The congregation at first numbered about fifty members. It rapidly increased, and at the Quarterly Conference, held Aug. 1, 1857, the pastor reported that the number in attendance had reached one hundred and fifty, and that a church had been organized with nineteen members. The names of the members were Richard M. Smith, Waldo Hayward, Francis Hayward, Samuel F. White, Alanson Estes, William B. Hall, Heard Milliken, O. P. Farrington, Thomas Sturtevant, Augusta Smith, Lavinia Hay- ward, Hannah H. Hayward, Rebecca White, Abigail Estes, Jane M. Clark, Mehitable Milliken, Sally Belcher, Harriet Banning, Betsey Hayward.

At the first Quarterly Meeting, held June 17, 1857, Richard M. Smith, Samuel F. White, and William B. Hall were chosen stewards, and soon afterwards Ben- jamin R. Robinson, Charles H. Brown, Francis Hay- ward, Williams Tirrell, and John R. Thurston were added to this number.

In the autumn of 1857, Rev. A. B. Earle, an evangelist, was engaged to come and labor with the society. He began his labors there on Sunday, Nov- ember 22d. For six weeks the work went on after- noons and evenings, and as a result many accessions were made to that church ; the neighboring churches also receiving additions. At the close of Rev. C. Ban- ning's ministry of two years there, the church had one hundred and twenty members, and there were one hundred and sixty scholars in the Sunday-school. In the spring of 1859, Rev. Charles H. Payne, now president of Ohio Wesleyan University, was appointed pastor of the society. He was an eloquent preacher, and highly estecmed by his congregation and the com- munity. By this time the parish was not only self- supporting, but a considerable sumn was raised for

missionary purposes. The church was legally organ- ized as the First Methodist Episcopal Church, East Bridgewater, and the following were chosen trustees, viz. : Richard M. Smith, Jotham Hicks, George T. Mitchell, Waldo Hayward, William Lincoln, Samuel F. White, and Charles E. Churchill.

Steps were soon taken to erect a church edifice. The trustees appointed Rev. Charles H. Payne, Rich- ard M. Smith, and George T. Mitchell as a building committee. The society selected a lot of land, that on which the house now stands. The building com- mittee contracted with Samuel L. Ryder to build the house above the foundation for seven thousand dol- lars. The work was begun in August. The church was raised on the 3d of September. At nine o'clock A.M., before the work began, religious exercises took place. Rev. C. H. Payne gave an address. The house was dedicated Jan. 30, 1861. The sermon on that occasion was preached by Rev. E. O. Haven, then editor of Zion's Herald, who afterwards held the office of bishop.

The pastors from the beginning of the society have been as follows : Carlos Banning, 1857-59 ; Charles H. Payne, 1859-61 ; William Henry Stetson, 1861- 63; John W. Willett, 1863-64; William F. Far- rington, 1864-67 ; John F. Sheffield, 1867-69 ; Henry H. Martin, 1869-71; Samuel A. Winsor, 1871 to September, 1872; George W. Anderson, from September, 1872-75; George W. Ballou, 1875- 78; William J. Smith, 1878-81 ; Frederick A. Crafts, 1881-83; Ephraim S. Fletcher, 1883, the present pastor.

St. Bridget's Church .- The Roman Catholic Church in East Bridgewater was gathered in 1862. In January, 1863, the house of worship originally built and occupied by the Universalists, and later used by the Methodists, was purchased by the Catholics, and public services according to the forms of that church were held there for the first time on the 15th of February following. Rev. Thomas B. McNulty, of Brockton, began his serviecs as pastor of this church. He was succeeded by Rev. John A. Conlin, who became pastor Jan. 28, 1869, and still officiates here and in the Catholic Church at Bridgewater.

Cemeteries .- The old graveyard near the common is supposed to be the oldest in Bridgewater township, excepting that of the first settlement in the West Pre- cinct.

According to tradition, soon after the settlement of Rev. John Angier, in 1724, he cut initials, dates, etc., upon many stones which he found at the heads of old graves. Such inscriptions have been recognized, dating as far back as 1700, one of 1685.

HISTORY OF EAST BRIDGEWATER.

The southwest portion of the ground was first used ; this probably belonged to the donation of " one hun- dred rods" given by Samuel Allen, Jr., and left by his father, Samuel, Sr., for the use of the inhabitants, possibly in 1703, and another gift of " one hundred and twenty-one rods" from Matthew Allen, son of Samuel, Jr., in 1759. Much interest centres in this ancient resting-place as belonging to the earliest period of our history before town organization. In " Latham's Epitaphs in Old Bridgewater"1 (1882), there is a large number of curious and interesting inscriptions given.

In 1845 the East Bridgewater Cemetery Corpora- tion was organized with Aaron Hobart, president, and a board of trustees. In compliance with votes then and thereafter passed by this body land was pur- chased of Solomon Ager and others, which, with sub- sequent changes, has brought the present area to em- brace about eleven acres. Its elevated position gives a fine outlook on the surrounding landscape, and its slopes and dells are beautified by a natural growth of fine trees. Much taste has been displayed in laying out and ornamenting the paths and avenues, and there are several handsome and substantial monu- ments in the newer part.

Elmwood Cemetery is situated on West Street, in Elmwood village. It was set apart for burial pur- poses in 1846, and contained one and three-quarters acres of land. Standing a little aside from the busier part of the village, it is a quiet and attractive spot.

Near the Union Congregational meeting-house is a small burial-ground, used since 1842. The first in- terment there was the body of Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Deacon John Soule, who died in that year.

Beaver Cemetery was given, in 1809, by Zecha- riah Shaw, to Beaver district. John Tirrell was the first person there buried (1809).

Northville Cemetery is a small burying-ground at Northville, first used in 1855.
