The town appropriated the other five hundred dol- lars, and directed that as a token of their esteem for the generous donor, it should be called the "Fay Library."

In 1870, April 20th, Col. Fay donated to the town the additional sum of one thousand dollars, for the benefit of the library. There is now a fund of fifteen hundred dollars in the hands of the trustees of the library, the interest of which, with various other items contributed and appropriated, enable the trustees to expend about two hundred dollars annually for books. There are now in the library five thousand six hundred and thirty-five volumes. The people of Southborough have great cause to hold in fond remembrance the

names of aforesaid donors; and not only we, but, in future years, full many a son and daughter, who shall inhabit this land, read books and learn in this school, -looking back, perhaps, through time's long vista,- will also exultingly claim these donors as their im- mortal henefactors.

In 1865 the St. Mark's School was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth, and was founded for the classical education of boys. Its course of studies is prepared with the purpose of giv- ing a thorough preparation for the admission to the universities and colleges of the country. It is a school for the Episcopal Church, and its order and management are in conformity with the principles and spirit of the Church. Its scholars number about sixty, and are required to board at the institution. It is said to be one of the most thorough and best-dis- ciplined schools in the State. The establishment of this school and the erection of the beautiful Episcopal Church are the results of the great enterprise and perseverance of our honored and esteemed fellow- citizen, Dr. Joseph Burnett. The school is under the management of the following officers:

Episcopal Visitor .- The Right Rev. Benjamin H. Paddock, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Massa- chusetts.

Board of Trustees .- Rt. Rev. B. H. Paddock, D.D., Rev. D. C. Millett, D.D., Rev. George S. Converse, A.M., Rev. Thomas R. Pynchon, D.D., Joseph Bur- nett, Esq., Joseph Story Fay, Esq., Francis C. Foster, Esq .. H. N. Bigelow, Esq., Rev. S. U. Shearman, George P. Gardner, Esq.

Head Master .- William E. Peck, A.M.

Treasurer .- Joseph Burnett, Esq.

Dr. Joseph Burnett was born in Southborough, November 11, 1820. He married Josephine Cutter, June 20, 1848, by whom he has had twelve children. He received his education from the common schools in Southborough and the English and Latin schools in the city of Worcester, commencing business as an apothecary in that city, where he remained two years. He then removed to Boston, where he continued the business for several years. He is now a mannfactur- ing chemist of great notoriety.

The beautiful appearance of the Centre Village is largely due to his benevolence, influence and taste. In 1840 the town built its first town-house. Previous to that time the town-meetings were held in the church of the First Parish Society. Said town-house cost about $4,000. It was burnt in 1869. Without delay the inhabitants proceeded to erect another. The present handsome, substantial and commodious brick town-house was built in 1869-70, at a cost, io- cluding fixtures and furniture, of about $30,000. The building committee, consisting of Dr. Joseph Bur- nett, Dexter Newton, Dr. J. Henry Robinson, Frank- lin Este and Curtis Hyde, delivered the keys thereof to the selectmen April 20, 1870. In 1824 the young men organized a lyceum. Hon. Francis B. Fay was 7

president of the same for several years. This is said to be one of the first lyceums ever formed in this vicinity. One of the most exciting dehates partici- pated in by the then young America was : " Is an untruth ever justifiable?" Disputants appointed in the afhrmnative were Peter Fay and Blake Parker ; negative, Joel Burnett and Brigham Witherbee. The discussion waxed warm. The disputants, pro and con, fought the battle inch by inch during the allotted time. Question was finally decided on its merits, in the negative. This lyceum accomplished much good.

Another lyceum was formed in 1842. Its members at one time numbered forty-four. Many momentous questions were considered. Interesting and instruc- tive free lectures, through their exertions, were given to the public. Southborough has raised many noble men and women, and several distinguished scholars.

The following is a list of those reared in town who have availed themselves of the benefits of a college- education, viz .: Jeroboam Parker, graduated at Har- vard in 1797, became a minister; Nathan Johnson, graduated at Yale in 1802, judge of Court of Common Pleas ; Sherman Johnson, graduated at Yale in 1802. minister ; Luther Angier, graduated at Amherst in 1833, minister ; Marshall B. Angier, graduated at Yale in 1834, minister ; Henry M. Parker, graduated at Harvard in 1839, teacher ; Joel Burnett, graduated at Harvard Medical in -- , physician ; Waldo I. Burnett, graduated at Harvard Medical in 1849, natu- ralist; Edward Burnett, graduated at Harvard in 1871, M.C .; Harry Burnett, graduated at Harvard in 1873, chemist ; Waldo Burnett, graduated at Har- vard in 1875, rector ; Clarence Thompson, graduated at Amherst in 1874, civil engineer; George E. Brewer, graduated at Amherst in 1874, insurance broker; Charles T. Murray, graduated at Dartmouth College in 1882, teacher ; Winfield Scott Hammond, graduated at Dartmouth College in 1884, teacher ; Charles C. Burnett, graduated at Harvard in 1886, railroad manager.

Jeroboam Parker, mentioned above, was for many years the minister in Southborough. Joel Burnett was a noted physician in the town, was particularly interested in her schools and was greatly honored and respected. He delivered the first lecture on the sub- ject of temperance given in the town. His son, Waldo I. Burnett, was a zealous student and became a distinguished naturalist. By the Boston Society of Natural History he was elected curator of entomol- ogy. In successive years he gained many of the prizes offered by said society. In the winter of 1851 he delivered, at the Medical College in Atlanta, Ga., a course of lectures in microscopic anatomy. In 1852 he prepared the essay which received the prize from the American Medical Association. He died of consumption July 1, 1854, in the twenty-sixth year of his age. From an address concerning his life and writings, delivered before the Boston Society of

HISTORY OF WORCESTER COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

Natural History, July 19, 1854, by Dr. Jeffries Wy- man, is taken the following extract: " We cannot but sensibly feel that in his death we have lost an associate of no ordinary talents; we can point to no other member of our society, and not more than one other naturalist in our country, who has given such proofs of zeal and industry, and who, in so short a life, has accomplished so large an amount of scien- tific labor. Had he been spared to future years, we cannot but feel the assurance that he would have ac- quired for himself a far higher place and still more honorable name in the annals of science. Let us cherish his memory and profit by his example."

The records of the town show that the people have always taken a forward rank in the cause of freedom. Capt. John Taplin went in command of a company of forty-nine men on the Crown Point expedition in 1756 ; was out from February 18th to December 20th. Capt. Aaron Fay commanded a company sent for the reduction of Canada, and was ont from March to November, 1758.

Capt. John Taplin was also out in this campaign. A number of Southborough men were out in the campaign of the last French and Indian War.

Dilenton Johnson was at Fort William Henry when it capitulated, August 9, 1757, and was exposed to the Indian barbarities of that terrible day. Elijah Reed and Joshua Newton, also of Southborough, were in that battle.

In 1765, in town-meeting, the following unanimous vote of instruction was given to their representative, Ezra Taylor, Esq .: "That you would in the most effectual and loyal manner firmly assert and lawfully maintain the inherent rights of the Province, that posterity may know that if we must be slaves, we do not choose by our own acts to destroy ourselves, and willingly entail slavery on them."

The military warrant, dated November 7, 1774, will be read with interest by the citizens of the town :

JOSIAH FAY Cap.

Capt. Josiah Fay's company of fifty-six minute men, who were disciplined and supported at the expense of the town, marched to Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775. Every able-bodied male citizen, sixteen years old and upward, was armed according to law. They were required to be in constant readiness to repel any attack of the enemy.

In town-meeting April 29, 1861, on motion of Syl- vester C. Fav, Esq., it was voted, unanimously " that the town is ready to respond to the proclamations of the President with every able-bodied citizen and every dollar, if necessary." The town furnished two hundred and nineteen brave and patriotic men, being thirty- three more than enough to fill her quota under every callof the President during the great Rebellion. Seven- teen of those men died in the service of their country, and these names appear on the monument erected to their memory. Said monument, erected on the com- mon in Southborough Centre, is of Fitzwilliam granite, and was built by E. F. Meaney, of Boston, from a design of A. R. Esty, Esq. It was dedicated January 1, 1867. It is twenty feet high. On the south (front) side are inscribed the words, "Erected by the citizens of Southborough ;" on the east, "In Memoriam;" on the north, "Our Country's Defenders;" and on the west, "Rebellion, 1861."

Patriots are here in freedom's battle slaio- Men whose short lives were closed with scarce a stain ; Men lovers of our race, whose labors gave Their names a memory that defies the grave.

This monu ment cost $1613.50, and was paid for mostly by subscription. Some of the money, how- ever, was contributed by various assemblies and so- cieties. Henry H. Peters, Esq., subscribed $500; Dr. Joseph Burnett, $100; the ladies, nearly $200; Curtis Newton, E. D. Rockwood, Peter Fay and S. N. Thompson, each $25; and ninety-two other persons contributed smaller sums. This town has a very per- fect record of her soldiers who enlisted in the late war. To William P. Willson, Esq., great credit is due for his alacrity and perseverance in its preparation and completion. The following is a list of the names of said soldiers :

Among the names of many prominent men of this town-part of whom are now living and the others have recently deceased-who have done much to promote its highest and best interests, are the follow- ing :

Moses Sawin purchased the grist and saw-mill and a small lot of land situate one-half mile west of Town Hall, in Southborough, of Deacon Gabriel Parker, in 1833. The year following he bought of said Par- ker seven acres of land adjoining same, and on south side of Mill Pond, and built thereon a spacious dwell- ing-house, barn and other buildings. The estate is now owued and occupied by Charles B. Sawin, youngest of his three surviving sons. Said Moses Sawin was a lineal descendant of a long list of millers. His ancestor, Thomas Sawin, was the third son of John Sawin, of Watertown, who was the father of the American Sawins. Thomas Sawin bought of the Natick Indian (a branch of the Massachusetts) fifty acres of land in South Natick, for which he paid ten pounds of lawful money. The following conditions were agreed upon in their transaction, viz .: The said Thomas Sawin was to build a mill on the premises for the grinding of corn, and he and his heirs and assigns were to maintain said mill forever, and on the other part it was agreed that there was to be no other corn-mill built in town without the consent of said Thomas Sawin, his heirs and assigns. Said mill remained in possession of said Thomas Sawin and his descendants from 1685 to 1833-one hundred and forty-eight years. Said Moses Sawin possessed and carefully preserved through life the curious old deed, signed and sealed by the Indian chiefs of whom his said ancestor purchased the land. They are now in possession of said C. B. Sawin, at the old home- stead, where antiquarians and others interested in curious legal documents can examine them.

HISTORY OF WORCESTER COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

Moses Sawin was thrice married. In 1820 he mar- ried Joanna T. Lane, of whom he had one child, Joanna L. Sawin. In 1823 he married Mary B. Morse, of whom he had eight children, viz .: John B., Mary B., Sarah C., Maria A., Moses M., Lucy A., Charles B. and James H. Two of these passed over the dark river in early childhood, viz .: Lucy A. and James H. Sarah C. died in early womanhood, August 9, 1853. Joanna L. (Mrs. Libby) died November 15, 1860. The other five children are still living, and earnestly laboring to carry forward the great principles of pro- gress and reform, which their father labored so assid- uously to promote. In 1852 said Moses Sawin mar- ried Mrs. Catharine A. Rice, who still survives him and is loved and cherished, as a good mother should be, by all his children. Mr. Sawin was an active and excellent citizen. He took a lively interest in town affairs, was a faithful member of the Board of Overseers of the Poor for many years, and was enthu- siastic in promoting the best interests of the town. He was very active in aiding the great temperance reform. When the clarion notes of William Lloyd Garrison rang through the land calling the nation to repentance for supporting and maintaining chattel slavery, Mr. Sawin did not hesitate to enlist in the great cause of humanity. He was convinced it was a sin against God and a crime against his brother man.

He had the courage to ask the members of the church to which he belonged to testify against the sin ; when his request was rejected he refused to com- mune with them as a church of Christ, and when, for this refusal, they cast him out of the church, he exultantly quoted to them the words of Christ, viz. : "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me." He was especially gratified that he had lived to see slavery entirely abolished ; it was what he had long labored for and sought. But the crowning glory of his latter days was in hearing his former opponents acknow]- edge the righteousness of his cause, and labor earn- estly with him in the overthrow of American slavery.

Mr. Sawin lived to a good old age (seventy-six) and died February 7, 1871, of rheumatism, after long and patient suffering.

John Thomas Cotton was the son of Rev. Ward Cotton and his wife, Rebekah (Jackson), and oue of the numerous descendants of John Cotton, first min- ister of Boston. Said John Thomas Cotton was the oldest of six children, born in Boylston, Mass., Feb- ruary 25, 1801. In youth and early manhood he had a long and severe sickness, which left him in a feeble condition, and although he lived to a great age, he never enjoyed good health. He was a very conscien- tious man, firm in his convictions, and was greatly beloved hy his fellow-citizens. He served as repre- sentative to the General Court for several years, and long held the office of town clerk of said Boylston. In consequence of the failing health of his mother, io whom he was entirely devoted, he was induced to

give up all public employment. His mother died October 11, 1854, after which he purchased a small place for a home and sold the old homestead in Boylston. He lived in Southborough in great con- tentment and comfort, near his sister (Mrs. Hannah S. P. Whitney), for near a quarter of a century. Though he lived alone, he was no recluse, but was very sociable and very fond of his neighbors and flowers. He spent his last days with his sister, and passed over the dark river to beloved ones beyond, October 17, 1884.

Peter Fay, Esq., was born in Southborough, Octo- ber 15, 1807. He married Roxanna Whipple, Decem- ber 29, 1829. She died November 28, 1853. March 15, 1858, he married Dolly Collins. By his first wife he had six children-two girls and four boys. He lived on the old homestead formerly owned by his father, Peter Fay-and which is now owned and occu- pied by Charles F. Choate, Esq., president of the Old Colony Railroad Company -- until March 1, 1855, having previously sold the same to Henry H. Peters, Esq. He then bought the Parker farm, which for many years was owned and occupied by the former ministers of the First Parish Society. He lived there about two years. He built the fine house in which he now lives in 1857. He has held many of the highest offices in town, and has received many honors from the citizens thereof. He represented the town at the General Court in 1845. He has served as selectman some nine years. He was very active, during the late war, in obtaining men to fill this town's quota under every call made by President Lincoln. He served on the Board of School Com- mittee about nine years ; assessor, one year; overseer of the poor, nine years; deacon of the Pilgrim Evan- gelical Church for about fifteen years. He settled the estate of his sister, Mrs. Dolly Bond, late of Shrewsbury, deceased. This estate amounted to over $100,000. He received great credit for his faithful- ness and energy concerning the settlement thereof.

On the old homestead he kept some forty head of cattle, and he took great pride in having extra nice ones. He made butter until 1840, and was the first farmer but two in town who sold milk to go into Bos- ton. He had fine apple orchards on his farm, which often yielded him one thousand barrels in a year. He was president of the first temperance society of South- borough for fifteen years.

Daniel S. Whitney was born at Danvers (now Pea- body) on February 4, 1810. He is one of the many descendants of John and Elenor Whitney, of Water- town, and the eighth in descent from the original stock. Mr. Whitney was early engaged in the great reforms of the century. In 1830, at the age of twenty, after listening to an address by the celebrated Dr. Pierson, of Salem, he signed a pledge to abstain entirely from ardent spirits as a beverage, and from that time he has labored on through all the phases of the great temperance reform abstaining from all

intoxicating liquors as a beverage. He still works on, hoping for and believing in the final triumph of this great canse of human progress.

In 1836, while keeping school on the Marblehead coast, he first listened to the Gospel according to anti- slavery. Samuel J. May was the heavenly-tongued apostle ou that occasion in the Branch Church of Salem, and from that lecture dates his interest in the great anti-slavery agitation begun three or four years before by William Lloyd Garrison. In the ranks of that grand army of freedom he was ever happy to be found. He was ordained as evangelist by the Massa- chusetts Association of Restorationists, and occupied pulpits as a supply for a few years. While thus engaged he became deeply interested in the nnder- taking of Rev. Adin Ballou, at Hopedale, Milford, Mass. This attempt to realize in actual life our highest conceptions of Christian principles was entered upon with great enthusiasm, and for eight years under several changes of business arrangements he joyfully labored on at the great moral problem. He still clings to the hope that under more favorable surroundings, and profiting by past experiences, what was there attempted will yet be accomplished. All the great reforms of the age-temperance, anti-slavery, peace, the equal rights of women with men, and the golden rule as the law of intercourse and labor-con- stituted the policy of this attempt to realize the ideal of the great Master. The weakness of the undertak- ing, was found in the joint stock property of the under- taking which placed the continuance of the experi- ment in a few hands, and so brought it to a premature end. But while it lasted it formed a grand stand- point for living souls to utter and live their highest convictions.
