Report on Town History.


Our work during the past year has been of the same order as the year preceding. A good degree of progress has been made consid- ering all circumstances.


The genealogical and biographical departments have received much attention. The records of nearly a hundred family names are prepared for the printer; also several articles are nearly ready in the other departments. The church history has received much attention, also the military, and considerable material has been collected for the educational department.


Much time has been devoted to all of the above; but only a part of it has been reckoned in our account, so anxious are we to mini- mize the expenses and accomplish results.


We would suggest and urge our fellow-townsmen to a deeper interest in the work. It is worthy of it. Come and examine your family records, and see if they are correct.


W. H. CHILD, Historian.
