COMMITTEE ON BROOKLINE HISTORY
To The Citizens of Brookline In Memory of the Early Fathers of the Town And of Their Descendants Wherever Located This History Is Respectfully Dedicated By The Author.
INTRODUCTION
This history of Brookline is the culmination of long continued desires on the part of its inhabitants that the acts and annals of the early settlers in the town, as well as those of the generations succeeding them, in order that they should inure to the edification and benefit of the generations yet to come, should be preserved in some durable and permanent form.
Its preparation for publication was authorized by a vote of the citi- zens at a town meeting holden on the 13th day of March, 1906. At the same meeting the selectmen were authorized to appoint a history com- mittee consisting of five citizens. The selectmen subsequently appointed the committee, and, soon after its appointment, the committee arranged with the undersigned to prepare the history for publication.
In presenting the completed work to his old time fellow citizens and to the public in general, for their and its approval, or disapproval, as the case may be, the compiler has but little to say by way of intro- duction.
For him the work of preparing it has been a labor of love; and now that his task is completed, he can only hope that it will not turn out to be a case of love's labor lost.
In the labor attendant upon its preparation, from beginning to end, the compiler has been actuated by a desire to produce a record history of the town. A history which, so far as possible, should depict the char- acteristic qualities of its people, as those qualities have been exhibited in their acts and procedure during the years of the town's existence.
With that end in view, the materials used in its compilation have, for the main part, been taken from the town's official books of records, the unofficial accounts, published and unpublished, of the acts of, and incidents happening to, its people; and from such of its traditions as, having survived the lapse of years, have come down to the present gen- eration stamped with such marks of authenticity as would seem to render them worthy of preservation.
In following out this line of procedure, care has been taken to keep as closely as possible to the language of the original text; quoting from the same freely, and oftentimes voluminously; especially in instances in
8
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BROOKLINE
which the subject matter relates to events and occurrences of more than ordinary interest to the people.
The result has been to produce a work in the construction of which, consideration is given to matters which would ordinarily be regarded as of minor importance-mere details-to an extent much greater than is generally customary in histories of this description.
At first thought, this phase in the work, i.e., redundency in the mat- ter of details, for obvious reasons, would strike many as being in the nature of a fault. But when one takes into consideration the fact that the life of a town, like that of an individual, is for the greater part made up of details, in the formation of which, at some period of his life every citizen is more or less actively engaged, it becomes apparent at once that, in the compilation of its history, matters of detail constitute a very important element for consideration. For the more voluminously and accurately they are spread upon its pages, the more thoroughly will its readers be able to comprehend the characteristic qualities of its inhabi- tants-the men and women from the details of whose lives it is in a great measure constructed.
In addition to the foregoing mentioned sources of information, re- course has also been had to the official records and public documents of the State and to the published histories of Towns in this vicinity and elsewhere, for such historical material relating to Brookline as could be gleaned from their pages; care being exercised in each instance to select for use only such materials as, from their actual connection with, and bearing upon the town and its people, were necessary to the complete elucidation of its history.
Thanks are also due, and the same are hereby gratefully extended, to Charles E. Spaulding and Cyrus F. Burge of Hollis, W. F. Bucknam of Woburn, Mass., and many others, for valuable information relative to the town and its people by them contributed to the work during the progress of its compilation; especially to Mr. Spaulding: to whose cour- tesy it is indebted for a considerable portion of its data relative to the families of some of the early settlers.
The incompleteness of the work in the matter of family records and genealogies will doubtless be a cause of regret to many of the citizens; and apparently justly so. But it must be remembered that in under- taking the task of preparing the history, those having the work in charge were not called upon to seriously consider that phase in its make-up relating to the preparation of family records, no appropriation for that purpose having been made by the town.
9
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BROOKLINE
But to the end that the history might not be wholly lacking in that respect, the town's history committee at the very commencement of the work caused to be prepared and. sent to all known representatives of the families of early settlers, the families of former citizens of the town and of those of its residents at the present time, circular letters, in which the recipients of the same were requested to prepare the vital records of their respective families and forward them to the committee for pub- lication.
To these circulars but a very small minority of the recipients made any response whatever. Of those who did respond the tables of statistics were, in the majority of instances, brief and incomplete. In but very few instances were the returns reasonably full and satisfactory; and the instances in which full and complete records or genealogies were returned could easily be counted on one's fingers.
The records and genealogies thus received all appear in the following pages. That there is not a larger number of them can, under the circum- stances, be justly attributed to no other cause than that of neglect or indifference on the part of those who, having had the opportunity of furnishing them, failed to comply with the committee's request to that effect.
In conclusion, the writer feels that the citizens of the town have a very proper cause for congratulating themselves in the fact that, by the publication of this work, upon the list of the names of New Hamp- shire towns whose histories have already been published, will hereafter appear that of their own town.
It is a little town, to be sure. Its history during the years of its exist- ence has scarcely created a ripple in the current of events by which the history of the state has been formulated. As a town it has no claims to any special marks of distinction over its sister towns in general. It has produced no men or women who have become particularly distin- guished in any line of action. But it can justly boast of having been the mother of many men and women whose qualities as citizens have been fully up to the average standard of New Hampshire crops in that line, and of a record for patriotism which is second to no town in this state. But above all -a fact which is especially to its credit -it is, and always has been a town for which the love and affection of its sons and daughters has never failed; and of which it could always be truthfully said-in the language once employed by Daniel Webster when speaking of his alma mater, Dartmouth College-"There are those who love it."
