Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Epitaphs From Graveyards: In Wellesley (Formerly West Needham), North Natick, and Saint Mary´s Churchyard in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts; With Genealogical and Biographical Notes The inscription in an old graveyard are to me pathetic, impressive and interesting, the verses, sometimes crude, revealing the religious hopes and tastes of successive generations. Moreover having devoted much time during some of the best years of my life to the service of the Town of Needham, I have been led to search its venerable records in order to learn something of my predecessors. The epitaphs included in this volume, and those which I contributed to the Dedham Historical Register for April, 1899, were copied by me in the autumns of 1897 and 1898. In the genealogical and biographical notes I have utilized my large collection of memoranda copied from the Needham town and church records, and these are the sources of my information unless otherwise indicated. Only when it seems unavoidable have I availed of printed matter or copies. I am well aware that correspondence and the examination of town and church records outside of Needham would perfect my annotations, but it is not feasible for me to attempt more than I have done. That my work may be kept within reasonable limits, I have not located homes or described landed possessions. Old maps and the deeds recorded at Boston and at Dedham will in most instances furnish this information to those who care to investigate.
