Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomas Bridge First Minister of the Church in Fairfield At some distance from the main road, west from the village of Fairton, Fairfield township, is a grove of stately trees among the fertile fields, making, with glimpses of the river, a beautiful picture of living green in a charming landscape. The approach to the grove is through a modern cemetery. Before entering, we pause to read the inscription on a handsome granite monument erected to commemorate the early settlers, who, in the seventeenth century founded here the Church of Christ. The monument bears the name of their minister, Rev. Thomas Bridge. On entering the grove there can be seen through the subdued light filtering through the leaves, the grave stones of some of the early inhabitants of this region, men and women, who long ago, lived, moved, and acted their part in life´s little drama near this secluded retreat. Here by the Cohansey and in this neighborhood, Rev. Thomas Bridge spent several years of his eventful life; "a most improving school of patience to him," it proved, to quote a learned divine who became his friend in the larger field to which he removed. The religious character of the Connecticut settlers of Fairfield was one of the important factors leading to the settlement of Mr. Bridge among them. Without that essential element of godliness and piety, it is doubtful if Cumberland County would have the honor of claiming him as one of its distinguished early residents.
