Excerpt from History and Records of the First Congregational Church, Hanover, Mass;, 1727-1865, Vol. 1: And Inscriptions From the Headstones and Tombs in the Cemetery at Centre Hanover, Mass;, 1727-1894
In closing this preface I wish to especially commend this volume to all who have time to make a careful study of it. Many will find much to give them light on the characters who lived in this country town a cen tury ago, and who had such difficulty in getting the wayward members back to the fold, in keeping the small boy quiet, and in raising enough money to support the minister. They were responsible for the present generations; do we all realize that we are equally responsible for the coming generations.
