Excerpt from History of Old Chester From 1719 to 1869 In my youth I was accustomed to hear my father, and other aged people, relate the incidents of olden time, in which I was always interested, and therefore remembered. When Dr. Charles Bell's "Facts in Relation to the History of Chester" appeared in the seventh volume of the N. H. His. Soc. Coll., it was so small in compass, containing little or nothing respecting the Long Meadows, I thought of collecting and preserving the traditional history of that part of the town. Upon mentioning the subject to the Hon. Samuel D. Bell, he insisted that we should have a history of the whole old town, and have it published, and wished me to undertake the work. I at first declined, but seeing that the alternative was presented of my doing it or having all the traditional part pass away and be lost, I at length consented, having the assurance of Judge Bell that he would aid me. He has done me the favor of perusing most of the work as it has been written, and has greatly aided by his advice and suggestions. Upon our comparing notes, our ideas have run nearly in the same channel. He furnished most of the materials for the notice of the grantees of Chester. I greatly regret that he did not live to see the work completed. I have endeavored to ascertain and show who the early settlers were, who their ancestors were, where they came from, the identical spot where they settled, who their children were, and what became of them. To do this, it was necessary to examine thoroughly the records of deeds and probate, and also to have a map of the town as laid out into lots, which is an important part of the history of the town. These locations are thus fixed for all time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of Chester, New Hampshire, Including Auburn: A Supplement to the History of Old Chester Published in 1869 Regretful as it is to record, our history Of the past few years is one of decadence, so far as industry is concerned. The manu facture Of edge-tools, shoes and pails ceased several years ago, agriculture and fruit raising have shrunk with the population, and dilapidated dams are the only evidence of a great majority Of the busy mills of by-gone years. The opening of the electric railroad to Derry, in the closing years of the last century, was an important event for the town but the rapid increase Of automobiles presages its early demise, when one learns Of what is taking place in neighboring communi ties, and the coming generation may be using aerial transporta tion. The introduction Of electric lighting marks a recent step in the latter - day progress, the telephone having been installed so long ago that it is no longer a novelty.
