Excerpt from History of the Town of Cornish, New Hampshire, Vol. 1: With Genealogical Record, 1763-1910
"How carefully should we secure the memorials, while we may, of the long procession of true-hearted men and women that have borne with many tears, toils and prayers the precious Ark of Gods Covenant, and of our liberties down to the present hour. We will not, we cannot forget those who toiled and dared and endured so much for God and for us." - B. W. Dwight.
"A town exists in its history. Take away the memory of the past, and what remains? Only a name. Take away the example of the recorded wisdom of the past, and what ray of light would be left for our guidance? What could we do but wander in the maze of perpetual childhood? If we are bound to respect the claims of posterity we likewise owe a debt to our ancestors." - Chipraan.
"He that is not proud of his ancestors, either has no ancestors to be proud of, or else he is a degenerate son." - From Walpole History.
"A people who do not look back to their ancestors, will not look forward to their posterity." - Burke.
In no way can the Divine Command, Honor thy father and thy mother, be so completely obeyed as in tenderly recording their deeds and words.
