Excerpt from History of Gardner: Massachusetts, From Its Earliest Settlement to 1860
This work was left unfinished by the author at the time of his death; he had collected together most of the scattered materials of which it is composed, leaving it in a form, that little else was to be done but to prepare it for the press.
In putting this work together, I may fail to mention some things that ought to be recorded, for want of information. I have taken considerable pains to learn what I could with regard to the Town since its formation as such, to the present time.
A very interesting part of the history of some towns will be lost sight of here; I refer to those places that were once settled by the Indians; some of them were one hundred and forty years previous to the incorporation of this town.
To you who have given your patronage by kindly furnishing us with statistical and other facts, with regard to the ecclesiastical, the manufacturing, the mechanical, and other interests of the people here, I would return my sincere thanks.
