Excerpt from Historical Discourse, Delivered at the Rededication of the Baptist Meeting-House, in Foxborough, Mass., January 22, 1879The rise and progress of Baptist sentiments in this town are included within the present century. In a brief sketch of the origin of this church by Warren Bird, he says, referring to something that took place in 1804: Brother Caleb Atherton and wife, who now resided in a remote corner, were, probably, at this time, the only baptized persons in the town. They lived in East Foxboro, about one mile from where the railroad station now stands, and were members of the Baptist church at Taunton Green. Mr. Atherton was blind, and yet, such was the devotion of this couple to their own church, that they were often seen, on Sunday morning, walking together to Taunton Green, twelve miles distant, and returning the same day. Such an example is worth remembering by the present generation of church members.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
