Excerpt from History of the Town of Hawley, Franklin County, Massachusetts, From Its First Settlement in 1771 to 1887: With Family Records and Biographical SketchesIt will be seen that an individual is but a link in the chain of human ity, that a lifetime, at the longest, is an hour on the dial, and that what ever we would that the past generations had done for us, it is our duty to do for those to come.The following pages will portray the origin, rise and progress of one of the rural towns, peopled with a noble race, early inculcating the prin ciples of virtue, temperance and religion. While we are forced to see its mild decay, we look with a degree of pardonable pride to those, past and present, who have been and now are wielding a power for good in the great drama of life. And while we regret the absence of so many from the ancestral acres and the paternal hearthstone, this fact must ever force itself upon us, that it is a good place in which to be born.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
