Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Natick, From Its First Settlement in 1651 to the Present Time: With Notices of the First White Families; And Also an Account of the Centennial Celebration, Oct; 16, 1851, Rev. Mr. Hunt's Address at the Consecration of Dell Park Cemetery, &C., &C., &C
He felt exceedingly desirous that a history of the last thirty years, the most eventful of any similar period in the history of the town, should be blended with that of events in her earlier years, published and un published, and all presented in a connected form to the public, that the antiquarian and the annalist, and more particularly the people of the town, might have an opportunity of reading it without the labor of searching it out in its original resting-places.
He saw, or thought he saw, a probability that much valuable history would be soon lost, unless it was arranged and published and in multi plied copies placed in more secure receptacles than the drawers or attics of the actors in the events, or their descendants.
In short, it has been his desire to furnish each family with an accurate account of every event of importance and interest which has taken place in their own town since its settlement, and to place it beyond the reach of such accidents as a short time since destroyed the records of a neigh boring town.
