Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rev. Noah Worcester, D. D: With a Preface, Notes, and a Concluding Chapter In An Address delivered on the Centennial Celebration to the People of Hollis, N. H., Sept. 15th, 1830, by the Rev. Grant Powers, there is a notice of Noah Worcester, Esq. And his family, from which the following extract is made. The daughter of Mr. Taylor [one of the first settlers of Hollis], married Noah Worcester, Esq., whose memory is with us to-day as one of the fathers of the town for a long series of years. He had an active and vigorous mind, was one of the framers of the Constitution of this State, sustained the office of magistrate for more than forty years, and was a member of this church more than sixty years. Mr. Worcester and his wife [his first wife] had seven children, and of their posterity eighteen have either received the honors of college, or are now members of New England colleges. Eight are, or have been, ministers of the Gospel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
