Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the Town of Fairhaven: Massachusetts Prepared in Connection With the Celebration of Old Home Week July 26-31, 1903 This book has been prepared by the Committee on Town History of the Fairhaven Old Home Week Association in obedience to instructions from the Executive Committee of the Association. The recital of the story of its origin, progress, natural beauties, accessible locations, municipal improvements, and educational opportunities is made in the earnest hope that it will invite the capitalist, the artisan, the tradesman, the person of leisure, and the man of family to become a resident. If this brief sketch of a notable past and a live and active present shall create a closer acquaintanceship between its sons and daughters, who have gone forth and made their homes elsewhere, and those who remain in the old town it will have served a worthy end. The committee express their obligations to all who have assisted with information for the preparation of these pages, and especially to C. D. Waldron, Edward G. Spooner, Herbert D. Burke, Helen B. Copeland, Joseph G. Tirrell, and Henry W. Taber for the loan of negatives, photographs, and cuts for the illustration of this book.
