Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genealogies of the Families of Cohasset, Massachusetts: Compiled Under the Direction of the Committee on Town History In 1896, when Rev.E. Victor Bigelow, a member of the committee on Town History, volunteered to write a history of the Town of Cohasset, Mr. and Mrs. George L.Davenport were engaged by the committee to write a Genealogy of Cohasset Families. The narrative history was completed and published in 1898, but the genealogy requiring infinitely more research, it was not possible to publish it with the earlier volume, and it was not until October, 1908, that the book was ready for the press. In the ten years that have elapsed since the publication of the history, there have been some changes in the town, and the committee on Town History have taken advantage of the opportunity to bring the History up to date. In the narrative history subjects were omitted which might properly have been included; we have therefore added a number of chapters containing matter which it is believed is of sufficient importance to be preserved. We wish to acknowledge our obligation to those who at their own expense have furnished half-tones for many of the illustrations, and especially to Mr, Russell B.Tower, who has made from old oil paintings several negatives from which half-tones have been made.
