Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Centennial History of Norway, Oxford County, Maine, 1786-1886: Including an Account of the Early Grants and Purchases, Sketches of the Grantees, Early Settlers, and Prominent Residents, Etc., With Genealogical Registers, and an Appendix
At the annual meeting of the town of Norway, held March 3, 1884, it was voted that there be written and published a history of the town, in view, not only of the fact that it was nearing its one hundredth anniversary, but to meet the desire for a more complete history than that which had been writ ten a long time previous, and which contained but a partial record of its earlier period. It was further voted that the sum of seven hundred dollars be raised and appropriated for this purpose.
The undersigned, as a committee, were also authorized to arrange for, and superintend the writing and publication of the work, and fully realizing the responsibility resting upon them, have endeavored to execute this purpose of their fellow-citizens to the best of their ability; and they most respectfully submit the work herewith, entitled Centennial History of Norway, written by Dr. William B. Lapham, whose services they were fortunately able to secure, and whose ability as a local historian is too well known to here require any encomiums.
