Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Brookline Historical Society at the Annual Meeting, January 28, 1902
While we are gratified at this favorable result, we are pained to record that two members, who gave promise of usefulness to the Society George W. Armstrong and Dr. Edward Steese, - have passed on to fields of labor in a higher Sphere, and have become first on the roll of our honored, but lamented, dead.
There has been received for membership fees to date, and there has been paid out for expenses leaving a balance in the treasury Of with a number of mem hership fees yet unpaid.
The Society may well feel proud of its achievements in the first nine months of its life and history, which give promise of still greater in the future.
Three valuable historical papers have been read before the Society at its meetings since its, incorporation, one upon the Devotion family, another upon Elhanan Winchester and family, and the third upon the Walnut-street Burying Ground. It is hoped by your Board Of Directors to have a paper read at each stated meeting in the future upon some topic relating to Brookline history.
