Elias Nason, July 4, 1876 A meeting of citizens called by notices from the pulpits on the Sabbath previous, was held in the Town Hall, Billerica, June 6, 1876, to see what measures should he taken for the fit celebration of the coming Fourth of July, the nation's Centennial. After consultation, the following Committee of Arrangements: Was appointed, with full powers to make such provision as they found practicable and expedient at so late a day. They were fortunately able to secure the services of the Rev. Elias Nason to give the oration, and other arrangements will be indicated in the following brief account of the exercises. The celebration was held in a beautiful pine grove on the farm of Gardiner Parker, Esq., beside the Concord River, near the Carlisle road. The intense heat, oppressive in many places, was tempered by a fresh breeze here, and the day was delightful for such a commemoration. Seats and stands for the orator and musicians were provided by the town, bountiful tables were spread by the ladies, and all was made very attractive to the goodly company of old and young assembled. At ten o'clock, the Hon. George P. Elliott, president of the day, called the meeting to order and in brief words suggested the great significance of the day and the hopes of the new century opening before the nation. Prayer was offered by the Rev. C. C. Hussey, the Declaration of Independence was read by Samuel Tucker, Esq., principal of the Howe School, and the Rev. Elias Nason delivered the following oration, which held the dose and unwearied attention of the audience to its close.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Rev. Elias Nason, A M Elias Nason, son of Levi and Sarah (Newton) Nason, was born in Wrentham, Massachusetts, April 21, 1811. "In looking over the genealogical papers in our old family Bible," he says, I discover that "I was introduced into this bright and beautiful world at two o'clock in the afternoon of the first Sunday after Easter." "The place of my birth was the southwestern chamber of an old farm house, situate about one mile east of the church and cluster of buildings, public and private, which form what is called the centre of the town." In his Gazetteer of Massachusetts, under Wrentham, he writes: The village at the Centre has an air of neatness, affluence, and unpretending beauty. His father, born in Walpole, Massachusetts, in 1779, was, at the birth of Elias, and about one year subsequently, an occupant of a farm in Wrentham, having carried on the business of a farmer from the time of his marriage in 1809. On the 7th of May, 1812, he removed to Hopkinton. In company with Mr. O.Gilmore, he purchased of Samuel Day, of Wrentham, a large lot of primeval timber, standing on Saddle Hill. The son says: They erected a dwelling house on the margin of Indian Brook, and occupied it for about two years, clearing up the forest, at the same time, and burning the timber into charcoal, or turning it into lumber at the sawmill of Dr. John Wilson, near by. In this house the father remained until the month of May, 1815, Mr. Gilmore having previously removed to the State of New York.

Download or read book Firsting and Lasting written by Jean M. Obrien and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across nineteenth-century New England, antiquarians and community leaders wrote hundreds of local histories about the founding and growth of their cities and towns. Ranging from pamphlets to multivolume treatments, these narratives shared a preoccupation with establishing the region as the cradle of an Anglo-Saxon nation and the center of a modern American culture. They also insisted, often in mournful tones, that New England’s original inhabitants, the Indians, had become extinct, even though many Indians still lived in the very towns being chronicled. InFirsting and Lasting, Jean M. O’Brien argues that local histories became a primary means by which European Americans asserted their own modernity while denying it to Indian peoples. Erasing and then memorializing Indian peoples also served a more pragmatic colonial goal: refuting Indian claims to land and rights. Drawing on more than six hundred local histories from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island written between 1820 and 1880, as well as censuses, monuments, and accounts of historical pageants and commemorations, O’Brien explores how these narratives inculcated the myth of Indian extinction, a myth that has stubbornly remained in the American consciousness. In order to convince themselves that the Indians had vanished despite their continued presence, O’Brien finds that local historians and their readers embraced notions of racial purity rooted in the century’s scientific racism and saw living Indians as “mixed” and therefore no longer truly Indian. Adaptation to modern life on the part of Indian peoples was used as further evidence of their demise. Indians did not—and have not—accepted this effacement, and O’Brien details how Indians have resisted their erasure through narratives of their own. These debates and the rich and surprising history uncovered in O’Brien’s work continue to have a profound influence on discourses about race and indigenous rights.
