Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 2., The second Congregational and Mystic churches. (search)
longest enjoyed by any Congregational minister in Medford since the decease of Doctor Osgood. He was a faithful, whole-souled, and energetic worker, and allowed nothing to come between him and the performance of what he conceived to be his duty. He was endowed by nature with a sound mind in a sound body, which enabled him to manage successfully several very important undertakings in which his parish became involved. The church edifice was remodelled and refitted in 1853, and again in 1860, and then supplied with an organ. Disaster, however, awaited the structure, for on September 9 of the last-named year it and all it contained was reduced to ashes. Nothing daunted, Mr. Marvin took the laboring oar and urged on the erection of a new building, which was completed and dedicated June 12, 1861. A new organ was purchased and also the bell which that year had been carried in so many a street parade during the campaign in which Bell and Everett were candidates for President and Vi

Another time she wrote him, I have $400 to my credit at my publishers, for my book Looking toward Sunset; please get it and give it to the freedmen. My personal acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Child began a little before this, in the troubled times just before the Civil war, and just after what was called the John Brown raid. Mr. and Mrs. Child spent that winter of 1859 and 1860 in Medford, with their friend Miss Lucy Osgood, and we met them frequently. It was an anxious winter. Abolitionists were hated, ostracized, and mobbed. Wendell Phillips went to and from his lectures surrounded by a body-guard of young men, self appointed to protect him from the violence which was constantly threatened and sometimes attempted. Even sedate, conservative Medford shared in the disturbance. On one memorable occasion one of the few abolitionists in the town, warmly seconded b

, the predecessor of the present Bostonian Society. Mr. Whitmore became, in 1854, a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and served on its various committees and boards of directors and as an editor of the Register, to which he contributed a large number of valuable and important articles and genealogies, many of which have been reprinted. He contributed, in 1855, the genealogical portion of Brooks' History of Medford. In literary lines, wholly or in part, he edited in 1860 the works of William Mackworth Praed; in 1865 the Hutchinson Papers; in 1867 the Dunton Letters; in 1868 the American Genealogist; in 1869-74 the Andros Tracts; in 1870 the Massachusetts Civil List; in 1878 Copp's Hill Epitaphs; in 1882 the History of the Old State House. These are esteemed standards and do not include all of Mr. Whitmore's publications. Mr. Whitmore exercised a large and influential interest in the municipal affairs of Boston. For eight or ten years he was a member of t
