A history of The Church of Christ
of Newbury and Haverhill at Coos"
the ancient title of the First Con-
gregational Church Of Newbury, is
being prepared, on behalf of the
church, by Frederick Wells of this
place, author of the histories of New
bury, Ryegate and Barnet. This is
the second oldest church in the state,
the one at Bennington preceding it
by only two years. The early mem
bers included some of the first
settlers in other towns. who became
the first members of other churches,
and the work will, consequently, en-
brace much of the early religious
history of this. part of the state. The
compiler will be glad of any informa-
ton relating to the church, or any of
its members, or any data regarding
the religious history of Newbury.

her, vet with all her pain and

suffering.
