COMMITTEE PLANS WORK
or COMPLETING NASH
HISTORY Of AUGUSTA

The work of completing the Nash
History of Augusta was tackled in
ernest Thursday evening by the COM
mittce appointed last Spring by the
Kcnnebec Historical Society. George
&. Clarke. President of the Historical
Society, called the committee togeth-
err and planced before them the I'M
finished manuscript and the complet-
ed Volume l OF the history. 1t was
soon discovered that the material
for Volume III was quite voluminous
and in need of a great deal of work,
both as to detail, correction of in
accuracies. addition of missing data.
and further compilation. There was
no outline of chapters left by the au-
thor. the late Charles +. Nash of
Augusta. Danforth l.. Nash, son of
the author and owner of the manu-
script, knew Of no definite plan of
organization that had been worked
out by his father, but the committee
belives that the authors ideaus can
be found by careful study Of that
portion of the work which he had
completed up to the days of failing
health which brought his efforts to
q close.
A study OF the vast amount of ma
terial gathered by Mr.. Nash reveals
the painstaking efforts that he must
have taken in producing his work.
Everywhere in his notes he has in
serted question marks against dates
and names which had not been re-
checked by the most careful COM
pnrison with other histories and
other records. One member OF the
committee predicted that it would
take twenty years to complete the
work II like methods were employed
with the missing families. not in
cludcd In the notes.
II Is early yet for the committee
TO formulate its policy but it is now
the plan to keep Mr.. Nash's work as
writto nby him. adding such facts as
may be necessary. The events that
were omitted and which have large
significance will be carefully written
following. as far as possible. the
style OF narration employed by the
author. Even under such methods.
l. will probably take months to COM
plete the work. But. in the opinion
Of the committee. the work Is well
worth the effort and is due to Mr..
Nash that the cummunity carry out
the labor OF love which he stated
and to which he devoted so many
hours without hope Of reward.
Those undertaking the work are
as follows: George c. Clarke. Mrs.
C, +. Penney Mrs. Herbert w. Hall
(rcneologist). a. w Stewart Gene
ologist), Mrs. Caroline NJ. Weeks.
