THE TALEBEARER

Records of the Hexahedron Society, 1819

Theodore D. Woolsey, Leonard Bacon, Alexander C. Twining, James McIlhenny, and Chester Isham, all members of the Brothers in Unity Society, formed the Hexahedron Society. Its purpose was "to manufacture a soul for the inanimate corporation of said society" i.e. Brothers in Unity. Each one of the above was to be a talebearer "to note and sorely to censure every thing which [he saw] amiss either in word or deed."
