History Of Middlefield And Long Hill PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Middlefield and Long Hill No apology should be necessary in offering to the public any facts of interest hitherto unknown, or in presenting known facts systematized in a convenient manner for reference, yet in the presentation of this little work an explanation, scarcely less than an apology, is needed. More than ten years ago, our beloved father, Thomas Atkins, began collecting historical items and data, concerning Middlefield and Long Hill. Many of these were from personal observation and recollection, and from the stories of the old people, heard in his childhood and held by a memory unusually retentive. By birth he was directly descended from the earliest settlers both of Long Hill and Middlefield, and perhaps no one born within the limits of the town of Middletown ever had more general and intimate knowledge of its history, as handed down by word of mouth from one generation to another.
