200th Anniversary
Celebration of Chester, New Hampshire
From the
History of Chester, New Hampshire (including Auburn),
a Supplement to the History of Old Chester, published in
1869, compiled and published by John Carroll Chase (1926).
The way a
community celebrates its important anniversaries is often a
reflection of the way the town sees itself. Chester, nearly a
century ago, saw itself as a community where such an event
required documentation for the ages. These seventy pages, more
or less, about the 200th celebration in Chester,
include the texts of speeches that were given back in those days
of attention spans that were measured in tens of minutes instead
of seconds, lists of committees that worked on the celebration,
photographs of the committee leaders, notes from distinguished
sons (and daughters) of the community who could not attend the
celebration, and a chronology of the celebration itself. Things
were indeed different in 1922. Download now, in PDF

Genealogies of Chester, NH
From
the History of Chester, New Hampshire (including Auburn), a
Supplement to the History of Old Chester, published in 1869,
compiled and published by John Carroll Chase (1926).
Chapter 16 (this
one) from this history has a number of genealogies of local
families. The opening sentence directs to reader to Chase’s History
of Old Chester for earlier generations, which suggested to us that
we would find a smattering of late 19th and early 20th
century people here. Well, we were mistaken; there is extensive
genealogical material in these pages, and it’s apt to be the kind
that is hard to find today – the generations that link the early
settlers to their descendents around the country. Also included are
photographs of the following individuals: Charles C. Grant, Mr. &
Mrs. George P. Griffin, George Cochrane Hazleton, Gerry Whiting
Hazelton, John Adams Hazelton, the Rev. James Holmes, Col. George A.
Hosley, Charles H. Knowles, Henry H. Lane, Cyrus A. Marston, Hon.
Thomas J. Melvin, Lydia A. (Stevens) Newell, Hon. John W. Noyes, and
the Rev. Theodore C. Pratt, as well as some photos of milestones
around the community. See our Genealogies page for surnames included. 130+ pages, PDF

Dover, Somersworth, Rochester and Strafford County, NH
Directory for 1905, by Bass & Co.
(882
pages)
This is a massive city/county directory of an interesting area of New
Hampshire. As well as many advertisements, it includes separate listings
of residents (including occupations) and businesses for each of the locales in
the title. Also present is a classified business directory and a street
directory. This is definitely a useful document for a local historian, a
genealogist seeking mid-decade information not available in the US Census, as
well as for people who simply have an interest in this area. It is
fortunately free of the boilerplate articles some directory publishers of the
period used to pad their offerings. We have not
yet scheduled this directory for publication. Please let us know if it is
of interest to you (with no obligation to buy).

History of
Chester, NH, including Auburn. A supplement to the History
of Old Chester.
This 1926 volume, compiled by
John Carroll Chase, was prepared for the 200th anniversary of
the Town of Chester. 535 pages long, it could become a
series of downloads or a single CD-ROM. Our inclination is
to take the download route with this volume as the chapters lend
themselves to this treatment. Some sample chapters include
the bicentennial celebration, church histories (including
membership lists, pastors, and some baptisms, marriages and
deaths), local soldiers in wars from the Revolution to World War
I, professional and civic lists, cemetery inscriptions (several
cemeteries), biographies and genealogies, and considerably more.
We're publishing this in sections; those done to date are above.
Please do let us know if you are interested in our efforts in
re-publishing New Hampshire material.
