Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Northwestern Branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church Colleges and universities had Opened their doors to our young women, and when they came forth again fitted for wide, strong work somewhere, God's hand pointed to new wondrous fields all untilled, on the other side of the sea. In the fullness of time, March 22, 1869, there was born in the missionary world, the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Grand and impressive beyond all that is yet written will be that tre mendons chapter which shall unfold in heavenly story the birth and onward march, the mighty development and the momentous relation of that development to the interest, progress and salvation of the world. A task so wonderful and magnificent might fitly engage an angel's pen, for surely no power of human grasp could successfully reveal the triumphs of Christ's kingdom on the earth under this agency. Seventeen years only in existence! And what hath God wrought? Societies were organized in many places auxiliary to the one in Boston; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, contesting the honor with Rockford, Illinois, in pioneering in the North west, but Rockford records are proof of a seniority of three days, though notices for both organizations were read from their respective pulpits on the same Sunday. Mrs. Willing organized in Rockford, June 20, 1869, and Mrs. Hauser in Milwaukee, June 23. In order to add to the efficient working of the general Society, secure the co-operation of Methodist women throughout the country, it was determined to divide it into districts, each district to be represented by a branch society, with headquarters in its chief city. These Branches were organized in the following order Philadelphia, March 3, 1870; New England and New York on the same day, March 10; The north-western, March 17; Western, April 4; and Cincinnati, April 6. They are really so many different societies confederated under one central executive committee. In less than a year from the time when this new work was first given to Methodist women, the north-western Branch was organized in old Clark Street Church, Chicago, with 66 auxiliaries and members, and comprising the States of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Book Description
Hayward's New England Gazetteer contains descriptions of nearly 10,000 places-counties, towns, villages, rivers, bays, streams, islands, and so forth-scattered among this six-state region. The descriptions are full or spare, by design. However, at a minimum, the descriptions include, in the case of communities, the date of the locality's founding or incorporation, precise location, population and principal industry in 1837, and something about the history; or, with respect to bodies of water, they include its source and terminus, the region traversed by it, uses to which settlers have put it, and sometimes a historical anecdote that occurred there.
