EDITED BY ROLLIN HILLYER COOKE, // Genealogist, Author of Picturesque Berkshire County, Member of the Berkshire County Historical and Scientific Society, and Secretary OF the Berkshire County Chapter, Massachusetts Society, Sons of the American Revolution. And so it i?, too, with family recollections. To have had forefathers renowned forhonorable deeds, to belong by nature to those who have bravely borne their part in Hfeand refreshed the world with mighty thoughts and healthy admiration, is a privilegewhich it were mean and self-willed to despise.
