It may perhaps appear singular to persons
not acquainted with all the circumstances in refer
ence to this record; that there is no date annexed to
the names of those individuals who deceased pre
vious to 1810_or to the greater portion of them
|
|
The number of persons recorded on each page
will will usually be found inserted at the
bottom
|
|
The reasons why those names recorded previous
to that time are not not better arranged,
according to their several dates + the dates of
their decease in more instances correctly no-
ted are the following—
|
|
|
|
|
There never was a legally organized Religious So
ciety in this Village previous to 1830 altho
there was a regurarly organized Church as ear
ly as 1769–70 — Neither was there a Clergy
man that considered himself as strictly set over
this Church + people_+ as solely devoted to them
until Oct 5th 1831
|
|
|
|
|
Previous to 1804 No record of deaths was ever kept
at all save what was kept in the Church records
embracing only the names of those that
were members of that body
|
|
|
|
|
In AD 1797 I had collected the names of all those per
sons who had died prior to that date and
|
| page 6 |
page 7 |
| kept an accurate record for the succeeding 10 years. |
|
In the column devoted to the record of diseases
the following abbreviations may some times
be found
|
|
In the summer of 1807 the Register(with other pa
pers) was purloined from me + were concealed
or destroyed + Icould never afterwards recover
them

I considered my object as hopeless relative to furnishing
a Register of this description + abandoned
it for the three following years–
|
|
|
|
By the solicitations of some valuable friends I was
induced to recommence it in 1810
|
|
|
|
From my own personal recollection previous to that
year + from extraneous assistence + from the
prompt record which I have ever uniformly
kept since, I indulge the humble belief,
that this Register relative to the number
of individuals deceased _ with the date of their
decease whenever it is inserted + the diseases
likewise that closed their days, is substan
tially correct—
|
|
|
|
That it is so, I have the sanction of several per
sons who are abundantly competent to
to decide in the case + whose veracity can
not be questioned_ Wm W Dewey

In the Summer of this year Typhis Fever com
menced suddenly + spread rapidly The two cases noted
were almost the first + were very violent + quickly fa
tal – The circumstance was productive of a pretty gen
eral consternation – Within a short time it was ru
mored that there was 60 cases at one + the same
time –. It is certain that many were very unwell
at the same time but probably every person that
was somewhat unwell suspected that theirs was
certainly a case of Fever – The alarm subsided
in ten or twelve days – + all were comfortably
convalescent within a month from the first alarm --
+save in the two fatal cases was any one kept down a fortnight

Mr Kimball was instantly killed from the accidental
discharge of a Cannon. The piece had just been dischar
ged, but in their haste to reload to see how rapidly
they ^could reload + discharge they neglected to wet + apply
their sponge as they ought to have done + the which
was the most consummate piece of carelessness possible
+ some fire was still remaining in the gun + in pressing
down the second charge, it exploded + consummated
its work of death. Two other individuals were very
seriously mangled by the same explosion.
When will this savage custom of noise + powder burning cease?

The tables below represent two loose sheets of paper, each double-sided, included
in the journal.

Sheet 1, Front
The Revd Mr Brigham who died Septr 27th was a Methodist
Clergyman who came here past recovery on purpose to die here
+ leave his family here - + he cannot be with propriety reckoned
as one of the permanent population
The child ^Coffee burned to death. Its cloths accidentally took
fire while both parents were out + no one in but chil
dren - + before help could be had the child was burned past
all help – A few days afterwards a person called into the
same house + found the parents both out + the rest of the
children in by the fire – to burn more of them to death if possible
|
|
Sheet 1, Back
The Miss Hadducks were daughters of Proffr C B
Hadduck - It may be seen by a reference to the en
closed between these two pages that altho an unusual variety
of diseases that have terminated fattally have this year
congregated here – yet not even five of all can be brought
forward in Justice to decide the health of the place as far
as climate or atmosphere can have any influence in the
case – as in no case but fever has climate or atmos
phere any connection or influence in Hanover than
they had with the climate in India
|
|
Sheet 2, Front
Mr Brainard who died on the 5th of Augst had for seve
ral years been sorely afflicted with an ulcerated shoulder
+ which ^was very painful + had reduced him so low + render
ed him so helpless – that longer life seemed scarcely desira
ble – The bone had become very carious + some new
bone was forming. He might have continued lon
ger – but a sudden attack (as I am advised by his
attending Physician) of Chronic Diarrhoea was
the immediate cause of his decease.
Mr Rogers in a fall from a building received an
an injury in the spine which caused his death.
|
|
Sheet 2, Back
Dr Brown who died April 21st came here
from Lowell apparently almost gone with
Consumption + as it were just in time to
die here - + Mr Currier who died of Cancer was
not a resident here but a mere transient visitor
Altho our Bill of Mortality has never save in
1797 + 1843 numbered so many as this year yet ta
king all the connecting circumstances into the
account there has been no uncommon un
healthiness incedent to our Parish beyond the
common average of bygone years --
