Excerpt from Epitaphs From Graveyards: In Wellesley (Formerly West Needham), North Natick, and Saint Mary's Churchyard in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts; With Genealogical and Biographical Notes

As to military service, the volumes issued from time to time by the Commonwealth and by the various patriotic societies, render it unnecessary for me to give details. The town report for 1898, published in 1899, contains a list with particulars of forty-six soldiers of the Revolution from Needham, whose burial places are known. This list was prepared by the writer, who with the Select men was the Committee on the Graves of Revolutionary Soldiers,' and placed the S. A. R. Markers.

The fact that a man held even a minor town office in the last century, or the early part of this one, I have thought worthy of preservation and have introduced considerable town history. I am aware that this collection is unique and perhaps includes irrelevant matter, but I believe that it will be valuable in the future.
