Excerpt from Litchfield and Morris Inscriptions: A Record of Inscriptions Upon the Tombstones in the Towns of Litchfield and Morris, CtHE publishing of this book is the result of a wish I have long entertained of placing in permanent form and thus preserving the rapidly disappear ing inscriptions upon the tombstones of my native town.Mr. Charles Thomas Payne, of New York City, a descendant of a number of the families who founded the Town of Litch field, cordially seconded my desires, and spent several summers transcribing them. This he has faithfully done for all prior to 1900, and many later inscriptions have been gathered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
