History of Candia Once Known as Charmingfare With Notices of Some of the Early Families - Classic Reprint Author:Francis Brown Eaton Excerpt from History of Candia: Once Known as Charmingfare; With Notices of Some of the Early Families — On the Fourth of July, 1848, It fell to my lot, by invitation, to read to a few bf my fellow townsmen, a sketch of the history of Candia. — A copy was requested for publication. Being by no means satisfied with the information which a few weeks... more » labor had collected, I thought proper to decline the request.
Four years have since passed, during which time I have, as opportunity offered, given attention to the subject, and as it seems now to be the very general wish of the citizens of Candia that something of the history of the town should be published and placed within their reach, I have not felt at liberty to disregard those wishes.
The events related, however trivial and common-place they might seem to strangers, I am sure will possess a certain degree of interest to every native born dweller in Charmingfare. Although few in number compared with what one would wish to see, yet the facts here offered were difficult of attainment, and the indulgence of the reader is asked towards any errors which may be discovered.
I take this occasion to express my sincere and most hearty thanks to those who have manifested an interest in this matter, and who have aided and encouraged me in its prosecution. Their number, only, prevents the insertion of their names in this place.
For the time devoted to this matter, and the expense necessary for its completion, I shall feel amply compensated if by any exertion of mine a small part even of the early history Of my native town be preserved from the forgetfulness into which it is fast passing.
