Excerpt from Annals and Reminiscences of Jamaica Plain, 1897 This sketch was prepared by request to be read before the Jamaica Plain Ladies' Tuesday Club. Subsequently a desire was expressed to have it put in more permanent form and offered for sale at a Fair for the benefit of the Jamaica Plain Indian Association. Al though personally reluctant to appear before the public in this way, I have allowed my desire to aid a good cause and give pleasure to friends who have kindly received my paper to influence me in its publication. I am indebted to The Memorial His tory of Boston, to Drake's Town of Roxbury, to Dr Thomas Gray's Half Century Sermon, and to the memory of a few of the older residents for some of the dates and incidents given.
