Excerpt from A Sermon Preached by Jaazaniah Crosby, D.D: March 25, 1860, the Day Which Completed Fifty Years of His Ministry at Charlestown, N. H On the 30th of December, 1864, there occurred in Cambridge, Mass. the death of a man whose services deserve to be registered in some worthier testimonial than the following simple sketch. Whatever may be its inadequacy, however, we have at least this reflection for a compensation, that the more modest and simple the memoir which records his life, the more it will accord with the wishes and unassuming character of the deceased. The person of whom we speak is the Rev. Dr. Jaazaniah Crosby, who was, for over fifty years, the pastor of the Unitarian Society at Charlestown, N.H., where he earned a name, which, if less widely known, is no less honored than that of many who have labored in larger spheres of usefulness. Dr. Crosby was born in Hebron, N.H., on the 3d of April, 1780. He was the son of Jaazaniah and Elizabeth Crosby. His father was from Billerica: his mother was from Pepperell. Very few incidents can now be gathered of his early life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
