Excerpt from The History of Penacook, N. H: From Its First Settlement in 1734 Up to 1900 The history of the village of Penacook having never been fully recorded, the writer has undertaken to bring together such items of history as could be gleaned from earlier publications and from interviews with the older citizens. It is not expected that this shall be a complete narrative of the early and later days, events and people of the village, as the time that can be given to the work and the sources of information are both limited; but it is hoped that this effort may preserve some facts not before published. In addition to the articles prepared by the writer there are embodied in this work several articles written by Hon. John C. Linehan and published in the "History and Souvenir" of Penacook, 1899. Also a number of articles in the biographical section have been furnished by Colonel Linehan, and it may be said here that his writings on local history were the incentive to the present effort, and to whom the writer here records his grateful acknowledgment for his assistance. The writer also acknowledges his obligations to John S. Brown, Capt. Nath. Rolfe, Asa M. Gage, Hon. John Kimball, Col. Abial Rolfe, Charles Abbott, Geo. Frank Sanborn, Mrs. I. K. Gage, Miss Harriet Chandler, Miss Lucy K. Gage, and to all others who have furnished information for this book.
