An Important List

Cabinet Officers, Members of Congress, and Members of the Massachusetts Legislature, from Charlestown, covering One Hundred Years.

WAS glad to see in the last issue of The Charlestown Enterprise a list of persons who served in the Charlestown City Government, made out by William H. Whitmore, chairman of the record commissioners of the city of Boston, and published now for the purpose of obtaining information needful to carry out the design of the City Government to put in print short biographical notices of past officials. I have in my possession an interesting paper prepared by my friend, C. B. Tillinghast, the genial and obliging librarian at the State Library, and presented to me some time ago, which I have intended to place among the historical notices and recollections of the old town, and this perhaps is the best time to do so. It is valuable information, I am sure, and I trust it will be appreciated by those who will now have an opportunity to look it over and preserve it for future reference.
