Named in the 1890 county history

The history of Middlesex County was published 5 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The two parishes already spoken of were for some years the only religious organizations in the town of West Cambridge. The Universalist Society was the next to be established there. If we may judge by the above-quoted obituary notice of Rev. Mr. Cooke, there would seem to have been in his day persons holding tenets similar to those of that denomination. Certain it is, that in the decade preceding 1840, such views were becoming so prevalent as to give serious anxiety to those of the First Parish who held to a difl'erent opinion, as to the probability of that ancient society becoming a Universalist church.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Marlborough, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
