- Description:
-
Exhibit in auditorium of Charlestown Branch Library April-May, 1944. The framed cross-stitch depicts the monument from the beginning of Adams Street and the northern edge of the training field. The second house on Adams Street was probably the home for seventeen years of the Rev. James B. Miles, who was ordained and installed a pastor of the First Parish on January 2, 1855. According to Sawyer (pp. 424-5) he was very highly esteemed and was looked upon with great confidence and regard. He remained here 17 years and gave up his pastorate to take the position of Secretary of the American Peace Society. After this, in the interest of that society and of the association for the reform and codification of the law of nations, he made several visits to Europe and was becoming very popular as their representative and prominent in the discussions and movement.
