"New Milford. A memorial discourse, delivered in the Congregational church, New Milford, Conn., Sunday, July 9, 1876" by James B. Bonar is a record of a speech given back in 1876, looking back at the story of New Milford, Connecticut, and its church. Bonar's writing explores the town's beginnings in the 1700s, how it grew, and the different religious groups that formed. The speech goes into detail on the Congregational church, the impact of its leaders, and the town's involvement in running things and being part of the community. The book shows how the town and church were closely tied, helping each other through both good and bad times, and paints a picture of a place with a strong past that the people were proud of.
