A Sketch of the Life of Major Ezra Beaman : Together with Documents of Public Interest (Classic Reprint) by Albert A Lovell
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life of Major Ezra Beaman: Together With Documents of Public Interest
Seventy years have passed since the death of one who acted a prominent part in the history of three towns in central Massachusetts, and to this time an account of his life and services has remained unwritten. This may be accounted for in part by the fact that his history is embodied in that of separate towns and does not belong exclusively to either.
If it were necessary that the events of his life should have a "local habitation," it might well be given to the parent town of Shrewsbury, although Boylston and West Boylston may equally well claim the honor. It seems proper that the life of this man should be presented with whatever pertains to the history of Shrewsbury, for, although his abode through nearly his whole life was in one locality, he lived in three separate townships, the division and re-division of the territory which originally fell to the lot of Shrewsbury rendering such the case. Shrewsbury, staunch and true to every cause which tends to the advancement of religion, liberty and law, is and always has been a representative New England community, solid and substantial as the hills on which she rests. While she holds in grateful remembrance the name of Ward, the first commander of our infant army in the war of the Revolution; of Sumner, the beloved pastor who led his flock by the still waters of happiness and peace; of Gushing, the military leader in the struggle for freedom; she is not unmindful of the services of Ezra Beaman, the patriot and the man of enterprising public spirit, ever ready to defend the colonies from the encroachments of arbitrary power, and to do whatever tended to the advancement of the material prosperity of the community in which he lived.
