Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Society, Watertown, Massachusetts In 1888, after several conferences had been held of those interested in the formation of an historical society for all of the original township of Watertown, it was on July 3lst decided to form such a society. Accordingly on Nov. 20th, 1888, a meeting was held at the home of Dr. Alfred Hosmer for the formal organization of the society under a plan which had been prepared. There, gathered about the same table upon which the original call for the founding of the Public Library had previously been drafted, seven gentlemen met, and subscribed to the code of by-laws of the new society in the following order, viz.: Dr. Alfred Hosmer. Wm. H. Ingraham. Rev. Edward A. Rand. Solon F. Whitney. Charles Brigham. Dr. Bennett F. Davenport. Dr. Julian A. Mead. To these, at the next meeting were joined Rev. Wm. H. Savage, Herbert Coolidge and Joshua Coolidge, thus forming the ten original members of the historical society.
