Description:Excerpt from The Golden-Wedding Ring, Vol. 1 of 2: A Souvenir of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Marriage of John and Catharine Croll, to Be Celebrated October 29, 1887 It might be said that after a tree had stood for a century or more and endeared itself by its healthful fruit or its cooling shade, and after many of its branches had been broken off by ruthless winds, and the stem itself had yielded to the decaying influences of time and weather and been finally beaten down by a sweeping storm, that it were best to leave the old landmark lie and rot, trusting to its grafts on other trees, transplanted elsewhere, to perpetuate its memory and the character of its fruit. And yet we have known thoughtful hands, with almost sacred veneration, to take up out of the debris and marsh such fallen historic trunks and have them made into articles of furniture, or its branches into convenient relics to be handed down as heirlooms. So I have undertaken to erect once more the fallen family-tree, picture its outspreading branches to our eyes, indicate what has been the amount and the quality of fruit borne, and hang its outline as a relic upon the walls of this later generation. Although we fancy not that the dead tree will bless the world with fruit, yet it may teach the young sprouts to grow hardy and symmetrical. From my father, who was the oldest son of his parents and born in 1814, I have gained the information that enables me to trace back our ancestry to the first settling of this family in America. His information was handed down by his father. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
