Description:Excerpt from In Memoriam, William Frederick Poole: Born December 24, 1821, Died March 1, 1894 The more important historical works of Dr. Poole, published during this period of his life, were: The Popham Colony, a discussion of its historical claims, with a Bib liography of the subject, published in 1866; a reprint of The wonder-working Provi dence of Zion's Saviour in New England, with an historical introduction by Dr. Poole, published in 1867; The Popham Colony, printed in the North American Review, October, 1868 Anne Bradstreet, the Early New England Poetess, in the North Amer ican Review, 1868; and Cotton Mather and Salem Witchcraft, in the North Amer ican Review for April, 1869. In January, 1869, Dr. Poole resigned from the position of librarian of the Athenaeum and became a professional expert for the organi zation of libraries. Among those that he had under his charge at this time were the Bronson Library, at Waterbury, Conn; the Athenaeum, at St. Johnsbury, Vt.; the Naval Academy Library, at Annapolis, Md.; and the Public Libraries of Newton, Mass., Easthampton, Mass., and Cincinnati, Ohio. His connection with the Cincinnati Public Library, as organizer and librarian, continued from November, 1869, to January, 1874, and during this time he selected the books for and put into operation the Indianapolis Public Library. The building for the Cincinnati Public Library was begun a short time before he went to Cin cinnati, and the building was occupied in 1870. The library contained about twenty-two thousand volumes at that time, and had grown when he left it, in 1874, to about sixty thousand volumes. When he assumed charge of the library a new catalogue was begun, and this was finished in 1871, making a book of 656 pages. His work in the reorganiza tion and development of this library, as well as in the preparation of its magnificent cata logue, was such as to command the respect and admiration of all familiar with the facts.
