Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...version. In 1782, 6 were added to the minister's salary. In February, 1793, Mr. Holyoke had a stroke of paralysis, from which, although he preached occasionally during the rest of that year, he never fully recovered. Although he was able to perform none of the duties of pastor, his salary was continued and no successor was appointed.
