Excerpt from Centennial History of the First Presbyterian Church and Society Westfield, N. Y: Being a Compilation of Historical Papers, Given During the Centennial Celebration, December, 1908 Of its earliest history, the society has only a few records, stating the barest facts. Some papers and legal documents of value have been preserved by the descendants of Eber Stone. It has seemed most satisfactory that the follow ing chapter, covering the first thirty-seven years, should be largely devoted to those families from whom came officers in the society, either laymen or clergymen. Others there were who were just as faithful in the discharge of duty to the church. As the membership roll is reviewed, those longest in our connection will recall the faithful service of many others who deserve a record on these pages.
