Excerpt from History of Chester, New Hampshire, Including Auburn: A Supplement to the History of Old Chester Published in 1869 Regretful as it is to record, our history Of the past few years is one of decadence, so far as industry is concerned. The manu facture Of edge-tools, shoes and pails ceased several years ago, agriculture and fruit raising have shrunk with the population, and dilapidated dams are the only evidence of a great majority Of the busy mills of by-gone years. The opening of the electric railroad to Derry, in the closing years of the last century, was an important event for the town but the rapid increase Of automobiles presages its early demise, when one learns Of what is taking place in neighboring communi ties, and the coming generation may be using aerial transporta tion. The introduction Of electric lighting marks a recent step in the latter - day progress, the telephone having been installed so long ago that it is no longer a novelty.
