AcknowledgementsACKNOWLEDGEMENTSIn compiling the material for this book of Salisbury history,I have spent many hours in several libraries looking atmicrofilm, scrapbooks and books on local history. Time hasbeen spent at the Essex Institute, the Registry of Deeds inSalem and in our own town hall. I have interviewed severalof our outstanding citizens, gathered pictures and takensnapshots. I have also received help from many local residents.My appreciation goes to N. Neal Pike, Annie Dawson,Karl Pettengill, Dorothy Eggleston, Rachel Twomey, GailLyons, William Fowler, Joseph and Greta Charles, KendellEaton, Henry Walker, Grant Morse and Vincent Nobregar. Ialso wish to thank Wilma Mahoney for letting me spend somany hours in her office looking through town reports andthe good people at Harborside Printing Company, whoseefforts helped this book along so well.I have tried to fill in some of the town’s history that didnot appear in the first book of Salisbury history, On TheseThings Founded. It was also my wish to bring this book upto date with the events of the town’s 350th Birthday Celebrationin 1988.While I am certain there is still more history not yetrecorded, it is my intent that these two books will give afairly accurate account of our town of Salisbury.Carolyn Sargent1991vii
