Excerpt from History of Ancient Woodbury, Connecticut: From the First Indian Deed in 1659 to 1854, Including the Present Towns of Washington, Southbury, Bethlem, Roxbury, and a Part of Oxford and Middlebury The simple, unfortunate race of the early days has departed faded from the View, and almost from the memory of men. In their lowly, unnoticed, and unknown graves, they sleep well. The chiefs of other times are departed. They have gone without their fame. Another race has arisen. The people are like the waves of the ocean; like the leaves of woody Morven they pass away in the rustling blast, and other green leaves lift their heads on high.
