Laban Ainsworth biography project

 Updated: 28 July 2019


Jean Parker Waterbury wrote Laban Ainsworth–A Life. The full biography never appeared. The typescript was placed in various libraries including the Jaffrey Publlic Library where it was discovered by a Jaffrey resident.

Permission has been given to the Jaffrey Historical Society by the Waterbury family to publish this important contribution of local history.

The full biography along with supplementary material will be issued on Saturday, July 27, 2019, at an event at 7:30pm at the Jaffrey Meetinghouse.
