New information has come to hand for the article of several years ago entitled Milton Social Library – 1822, which has been updated.
It seems that Ichabod Hayes (1770-1830) was on its “library committee” and among the papers left after his untimely death was a catalog or list of the roughly two dozen titles (some of them being some multi-volume books) that were held by the library during his tenure.
It was said that the young people of the town read these books too, and that some of them prided themselves on having read all of them.
