I need help deciphering one item from a microfilm from the Mass Archives. My copy of the marriage registration no.89, (14 Aug. 1859), vol 128, page 198, has chopped off the final columns to the right on the page. This info is the name of the person (clergyman?) performing the marriage and possibly the witnesses. Could SKS with access to the microfilms or the NEHGS images check this detail which will help me identify the church in question.

Hi Michael - I can't help with the NEHGS, but the church would have been St. Mary of the Assumption http://www.stmarymilford.org/ There are only 2 catholic churches in Milford, and St. Mary is the oldest. the other one is Sacred Heart of Jesus. http://www.sacredheartmilford.org/index.php You might also be interested in this page on the church in Hopkinton - St. John the Evangelist http://stjohntheevangelisthopkinton.parishesonline.com/scripts/HostedSites/org.asp?p=18&ID=1005 They didn't have a resident Catholic priest until 1866. The page above also explains that most Hopkinton residents went to church in Milford before that date. Also, I just posted a biography of HARRY D. RAWSON to the Mendon MA list. Harry lived in Des Moines, Iowa, and the bio was posted to the Iowa list. I'll post it here.
