    Prominent Jaffrey citizen Albert Annett wrote this article for The Granite Monthly in 1899. Some years later he and Alice Lehtinen authored volumes 1 and 2 of the Town History. Some of the numerous black and white photographs—which are not credited—were taken by The Rev. Frederick W. Greene. Others may have been taken by the author. Among the photographs are:
