Author: E. O. Jameson (1886)

REV. E. O. JAMESON.

   E. O. JAMESON, son of Daniel and Mary (Twiss) Jameson, was born Jan. 23,
1832, in Dunbarton, N. H. He pursued his preparatory studies in Gilmanton
Academy, and graduated in 1855 from Dartmouth College, N. H. At the age of
seventeen years he united, March 6, 1849, with the church in Chester, N. H.
While a student he taught school in Dunbarton, Mont Vernon, Claremont, and
Bristol, N. H. Mr. Jameson graduated in 1858 from the Theological Seminary,
Andover, Mass. He was licensed to preach, Dec. 29, 1857, by the Middlesex South
Association, in Framingham. Mass., and supplied the pulpits temporarily in
Kennebunk, Me., Dracut, East Randolph, and Concord, Mass., and Concord, N. H. He
was ordained and installed March 1, 1860, pastor of the East Congregational
Church in Concord, N. H. In 1865 he was called to the Union Evangelical Church
of Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass., where he was installed Nov. 9, 1865. He
resigned and was installed Nov. 15, 1871, pastor of the First Church of Christ
in Medway, now the Church of Christ, Millis, Mass. The Rev. Mr. Jameson married
Sept. 20, 1858, Mary Joanna Cogswell, daughter of the Rev. Dr. William and
Joanna (Strong) Cogswell. He was the author of a Memorial Sketch of the Rev.
William Cogswell, D. D., which was published in the first volume of Memorial
Biographies of Deceased Members of the New England Historical Genealogical
Society. In 1884 he published The Cogswells in America, a volume of more than
seven hundred pages, the results of many years of careful genealogical inquiry.
He was chosen the editor and prepared for the press The History of Medway, Mass.
Mr. Jameson pursued lines of historical research for recreation as some
clergymen follow the trout brook, and a discovered name, date, or fact, was to
him a thing of joy as much as the nibble of a hungry trout, or the living fish
dangling at the end of a line to some of his professional friends.
