Excerpt from Historical Discourse, Relative to the South Groton Christian Union, 1855-1864, and the First Unitarian Parish of Ayer, Mass;, 1864-1885
Previous to and after the time of the organization of that church there appear to have been those who desired services of a different character, the evidence, in part, of which is a circular-sheet dated Sept. 28, 1853, issued in be half of an association formed to erect a chapel for worship, no church edifice having previously existed in South Gro ton. From this circular we learn that Rev. J. Cooper is sued a call for a meeting for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of building a meeting-house or chapel, and attending to other business mentioned in the call. Articles of association were adopted, the preamble to which declares that This meeting being desirous of promoting the glory of God and the spiritual interests of our fellow men, we deem it expedient to erect a meeting house at South Groton to be known by the name of the South Groton Union Chapel, for which purpose this meet ing has been called together and the following resolutions, or articles, have been prepared, and are now submitted for its consideration. After the adoption of the preamble and articles of the building association, Nathaniel Stone, Calvin Fletcher, Robert Woods, David Chambers and Walter Lackey were chosen a committee to procure a site; Rev. J. Cooper, Calvin Fletcher, Robert Woods, David Chambers and Ebenezer Willis a building committee; Benj. Felch collector, and Calvin Fletcher treasurer.
