Bailey Brower, Jr. Presents Chatham Township History at April 27 Meeting

Bailey Brower and his wife Taz attended the April 27 meeting. Bailey has lived his life in Chatham Township and his roots go back to 1640 when ancestors emigrated from Holland to Manhattan. Shortly before the Revolutionary War, ancestors moved to Chatham Township and have played an important part of the community ever since. Bailey is a member of the Township Committee and has been active in government for many years. He and his wife Taz managed the Noe Pond Club. He spoke about the history of Chatham Township, giving inside details of evolution of our town. Kiwanis club members were fascinated by his stories and an active Q and A session followed his remarks. He suggested reading the following book to learn more: "Memories Entwined with Roses" by Ruth Pierson Churchill. He also recommended visiting the Chatham Township Historical Society for maps and other information.
