Natick Historical Society earlier this month posted a tribute to Jim Morley, a longtime board member and the group’s former president, who passed away in late September at the age of 99.
The Society wrote in part: “He was a tenacious researcher, with a remarkable depth of knowledge of Natick history. A compelling storyteller, he made history accessible, weaving together the threads of Natick’s story for countless audiences.”
Eliot Church in Natick celebrated Mr. Morley’s latest book, Natick 1651-2000: The Many Lives of a Storied New England Town, in early March, shortly before Massachusetts declared a state of emergency due to the pandemic.
Natick Pegasus has reposted a talk Mr. Morley delivered in 2014 about historic homes of Natick from the 1800s that gives you a sense of what the Historical Society meant in its tribute.
