Looking for book "George Darling of Lynn and Marblehead and Some of His Descendants 1650 to 1920"

Hoping someone has access to this book, in particular looking for text from pg 115 relating to the August 1787 marriage of John Darling, Mary Chamberlain in Winchendon, Worcester, MA.  Vital records on familysearch show the marriage and her death one year later but I'm trying to find out if she was the widow of John Chamberlain, possibly the one killed by a falling tree 19 May 1784 in Winchendon that he was cutting down with his son (History of Winchester https://archive.org/details/historytownwinc00marvgoog/page/n454).  Vital records don't address this, almost every woman listed on the page of marriages is listed as "Mrs." so that doesn't seem to help.  I don't believe that any of these 3 people have wikitree IDs yet.

No copies anywhere near Denver, CO so hoping somebody has this or lives near a library that has it.

Thanks!

The Google Books version of the book has limited "snippet" search capabilities. For example, see what I found when I searched for the word "Chamberlain": https://books.google.com/books?id=oJJGAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=chamberlain
Thanks Ellen, that snippet looks like it answers my question; unfortunately the book doesn't give any more info than the vital records.

Based on a quick search, this book is NOT available at archive.org (Internet Archive).

If you got to WorldCat.org and search for the book you will find several libraries that have a copy. If you enter your location, zip code, the list will be in order beginning with the closest library to you. Hopefully, the first will be close to you.

Edit

One of the libraries is the Sutro Branch of the California State Library. If you contact them, they may provide the page you need. They will be closed over the Christmas holidays.

Thanks for the suggestion George, that's worked for me before on other books but definitely requires a friendly library :)  I should have specified that worldcat was how I determined that it wasn't near Denver, it's a great resource for sure.
