With Sketches of the Sunday-School and the Choir: And Reminiscences Presented at the One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary of the Organization of the Church, April 20, 1893 At the annual meeting of the church, December 29, 1892, a committee, consisting of the pastor, Dea. E. J. Colburn, Wilbert P. Farley, Mrs. Charlotte M. Farley, and Mrs. Ellen H. Lovejoy, were appointed to take into consideration the matter of the public observance of the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the church and the settlement of the first minister in town. If in their judgment it was deemed advisable to celebrate the occasion, they were empowered to make all necessary arrangements therefor, including the appointment of committees. Deciding that it was best to observe the day, they appointed Cyrus F. Burge, Charles S. Spaulding, and Mrs. Sarah Farley a Historical Committee; Albert H. Richardson, a Committee on Entertainment, with authority to choose needed assistants, and Silas M. Spalding and Mrs. Louisa D. Spalding a Committee on an Old Time Exhibition. The necessary arrangements being completed, we came together April 20, 1893, at the town hall, at 10 1-2 a. m., where three hours were very pleasantly spent in social reunion, a dinner to which upwards of three hundred fifty sat down, and in viewing the collection of old-time relics. These consisted, in part, of a pew and a portion of the pulpit taken from the meeting-house before its change in 1849, a portion of the communion set in use before 1831, the original charter of the town, table articles in use by the first settler and by the first minister, a flax and a spinning wheel, a tin kitchen and a baker, a gun carried at the battle of Bunker Hill, ancient hooks and documents, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
