Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the 250th Anniversary of Old Bridgewater: At West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, June 13, 1903 The inception of the plan for celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Old Bridgewater was expressed in a resolution adopted by the Old Bridgewater Historical Society on the ninth of May, 1903. In accordance with a request of the Trustees of this Society, at a meeting held at the Memorial Building, West Bridgewater, on the fourteenth of January, 1905, preliminary measures were taken for a suitable celebration of the anniversary by the appointment of a provisional Anniversary Committee consisting of the following members: Hon. - Benjamin W. Harris, chairman, Joshua E. Crane, Rev. Howard CDunham, Samuel P Gates, George M. Hooper, Simeon C. Keith, Rev. E. B. Maglathlin, Hon. Isaac N. Nutter, and on the twenty-eighth of October, 1905, a committee of five gentlemen, namely: - Hon. James S. Allen, Joshua E. Crane, Henry Gurney, Fred A. Hunting and Rev. E. B. Maglathlin, was appointed by the Society to nominate an Executive Anniversary Committee and other committees and to report the same at a meeting of the Trustees of the Society. At the annual meeting of the Old Bridgewater Historical Society held on the twelfth of January, 1906, the report of this committee was presented and adopted and the several commit tees were empowered to enlarge their membership. To these committees were added the Cooperative Committees of the towns of Bridgewater, East Bridgewater and West Bridgewater which were chosen by the several towns at the request of the Society, and subsequently the members of all committees were included in the list of the general Executive Committee of the celebration.
