Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of Minute-Men´s¿ Day: Hollis, N. H., 1898; Including Address of Miss. Sarah Alice Worcester, A. M At a special town meeting held April 3, 1896, it being the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town, steps were taken to honor the minute-men of April 19, 1775, who went from this town, and the matter was referred to the following committee: Messrs. Cyrus F. Burge, Enoch J. Colburn, Daniel W. Hayden, Charles B. Richardson, and Silas M. Spalding. At the annual town meeting, March 9, 1897, a sum not exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars was appropriated for the purpose of carrying out the plans of the above named committee, which at this time was enlarged by the appointment of Charles A. Hale and Charles S. Spaulding. In August, 1897, a contract was made by this committee with the Bridgeport Monumental Bronze Company for a bronze tablet to be fastened on the face of the "Nevens Stone," bearing in raised letters the names of the ninety-two minute-men who marched from Hollis Common, April 19, 1775. This tablet was completed and delivered according to contract. At the annual town meeting, March 8, 1898, the committee reported, recommending that the town at some suitable date hold dedicatory ceremonies at the unveiling of the above tablet. The appointment of such a day was referred back to this committee. The committee thought the proper time for such ceremonies would be on April 19, 1898, one hundred and twenty-five years after the marching of these men from Hollis; but recognizing the liability of inclement weather on that date, and being informed that the John H. Worcester Post, No. 30, G. A. R., desired to dedicate the cannon which they had placed upon the Common some time in the summer, Friday, June 17, 1898, was finally selected as an appropriate and convenient time for both of the above exercises.
