Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Soldiers Memorial Light and Fountain: Historical Sketch of the Rocks Around the Fountain The Soldiers´ Memorial Light and Fountain was dedicated by Oliver W. Lull Post on the one hundredth anniversary of the town of Milford. At nine o´clock in the morning the Post, escorted by the Milford Cornet band, the Lyndeboro Heavy Artillery led by the Wilton Cornet band, and visiting friends and citizens gathered round the Fountain. After prayer by the chaplain of the Post, the Fountain was unveiled and formally presented by its donor, Mrs. Lull, and accepted by J. R. Perkins, commander of the Post, "In honor of the gallant men from Milford, of whatever nation, race or color, who pledged or gave their lives to establish and maintain our American Republic." Little Rollo, son of Dr. H. S. Hutchinson, turned the lever and eight jets sent high in the air their myriads of sun-tinted drops of pure, cold water. While the band finely rendered "The Star Spangled Banner," a large flag was unfurled, bearing this inscription: "The stars shall shine on forever. They are all there. Thanks, veterans." In the evening a large company assembled to witness the lighting of the Fountain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
