Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses at the Dedication of the Monument: Erected to the Memory of Matthew Thornton Merrimack, N. H. September 29, 1892 Within the narrow enclosure of a diminutive burial-ground in the village of Thornton´s Ferry, in the town of Merrimack, for over four score years have reposed the remains of Matthew Thornton. Only a modest tombstone with a simple inscription has marked the resting-place of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and one of the foremost promoters of the American cause. The patriots of the Revolution are not forgotten. The perpetuation of their memory in history and in enduring inscriptions is the willing duty of a grateful people. The first suggestion of a monument to the memory of Matthew Thornton, if long delayed, found prompt expression in action. By an act of the legislature, approved August 28, 1885, the governor and council were authorized to erect a suitable monument upon a site selected and donated by the town of Merrimack. A disagreement between the authorities of the state and the town for a short time delayed, but was not allowed to prevent, an early consummation of a patriotic impulse of the people.
