Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Buckland Centennial, September 10, 1879: Addresses, Poems, Songs, &C This grove is now owned by Joel Thayer, is surrounded by open fields, with the merry waters of the Deerfield close by and the green wooded hills of Coleraiue looming up beyond. It was soon apparent that the good people were coming from all the country around, not only from the hills of Buckland and her neighboring towns, but from a distance as well. Among the latter were Prof. W. F. Sherwin, of Newark, N. J., once a Buckland boy and now famous in the musical world; Dr. Gardner Wilder, of Circleville, Ohio, Rev. Samuel W. Clark, of Holyoke, Samuel Tobey, of Michigan, and others, who desired to show their filial love for the old town by joining in the celebration. One of the guests of the day was Miss Julia Ward, the present Principal of Mount Holyoke Seminar, who sought in this way to pa a tribute to the memory of Mar- Lyon, the founder of the Seminary and Buckland´s most famous daughter. The longevity of Buckland people is proverbial, and among those present who had grown up with the town almost from its incorporation, were Moses Nelson, alluded to in the address of the orator of the day as the last pupil who was under the instruction of his mother, and who is now in his eighty-eighth year; Dea. Silas Trowbridge, who is now eight- two; Luther Pratt, about eighty-three ;Hiram Dodge, who lives just over the line in the "edge of Hawley," eighty; Andrew Butler, eighty-two; Ezra Sherwin, seventy-five ; Miss Parney Brooks, eighty-two, and Mrs. Fanny Richmond, eighty-one. It is estimated that the gathering numbered upwards of three thousand people. A portion found room on the seats provided, but many sat upon the ground, forming a semi-circle about the speaker´s stand, while others stood or sat in their vehicles on the borders of the throng. The people were finally called to order, and rising, under the direction of Prof. Sherwin sang America with true heartiness and fervor. Divine blessing was invoked by the Rev. Mr. Jagger, of Shelburne Falls. Capt. J. A. Richmond, the President of the Day, then made the following Address Of Welcome. The record of the century for the town of Buckland is finished. The clock of centuries has struck one, its echoing peals yet float along our valley and linger on our hill-tops. Under the lengthening shadows of the old we sweep into the new.
