Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dedication of the Hall Memorial Library, at Ellington, Conn;, Nov; 11th, 1903 It is proper that this Memorial Souvenir of the dedication exercises of the "Hall Memorial Library" in Ellington should be preceded by a short introductory account of the purpose of Mr. Francis Hall, the donor, in erecting and giving the library to his native town. A strong filial and fraternal feeling, inspired also with a loyal remembrance of Ellington, the place of his boyhood and education - from which he began the establishment of his chosen avocation of a book-seller - led him to devise this library as the most fitting tribute to them all. The result of his determination and generous labors is the beautiful building which stands in the center of the town, facing the public park. It was not an investment, but a token of love - a free public library. Mr. Francis Hall for several years had considered the propriety and desirability of giving to his native town of Ellington a free public library. His desire was to erect a library building in honoring memory of his father and elder brother, who had been head-masters of the famous schools of Ellington. His father, John Hall, was founder and the principal of the "Ellington School," organized in 1832. His brother, Edward Hall, succeeded him as principal of the "Hall Family School for Boys." This last school was not closed until 1875, the year of his death. Thus for nearly half a century the two continued the Ellington schools. In them there have been educated many men, well known and celebrated for their influence and worth in every department of public and private life. The names of some of these were recalled in the addresses made, and in letters of regret of others, pupils and friends, who were unable to be present at the dedication exercises at the opening of the library.
