Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Account of the Exercises Connected With the 150th Anniversary Celebration of the Town of Westminster, Massachusetts, 1909: Together With Historical Legendary Reminiscences Connected With the Town Little did the first settlers in that part of Massachusetts known as the town of Westminster, dream that their decision to establish homes for themselves in what was then an unexplored wilderness, would mark the occasion for semi-centennial celebrations of the event. Twice the residents of Westminster have gathered together to honor the memory of the first settlers, and without doubt this custom will be continued twice in each century by succeeding generations. The townspeople of Westminster had been looking forward with considerable anticipation to the celebration in the summer of 1909 of the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of the town. The project took definite form at the Old Folks´ Picnic, held in August, 1908, when Wilbur F. Whitney of Ashburnham, a native of Westminster, urged that a committee be appointed to have charge of the 150th anniversary celebration, and offered to give a liberal sum as a nucleus for a fund to provide for the expenses connected therewith. At the annual meeting in March, 1909, the town voted to celebrate the event and appropriated $500 for this purpose. A committee of three, consisting of Joseph Hager, Daniel C. Miles and George W. Barnes, were appointed by the moderator to retire and bring in a list of names for a committee of arrangements.
