terest or Importance to its members and
friends and to the patriotic citizens of the
town has transpired, excepting the dedica-
ton of Memorial Hall, than that of the meet
ing there on the afternoon of July 81, 1894.
On that occasion presentation to the Post
was made by some of our most generous and
patriotic citizens of a beautiful and valuable
memorial book in which the record of every
comrade and soldier of the town who partic-
/
the Union will be inscribed. The presenta-
ton speech for the donors was made by one
of them, Rev. Edwin Wheelock, in a most
eloquent and felicitous manner. A brief and
appropriate reply of acceptance was made
| by the post commander, c. D. Gates; then
followed an able and eloquent address by
Department Commander G. F. Branch of
| Newport, which was listened to by the large
and appreciative audience with marked in
terest. Vocal and instrumental music added
| to the pleasure of the occasion, including a
duet by Miss Mary Ellinwood and Miss Ella
| Waite. The recitation OF the poem "OuT
| Heroes" by Master Herbert Burns, the
| grandson of soldier who died at New Or.
leans in 1864, was well done and met with
hearty applause. 1t was gratifying to the
comrades that one OF the aged and respected
donors, Madison Stafford, was able to be
present, accompanied by his estimabe wife
The unavoidable absence OF another doner
''Uncle Harry" Montague, was dsappoint
ment. The presence of Elisha Bentley
another of our venerable men (Senator from

the services. Among the donors present
were Byron S. Ellinwood, Ralph Mudgett
and wife, Mr. and Mrs. II. N. Gray, donors in
their fathers names in thenames of Eli Elm
wood and E. 2. Mudgett, deceased At the
close of the exercises all we're invited to par
