south Berwick, August 1.-When the
traveller gets into these Southern York
county towns he is in region settled
aiilos5 as early as the landing of the PHI
grim fa6hers on Plymouth Rock. Here
soon aIter came the pioneers and here
IN Irieir names are perpetuated IN the faml-
Y lanes of many residents OF today.
As curry as 1860, there came to what IL
now south Berwick, Nathan Lord lie
seop'eu and reared d family here. Since
.laC day the Lords have always been
prominent people in these regions. They
nave enjoyed the confidence and esteem OF
1nelf nelghbors here and many of them
nave gone out from the quiet village to
in rnd distinction in the bustllng world.
.Ihey have been Godfearing people, and
u u was Hon. John Lord who, in 1915,
pequeathed to Berwick Academy $500,
ene income of which was to be used IN
Ine purchase of Bibles, so that every stu
uenG attending the academy for one term
ln as,i be given copy Of Holy Writ.
mis- General Lord was prominent
man In his time and served as represen7,
tatiye and senator of the commonwealth
Ills son, John p. Lord, was also man
chosen to represent his fellow towns
men In public office. He died in 1878 at
Inc great age of 49, Rev. j. l.. Lord,
III, u, whose lectures on books on histo-
rlcal SUBJECTS made him the friend of
thousands of readers, was another mem
Der OF this talented family. Nathan Lord
was for long time president OF Dart
mouth College, and Rev. Charles Lord
Won distinction as a writer. The homes
OF people tell much about them and of
the comfortable homesteads which abound
IN these York county towns, many were
built by the Lords. The original house
is IN the burying ground where lie many
OF the Lords of by-gone generations and
10 which their descendants now make
occasional pilgrimages.
Last winter Mr.. G. c. Lord of Hopkin-
ton, n. H., conceived the idea of holding
family reunion and began making ar
engagements with that end in view. Yes
terday, in accordance with the pro-
gramnie, the Lords fiocked to South Ber-
wick from all around, and when they
We're called to order in convention there
were over 100 present. The proceedings
which resulted in the foundation of an
association to hold annual meetings, were
reported in the mornings papers. The
pleasure which the reunion gave to those
attending conld not be represented in
cold type, however. The attendance was
much larger than was anticipated and
gives earnest of many successful gather
ings in the future. These are some of the
descendants of Nathan Lord who were
present.
