S. Cook, 1st tenor; Ernest Wakefield, ed |
tenor; A. G. Harlow, 1st bass, and A. ID. |
Ward, I'd bass.
President Smith then made a brief but |
address of welcome, speaking
entirely without notes. His address was
in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen: When indi-
viduals and corporations have existed for
a long time, 1t is we'll to pause and con
slider from whence we started. Sometimes
the early history is shrouded in forRetful-
ness. Litchfleld may be no exception.
When our ancestors came here they came
laboriously through the primeval forest,
protected only by God and the strength Of
their own right arms. When you came
to Litchfleld Plains, today, you came
with speed and by conveyances then
through a country with TO-
900 600 people. Where you now look
about on beautiful houses, they saw moth
ing but the great forest and heard its
silence. Here, where your fathers lived,
bid you welcome. (Applause.)
History Of The Early Settlers"
was the part on the programme assigned
to Hon. 0. b. Clason, one of Litchfleld's
sons. This history entailed q vast
amount Of labor. 1t contains summarized
of all the old settlers of whom
1t was possible to collect authentic infor-
nation. In collecting these facts Mr. Cla-
