Bradley Doe Rogers native of New

ing House bell gilt made by himself
and sister, responded to our invitation
and brought his whole family to our
celebration (523 years. as the following
happy lines sent with his check indi-
Gates.
Old Noah he did build an ark,
He built it out of hickory bark.
Why, think you he chose that wood,
Because it was so strong and good.
Like people raised on Nermont's green
hills,
Good of purpose and strong of wills.
A library, free for all, you've willed,
1t shelves with first-claSs books should be
To accomplish this, and something more,
You have asked for help from friends of
yOre.
Those that knew the place and people well
And many a story now can tell,
OF the old school house and its changing
bell.
A birth day party you have made,
And good indeed are the plans you've laid.
j accept with thanks for myself and wife.
And send the pennies that mark the years
of our life.
With us we bring our children five,
They'll help you too, sure as you're alive.
Our grandchildren too we will bring, they
are four,
Sub r1Sd, we wish there were many more.
Emily the first, Charles the second,
While Frank very good third is reckOned
Then Harry and Anna the last not the least
Makes up the number we bring to your
feast,
Of grandchildren four, Ems boys lead
the way,
While Franks two soon follow bright,
happy and gay.
Another friend in making his birth
day gift hastily pens as follows:
Ny dear II. w. B.
Inclosed one-tenth of v,
You'll find as gift from me,
For vOur public Library,
Which is half the number of years
I've numbered this vale of tears.
On train March 18th, 1897. NJ. 5. 5.
