NEW FAME.
The Old Fayetteville Library Associa-
linn.

The old Fayetteville Library Associa-
ton held special meeting on Saturday
after two weeks notice to each of its -
members. All Of the eight members left
in town were present. Letters were read
from four absent members and there was
verbal message from the remaining one
received through the president. With one
accord the association gives to Moore free
library such of its books as are desirable
to be placed in the latter library. Within
three years many more books than for
several years have been bought by the old
association and the number catalogued is
now 600.
In its early years the little band held
festivals in the court house, before
the days of Union hall, which were
well patronized by the public and fund
Of over 500, increased in a similar manner
from time to time, was thus secured as a
starting point for library in place of
what was then called "book club" In
later years the dependence for funds has
been mainly on assessments paid by men,
bers and the smaller sums from book
rentals The library has been kept in
various private houses. Since its year in
the post-otlce building it has been cared
Perhaps none rejoice more than its mem
beers in the establishment of the larger
Moore free library upon generous basis
The most valuable gift ever received by
the old association was the International
Encyclopedia of Is volumes, up to 1894
bound in embossed leather, and presented
by Miss Martha Thsne Eager, native OF
this town. In all probably 20 other books
have been given to the library. AS one of the
members wrote, 1.-THE f. l.. A. has been
useful in its day and done some good
May its mission continue in a different
form.
1t is heartily desired by the association
that "the balance" of its books, such as
duplicate volumes, standard works, etc
not presented to Moore library, shall no
become extinct as a collection, but helI
some other place to start town library.

DUNN RSTON.
The Dickinson Family.

A few months before the death of Lem
uel Dickinson on Dec. 4, he sold his farm
to Bert Reed of Putney. Four generations
of the family have lived on the place. Abb
raham Dickinson, grandfather of Lemuel,
bought the farm of John Campbell of Put
ney, May 80, 1905, for $1,000. September
"a, 1924, Abraham Dickinson and wife
Jane sold the farm to their son, VIM. G.
Dickinson, and on the same day he leased
the property to his father and mother.
Neither Abraham Dickinson nor his son
William had their names and families reg
istered on the town records. Several in
quiries were made before we could ascer-
tain who the grandparents of Lemuel Dick
inson were. His grandfather came from
Putney to DummeTston and had brother
Cyrus there who lived on the Great Mead
ows and who was the father of Alvin and
Harvey Dickinson, two men whom we re-
member when a small boy. Alvin moved
to Westminster and was the father of Rev.
C. A. Dickinson, d. D., now the pastor of
Berkeley Temple, church of more than
1000 members. William G. Dickinson had
a brother David who lived in Dummerston
and who was the father of Dennis and
Dana Dickinson, now of Newfane. He
also had three sisters, Betsey, Jane and
Sally. Joel, the father of George Dickin-
son of Newfane, ARENAS, and Maria, who
married Dwight Ingram, were also children
of David Dickinson. Azariah Dickinson
of Westminster, who died in 1908, aged ~,
and his wife, Temperance, who died in
1894, aged 60, were the parents of Azariah,
David, John, Abraham of Dummerston
and Cyrus of Putney, who died in 1916,
aged IS. Azariah of Westminster had two
brothers, Dan and Job. Their father,
Azariah, died in Haddam, Conn, in 17SS,
and from which town the three brother:
moved to Westminster. Theirs was the
third permanent settlement in the town
Dan and Azarah were two of the nine
members that constituted the church al
the time it has organized at Westminster
