the task was completed. But the work
had been started and out of love and
honor to his dear one, her husband
through hard, earnest effort has complet'
ed here the erection of massive monu'
ment Of enduring granite taken from
the hills of our own Green Mountain
state. 1t is appropriately inscribed that
the memory Of our Revolutionary pa.
triot and hero may be perpetuated, his
grave rescued from oblivion, and due
reverence extended by future genera
tions.
Joseph Hoyt was brave and stall
wart man of great moral as well as
physical strength. He was one of the
pioneers of our country, and did his
share to subdue this vast wilderness and
to make it pleasant and habitable. He
came from Deerfield, n H., to Cabot
about 1900, whittier some OF his sons
had come to clear farms and to estab-
| lish homes And we find that four of
the five sons who came here were con-
| tent to dwell the remainder of their nat
ural lives and find resting places within
our beautiful and peaceful borders.
When at the battle of Bennington our
hero saw his captain, Nathan Sanborn,
shot down, amid shrieking shot and
whizzng bullets, without a thought of
himself and at the peril of his own life,
he took his captain on his shoulder and
carried him off the battlefield to place
OF safety. deed which very few men
would have dared done if they could.
And Captain Sanborn undoubtedly owed
his life to the bravery of this private
soldier, Joseph Hoyt.
The inscription on the monument is
legibIe to all: ct reads, Erected by
descendants in memory OF Joseph HoYt,
1880 ISIS, Revolutionary patriot. BY
the blood and valor of this soldier and
his compatriots this great Republic was
founded among the nations OF the
earth")
And we hope that many who to-day
or in future Memorial days visit this
grave will pause for moment with un-
covered head. and drop a flower upon his
resting place; and that Others of this
town who may have Revolutionary an
cestors buried within its limits in for
gotten graves, may gather inspiration
from this act of the Hoyt descendants
and do likewise, thus teaching lessons
of patriotism and honor to themselves
and their posterity.
Like those of old, mighty men of renoun
The names of these also are handed
down;
As sturdy and strong and stalwart were
they
Who receive the share of our honors to-
day.
As pure as the flowers We lay on their
graves,
As bright as the flag that over them
waves,
So pure may our thoughts of their vir-
tues e'er be,
So bright may we cherish their memory.

developed very good direct fruit trade
in a region where formerly all the fruit
that was purchased came from Califor.

of his automobile. He removed the ton

radius of fifteen miles by midmorning.
Leading dairy farms that formerly

farmers sons who ascribe their keen in

that power machinery, including the au-
tomobile, motor truck, motor cycle, gas

charge. Farmers the country over who
utilize the automobile for both pleasure

Memorial Tribute Read by Ralph Hoyt

! We have gathered in a hallowed en-
closure, made sacred to many of us be-
cause of its being the last resting place,
and containing all that is mortal of our
loved ones, whose souls have passed over
the dark river of death, preceding us for
a little time. We have come to-day es-
pecially to pay tribute to those who
gave their lives in patriotic service to
! their country during the dark days of
the great Civil war.
But let us depart for few moments
from the theme of the day and permit
me to invite your attention TO one of
the 90 heroic patriots of the Revolu-
tionary war whose graves are within
the limits of Cabot Like the soldiers
of the Civil war just so freely did they
of old offer their services and their lives
enduring without murmur the sufferings
and hardships that fell to their lot, in
that long and sangiiinary struggle
against powerful and oppressive foe,
that they might free themselves and
their posterity from the CALLING yoke of
British tyranny; and that there might
be founded on this continent govern
the people that should not perish from

Joseph Hoyt. For over 20 years he had
slumbered in an unmarked, obscure and
almost forgotten grave in little bury
ing plot on the northwest hill.
About p years ago Mrs. Fidelia Hoyt
Simonds visited the old neglected place
and removed to this pleasant location
the remains of her great-grandpsrents
Joseph and Abigail Hoyt, also those of
her grandparents, Enoch and Mary Hoyt,
and daughter, Hannah. Thus was the
first step taken toward rescuing their
graves from oblivion. She had a desire
also to erect monument, but died be-
fore it was accomplished. Then another
of the descendants, Susanna Hoyt Kim
ball, filed with reverence for his mem
DRY, and with commendable and patriot
ic pride, took up the work.
She became enthusiastic as she re-
counted the great trials of her heroic
ancestor, his patriotism and devotion to
duty as he battled for liberty and free
dom, and she solicited subscriptions from
all the descendants whom she could
reach Like her predecessor, however,
she passed to the great beyond before

Memorial to Joseph Hoyt Was Unveiled
with Fitting Ceremony.

| At IL n. m. on Memorial day pro-
cession formed Mt society hall, headed
| by members of @. A. II. and w. r. C.
and were joined by over 80 children of
the Sunday schools, led by two young
ladies', one from each school, carrying
the silk flags which were recently pre-
scented to each school by the w. X. c.,
followed by two lads carrying a banner
bearing the motto, Sunday School Sol
diers," citizens bringing up the rear.
| They proceeded to the hill In the south
western part of the village cemetery,
where the company were called to order
| by Commander s. b. Blodgett.. Prayer
was offered by Rev. A. w. Bnrnlund,
pastor Of the M. e. church. A recitation
was given by Miss Mabel Smith, after
which wreaths and flowers were depos-
| tied in remembrance of the unknown
who fell in the Civil war. At the close
of these exercises the people gathered
around monument, yelled with the
American flag, which had recently been
erected by lineal descendants in honor
able memory of Revolutionary soldier,
Joseph Hoyt, where dedicatory services
were held. Commander S. B. Blodgett
spoke briefly of the services rendered by
y
ago, how he fought to make country
and nation and to free this land from
tyranny and oppression. Ralph Hoyt,
one of the lineal descendants, read a
memorial tribute. The descendants who
have contributed to this monument are
scattered through the western and south
ern parts of the United States. There
were formerly several families of these
descendants bearing the name of Hoyt
living in this town, where now there are
only four who have borne that name
from childhood and only about ID who
can trace their ancestry to this Joseph
Hoyt. The monument was then UNI
yelled and wreathes and flowers placed
around it and ON the grave by the dis
tant relatives and G. A. r. The com
pany again formed into line andre
turned to society hall, where a sump-
tuous dinner was served by the ladies
of the w. R, G. to G. A. r., w. X. c.
and their families, Sons of Veterans and
visiting members. AT 2 p. M. the pro-
cession marched to town hail. where

was highly appreciated. In one of the
last acts they formed with their scarfs
the initials, &C. A. r." and were loud
~ applauded. A song, THE Little
Bronze Button" by Comrade i. Myers
was highly appreciated. An orchestra of
six pieces, with piano accompaniment,
furnished music. The rolling of the
flags by the four color bearers of the
w. r. c., while Mrs. +. M. Bliss played
"The Star Spangled Banner" was very
impressive. Rev. Paul Dwight Moody
gave an interesting address to good
audience, the hall being filed nearly
to the extent of its seating capacity.
At the close. the audience joined in sing
ing "America."
