LORDS PRAYER ON ROCK
Unique Idea of DR.. Joseph Greene Car
ried Out at Bristol

Though its sponsor has long since
passed on to his reward, a huge flat
surfaced rock in This town still con
tinues faithfully to carry out his wishes
of elevating the mind OF man to higher
and better things, for on that rock is
carved the Lords Prayer
Situated as it is, on the main high
way between Lincoln and Starksboro,
at the foot of Drake Hill, steep and
rugged elevation, it serves the purpose
of its sponsor admirably for it was not
an uncommon event for travellers to
use profanity to hasten their steeds
up the grade.
The idea originated in the brain of
DR. Joseph c. Greene, who was born in
+ Lincoln, Vt, on July 81, 1929, the eldest
child in a family of u children' He
had during his childhood seen many
drivers curse their horses or oxen, as
the case may have been, up the slope,
and as his parents were Of the Quaker
faith it displeased him to have such a
condition exist and the older he grew
the more his dislike for it developed
/ Joseph Greene received his early edu-
cation in the local schools, then went
to boarding school and then DESTROYS OF
taking up medicine went to Castleton
School of Medicine and later to the AL
bany, N Y Medical college, from
which institution he received his de-
gree of M D. in 1855, He completed
his course in New York City and began
his medical career at Charlotte in 1856
Desiring broader field he went to
Buffalo, N Y, in 1863, where he made
his permanent home until his death
more than twenty-five years ago.
While he was summering at his old
home in 1891 he conceived the idea of
having the Lords Prayer carved in the
rock at the foot of the hill which
would give people driving up the hill
something higher and better to think
about and thereby making them forget
their profanity, He had his idea car
ried out and to this day stands the
carved inscription of the complete
Lords Prayer with his name at the
left hand corner.
Because the letters when carved did
not show up well, he had them painted
white and every year somebody in Bris-
tol takes the pains to paint them over
again, for the Prayer Rock as it is fa-
miliarly known by them is one Of the
sights of the town
