If one would forget the present
age of flying machines, automobiles,
motion pictures and such like, they
have but to visit the parish house of
st. Peters Episcopal church, in Rec
tor street, where they will be trans
ported back to yesteryear and in
their minds eye live in those days
that have past. Many of the inven-
lions and improvements of those
times which seem so common place
today and hardly worth while, are
now on display in the parish house
as a feature of the 225th anniversary
of st. Peters.
The display is arranged in two
large rooms of the parish house and
these rooms are constantly filled
with visitors who look with wonder
and amazement on the many price
less works of art and antiques on ex-
hibit. One does not have a very
vivid imagination to picture the part
a canno ball of 1775 and arrow
heads may have played in the early
days of Perth Amboy; neither is it
hard to realize the story that might
be told by a duelling pistol that was
found in the walls of the Packer
House, nor does the Imagination
have to picture much of the past to
obtain some conception of the story
that might be told by a key that un-
locked and locked st. Peters church
prior to 1852.
Dresses, shawls, samplers, bed
spreads. all have their story to tell
If n but takes the time to let their
imagination stray to the days that
have past. Even the mirrors that
date back to days in the early his
tory of Perth Amboy seem to reflect
stories of pretty girls, who may have
stood before them in the by gone
days and prepared for the entertain
ment of some noted guests.
Among the articles on display is q
beautiful Colonial bed spread to
which a card is attached that reads
as follows: MADE by Nancy Put
man,, wife of the son of Israel Put
nam of Revolutionary fame and de-
signed by her husband. Her initials
were embroidered in center of
spread, loaned by Mrs. Andrew Ad-
rian Jackson, a direct descendant of
Israel Putnam" There is another
wonderful and priceless bed spread
on display. This one is over 100
years old and is loaned by Miss
Emile Paterson. Both of these ar
ticles show the care and pains taken
by the eorly settlers of the country
in producing articles for their homes
and cannot be duplicated today, the
art of making them, it is said, hav-
ing past on with those whose mem
DRY the 225th anniversary of st.
Peters church celebrates.
