Overview

Excerpt from Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Settlement of the Town of Stratford, October 3d, 1889 HE celebration of the 250th anniversary of the settlement of the T Town of Stratford, on October 3d, 1889, gave so much pleasure to the residents of the town, and was so thoroughly successful, that there immediately arose a general desire to preserve in some suitable form a fitting memento of the occasion. Participating in this desire, and conscious of a public sentiment which called for some record of the proceedings, which should be available in every household, the Gen eral Committee of Arrangements appointed Messrs. Howard J. Curtis, Stiles Judson, J r., Thomas B. Fairchild, Frederick C. Beach, Wilfred M. Peck, and Samuel T. Houghton, acommittee to compile and publish in book form a complete account of the events of the day so memorable in the town's history. Much time and care have been given to make the work attractive in appearance, as well as to present a correct statement of any events connected with the cele bration. The illustrations are mostly from photographs taken by one of the Committee, Mr. F. C. Beach, for which service gratuitously performed, his associates take this opportunity of expressing their thanks. If, from these printed pages, and the pictures of old and easily recognized landmarks, the sons and daughters of Stratford who have gone thence into other homes; or those who still remain near old familiar places, catch some new appreciation of the attractions of this Home, Sweet Home, of their childhood, the compilers will feel that they have not labored in vain.
