Excerpt from Torringford: In Connection With the Centennial of the Settlement of the First Pastor, Rev. Samuel J. Mills

Emerson offered prayer and Rev. William H. Moore delivered a historical discourse. Prayer was Offered by Rev. Joseph F. Gaylord, and the congregation united in the doxology, Praise God from whom all blessings ¿ow, in the tune Old Hun dred. They then moved in procession to the grave of Father Mills, which was decorated with wreaths and ¿owers, where prayer was Offered by Rev. Franklin Noble, remarks were made by Rev. Hermann L. Vaill, and two stanzas were sung in Boylston, of the psalm, Our days are as the grass.

The company then gathered about the long tables tastefully adorned and generously furnished, under the maples by the road-side on the west Of the door-yard of Richard W. Gris wold, where, after a blessing invoked by Rev. Franklin Noble, they were courteously served and amply replenished.
