Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses at the Unveiling of the Portrait of General Salem Towne
The exercises of the day began at two p. M. At Dexter Memorial hall. Geo. R. Wakefield of Spencer, president of the Charlton reunion and old home day association presided and wel comed the large gathering. He said four years ago when this hall was given to the town by its generous donor, W. H. Dexter, it was named the Dexter Memorial hall, and at that time the idea was conceived of making it in a broader sense a memorial hall by adorning its walls with portraits of men prominent in the history of the town. The firs-t year the picture of Mr. Dexter was placed in the building and last year we were presented with a panel cabinet of photographs of the five Towne brothers, appropriately framed, the gift of Horace A. Towne, of Minneapolis, Minn. This year another memorial is to be pre sented to the town and it is hoped that there may be other similar gifts to follow.
