Excerpt from Two Memorial Addresses Delivered on Foxboro Common: In Memory of President Harding, August 10, 1923, And, in Memory of President Lincoln, April 19, 1865 Last Friday afternoon a large audience assembled on the Common to honor our dead President, Warren Gamaliel Harding. The affair was arranged by the Selectmen. L. W. Foster Post and others. Ex - Selectman Kimball was chairman of the committee of arrangements and the Boy Scouts under Scoutmaster Foulds assisted in many ways. Dr. Thomas furnished transportation for the members of the Grand Army Post and also loaned the use of the State Hospital truck to transport the seats which were placed near the bandstand. Ex-representative George R. Ellis presided and announced the program. The Laurence W. Foster Post American Legion marched from their quarters to the grounds. Com rades Bourne, Sands, Williams, Pierce, and Wheeler of the E. P. Car penter Post, G. A. R. Were present in their uniforms. A quartette com posed of Harry C. J. Rost, Walter F. Bosworth, Hobart A. Smart and Albert E. Bence assisted in the musical part of the program. The pro gram as announced in last week's issue of the Reporter was carried out except that Rev. Michael A. Butler was unable to be present to pro nounce the benediction, having been called to another observance. Rev. William H. Thurston of Mechanic street was substituted for that service. The committee was very fortunate in securing Rev. William E. Barton to deliver the address of the day. Dr. Barton is the successful pastor of one of the largest and most influential churches in the United States, and moderator of the National Council of Congregational churches. He is the author of Parables of Safed the Sage. His son, Bruce Barton, is the celebrated essayist of the American magazine and other publications.
