Excerpt from Raymond, New Hampshire Fifty Years Ago an Address at the Old Home Week Celebration, Raymond, N. H., August 20, 1901 Mr. President, ladies, and gentlemen: It was a happy suggestion of Governor Rollins for the citizens of the towns of New Hampshire to invite the absent sons and daughters to revisit the old homes, so that they might renew old associa tions and recall former days. It is delightful to be here today and meet old friends, some of whom I have not seen for a generation. I am glad to accept your generous hospitality, and I am sure Old Home Week will be remembered as red-letter days in the history of the town. It is not strange that we who have strayed away from the old homes should find it delightful to revisit the old town. We love the hills and valleys, the brooks and meadows, on which we first looked, and where we roamed when children. We enjoy climbing the same old rocks, sitting under the same trees, on the same grassy banks, and in the same rooms of the dear old houses where the happy years of childhood were passed. We love the good old town, its people, and its history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
