A I R ; - " H a r k ! The Herald Angels Sing."
We, a band of loving classmates,
Bound by friendship's golden chain ;
Thus ourselves we leagued together,
For to study learning's fame.
" B y perseverance" we have tried
Much thought in our minds to store.
And a blessing may it prove
To the Class of '94,
Though our fair schooldays are o'er,
Yet no hour we've spent in vain ;
Though now we so soon must part.
May our friendship never wane ;
Many loved ones we are leaving,
If on earth we meet no more,
'Mong the jewels that are ransomed
May we find our '94.
MYRA J E A N N E T T E DAVIS.

1897 Farmington NH Memorial Day Order of Exercises Booklet
Description
An account of the resource
A May 31, 1897 Farmington, NH, Memorial Day Order of Exercises booklet. The booklet is four pages, printed in black ink on off paper.
The front page is ornately decorated with two borders one on the exterior edge, a block geometric floral and one framing an image in the center of the page, a simple triangle geometric repeat. The image in the center is a Grand Army of the Republic medal, hanging from a thirteen star American flag, placed equidistant over their field, topped by a bald eagle sitting atop two overlapping cannons and canon balls. The Grand Army of the Republic was a national fraternal organization. It was composed of veterans of the Union Army, Union Navy, Marines and the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service.
It details the activities for Memorial Day on the second and third pages starting with a march at 1:30 PM on Main Street, followed by exercises at the cemetery & monument. Evening exercises were to start at 8 PM. At all places they included prayer, addresses, song, and bands playing.
The last page is devoted to honoring deceased soldiers and sailors and gives a list for those at the cemetery. Special sections specifically list those fallen in the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. it also points out those in "outside yards" on Ten Rod Road, and the Hodgdon, Bunker, and Stevens yard.

did the beat thoy cou!d, for if wo did we should certainly
mention Oluries aL Armstrong, who wont down through the

there was an insurance of $ 1 0 0 0 .

It would not seem incredible that Providence was prov
ing our men of affairs, giving t o the people examples of
energy and perseverance that finds few equals in the annals
of our country. In 1874 the wooden factory occupied by Alonzo Nute was burned, and before the ruins were cold this

debris, and even before the fire had ceased to be a subject for
Chas. W . Talpey, Treas^ discussion. And in twenty days from the date of the fire a new
brick factory, 32 x 185 feet, four floors high, was standing on

Farmington Opera House Sepia Souvenir Postcard
Description
An account of the resource
A Farmington NH Opera House sepia souvenir postcard. The view is of the front and left side of the building from Main Street. The three story building with an internal mezzanine or balcony was brick with wooden trim. It featured many double high windows on the front and both sides. It had a simple single story portico with a small roof balustrade. Four chimneys can be sen in the photo. The photo is set sometime in winter as snow is on the ground. Trees and surrounding building can be seen in the background. A February 10, 1928 fire effectively burned the Farmington Opera House to the ground. The library and town offices, along with most books, artifacts, and town records, from earlier periods perished in the fire.

a B . Oarleton,
Christmas ha* everything—hasn't it?
Christmas holds tightly many happy memories, is
loaded with joy and good cheer right now, and pierces
uncertainties of the future with the bright twinkle of
hope.
Christmas lifts yon out of your ordinary self and
pushes you up into being a person far nicer than you
u
have thought you were.
*L
Christmas opens up friendships more numerous,
more delightful and more heart-warming than you knew
you had.
Christmas appeals to allfiveof your senses. Is there
any sight lovelier than gaily wrapped gifts, multicolored
candles, shiny holly and decorations on a Christmas
tree? Isn't mere contentment in the fragrant smell of fir
balsam in the living room and of spicy odors in die
kitchen? Wouldn't the days seem empty without hear
ing again the universally-loved carols and the laughter
of happy children? Isn't self-control overstrained by the
taste of festive, tempting foods? And don't we respond
to the invigorating touch of the sweet air outdoors and
die welcome warmth of home and family within ?

An account of the resource
Farmington Public Library- A history from its beginning to in 1890 until 1935. This account is from the Farmington News, Page 4, December 12, 1952. Written by Ethel B Nason, longtime librarian. The account covers how the library was formed, who formed it, the first books it held, how it was managed, and how it was designed. Also included are details of incorporation in October of 1891, work of librarians and volunteers, further donations, fundraising over the years, and celebrations and attractions. Additional accounts include the fire that destroyed the Opera House building and the library within. Ending accounts include the fundraising for the new library, donation of the Goodwin library land, and construction of the new library building, and finally the opening of the new library in May of 1929.
