Duxbury 250th Anniversary Celebrated With Pageantry
A June 17 event in Duxbury marks 250 years since the town’s settlement. Citizens and visitors filled the town with flags and cannon salutes as a Grand Army review and a procession to a speakers’ tent welcomed Governor Ames and prominent guests. Justin Winsor, Harvard librarian and Duxbury historian, traced Pilgrim leaders and early settlers, highlighting Miles Standish, William Brewster, Edward Winslow, John Alden, and others who shaped the colony, amid reflections on Bradford’s warnings and the evolving Puritan community.

Obituary of Mark Hopkins Williams College President
Despatch from North Adams reports the death of ex president Mark Hopkins of Williams College in Williamstown. He died at home after a drive and a water drink by a local spring, with physicians noting a general decline rather than illness. Hopkins born 1802 in Stockbridge led Williams from 1858 and influenced many students and pastors. He was honored with D D and LL D degrees and praised as a premier educator who shaped minds and character. The Williams commencement week looms, and funeral services are planned in Fall River.
