The handsome bronze memorial war tablet presented to Second Congregational Church by an anonymous donor was dedicated last Sunday morning at the church, and the name of the giver was discovered to be Nelson B. Mead. he gave it away in his own speech of presentation. The gift was received by Dr. Huckel on behalf of the congregation.
The former pastor, Rev. Charles F. Taylor, who had two sons in the war, one of whom died in service, made the address; and Dr. Huckel read an original poem for Armistice Day. The choir rendered special music, among the selections being an ode with words by Brian Hooker and music by Horatio Parker of Yale.
The tablet is placed on the walls of the spire vestibule. It was made by the Gotham Company of New York, and contains 84 names of those of this congregation who answered the call of their country in the great war.
