Plain. Together with the renewed inscriptions was en- graved on it; 'Erected by citizens of Fairfield, July 8th, 188I.' As the old Colonial flag was drawn from it a large wreath, a tribute from Mrs. Jonathan Sturges, was placed upon it, and many descendants of the grand old men and women who lie in this historic place communed with the crowded memories that the observance and the spot inspired. It was an eminently fitting commemora- tion, and fittingly carried out without ostentation and with a reverence that was as touching' as it was con- mendable."
In concluding my report of this successful "rebuild- ing of the tombs of our ancestors," I beg to add my mite toward the sum of gratitude earned by one who laid the foundation and largely aided in completing the struct- ure-Mrs. Kate E. Perry. It was her reverent zeal that kept alive public interest in these crumbling memorials, her voice that solicited funds for their rehabilitation, her unwearied work of pen and brain that preserves their invaluable records to posterity. ,
