This bill passed both Houses, was approved by the Governor and became a law. (See pamphlet laws of New Jersey, 1881. ) It commemorates the final act in the history of the Quakers as an organized body in Shrewsbury Township, where the first (1762) Quakers' Meeting House of New Jersey or Pennsylvania was erected. Hon. George C. Beekman, in his letter presenting this bill, states
I3

SUMMARY OF REPORTS
that those Quakers were the controlling men in the early settlement of Shrewsbury, and exer- cised an influence that was favorable to the growth of Republican principles. He thought that the presenting of this bill by the Orthodox Friends was an acknowledgment of the utter extinction of the sect and an historical event worthy of notice, as it ended their history in Shrewsbury Township after many years of ef- fort.
There has also been added to the Library by purchase Wolverton's Atlas of Monmouth County, Smith's History of Monmouth County, Salter's History of Monmouth and Ocean Coun- ties, Poems of Philip Freneau in two volumes, edited by Fred Lewis Pattee (Princeton edi- tion).

SUMMARY OF REPORTS
the receipt during the past year of the original Clerk's book of minutes of the Township of Middletown, covering the entire period between January 2d, 1695, and March 17th, 1848. This book had long been missing and was sup- posed to have been lost or destroyed. Its dis- covery supplies a large fund of local historical information which is very gratifying to genealo- gists. The donor of this record is Mrs. Sarah A. Fairchild, of Keyport, N. J. In token of the Association's thorough appreciation of this favor, it has conferred upon Mrs Fairchild a life membership of its organization with exemp- tion from fees and dues.
Our acknowledgments are also due to William A. Walling, of Phalanx, N. J., who has pre- sented to the Soclety fifteen interesting almanacs for the years 1808, 1810, 1811, 1813, 1818, 1830, 1836, 1837, 1838, 1839, 1850, 1851, 1857, 1880 ; also seven copies of Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper during the Civil War and afterwards ; also one copy of the Centennial

SUMMARY OF REPORTS
Record, illustrated, 1876, and six copies of Harper's Weekly, illustrated.
During the past year the Association has adopted an insignia consisting of a bronze gilt badge about the size of a silver half dollar, rep- resenting as the ground an Indian pot of the form used by the Lenape Indians. On one side is the head and bust of a Lenape, the coat of arms of the Duke of Monmouth and a quota- tion from the address of Indian Chief " Wilted Grass " to the New Jersey Legislature : " Not a drop of our blood have you shed in battle ; not an acre of land have you taken without our consent "; and on the reverse the seal of the Society. Each insignia is identified by its num- ber, and the name of the owner inscribed there- on. The execution of the design and die is the work of Victor D. Brenner. The whole is sus- pended by ribbon of the Monmouth colors, and makes a beautiful decoration of great artistic merit. Mr. Edward D. Adams, of Rohallion, Rumson Hills, who conceived the original design

SUMMARY OF REPORTS
of the insignia and to whose enterprise we are indebted for its development and production, has generously donated the fruits of his efforts to the Association, consisting of the steel dies and one hundred finished medallions struck from them; also a gold badge in the form of an Indian pipe, as the President's badge, to be worn with the insignia. The ribbon is the kindly gift of Mr. George F. Vietor, of Rumson Neck, who manufactured the same expressly for the Society.
The report of the Treasurer at the last regu- lar meeting showed nine hundred and ninety-one dollars and ten cents in the treasury and one hundred and fifty dollars of outstanding dues. By the report of the Trustees we find that seventeen new members were elected during the past year. Five deaths have occurred since our last publication, namely, George Dummer Allaire, George Barr Snyder, Henry Stafford Little, Mrs. Frances M. Purdon and Mrs. Hen- rietta May Holbrook. The roll of membership
