Sunday for the opening of the bi-cen- tennial programme which will be con- | tinued through the week in observ- | ance of the founding of the town and | the establishment of the First Congre- gational church. Fitting it was, therefore, that the exercises should open in the church which vies with the town in the cele- bration of 200 years of prosperity. Visitors from far and near are here | | | | l Coventry had many hundred visitors for the.long planned. event and enter into: the spirit of the Old Home week 'with a zeal which assures the success of the double anniversary. The First. Congregational church was taxed for room to accommodate those who desired to attend the service Sun- day morning: Rev. D. F. Dodd offered prayer and the scripture ‘reading was by Rev. H. M. Bartlett, the sermon Life in the Old Church from the text Ps. Ixxvii. 10-12. He was heard with deep interest as he reviewed the his- tory of the aged church and its work in the community. There was a ser- viee of worship and praise in the evening. Rev. Sherrod Soule, super- intendent of missions in Connecticut, gave a stereopticon lecture following on Congregationalism in Connecticut. In the afternoon at the lake a sacred concert was given at which there was a very large attendance. The Congregational church, ‘“the First church of Coventry,” was organ- ized, so far as actual dates are con- cerned, about 1712 or 1713, as it was in the former year that the petition was made to the general court for the right to lay tax for the suppert of the church. But there are some who be- lieve that a minister was stationed in Coventry at least two years previous. The first pastor. was Rev. Joseph Meacham, who was in charge of the church for 40 years. His wife was Esther Williams, daughter of the fa- mous Rev. John Williams. of Deerfield, Mass. In the village cemetery there is a stone erected: which tells of her experience when a young,girl, When 12 years old and-residing in Deerfield she was. captured by the Indians in the road on that place in 1704 and carried off to Canada, where she lived the life of the Indians for 10 years, but managed: to make escape, and shortly after married Rev. Joseph Meacham. In May, 1776, a petition was sent from the people of Coventry to the court in Windham asking that a sit be selected: for aa new. meeting ho: to meet the demands of the increasing ponnlation. A committee was appoint- ed by the court. but the site selected was. not agreeable to the chumch peo- ple, who the following vear potitioned the general court of the state to change the location to one oppasite the green, as a site “more commodious and elegant. The latter petition was granted and the church was bmilt, oc- cupying the same until Jan. 21, 1897, when it was burned. With the incoming of manufacturing and the building of mills alang the stream, the population of the vown be- gan to shift, and: the more t tled portion became wh i now known as the village of South, Coven- try. Many of the residents wtho were then living in the village, findfing that the old church was not ls favored the erection of a ne This was opposed by some older people and resulted in and services were held in the village in 1848, and the church built and dedi- cated in 1849. The Village church, as it was then known, became ithe most largely attended, but services still held in the old church vmtil 1886, when it was practically® discon- tinued: But it was not until) some 20 vears afterwards that the records of the reuniting and the turning over of the papers and money frorn the old church to the Village church and de- claring it the First Congregational church of Coventry was perfected The town of Coventry was included in the territory given by chem of the Mohegans, to men, who in turn conveyved fheir ri were May, to William Pitki Joseph, Talcoti Williamm Whiting, Richard Lord and Nathaniel Ru It was on May 1706, that these men were appointed committes by the general court to lay out the town into lots.
