A very pieashnt social meeting of the Society of the Founders of Xor- William C. wich was held at the home of Mrs. George 1. Lane Tuesday afternoon. It was to have been heid under the “great eim tree” in Lowthorpe mea- dows, but the inclemency of the weather made that impossibie. The guests were welcomed by Mrs. Lane nd her brother, William C. Gilman. At the opening of the meeting Mr. Gilman made a brief informal address concerning the history of the Low thrope meadows and the conmection thereby of the Lathrop family. He said in part: 5 Ladies and_Gentlemen and Membérs of the Society of the Founders of Norwich. Our constitution decrees that a meet- ing shall be hed every vear for social purposes and the commemoration of early events in the history of the town of Norwich. There is a_pecullar pro- priety in this meeting of the founders at this spot, for this, as you may read on the marker on the tree near the gate, appropriately called the “Ad- Gate” was the home lot of Deacon Thomas Adgate, one of the founders and proprietors of Norwich. Of his antecedents we know no more than we know of the antecedents of Mel- chisedec, but we do know_ that he came from Savbrook with Rev. James Fitch and Major John Mason and the Huntingtons, 258 years ago, and died here at the age of four score and four vears. He used the office of deacon well for more than half a century and was survived by a son who bore his name and held his office and by a large family of daughters who married and moved away, so that the Adgate name no longer appears on our rec- ords. The “and purchased by -the founders from the Mohegans was held in com- mon, but to each was assigned a home Iot, and this, as has been said, was Deacon Adgate's home lot The history of the Lowthorpe mea- dows is not without interest. At an early period they were part of a tract assigned to Samuel Lathrop, son of of Rev. John Lathrop, the progenitor all the Lathrops in the United Sta Samuel Lathrop was not a founder, but, coming hither as a newcomer a few years after the settlement. he was a “townsman” and took an active part in_public affairs. The meadows at that time were an almost impassable swamp, overgrown with alder brush and infested with rat- tlesnakes and other vermin. Drainage and cultivation for more than 230 vears have changed their aspect Samuel Lathrop and hie father, the Reverend John. came from Lowthorpe in Eng'and, and, as not less than eight houses on Washinzton street between Harland road and Peck’s comners have been owned and occupied by Lathrops, the name Lowthorpe ix appropriate to the meizhborhood and especially to the meadows. which are now heid in trust by the Lowthorpe association, to be kept forever as a free open space, without buildings or encumbrancs= of any kind, for the public zood as the free gift of Miss Emily S. Gilman and Mrs. Louisa Gilman Lane, members of the Seciety of the Founders. TLadies and gentlemen. on the hehalf of Mrs. Lane, it is a great pleasure to welcome vou to the Lowthorpe meadows. After Mr. Gilman’s address the mesr- ing became purely social and many pleasant reminiscences of former meetings were exchanged. PEACH WASTE PREVENTION.
