On
July 14, 1957, a group of people gathered in Morristown. 1957 marked
the 150th anniversary of Morristown’s First Congregational
Church.
Members
and clergy thought it would be appropriate to pay homage to Morristown’s
first church as part of their sesquicentennial celebration. Fifty
years ago, they erected a commemorative sign near the site of the
town’s first church.
Women
in their Sunday best, including broad-rimmed hats and white gloves,
stood looking on. Also present were Reverends Frank Stockwell and
Walter Cooley, dressed in suits and ties, proudly approving the
new sign.
