Proceedings of the Dedication of the Fountain on Eaton Square, Ward 24, October 24, 1885
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Dedication of the Fountain on Eaton Square, Ward 24, October 24, 1885
MY dear sir, Â The interesting and successful dedication of the Lyman Fountain at Dorchester, October 24, was an occasion of which many citizens of Boston and other places desire a more complete history than has been given, and to this end I have been requested to collect and arrange the speeches, letters, and other material having reference to the event. The story and commemorative purpose Of the fountain may be familiar to the Boston public of to-day, but, to give this memorial lasting value, it should contain a statement of the origin, construction, and motive of this conspicuous tribute to an eminent citizen. To vour zeal and wise counsel Boston is primarily indebted for this beautiful testimonial to a public benefactor, and I appeal to you for a statement of such facts as you may think proper to give.
