The Meeting House Green Memorial and Historical Association held its fifth annual meeting in Tuck Hall October 12, 1929. Fifty members and their friends were present. The week-end holiday prevented a much larger attendance. The feature of the meeting was the unveil- ing of a fine picture of the Association's founder, the Rev. Ira S. Jones. This was followed by a program of historic interest. The members expressed a wish that an open air meeting be held in the summer, that the town people as well as the summer visitors, see the park and grounds of Tuck House when they look their best. Town water was brought to the park in 1929 and proved a great help, during the unusually dry season, to Mr. Brad- bury, the efficient care—taker. The interior of the log cabin has been refinished and furnished to look like an early home, the antiques suitable for such a place having been assembled there. During the winter Mr. Bradbury has done the painting and repairing necessary to keep the Tuck House in its usual attractive condition. Books, papers and articles relating to the early life of the town have been given from time to time to add to the collect- ion at Tuck House. Two hundred and eleven names were inscribed on the register, kept by Mrs. Bradbury, in Tuck Hall during the past year. More than twice the number of preceeding year. Many visitors did not re- gister. They came from all parts of the country with one from France, and two from Wales. Attracted by the unique memorial or through their Hampton ancestry, among them was Mr. John C. Chase, president of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The associ- ation is slowly growing and that its interest is broaden- ing may be seen by the names of out-of-town persons some of them summer residents who were present and

joined it at the annual meeting as follows : Mr. Fred B. French, South Hampton, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hutch- inson, Brighton, Mass., Mr. William S. Leavitt, Boston, Mass., Mr. H. C. Little, Lynn, Mass., Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Tufts, Exeter. Due chiefly to the generousity of Mr. Edward Tuck of Paris, France, benefactor of Hampton and all New Hampshire, the financial condition of the Association is such as enables it to be a credit to its founder and an honor to the early settlers, whose mem- 73 ory and tradition it would preserve.

The officers are : Honorary president, Mr. Edward Tuck, President, Mr. William Brown, Vice-president, Mr. Richard B. Shelton, Treasurer, Mrs. Vina M. Jones, Recording secretary, Mrs. Clara P. Miner, Corresponding- secretary, Mrs. Caroline C. Shea, Auditor, Mr. George Ashworth. 74 CEMETERY REPORT
