1- o UJ z en :i^ en< UJ ABOUT THE COVER The front cover depicts the East Kingston Community United Methodist Church, as it appeared m the 1880's. This church was built in 1842 and was largely abandoned because the conference did not station preachers in East Kingston from 1857 through 1873. hi 1873, the.Methodist Episcopal Society was formed, and in 1891 the building was restored, and the tower added. A bell was donated m 1892, and m 1899 Mr. and Mrs. Allan Morrill donated a handsome Tower Clock, thereby, conferring a public benefit to the citizens of East Kingston.* Many citizens in Town believe that the Town owned the church clock, and how this came about cannot be found in any record. However, in the 1950 Town Report, there is an account that justifies this belief or at least a financial responsibility that the Town had to the church, hi the Town Report under Town Expenses called "Unclassified," it states the followmg: Church Clock - Earl Stewart, Winding Clock to October 1 - $18.75; William Galos, Winding Clock, October 1 to Dec. 31 - $6.75 and Archie A. Rose, Work on Church Clock - $12.00 - Total $37.50. Archie Rose wound the clock for many years, and as a young boy, Larry Smith often assisted him. There is quite a difference between this picture of the church, and the present day church. The church appears back then to resemble our present day Town Hall. The addition of the Tower is the greatest difference, along with the canopy roofs over the doors. Note that there is a dirt road and a lack of trees, with only bushes, which was typical of the 1800's. Today the church is undergoing more construction with the addition of a parking lot. We express our appreciation to the EKCUM Church for granting permission to use the picture. Source: 250* Anniversary Committee townreport2004 -j^ I. 2004 East Kingston Town Report In Memory AMANDA J. ROSSI GALLANT RICHARD A. COOK 03/06/1967 - 11/03/2004 08/26/1941 - 08/04/2004 During 2004, the Town of East Kingston lost two very important residents who gave unselfishly of their time to their community. Amanda Gallant was a lifelong resident of East Kingston, and through working for the family business "Rossi Construction," she knew everyone and all the streets and back roads of the Town. She helped our "Road Agent" (also known as her father, Bob Rossi) to keep our roads plowed, sanded and salted during the winter months, and operated Bob's Septic Service with her husband Matt; as well as serving on local Town boards. Amanda served as our Emergency Management Operations Center Director, a member of the Planning Board, the East Kingston Fire Department and the East Kingston Volunteer Fire Association. Amanda was always very cheerful, and consistently willing to lend a hand with any situation. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend who gave of herself to her "hometown" as well as her wonderful family. Amanda will be sorely missed by all. Richard "Dick" Cook was always seen with a smile on his face. He was always a true gentleman, who had a kind word for everyone. Dick offered his valuable knowledge and expertise by participating on the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Seacoast MPO Advisory Committee, along with being a member of the East Kingston Fire Department and Boy Scouts. Dick was a partner of Tri-C Manufacturing in East Kingston prior to retiring, as well as Franklin Park, LLC. He was also a devoted family man, a wonderful friend, and will be greatly missed. 2004 East Kingston Town Report TOWN OF EAST KINGSTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE SELECTMEN 1940 - Present Charles W.
