Phillipston
The vestry of the Congregational Church in Phillipston was filled Thursday, Oct. 26, with the townspeople and many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jason Goulding, the occasion being Mr. Goulding's seventy-fifth birthday. It proved a surprise - as intended - to the "squire," who had heard nothing of it until a committee waited upon him to invite him to the vestry. Rev. Dr. Perkins of Ware, formerly pastor of the church in Phillipston, made some very pleasant and appropriate remarks, which he was peculiarly fitted to utter. Letters were read from Rev. C. L. Cushman, pastor of the church, who was unavoidably absent, and others, including Rev. Dr. Chickering of Wakefield. A fine collation was provided by the ladies, and among the presents was an easy chair, the gift of the Phillipston grange. Mr. Goulding has lived in Phillipston, with the exception of seven years, from boyhood. During this time he has been much in public life, having, at different times, held every office in the town; been to the legislature five times as representative and twice as senator, served two terms as county commissioner, and attended as a member of the last Massachusetts constitutional convention.
