The Somerset County Historical Society met Saturday afternoon in the Court House with an excellent attendance of members. A. V. D. Honeyman, president of the organization, presided and the opening prayer was offered by the Rev. B. V. D. Wyckoff, formerly pastor of the Readington Reformed Church. In his opening remarks. President Honeyman told something of the activities of the organization, which was formed some 25 years ago, and of the passing of some of its most active members during the ensuing years, Dr. Charles Pool, Dr. James LeFevre, Larue Vredenburg, A. G. Anderson, Joshua Doughty, Jr., and others. He regretted mat interest in the society was not as widespread as It had been in the early days of its organization, The annual election of officers, deferred from the Spring meeting, resulted in, the selection of Judge Nelson Y. Dungan as president; A. V. D. Honeyman, first vice president: W. B. R. Mason, second vice president Charles H. Bateman, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. A. Longstreet Stillwell, curator; A. V. D, Honeyman, Dr. Lancelot Ely, Mrs. A. L. C. Hardwicke, George R. Layton and Nelson Y. Dungan, trustees. … One of these was a lock of hair, cut from Washington's head the day following his death and presented to Mrs. Stephen Longfellow, mother of Henry W. Longfellow, its authenticity established beyond question of a doubt. (English)
