This decision caused some of the advocates of the new location to withdraw from the parish. Charles Williams, who had been clerk of the parish since 1854, declined a re-election at the annual meeting in March, 1871. His death occurred June 30, 1871.

Hollander for the first three months; John Viall for five months; and John F. Ayer for the remainder of the year and four years thereafter. In March, 1873, money was appropriated to purchase mottoes with which to embellish the vestry walls. These mottoes, after a long and meritorious service, have lately been retired, and the members of the school can devote more time to the spirit of the law in the absence of these embellishing lette
