Excerpt from Proceedings of the Centennial Anniversary of the Old Town of Cambridge The celebration of the centennial anniversary of the founding of the old town of Cambridge was first suggested by Hon. Anson Ingraham, of the present town of Cambridge, in a brief letter dated February 28, 1873, addressed to the editor of the Washington County Post, calling attention to the fact that we had entered on the one hundredth year of the history of the old town, and suggesting that the event be commemorated. This letter was published, with editorial comment, seconding its suggestions, and recommending that at the ensuing town meetings, then at hand, in the three towns comprised in the boundaries of the old town, five gentlemen be appointed from each town, there to form a central committee to arrange for the proper observance of the occasion. This recommendation was acted on and the following gentlemen appointed: Cambridge - Thomas S. Green, William Dimick, Cortland Skinner, Berry Long, John Ashton. White Creek - R. King Crocker, John Larmon, W. I. Perry, George Barker, James Ellis. Jackson - George McGeoch, Thomas B. Lourie, William Thompson, William McMillan, William Watkins, J. E. Robertson.
