Excerpt from Maine Historical Memorials Historical Society at its annual meeting in June, 1921. Anotice of this appointment came to me soon after in Eng land, but the writing of the paper was deferred until the winter following my return. The service to which I was called in this way was a welcome one. I had had large Opportunities of knowing Mr. Baxter personally. We became members of the Maine Historical Society on the same day in 1878, and we were not only intimately asso ciated in the work of the society in that early period, but in other relations, social and civic. When I first knew him, however, he had not only already brought his busi ness activities to a close, but was ready, in the full vigor of life, for new activities having reference to the. History and advancing honor of his native state, and to the improve ment and adornment of the beautiful city in which he lived. With what high hopes and purposes he wrought, abundant in labors continued into a ripe old age, I have aimed to indicate in my narration. My thanks are due to Hon. Percival P. Baxter, governor of Maine, for the use of the fine photograph of his father from which the print, facing the opening page of this paper, was prepared.
