Synopsis
Excerpt from Centennial Memorial Serivces: Of Old Alna Meeting-House, Alna, Maine, September 11, 1889
This house had been standing a century's measure of years. By the munificence of individuals, at home and abroad and of the town, it had been repaired and painted in a substantial manner, preserving its original form and features in and out of its antique original.
The big beams supporting galleries, quaint square pews, high pulpit with sounding board, and deacons' seat, and in all antique original finish, had been carefully re-produced at a cost of eight hundred and sixty-one dollars and a half.
The day of celebration dawned auspiciously. Multitudes from the hill-tops and valleys of the Sheepscot in Alna and adjacent towns, and from cities in Maine, filled the old meeting-house.
The old stage coach, the farm wagon and the dashing barouche, piled in their contributions of living and interested comers, from near and from far, till the crowded aisles and seats were oppressively filled. The arrangements of the committee led by B. W. Donnell, Esq., for accommodation and successful execution, were admirably carried out.
The Wiscasset choir aided from other places crowded the ancient singing gallery, and filled the old meeting-house with praise in a volume of song to the tunes of a century ago, which waked the echoes of the dead past, with life and joy of its youthful days.
