12 BANQUET TO THE 



twenty years he was President of the Norfolk County 

 Agricultural Society, and for eight years President of 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. For sixteen 

 years he has been President of the New England His- 

 toric Genealogical Society. He has also been active 

 in founding and in aiding other societies. He is the 

 oldest living ex-president of the Massachusetts Sen- 

 ate, and also the oldest ex-commander of the Ancient 

 and Honorable Artillery Company. But I will not 

 continue to enumerate the many important positions 

 of trust which he has held with honor to himself and 

 benefit to his countrymen. I give you as my senti- 

 ment. The HEALTH, PROLONGED LIFE, AND CONTINUED 



usefulness of our welcome guest, the hon. 

 Marshall Pinckney Wilder.
