 Memorial Hall. 



in Union Academy 



. Dunbar Houghton, born on farm No. 127, was for thirteen years the beloved principal of 

 Belleville Academy and he holds a place with Norris Shepardson and Major Barney in the 

 hearts of the people. At his death the following resolution was passed by the trustees of 

 the Academy: 



"Resolved, that, reared among us, he ceased not to have our welfare educationally and 

 religiously near his heart, giving to us his main energies and work of his life; and as 'it is 

 the strength of a town or community to have its best men in everlasting remembrance,' 

 so it shall be our care that the memory of his life and teachings shall not die."
