The Trustees 

 of the Permanent Fund 



As has been briefly stated in the foregoing sketch, on the 

 13th of February 1874, Dexter P. Rumsey, Dr. George E. 

 Hayes and O. H. Marshall were appointed as Trustees of the 

 Permanent Fund which had its first beginnings in the generous 

 legacy of Coleman T. Robinson. Upon their organization Mr. 

 Charles D. Marshall was made the Treasurer of the Fund and 

 through all the changes that have since occurred he has contin- 

 ued to hold that responsible office. 



Any record of the Society's history would be incomplete 

 that failed to pay a tribute of grateful appreciation to Mr. 

 Marshall for the unselfish and devoted service to the Society's 

 best interests which he has so freely given for more than thirty- 

 three years. The watchful care of its investments has taken up 

 no small portion of his time and attention, the burden naturally 

 falling upon his shoulders. One of the original organizers of 

 the Society in 1861, as well as one of its incorporators in 1863 

 his interest in its welfare has been unfailing and that interest 

 has had its practical manifestation in the painstaking service of 

 so many years. In this the Society has indeed been fortunate. 

 Those who with Mr. Charles D. Marshall are now Trustees of 

 the Permanent Fund are, Mr. William H. Glenny, Mr. Robert 

 R. Hefford and Mr. H. H. Littell.
