MANCHESTER 
Rev. George L.. Gleason, former 
pastor of the Congregational church, 
and who is still pleasantly remem- 
bered here, has resigned his pastorate 
of the Riverside church, Haverhill, 
the reasons assigned being his in- 
creasing age (he will enter his 72nd 
year next month) and his belief that — 
the interests of the growing church 
had better be committed to younger 
hands. ‘He is the oldest pastor and 
has held the longest pastorate of any 
minister in the association, nearly 18 
years’’ says the Haverhill Gazette. 
“The resignation was accepted by 
the church with the request that he 
continue in the pastoral office until a 
successor is secured, that he then be- 
come pastor emeritus. The River- 
side church is now stronger and in 
better spiritual and financial condi- 
tion than it has ever been. It has a 
property valued at $15,000 and is 
practically out of debt.” Rev. Mr. 
Gleason was installed pastor of the 
Manchester church, April 7, 1869, 
succeeding Rev. E. P. Tenney, and 
he was dismissed by council at his 
own request, Sept. 21, 1881.
