HE Memortiat Founvatn, erected on the South Com- 
mon in Ipswich, by Mr. and Mrs. Francis R. Appleton 
in memory of their son, James Appleton, was dedicated 
last Thursday afternoon. The impressive exercises were 
attended by members of the Appleton family, many of 
the summer residents, the board of selectmen and other 
officials, as well as a large number of townspeople. The 
and Francis R. 
Appleton, Jr., brothers of James Appleton, and was pre- 
sented to the town by Francis R. Appleton. Mr. Apple- 
ton referred to the fact that his son had spent all of his 
life in Ipswich, and was buried here, that he had dearly 
loved the place, and was devotedly attached to all that 
Ipswich signified, as all his fathers had been for many 
generations. In conclusion Mr. Appleton said that the 
fountain is to be accepted not only for what it is, a mem- 
orial fountain, but as an enduring symbol of the ties 
which bind, and have always bound, the members of the 
Appleton family to the town of Ipswich. 
Dr. Frank W. Keyes, chairman of the board of select- 
men, accepted the fountain on behalf of the Ipswich people. 
Hon. Geo. A. Schofield of the town and the Rev. Roland 
Cotton-Smith of Washington, and one of the summer 
colony, made interesting addresses. Rev. Wm. G. Thayer 
of St. Mark’s School, and also of the summer colony, 
pronounced: the benediction. 
The fountain is a handsome piece of work of Ten- 
nessee marble. It stands about twelve feet high. The 
tablet bears the following inscription : 
“Tn memory of James Appleton, 1889-1915.” Be- 
low this inscription there is a quotation, being the first 
verse of the poem entitled “Killed at the Ford,” written 
by Longfellow. The wording is as follows:

He, the life and light of us all, 
Whose voice was blithe as a bugle call, 
Whom all eyes followed with one consent, 
The cheer of whose laugh and whose pleasant word, 
Hushed all murmurs of discontent.” 
Beneath this tablet, a public drinking cup has been 
installed, and on the marble base, below this cup, appears 
the following lines, found on an old fountain at Shanklin, 
on the Isle of Wight: 
“Drink of this fountain, 
Pure and sweet, 
It flows for the rich and poor the same, 
The cup of water 
In His name.” 
The memorial fountain has been placed in an appro- 
priate location. Behind it is the cemetery in which James 
Appleton and other members of the Appleton family are 
buried. Still nearer to the fountain is the South Common 
the center of so much of the early life of Ipswich. In 
front of it is the South Congregational church, where the 
early members of the Appleton family worshipped. In 
front of it also is the cross roads, where the future stream 
of passing humanity may stop for a moment for a re- 
freshing drink of water.
