    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Program booklet to celebrate life of Lyn Wiley (May 14, 1942-July 29, 2006). Lyn was a remarkable woman who suffered from cancer for twenty years but gave of her energy wherever she could. She wrote these words before she died: &quot;When I die I will not be floating with the clouds and I will not be with a man/woman with God and angels with wings. I was born from the love of my mother and father and they from theirs. What is me is energy, energy that will leave my body on death and continue through you, whom I have loved with my energy and those who have loved me. Let your sadness be limited and know it is now better for my mortal body........&quot; She was also the leader of the Worthington Bells at Church after the death of Michael A. McAnulty.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Historic Event]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Articles written by Sean Reagan from the Daily Hampshire Gazette reporting the sale of Ben Albert&#039;s farm land a follows:&quot;It took the Albert family decades to build one of the east coast&#039;s premier potato farms. At a foreclosure auction on Saturday, it fell to other hands in just over two hours. Jim Villasenor, broker/owner of Bethlehem Realty Associates, acting on behalf of Milltowne Plaza, Inc., a Glenmont, NY based farming corporation, bought all 550 acres of  Ben albert&#039;s Worthington farmland for $700,000. Villasenor said the buyer would begin farming the approximately 365 acres of land that is currently in the state&#039;s APR program immediately. The likely crop, he said, would be the corporation&#039;s NY mainstay, corn and soybeans. As to the balance, which includes sufficient road frontage to warrant at least moderate development, Villasenor said that his client had not yet considered his options. A hot sun and no breeze did little to dissuade 16 bidders and over 100 bystanders from gathering for the auction which took place at the end of the airstrip where Albert used to take off and land in his private jet..... The 500 acres were broken into 4 lots..... The sale did not make up all the arrears Albert owed the government ..... Villasenor did not rule out selling portions of the farm to other buyers.....No residential houses can be built on that land..... Albert who lives in a nursing home did not attend the sale.&quot;<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Black framed announcement of the &quot;Arrangement for the Grand and Solemn Funeral Procession which is to take place on the 26th of May inst. 1808, at interment of the remains of eleven thousand five hundred American Seamen, Soldiers and Citizens, who suffered martyrdom on board the Jersey and other British prison ships, in the harbor of New York, during the American Revolution....&quot; According to Bob Randal, Military Historian and Vice President of the Historical Society, in the early days of the Revolutionary War the American militia comprised very untrained, ordinary men from the age of 16 to 60 who were, if not killed by the British, taken prisoners. Because there were so few British soldiers taken prisoner there was little hope of an exchange of prisoners. These 11,500 men were put on a ship hulk in the harbor of New York City. They were there until they died a horrible death of either freezing, of hunger, thirst, or heat. Some years after this brutality in the Revolutionary War there was a funeral procession for their remains. These men were unknown.  <br />

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Town Government]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This is a newsclipping from the Hilltown News (precursor to the Country Journal?), 1964,  stating: &quot;Worthington has first women serving on Town Finance Board - Mrs. Raymond H. Sears and Mrs. Richard B. Smith, newly appointed members of the Finance Board in Worthington, seem to be stirring up something. Whether discussing their children, or the affairs of the town, either will come in for proper consideration.&quot;  This is an article by Lois Ashe Brown. Moderator Ralph A. Moran said &quot;even women will be welcome!&quot; &quot;For the most part the office is advisory and carries with it a degree of prestige. Members serve without pay. Both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sears have had considerable experience with figures and both are respected for their ability at record keeping. Both women have held offices in town and county organizations. And have assisted their husbands in their respective businesses. Newsprint of Nancy, Scott, Beverly Smith at various times.

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[People]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This one page brief account of Ernestine Perry was given to Bee Smith by Pat Pease who then gave it to the WHS. It reads: &quot;Ernestine Perry - lives in Maryland with her son. In 1952 on a  Washington School trip from the Huntington High School, because Ernestine was &#039;colored&#039; the class was treated differently, such as: - couldn&#039;t walk on the same side of the street as white people; - some restaurants wouldn&#039;t let them in; - some theaters wouldn&#039;t let them in. It was a different experience for these students from rural New England&quot; [who were not aware of such prejudice.] [Interestingly, the class stood by Ernestine and none of the students went to the places not available to Ernestine. This paper is filed in the &quot;P&quot; folder (number 52-30)]]></dcterms:description>
