As a Memorial of Her Mother.

New York, 1895

Mr. and Mrs. George W. Bergen, of Freeport, have presented to the Presbyterian church the chapel and lot adjoining. The chapel was built as a memorial to Mrs. Elizabeth Carman, mother of Mrs. Bergen. After services in the Presbyterian church on Sunday a special service was held in commemoration of the presentation. The Rev. K. P. Ketcham, pastor of the church, thanked the aged couple for their munificent gift.
