Early Days of the Hudson Library (Gon*t*)
After her death, her sister^ Mrs. Louisa
E, Wells of Shortoffj offered the gift
to Highlands as the ’*most accessible and
central point, only asking that it
should bear the name of the Hudson Lib
rary as a loving tribute to the noble
woman in memory of whom the books were
contributed^”
The first president of the Association
was Mr, S. T, Kelsey, Sr*, the founder
of Highlaaids, The compass by which he
laid out the town can be seen in its
especial niche on the right of the door
as one enters the present Library.
The late Professor Harbison, father of
the two present efficient librarians,
Misses Gertrude and Dorothea Harbison,
gave the original room which housed the
nucleus of the Library and also a box of
books from his own collection. This room
was a small wing of the first school
built in Highlands on the same hill as
the ^*Town Clock School.”
Some of the early benefits for the
Librarj’" included a Ladies Fancy-work Sale
in 1895 which netted the sum of $21*88.
This amount represented many hours of
crocheting, quilting and sewing by those
eager to see the Library prosper.
A concert was also given in 1895 for
the benefit of the Hudson Library. This
was performed by a very fine little ama
teur string quartet under the direction
of Mr. Louis Zoellner which "rendered
classical music very pleasantly*” The
quotes are from the Library memoirs of
the late Mrs. J. Jay SniLth who was one of
the most indefatigable early workers for
the Library, its President for many years
and author of the comprehensive History
of the Association.
