Excerpt from 1797-1897 Centennial Celebration of the United Presbyterian (the Old White) Church Building, Salem, Washington County, November 9th, 1897 A score and a half years ago, when the centenary was observed of the settlement in Salem by the congregation from Ballibay, it was strongly urged by many that the proceedings should be published. Preliminaries were arranged, but the plan never came to fruition. Dr. Asa Fitch's valuable and painstaking address was preserved, but only in manuscript, as also were papers full of interesting memories by several aged ministers, poems inspired by the event, speeches congratulatory, reminiscent, forecasting. These have since been collected, and occupy a secure, not obscure, corner in the Public Library. Moreover, although not printed in compact form, they have served as treasuries from which data have been obtained when other mile-stones in the pilgrimage have been reached. The next observable point whence a look back was taken, to inspire a forward march, was the year 1876. Then the clergyman in charge compiled a history, which covers the space from the coming of Dr. Thomas Clark, bringing over the congregation to this country, until the fifth year of the author's pastorate. These five years multiplied into five times five. The quarter-centennial was marked by the retention again of facts worth remembering, which assumed the shape of "The Anniversary Souvenir."
