1871

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Elizabeth Richardson

Benjamin Smith Rotch (1817-1882) began a three-year term on the vestry with Rector Alexander Hamilton Vinton. The  reredos  in  our  Sanctuary was given in memory of him, his wife Annie Bigelow Lawrence, and two of their children.

Thanks to Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for this cameo of a younger Benj. S. Rotch.
