Committees Invitation Committee Frank Grant, Chairman C.H. Abbe Lewis B. Allyn H. W. Kittredge Wm. B. Mahoney F. F. Shepard Honorary Members Lucius F. Thayer Edwin B. Smith Jas. C. Greenough Luther H. Beals This committee has sought to obtain as complete a list as possible of the names and addresses of former residents of Westfield, and descendants of Westfield families living elsewhere. To this end blanks were sent to many Westfield citizens, on which they were asked to place the names and addresses of friends and relatives formerly residing here, and in this way the names of about four thousand of Westfield's absent sons and daughters were obtained. Information about the approaching Quarter-Millennial Celebration has been sent to all of these and subsequently a formal and urgent invitation to attend. It is expected that thousands of these absentees will return to renew old acquaintances and associations on the occasion of Westfield's Jubilee. Committee on Decorations P.N.

They have assumed financial responsibility, but a generous portion of the book has been at the disposal of the committee, and all the subject-matter has been submitted to its approval.
