Century Memorial

Thomas Blagden was a son of the Rev. George W. Blagden, for over forty years pastor of the Old South Church in Boston. He was a man of singularly gentle and winning character, popular with all his associates, and highly respected in the business community. His death in the prime of life has taken from us one of our most genial and valued members.
