Mrs. Wallace, who were cousins of Mrs. William R. Gray of Boston. (Register, Vol. XXI, p. 28.) The old meeting-house next had for its neighbor one whose religious tenets were quite unlike those of the people who worshipped within its walls. A French Canadian, a music teacher whose name was Noreau, had a child born to whom the name was given of Jean Baptiste Napoleon Noreau. What a thrill must have run through the frame of the Puritan building when it became aware that the child had been christened by a Roman Catholic priest!
