”The honorable list of twenty-four is closed and crowned with the name: “Mrs. Sarah M. Ware, widow of John Ware, Sr.” For the organization and maintenance of the church to the close of his ministry as also for the preservation of its records in the most complete and admirable form, great credit is due to Pastor Seward. The record book, to which little has been added since he left, is, for the time covered by his pastorate, in all respects a model.
Other organizations connected with the society have been or now are the following: Sunday school; Ladies’ Circle, dating from 1880, with Mrs. Sarah Ware as president until her death; Women’s Auxiliary, the Waterville branch of the Unitarian Women’s Auxiliary, having for its object religious study and missionary and denominational work; the Sorosis, a society of the young ladies of the Unitarian church, dating from 1889, and the Fatima Club, both having as their object work in the interest of the society.”
