Excerpt from Ceremonies of Laying the Corner-Stone: The Monument, David Williams, One of the Captors of Major Andre, Schoharie Court House, September 23, 1876 The purpose of this publication is to perpetuate the formal part of the ceremonies which occurred at Schoharie on the ninety-sixth anniversary of the Capture of Major Andre, and also to record in an enduring form a brief statement of the manner in which the people of Schoharie county and the surrounding country responded to the suggestion, that the grave of David Williams, one of Andre's captors, should be permanently honored by a monument worthy of the historic act with which his name is associated. The following extract is taken from a description, in the local press, of the celebration which occurred at Schoharie on the 23d day of September, 1876: "Saturday dawned cloudy and cool, but not threatening. The streets were dry but not dusty, and the committee-men in purple ribbons and white ribbons were busily performing the various duties assigned to them before eight o'clock in the morning. People were coming in from every quarter at that early hour, and no one seemed to think that Old Probabilities, who announced rain, knew any thing about the weather. The cars from either direction were crowded inside, and even on their roofs. "At 10 A. M. the steady stream of incoming people was augmented by the arrival of the excursion trains from Albany and Troy, and the day was fairly begun.
