7. Sadd Memorial Library

by Miss Judy Wills

The Sadd Memorial Library was erected in 1905 as a memorial to the Sadd family.  The building was given by Henry W. Sadd to the Town of South Windsor. The library was dedicated in 1906. After 65 years of use, the library outgrew the building.  In 1971, the library was moved to larger quarters and the building was sold by the Town and converted to commercial offices.

 

Please note that despite possible inaccuracies, we will include the description of each quilt square as published in the 1995 revised and corrected second edition booklet. This second edition was published in celebration of South Windsor’s “sesquicentennial” anniversary, 1845-1995, and was dedicated to the memory of Gail Woodard, who passed away in 1994. The revised edition was compiled by Charles E. Woodward in September, 1995, with the assitance of Doris Burgdorf who provided many historical corrections.
