A Poem by Honorable Johnson Brigham:

THOMAS BRIGHAM, THE PURITAN

No "doubting Thomas" was our family's founder;
In faith he rode the wide Atlantic's waves.
On yonder rock-ribbed shore he lived, expounder
Of simple creed that Service only Saves.*

His name shall stand with us for strenuous living,
For honest thinking, and for righteous laws;
For humble doing and for noble giving
Of self for conscience or for freedom's cause.

Soul calls to soul, by kinship's ties united;
From out the past we hear a hale godspeed;
Soul answers soul, by trials unaffrighted,
We, too, would serve, or bravely do the deed.

Our course should mark the way of progress plainly.
And bid the true and daring walk therein;
Against it must detraction war but vainly,
Who strives for progress can but grandly win.

*A free translation of the Brigham Family Association motto, "In Cruce Salus."
