Virginia Louise Doris. a charming lady of boundless energy and enthusiasm from Pawtucket. R.I.. has composed a beautiful poem to honor the memory of Roger Williams. the great freethinker who founded Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Roger Williams. banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because he refused to conform to established religious doctrines in that colony. and on the verge of being arrested and deported because of his nonconformist religious principles. fled from Massachusetts in 1636 and founded the settlement that was to become Rhode Island. Roger Williams settlement became the first free haven of religious worship in the New World. But he gave us more than the great State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
