honored citizen and filled many important
offices with much credit. He was on the
Board of Selectmen for three successive
years, and only the management of large
dairy farm prevented his continuing in
office. He filled the chair of Master of
Quantabacook Lodge of f. and A. Masons,
was master of Victor Grange four years,
and was honored and beloved by all its
members. He was a member of Appleton
