Report of the Committee to draft resolutions upon the death of Samuel H. Pierce.
At the recent annual Town Meeting, held March 7, it was announced that Samuel Hoar Pierce had died on the Saturday preceeding, being then far advanced in his ninetieth year; and, thereupon, a committee, con- sisting of the undersigned, was appointed to draft an expression of the sense of deep regret with which the announcement had been received.
Now, therefore, in pursuance of the vote above re- ferred to, the following is submitted for entry in the Town Records:
Born in Cambridge, July 11, 1820, Samuel Hoar Pierce was, no less by descent than by residence, identi- fied with Lincoln throughout his mature and active life. Sprung in direct male line from Charles Hoare, in 1634 Sheriff of Gloucester, England, Mr. Pierce, a New Englander by both father and mother's sides through six generations of ancestors born on the soil, as a man and a citizen was distinctly typical of the Massachusetts Town Meeting period, now largely replaced by city form of government. Of that period he was a survival, the last in Lincoln. Public spirited, conscientiously faithful and scrupulously honest in the discharge of civic and official functions, he was of those, who, in their generations, did for the towns in which they lived as they did for them- selves.
Chairman of the Board of Water Commissioners, Member of the Board of Selectmen, Member of the School
17
Committee, Trustee of the Public Library, Represen- tative in the General Court,-in each capacity, Mr. Pierce safeguarded the interests of the public as if his own. He was one of those through whose foresight, the prior rights in the water supply within its borders were by law specifically reserved to it.
By predilection and calling an agriculturist, his skill and knowledge were ever at the service of his fellow- townsmen. Influential in all municipal matters, he was in his day easily a leader in Town meeting; shrewd in council, he was in speech keen, incisive, logical. With a natural instinct for the legal point of view, his strength lay in an inborn common sense. Generous after the New England fashion, he was ever ready to lend assist- ance to those associated with him. Scorning secret detraction, his contemporaries bore evidence to the charm of his personality. Though the field of his activi- ties was confined and local, nature had so fashioned him, that had occasion offered, he would, no less than his Concord kinsman of the same generation, have bore a not inconspicuous part in larger forums.
Therefore, the foregoing is, by direction of the citizens of Lincoln in town meeting assembled, to be now entered in full on the Town records as a lasting testimonial to the life, character, and work of yet another member of a generation that is gone,-a useful citizen, a faithful official and a true man of the pure Massachusetts stock.
A copy of the foregoing will also, in accordance with the vote of the Town, be communicated to the family of Mr. Pierce.

Committee.
