In Memoriam 1871 -1948
EDWARD S. COGSWELL
A true as the words of the ancient bard, "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players." So, today the passing of friends and town notables is a process in our way of living; with our town truly a living stage. It is very seldom that we find one outstanding performer loved by all and, when we do, upon his passing we pause in deep consideration of the true values of living and serving.
The passing of Edward Stacy Cogswell from our way of life has left a great gap in our town; one that we feel will never be fully replaced. Yet, unlike most men of high sta- tion, his passing marks the beginning of an era instead of the usual ending of an era in town affairs. His death, brought upon by his years, and his bountiful service; both devotedly and unselfishly, marked the beginning of an era in our town. It marks the advent of wide-awake interest and activity in the affairs and duties of our town. No longer will the citizenry gauge future officials by their words or stature; instead, the duty will be measured by deeds and action - as Edward S. Cogswell lived and served.
Back in the year of 1871, when a son, Edward Stacy Cogswell, was born to John H. Cogswell, a lumber dealer, and his wife, Frances (Dodge) Cogswell, no one then ever gave thought to the day when he would eventually be the most honored and beloved town official the Town of Ipswich ever produced. Such are the methods by which men can climb and achieve in this land of ours; from the fertile soil of a democratic government there can come forth men of high caliber and deeds.
It is interesting to look back through the old Town Records and read once more the history of our own. During the year of 1926, the Annual Town Election was held on March the eighth with six candidates for the office of Town Clerk. That election saw Edward S. Cogswell elected to that office, and re-elected through the years to 1947 when he was again re-elected. His term of office was un-expired at the time of his retirement and death.
Although many honors have been conferred upon him by officials of this town, other towns and cities, and by men of state, he lived and served the common man. In his serving he became known as "Cappie", and by that friendly name he was truly loved by the young and the old. The mere fact that today many of the plain men of all walks of life cherish the copies of various game licenses in their posses- sion simply because they were signed by "Cappie" is a fine token of the regard they all highly hold for Edward S. Cogswell.
Years before his entrance into town affairs and public office, "Cap" was a distinguished figure amongst the men that sailed, and he enjoyed ships all his life. From his love of the sea, the men he met, and the times he enjoyed, he sailed on so to speak into the ship of state of our town; always keeping a true course of statesmanship. Despite the fact that he was a registered Republican, he served all par- ties and faiths impartially. No better example of even fortitude and patience ever graced the political life of Ipswich.
All through the years, Edward S. Cogswell or "Cappie", which ever you prefer, served his people. He also took it upon himself to look after the "dumb animal population" of Ipswich. The story of his care of cats and dogs is well known and will be long remembered. This was truly a saintly example of a true friend of all that lived. He surely must have given the "Golden Rule" and the thought, "live and let live", a great deal of consideration. He surely gave us a good idea how we who follow can best serve our town, and how mindful we should be of others in order to help make this a better world in which to live.
During his many years of public office, there were often times of political argument and uncertainty. To solve these as they arose, he worked eagerly for the peaceful solution for the best interests of all parties equally. From the dis- agreements there perhaps has come a better understanding
of the problems of our town. He tried to show to us that we cannot and must not take our town and its business matter-of-factly. It is safe to conjecture that his death on an evening of an Annual Town Meeting awakened many of us to the belief that we must work to save the fine herit- age passed on to us by the pioneers and statesmen of ages past.
On the evening of March 1, 1948, the voters of Ipswich were in Town Meeting assembled when the word was an- nounced of the sudden death of Edward S. Cogswell. Like a great stage set amidst our human existence, the drama of every day living ceased; the silence gripped each and every heart. Upon this tragedy, the following resolution was adopted by the Town of Ipswich, and spread upon the Town Records :
Resolution
Whereas, Edward S. Cogswell has been a beloved citizen and devoted official of the Town of Ipswich and
Whereas, his death this evening has been announced to the citizens assembled in annual town meeting and has saddened all present
Now, Therefore, be it and it is hereby unanimously Resolved: that this Meeting go on record by silent standing vote as being deeply grieved by the death of their beloved fellow-citizen, Edward S. Cogswell and
Resolved: that a copy of this Resolution be sent to the family and that it be spread upon the Town Records.
Words will never fully describe the loss we all feel for Edward S. Cogswell. In the years to come we will recall his deeds and actions in memory, and to all these we will recall his deeds and actions in memory, and to all these we will truly add, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Tribute to Howard Nott Doughty
Amongst those deaths that saddened our town this past year, the death of Howard Nott Doughty on September 20, 1948 was keenly felt.
Howard N. Doughty, as a former Town Accountant, member of the School Committee, member of the Town Finance Committee, and as Trustee of the Ipswich Public Library, was an ideal town official; serving to the best of his ability.
His many contributions to Ipswich will be long remem- bered; especially his work during those dark days of uncer- tainty while our nation was at war.
His firmness in his beliefs of that which was right, and his guidance and patience with those of us whom he taught, will be ever cherished.
The Town of Ipswich will ever recall his name and deeds.
Tribute to Frank Hovey Girard
The Board of Registrars of Voters suffered a deep loss when its Chairman, Frank H. Girard was taken by death on December 9, 1948.
From his first appointment to the Board of Registrars on May 20, 1915 to the date of his death; 26 years as Chair- man, Frank H. Girard served the Board and his Town ably and faithfully.
Aside from his regular duties as a Registrar, he also served as Assistant and Temporary Town Clerk under differ- ent terms of that office. He also was a tireless worker when needed by the Public Welfare agency and other town officers.
His tireless energy, his frankness of opinion, and his service to the Town of Ipswich will be ever missed and remembered.
Tribute to Frank R. Starkey
The Town of Ipswich was saddened by the death of Frank R. Starkey on October 27, 1948.
As a former Selectman and Cemetery Commissioner, Frank R. Starkey served his native town with pride and ability; leaving with those he served, a keen sense of pa- tience and integrity.
A life-long resident of Ipswich, he was well and widely known as he worked and shared in our everyday existence.
