In Memoriam
MRS. BEATRICE P. GREENE
The Town, and more particularly the Office of the Town Clerk, lost an efficient and valued employee, in the sudden demise on July 5, 1949, of Mrs. Beatrice P. Greene. Mrs. Greene had rendered approximately 27 years of faithful service to the public in the Office of the Town Clerk. She was active in her duties right up until the time of her death, and her radiant, friendly personality is missed, not only by her associates, but by all the general public who had occasion to do business with the Office of the Town Clerk.
