In Memoriam
FRANK F. WESTON 1880 1945 Born in Middleboro, March 1, 1880 Died in Carver, April 13, 1945
He attended the Carver public schools and, in fact, his home being so near the Carver town boundary line, many of his interests and associations were centered here.
He spent much of the early part of his life with his father, the late S. T. Weston, in the lumber and trucking business.
In 1921, by special act of the Legislature, the boundary line between Middleboro and Carver was changed and thereby both Frank and his father became residents of Carver.
About 1930 he became interested in the cranberry busi- ness on a large scale and purchased bogs in Duxbury. These, with his holdings in Middleboro and Carver, he conducted successfully until the time of his death. He also did considerable contract work for the cranberry industry. He held the office of Road Commissioner from 1922-1934, was appointed Superintendent of Streets 1935- 1937, when he became Highway Surveyor, which office he held until his death.
He was married to Bertha Florence Vaughan of this town in 1906 and leaves a family of four sons, Mrs. Weston having passed on two years previous to his death.
He was a charter member of Wm. S. McFarlin Camp 132, Sons of Veterans and also a charter member of South Carver Grange.
Because of his response at all times to help and advise in both town and social affairs, he will be long remem- bered by the citizens of Carver. His interest in highway work and his ability to handle varying labor conditions made him an outstanding leader.
In Memoriam
JOHN F. TUBMAN
1894
---- 1945
John was born in Brewster April 6, 1894, and spent most of his early life on the Cape. He was always interested in agriculture and operated a cranberry bog in Carver.
He came to Carver in 1921 and has served the town as Tree Warden and Gypsy Moth Superin- tendent for 14 years, holding these offices at the time of his death. He also held the office of Forest Warden and Park Commissioner for several years.
He was a member of Wm. S. McFarlin Camp 132. His interest in affairs of the town and other activities, along with his willingness to help his fellowmen, will not soon be forgotten by those who knew him.
