JOHN B. McNEILL
On August 24, 1939, with the passing of John B. McNeill, Randolph lost one of its best known and highly respected citizens. He was born in Prince Edward Island on October 27, 1866 and came to Randolph in 1888, being a blacksmith by trade.
In 1913 he was elected a Water Commissioner, for many years serving as Chairman of the Board, and held this position until his death.
In 1919 he was elected Town Clerk and Treasurer, which position he also held until his death.
The last twenty-six years of his life were spent faith- fully serving the public and his knowledge of municipal affairs was ever at the command of his associates. Of a kindly nature he endeared himself in the hearts of all with whom he came in contact and his memory will ever be perpetuated in the annals of the history of Randolph.
