IN MEMORIAM.
CHARLES EDWARDS GILMAN.
BORN IN SHREWSBURY, MASS., JAN. 1, 1809.
DIED
IN BEDFORD, MASS., FEB. 22, 1888.
Charles Edwards Gilman, born in Shrewsbury in 1809, came in 1838 to that part of Charlestown which is now Somerville. On Walnut Street, than an old range way, he purchased a considerable tract of land, and there he made his home until some years later, when, on the westerly side of Walnut Street, he built a new house. In this he lived until after the death of his wife and son in 1879 and 1881. From that time he resided in Somerville and Bedford with his daughter. Dec. 3, 1841, a meeting of the inhabitants of that part of Charlestown lying west and north-west of the bridge over the Middlesex canal at Charlestown Neck, was held in the Prospect Hill School-house, at the junction of Medford Street and Russell's Lane, (Shawmut Street), to take measures for the setting off of that part of Charlestown named, as a separate town. At this meeting Mr. Gilman was chosen the first of a committee of ten to obtain the names of those inhabitants favorable to a separation; and at a meeting of this committee on the same day he was made its chairman.
Petitions for the setting off and incorporation of the Town of Somer- ville, prepared by this committee, were presented to the Legislature, and March 3, 1842,an act of incorporation, as prayed for, was obtained. The first warrant for a meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Somerville was issued March 5, 1842, by Ephraim Buttrick, Esq., of East Cambridge to Charles Edwards Gilman, an inhabitant of said
379
ANNUAL REPORTS.
Town of Somerville, and in pursuance of this warrant, the inhabitants of the new town having been duly warned and notified, the first town meeting was called to order and the warrant read by Mr. Gilman, March 14, 1842, in the Prospect Hill School-house.
At this meeting Mr. Gilman was unanimously elected Town Clerk and annually reelected. He served in that capacity until the Town became the City. Under the act to establish the City of Somerville, approved April 14, 1871, the first City Council assembled for organi- zation Jan. 1st, 1872, and Mr. Gilman was elected City Clerk. This office he filled until his death on the 22d of February, 1888.
He presided, as usual, at the inauguration of the City Govern- ment Jan. 2,1888, and was at his desk during that afternoon, but for the last time. As he left the City Hall for the day he became ill and never returned to his work.
At a special meeting of the City Council held Feb. 23d to take action on his death, the following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, the sad intelligence of the death of Charles E. Gilman, City Clerk of this municipality, having been received, and the City Council in joint con- vention duly assembled for the purpose of paying its last tribute of respect to his memory, therefore,
Resolved, That his unparalleled career of forty-six years of public service as town and city clerk was marked by a conscientious and energetic dis- charge of his official obligations, a courteous and affable bearing to his fellow- citizens, a genial, kind and generous impulse, and an honorable, unswerving integrity of character. He devoted his whole time to the faithful perform- ance of the duties incident to the office which he so much loved, and it can truthfully be said that he was permitted to round out a busy life with the full measure of its usefulness. His pleasant and happy disposition endeared him in the hearts of many friends, and he will be remembered with pleasant reflections by the large circle of our citizens who have been and are now interested in the administration of town and city affairs.
Resolved, That this tribute of sympathy and esteem be conveyed to the family and relatives of the deceased, and engrossed upon the records, and in further recognition of his departed worth the City Council attend the funeral in a body.
It was voted also that the portrait of Mr. Gilman, in the Mayor and Aldermen's chamber, be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days in token of respect for his memory.
The funeral services held at the First Methodist Episcopal Church, on Bow Street, Feb. 25th, were conducted by Rev. J. W. Hamilton, the pastor, and Rev. George W. Durell, chaplain of John Abbott
