Respectfully submitted, THOMAS J. NUGENT, CHARLES V. WAITT, JAMES J. CONNORS,
Selectmen of Milford.
Resolutions on the Death of Maurice E. 1 Nelligan.
WHEREAS, In the early evening of December thirteenth, nineteen hundred and sixteen, there passed from the scenes of this earthly pilgrimage to his eternal rest our associate and friend,
MAURICE E. NELLIGAN,
HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT OF MILFORD, MASS ;
We desire to give expression to our esteem for his mem- ory and place upon record our appreciation of his many virtues and his usefulness and value as a public servant.
Mr. Nelligan had long been associated with the business and official life of Milford, serving the town three years as selectman and a number of years as superintendent of streets.
In all of his public duties he was faithful, efficient and painstaking. He brought to the discharge of his duties a rare tact and skill which won for him the commendation of his townsmen.
He was genial in his intercourse with his fellowmen, and a loyal, true-hearted friend. His charity was extended to all who were deserving. He labored hard during the past year, although physically unfit, to accomplish the great amount of work planned for him to do.
On the day of his death he was attending to his duties and on arrival at his home, was stricken, and his physicians were in constant attendance upon him, but without avail.
61
We shall miss him, but his many ,kind deeds and con- scientious acts will serve as an example for others follow.
RESOLVED : That this memorial be spread upon the records of the selectmen and printed in the annual town re- port.
THOMAS J. NUGENT, CHARLES V. WAITT, JAMES J. CONNORS, Selectmen of Milford .-
