IN MEMORIAM.
JAMES LOGAN. .
On December 27, 1924, the community was saddened by the death of James Logan, our colleague on the Board of Se- lectmen, who was elected March 3, 1924, by the largest vote ever given a candidate for that office. He also served the town as a member of the Finance Committee, and a Lieuten- ant in the Ladder Company, Milford Fire Department.
We lament the loss of one who was ever ready to proffer the hand of aid and the voice of sympathy to the needy and distressed of the town.
He was charitable, kind and considerate. Coming to Milford about 27 years ago he became an active citizen of the town; his utmost endeavors were exerted for its welfare and prosperity.
He was a friend who was dear to us all. By his death the Town of Milford has lost a valuable citizen.
