Article 5. Mr. Atherton N. Hunt presented and read the following resolutions on the death of Captain James T. Stevens as the report of a committee appointed at the last Annual meeting.
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree :
Your Committee appointed to prepare resolutions upon the death of the Honorable, Captain James Trimble Stevens, have attended to their duty and beg leave to present the fol- lowing resolutions.
The Honorable, Captain James Trimble Stevens, ripe in years and rich in experience, service and honor, died on the sixteenth day of March, 1923, at Braintree, in the midst of the scenes of his boyhood and surrounded by his family.
Captain Stevens was born in Braintree, June 20, 1835. He was educated in the public schools of Braintree and later attended the Hollis Institute, the private school established under the will of the late John Ruggles Hollis. On complet- ing his education, he entered the employ of the late Apollos Randall, a tack manufacturer, having works at South Brain- tree. The outbreak of the war of the Rebellion found him still engaged in that employment. Answering the first call of President Lincoln for three months' volunteers, he enlisted in Company C, 4th Massachusetts Infantry, and holding the rank of Lieutenant proceeded at once with his regiment to Fortress Monroe. In 1864, he again went to the front as Cap- tain of Company I, 42nd Massachusetts Volunteers.
28
On his return to Braintree at the close of the War, he went into business as a tack manufacturer being associated for a time with the late David H. Bates, and later with his brother-in-law George Dallas Willis, under the firm and style of Stevens & Willis. He was married in 1860 to Myra F. Willis; who survives him, together with a son, George W. Stevens and a daughter Mrs. Louis W. Thayer.
His public service in one capacity or another covered practically all the years since 1865. He served the Town as a Representative to the General Court and later as a Sen- ator. He was always interested in town affairs and gave freely of his time and means for everything tending to its betterment, serving on many important committees. When the Town took over the water works from private control, Captain Stevens was elected as one of the first Board of Water Commissioners and was immediately chosen Chairman. This office he held for more than thirty-two years up to the time of his decease.
He was well known in the Masonic Fraternity, being a member of Delta Lodge, A. F. & A. M., was a charter member of General Thayer Post Grand Army Republic, a member of the Minute Men's Association, of the Norfolk County As- sociation of the Grand Army of Republic and of the Braintree Club.
Therefore, be it Resolved, that, in the death of James Trimble Stevens the community has lost a patriot and citizen of firm convictions, mature judgment, decisive action and great moral influence; that the Town has been deprived of a public servant whose career of service has been as remark- able in length as it has been in distinction; that his family and a host of personal friends have lost the guiding presence of a thoughtful associate, a wise councillor, a delightful com- panion, as kindly and gentle in his personal relations as he was upright and firm in his public service; that these resolu- tions be spread upon the records of the Town of Braintree and a copy thereof sent to the family of Captain Stevens.
29
May his memory live, and may his life, his work and his ir- reproachable character prove an inspiration for succeeding generations and furnish a conspicuous example of the type of man to whom should be given love and trust and honor.
Respectfully submitted,
ATHERTON N. HUNT, ALBERT E. AVERY, WILLIAM L. GAGE, F. EUGENE DYER, ELMER E. ABERCROMBIE.
Voted, to adopt the resolutions and carry out the recom- mendations of the Committee.
