Joshua Stetson Gray Died Jan. 14, 1932
In Memorian
It is with profound sorrow that we record the passing of
Joshua Stetson Gray
our late Town Treasurer. Elected Treasurer in 1894, served as Treasurer and Collector from 1895 to 1908, and Treasurer from 1909 to 1928. This long record of public service bespeaks the high esteem in which he was held by the people.
His faithful devotion to his duties marked him as an outstanding official of our town.
The closing of his energetic and useful life deprives us of his friendship and dependable council. His memory will be cherished.
In Memoriam
George &. Lapham Died December 28, 1931
Served us for many years as Election Officer. Always faithful to his duties, the town loses a genial servant and an esteemed citizen.
In Memoriam
Henry O. Fantom Died March 12, 1932
Sewerage Commissioner from 1920 to 1931. We sorrow in the passing of this valued citizen of our com- munity.
