TOWN RECORDS
Mr. Frost, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, presented the following resolution on the demise of Right Reverend Matthew J. Flaherty, former Pastor of St. Agnes' Church, which was adopted by a unanimous standing vote:
IN MEMORIAM
By the death on March 20, 1952, of Right Reverend Matthew J. Flaherty, the Town of Arlington has lost one of its foremost citizens.
Monsignor Flaherty had served as Pastor at St. Agnes' Church from 1914 until his retirement in 1951, for a total of thirty-seven years.
During these many years, in addition to devoted service to his chosen calling, he made outstanding contributions to the civic welfare of the entire town. He was a distinguished leader in every worthwhile enterprise for the betterment of Arlington.
In the death of Monsignor Flaherty the town has suffered the loss of a great and good friend.
We sincerely mourn his passing. Therefore: Be it resolved that this Memorial be inscribed upon the records of our Town Meeting this twenty-fourth day of March, 1952, and that the Town Meeting Mem- bers stand for a moment of silent tribute to the memory of Monsignor Flaherty.
