Report Of Eastham Appeal Board
December 16, 1957

Whitford. whose lingering sickness and suffering was mercifully ended when he was taken from us on November eleventh last. His was a calm, friendly, helpful, and neighborly path in life for which his good friends loved him and for which he will long be remembered. The members of the Board wish to take this opportunity to express these, their senti- ments, and to convey their deepest sympathy to Mr. Whit- ford's family.
