HERMAX S HAZEX A Xelghbors Tribute

Some of our who are soon returnshying to our beloved Shirley to spend the summer months there will sadly mlss one who has- been associated with it in such useful and prominent ways for so long a period I voice the feelings of many who corhe and go from time to time in Shirley and when 1 say that we all have considered It a- great privilege to know even slightly so good a man as the late Herman Hazen He embodied those sterling qualities which have made Xew England rnen such apower not only in their native communities but out in the larger world Had he gone w-hen a yopng man to a large citv undoubtedly he would-have been as irust^-d and serviceable there as he has been with us and his fellow citishyzens would have been disposed to enshytrust to him the highest offices within their bestowal But in that case Shirley would have lost one who has been in many respects Its first citizen whose strong firm hand helped to guide the course of our common afshyfairs in such a Way that the greatest good of all concerned should be pro-moled The salary which he received was small compensation for the inshydustry wisdom and Integrity w-hich marked his public activitv Personshyally I may venture to say that w-hen I tirst acquired a little property in Shirley he was the man who assisted mc in the business transaction Involvshyed and then as often since then I was Impressed with his scruoulous desire to be fair just and absolutely honest

It is a joy to me to recall the last interview with him only a few w-eeks before his death in which the deep tender alfoctionate nature disclosshyed itself and I had a glimpse of the strength and reach of the affection which he cherished for his dearest ones He went on to speak of the desire that had ruled him all his life to be on friendly terms yith everyone When others have trodden on mv toes he remarkshyed with a smile 1 haVe tried to act as if I did not notice it What a lesson to us all as to the spirit w-ith which he should enter Into neighborshyly relationship never cherishing susshypicions or resentments as well as seeking never to give offense to othshyers Whenever we recall that erect figshyure that ebvstic step that kind face that )iersonallty that always seemed so self-reliant and so competent we shall also recall with gratitude to God the fact that for all his long life he kept the pure the child-like and the loving heart Howard A Brldgman

HERMAX S HAZEX A Xelghbors Tribute

Some of our who are soon returnshying to our beloved Shirley to spend the summer months there will sadly mlss one who has- been associated with it in such useful and prominent ways for so long a period I voice the feelings of many who corhe and go from time to time in Shirley and when 1 say that we all have considered It a- great privilege to know even slightly so good a man as the late Herman Hazen He embodied those sterling qualities which have made Xew England rnen such apower not only in their native communities but out in the larger world Had he gone w-hen a yopng man to a large citv undoubtedly he would-have been as irust^-d and serviceable there as he has been with us and his fellow citishyzens would have been disposed to enshytrust to him the highest offices within their bestowal But in that case Shirley would have lost one who has been in many respects Its first citizen whose strong firm hand helped to guide the course of our common afshyfairs in such a Way that the greatest good of all concerned should be pro-moled The salary which he received was small compensation for the inshydustry wisdom and Integrity w-hich marked his public activitv Personshyally I may venture to say that w-hen I tirst acquired a little property in Shirley he was the man who assisted mc in the business transaction Involvshyed and then as often since then I was Impressed with his scruoulous desire to be fair just and absolutely honest

It is a joy to me to recall the last interview with him only a few w-eeks before his death in which the deep tender alfoctionate nature disclosshyed itself and I had a glimpse of the strength and reach of the affection which he cherished for his dearest ones He went on to speak of the desire that had ruled him all his life to be on friendly terms yith everyone When others have trodden on mv toes he remarkshyed with a smile 1 haVe tried to act as if I did not notice it What a lesson to us all as to the spirit w-ith which he should enter Into neighborshyly relationship never cherishing susshypicions or resentments as well as seeking never to give offense to othshyers Whenever we recall that erect figshyure that ebvstic step that kind face that )iersonallty that always seemed so self-reliant and so competent we shall also recall with gratitude to God the fact that for all his long life he kept the pure the child-like and the loving heart Howard A Brldgman
