active interest in all town affairs and were a great addition and asset to the town.
Because of the infirmities of advancing years, Mr. Lee was forced to retire from active life. He passed away on May 9, 1948, a few days after celebrating his ninety-fifth birthday. Mr. Lee was a gentleman of the old school, and although not a native, he was as keenly interested in the welfare of the Town as if he had come down from the founding fathers.
