Boston (Mass.). Record Commissioners

Hide Profile

In Dec. 1889, Boston, Mass., City Council passed an order "that the Record Commissioners be requested to prepare and print as a public document, a list with brief notices, of the deceased members of the City Councils of Boston, Charlestown and Roxbury, giving exact dates as far as possible." In April of 1890, the Record Commissioners under the direction of William H. Whitmore, Chairman, attempted to try to obtain from the living members and family of deceased members such personal facts to preserve as part of the city archives. Forms were sent out (between 1891and 1894), requesting information on name, place and date of birth, family, education, business, official positions, and military service.
