school attendance officer of Lockport,
died at his late residence No. 102 Good-

old Holly shops and was employed there
for over thirty years previous to assum-
ing the postition of attendance officer.

but despite the fear which many enter-
tained for him the veteran truant officer
kindly administered his duties and many
youngsters no doubt, later thanked him
for his faithfulness and persevering ac-
tivity in endeavoring to keep them regu-
larly in attendance at school sessions.
