Occupation |
Merchant ". . . and in 1840 he surrendered to Mr. John FOWLE, whose store was for many years a local landmark at the junction of Broadway and Massachusetts avenue. This building was removed to make a place for the soldier's monument, and is now located on Monument Place. In 1846 Mr. Fowle disposed of his business to two of his clerks, Messrs. Edwin R. Prescott and Abel R. Proctor, and the former served as postmaster until 1852. In that year the firm of Prescott & Proctor removed to the just completed Town Hall building, occupying the entire first story and making a display of goods that attracted customrers from all the adjoining towns. In 1862 Mr. Prescott resigned the post office branch of the business to Mr. Proctor, who in turn was succeeded by the head clerk of the firm, Mr. Frederick E. Fowle, in 1868. Mr. Fowle held the office until 1895, when the present postmaster, Alfred D. Hoitt, was commissioned. In 1874, while Mr. Fowle was postmaster, Arlington was admitted to the list of "money order" offices." |
