JAMES B. FARRELL
1886 - 1968
It has been related
That he hated wakes -
For a part of Jim died
With the passing of every friend.
We hated Jim’s wake -
The wit, the sallies, the voice
Raised in song, no more;
A part of all of us died that evening.
He was of Maynard’s History - the human part,
And helped to chronicle it,
His father one of seventy-one
To sign the Charter in '71.
A part of all of us died that evening.
