HON. CHAS. H. TROWT. 
Former Mayor and One of Beverly 
Farms’ Best Known Citizens. 
Hon. Charles H. Trowt, twice 
mayor of Beverly, and one of the 
best known residents of that city, 
passed away early Sunday morning 
at his home on Hale st., at Pride’s 
Crossing, after a few days’ illness, 
with pneumonia, with heart compli- 
eations, at the age of 57 years. 
Few men were better known or 
had more friends in Beverly than 
‘“Charlie’’ Trowt, as he was known to 
his friends in all sections of the city. 
Born in Beverly, he was educated in 
Beverly schools and always main- 
tained an active interest in school at- 
fairs. When a lad his parents re- 
moved to the Farms, and he had re- 
sided there practically all his life. 
As a young man he entered the em-

he formed a partnership with John

Wyatt and Trowt, and conducted a 
successful livery stable business at 
Pride’s Crossing up to the time of 
his death. 
Early in life he took a keen inter- 
est in town affairs and served on the 
school committee under the town 
form of government. When Beverly 
became a city he was elected a mem- 
ber of the first Common Council from 
Ward 6 and served with eredit to 
himself, the ward and the city. He 
was elected to the Board of Alder- 
men from Ward 6 in 1896 and later 
served again on the school commit- 
tee from that ward. While in the 
city council he served on some of 
the most important committees 
and was a keen student of 
municipal affairs. He was_ first 
elected mayor in 1908 and was 
re-elected in 1909. His administra- 
tions were of the progressive type 
and many improvements were made 
during his two terms as mayor. He 
never lost his interest in city affairs, 
and his aid and advice was sought by 
many candidates for office. He was 
a man of winning personality, big 
hearted, kind to his friends and 
neighbors and a man devoted to his 
family. He had a pleasant smile, a 
cheery greeting and was a familiar 
figure on the North Shore roads, 
often driving behind a spanking pair 
of horses. He was famous as a judge 
of horseflesh and was often commis- 
sioned to go West and to Canada to 
select horses for summer residents. 
When a young man, Mr. Trowt 
served in the fire department and 
never lost his interest in fire depart- 
ment affairs. He was a Mason, a 
Knight Templar, a Shriner, a mem- 
ber of Magnolia lodge of Odd Fei- 
lows, of Manchester, and was one of 
the oldest members of the Jubilee 
Yacht Club and of John West Col- 
ony, Pilgrim Fathers, of Beverly 
Farms. 
For some time Mr. Trowt had not 
enjoyed the best of health, but was a 
cheerful sufferer and always looked
