in Little Rock, Ark., North Beverly, 
and he was employed for a short time 
at Providence. In 1898 he succeeded 
H. E. Morgan as station agent here. 
He was a man whom everybody 
liked. Even in temperament, jovial 
in spirit, kindly in disposition, and 
charitable, he was one who could make 
friends anywhere. He was a man 
who would go out of his way to do a 
favor for one. No matter how busy 
he was he was always the same. 
Two years ago he was elected to 
the Common Council in Beverly, rep- 
resenting Ward 6. 
He leaves a widow and two children 
to mourn his loss, also a mother, four 
brothers and two sisters. He was to 
have moved with his family to North 
Beverly the past week, having bought 
a house there last fall, and having had 
it fitted up the past winter and made 
ready for use. 
Funeral services were held Tuesday 
afternoon at the Baptist church, Bev- 
erly Farms. The popularity of Mr. 
Rand was well attested by the tribute 
paid his memory on this occasion. St. 
George Commandery, Amity Chapter 
and Liberty lodge, of which he was a 
member, the city council of 1906, were 
represented at the services and the 
Municipal club attended in a body. A 
profusion of floral tributes were sent 
by various organizations, numerous 
friends, including members of the
