Notes

General Note:
Fred Leroy Purinton (1888-1954). Elected mayor in April 1947. However, after accusations of improper voting, Purinton refused to take office until another election was held, which he also won. The election of January 1948 resulted in a lawsuit to settle who was mayor. The town charter had been changed in October 1947, and there was some contention. The suit in April 1948 declared B.V. Tattersall the new mayor, who then died in office in November. Purinton was elected in December 1948. He died in office in 1954.
