Historical/Biographical Note

Historical/Biographical Note

The death of Levi L. Willcutt is also mentioned, although it did not occur until January 3 of the present year. Mr. Willcutt moved to Brookline in 1887, having previously resided in West Roxbury. He was formerly greatly interested in the affairs of the city of Boston, having served in the common council and he was also for two years in the Massachusetts legislature. He had for many years been a member and one of the directors of the Bostonian Society, and greatly interested in its success. He was in his eighty-sixth year. He was a most kindly man, and interested in the welfare of our town.

From "Proceedings of the Brookline Historical Society at the Annual Meeting, January 17, 1912, Brookline, Mass." Published by the Society, 1912.
