Swans Spotted on Robinson Pond Ethics Committee Votes to Hear


Complaint Against
Selectman McGrath
Courtesy photo by Bruce Atwood

by Len Lathrop
The Ethics Committee convened on Monday, May1, to review a
complaint from a Hudson property owner. The committee found
sufficient evidence of an act by Marilyn McGrath that was in
violation of Hudson town code 53-4.10.
The complaint was brought by property owner Steve Trefethen,
who completed the Petitioner Information form which the
committee reviewed, and as their minutes indicate they watched
the tape of the April 11 Selectmens meeting where the situation
occurred.
The committee voted unanimously to hold a public hearing
on May 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the study conference room of the
Rodgers Memorial Library. The approved motion recommended
that Selectwoman Marilyn McGrath recuse herself from any and
all boards and committees that interact with the public until the
complaint can be discussed in a public forum.
This photo of swans was taken April 23 at Robinson Pond, Hudson. All parties will be informed by registered mail. Marilyn McGrath

Remember Hudson When ...


EssoHeat Truck Crash May 23, 1947
by Ruth Parker
On May 23, 1947, John J. Montgomery of Lowell, Mass., was operating this EssoHeat delivery truck in
Hudson en route to a delivery in Derry. At about 3 p.m. he lost control of the vehicle near the Gile home
on Derry Road and crashed headlong into a stone wall. Montgomery was shaken up but escaped serious
injury. The front end of the truck was badly damaged. Police Chief Polak reported the accident was due
to faulty steering mechanism.
Chief Polak detailed police officers to guard the truck and also called for a fire truck which remained at
the scene as a safety measure until 10 p.m. Assistant Fire Chief Harry D. Emerson was in charge.
I had no idea where the Giles home was on Derry Road. In 1947 Derry Road also included Old Derry
Road out to the Londonderry Line. After a trip to the Registry of Deeds and access to the town records I
learned that the Giles home had been located at what is now 145 Old Derry Rd. As you travel on Old
Derry Road, heading towards Londonderry, you pass the Hudson Speedway and the intersection with
Robinson Road. On your left is the Senter Cemetery. About one-tenth of a mile further you come to 145
Old Derry Rd. on your right.
Elizabeth Gile purchased this homestead in 1944. Prior to that the property was owned by Alphonse
Lee and his wife Delima. Prior to that it was owned by members of the Heath family and earlier the
Senter Family. In 1952 Roy Cross and his wife Lena (Avery) purchased the property from the estate of
Elizabeth Gile. Roy Cross passed in 1959 and Lena continued to make this her home until she passed in
1970. In 1972 the property was purchased by Paul F. Gauvreau from Lenas daughter Flora Kinsey. Paul
had a keen interest in this section of Hudson particularly the Poor Farm and the Poor Farm Cemetery
behind the farmhouse on Old Derry Road. Pauls research was instrumental in kindling public awareness
of the old Poor Farm Cemetery.
Details of the accident are from the May 24, 1947, edition of the Nashua Telegraph. The photo is from
the collection of the Hudson Historical Society. EssoHeat Truck Crash May 23, 1947
