Better known as "Brownie" by most of the
townspeople, Sgt. Brown first joined the
police department back in 196^, as a
part-time police officer. Four years
later he became a full-time officer, and
finally was promoted to his present rank.
having 22 years in this department, we
asked Sgt. Brown to talk about some of
the changes that have taken place. "Law
enforcement itself has changed over the
years," he said, "as well as the depart-
ment. We have grown from a 2 man depart-
ment to the present, which consists of 8
full-tine officers, 11 specials and two
dispatchers."
The safety of all our citizens is a main
concern of Sgt. Brown's, especially the
children who walk to and from school each
day. It is for this reason that he would
like to see a new sidewalk installed a-
long School Street, so the kids will no
longer have to walk in the road.

FHS-Kyle Leach
May 04, 1912 - October 23, 2012
Her deep appreciation of history and land converged on her own property, where she worked tirelessly for more than 30 years on the restoration and improvement of her historic home and land. Her conviction in the importance of farming and her belief in the need to preserve and protect undeveloped land led Dottie to establish the Joseph D. ‘26, Donna M. and Dorothy A. Bean Endowed Fund at the University of New Hampshire. She established this fund in honor of her father who graduated from UNH in 1926. This fund will provide need-based scholarship support for students enrolled in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture and will also provide general support for COLSA faculty members.
There will be a graveside service at Pine Grove Cemetery in Farmington, NH on Sunday, September 12 at 1:00 PM. If you wish to honor Dottie’s memory with a donation, please direct it to the charity of your choice or to the UNH Foundation with Bean Endowed Fund in the memo, University of NH, 9 Edgewood Road, Durham, NH 03824.
