Worcester and others, and after adopting a complimentary resolution of thanks to the City and citizens of Newton for their hospitality, the Association adjourned. Late Water Registrar, Cambridge, Mass., Died, July 30, 1884. J. Warren Cotton was born in Boston, Nov. 21, 1835, and removed to Cambridge in 1842; after completing his education in the public schools there he in 1852 entered the employ of a firm in Mobile, Ala., with whom he stayed until the breaking out of the War; he then came North and enlisted in the Thirty-eighth Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment, being afterward assigned to the command of a company in the Eighty-eighth U. S. Infantry, one of the colored regiments raised at Port Hudson. At the close of the War he became interested in life insurance and held for several years a responsible position with a leading insurance company of Boston. In 1868 he was elected Clerk of the Common Council of Cambridge and in 1871 Clerk of Committees. In 1876 he was elected Water Registrar and held the office till his death. During his long connection with municipal offices he was noted for his diligence and faithfulness in the discharge of duty. In social life he was a pleasant and agreeable gentleman who made many friends by his courteous manners. For nearly two years he had been in poor health, and during the past year had rapidly failed physically but he retained his mental powers to the last. Owing to his feeble health Mr. Cotton had met but little with us, but in his death our Association loses a member who had always a deep interest in its affairs and one who, had his life and health been spared, would by his character and ability have brought to the Association much of honor and dignity.
