High School Elevens Play to Scoreless Tie 1800 Football Fans See Fastest Contest Since Advent of Supervised Athletics English Shows Well in First Half Classical Has Edge in Second Daily Evening Item, October 6, 1915 * * * Classical showed considerable knowledge in following the ball and in carrying, while English showed an aggressiveness which will undoubtedly prove valuable with a little more seasoning. Both teams were earnest in their endeavors, as shown by the breaking of Joe Sisk’s wrist, and the severe spraining of Captain Henry Wall’s ankle. Capt. Wall also suffered the loss of two teeth. * * * Captain Wall came up to expectations and played a brilliant game for English. * * * Captain Wall of the English team wrenched his ankle in the fourth period. He had to be taken out, but was able to walk home. Shattuck replaced Wall at right halfback. Wall Cousins, Both Lynn Motorcycle Policemen, Injured on Duty Two Motorcycle Policemen Hurt While on Duty John P. and John Henry Wall, Cousins, Require Hospital Treatment After Odd Accidents Daily Evening Item, July 18, 1927 Two motorcycle policemen, John P. and John Henry Wall, cousins are on the injured list as the result of accidents Saturday and Sunday nights. John P. Wall received cuts and bruises on both thighs and a shaking up at midnight Sunday night when he ran into a sedan, operated by John Champia, 53 Thorndike street, Revere, which Champia stopped on Summer street, opposite Laconia court, to allow Mr. And Mrs. Frank Narducci, 31 Laconia court to alight. The policeman stated that he was driving along Summer street towards West Lynn at a rate of from 20 to 25 miles an hour, when someone called to him from the sidewalk. He looked around and when he turned his head back, he saw the sedan right in front of him and he was unable to avoid the crash. Policeman Wall was removed to Lynn hospital in the ambulance and after treatment there was removed to the police station and later to his home, 375 Boston street. Motorcycle Policeman John Henry Wall was operating his motorcycle on Lewis street, going towards Swampscott at 11 o’clock, Saturday night, when the trolley of an electric car, just ahead came off and broke the guy wire, which struck Wall, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle. He was thrown heavily to the ground and received injuries about the head to both knees and his hands. He was removed in the ambulance to Lynn hospital and later taken to his home. The front of the motorcycle was considerably damaged. The operator of the trolley car, Edward McDonald said, that he found Policeman Wall lying unconscious in the street, when he got out of the car to put the trolley back. Police Sergt. Wall Dies Early This Afternoon Operated on for Appendicitis, Active in Athletics, Commended for Duty Daily Evening Item, February 23, 1934 Police Sergt. John P. Wall, one of the best known and popular members of the Lynn department, died this afternoon shortly before 2 o’clock at a local institution where he was operated upon last Friday. He was operated upon for a ruptured appendix and on Wednesday, it was reported that his condition was improved. He had a sudden change Thursday and an emergency operation, necessitated by peritonitis, was performed by two surgeons.

Father of Undertaker Had Been Ill 5 Months Telegram News, October 27, 1936 John Wall, 74, retired Lynn Gas and Electric worker and father of Garrett J. Wall, Lynn undertaker, died at 1:45 yesterday afternoon at his home, 118 Shepard Street, after five months illness. He was husband of the late Nora Wall and father of the late Sergt. John P. Wall of Lynn Police department. Mr. Wall, a native of Tipperary, Ireland, came to this country 55 years ago, settling in Lynn, where he has made his home. Thirteen years ago he retired after 40 years in the employ of Lynn Gas and Electric Co., as head fireman. He was a member of Lafayette court, M. C. O. F., Division 7, A. O. H.; Court Allan-a-dale circle, Foresters of America; Emmett Associates of Lynn; Quarter Century club of Lynn Gas and Electric Co., and Holy Name society of St. Mary’s church. Years ago, Mr. Wall was a well-known football player, starring with the championship Emmett team of Chelsea. He also played with the Emmett Associates of Lynn. Mr. Wall is survived by four sons, Garrett J. Wall, James B. Wall of Lynn fire department, Henry M. Wall, all of Lynn; and Sergt. Frank Wall of Swampscott police department; two daughters, Margaret and Nora Wall, both of Lynn; 17 grandchildren; a great grandchild; three brothers, Patrick and Garrett of Lynn; and Michael of Ireland; and four sisters, Mrs. Thomas Devine, Mrs. Patrick Nolan, and Mrs. David Barry, all of Lynn, and Mrs. Edward Feeney of New Jersey. Funeral will be held from his home Thursday morning with solemn high mass at St. Mary’s church at 10 o’clock. Burial will be at St. Mary’s cemetery. Unknown newspaper, circa 1940 Heeding the advice of Fire Chief Joseph E. Scanlon to fear no reprisals because of efforts to obtain a short work week, the Box 41 club at its meeting this past week named a committee consisting of President James V. [sic] Wall, Bernard Kelley, and District Chief Ralph H. Field to confer with the city council two weeks from tomorrow night. The 41 club apparently knows its stuff for Wall, Kelley, and Field rate with the most affable and personable members of the fire department. If they can’t get the most that can be got out of the city council, the reporter misses his guess. On the subject of the 72-hour week, it would appear that the plan has reached an impasse. It is virtually agreed by now that the elimination of the long day can’t be effected without an act of the Legislature and to wait a year for the benefit they expected would be almost like losing it entirely to the firemen. Hope is still held out by Mayor Cole on the matter, however, and Fire Chief Scanlon appears extremely cooperative. It would not be surprising to see a plan. Patrick J. Wall Taken by Death Retired G. E. Employee Was 83 Lynn Telegram News, February 25, 1943 Patrick J. Wall, 83, husband of the late Mary (Geary) Wall of 120 Wyman Street, and an uncle of Garrett J. Wall, local funeral director, died yesterday at his home. A retired employee of the General Electric Company, Bldg. 74 Riverworks, he was a member of the Thomson Quarter Century Club, having a record of 30 years service. He retired 15 years ago. In addition to his membership in the G.E. Group, he was connected prominently with Court Allan-a-Dale, Foresters of America and the Sacred Heart Church Holy Name Society. He leaves a son, Joseph and a daughter Catherine, both of Lynn, two brothers, Garrett of Lynn and Michael of Ireland: three sisters, Mrs. Thomas Devine and Mrs. Patrick Nolan of Lynn, and Mrs. Edward Feeney of New Jersey, and two grandsons, Lieut. Joseph G. Wall of the U. S. Army Air Forces and Thomas Wall, now stationed at the Newport, R. I. Naval Training Base. The funeral will be held Saturday morning at 8:15 o’clock from his late home followed by a solemn requiem high mass at Sacred Heart Church. From “Decision Over Schweinfurt” October 14, 1943 Capt. Edwin Millson of the 379th Group, a veteran of twelve missions, had been awakened about 3:30 A.M. by the charge-of-quarters and told he was expected at the operations building. As he walked along the dark streets of the Kimbolton base, he felt an “odd excitement” in wondering what the target would be. As one of the group’s lead bombardiers, he had been making a special study of Schweinfurt for several weeks, but he didn’t know he was going there until he walked into Operations. Capt. Joseph G. Wall, a lead navigator, looked up from a map on which he was plotting a flight plan. “You sure picked a nice one for your thirteenth,” he said to Millson. They were both scheduled to fly with that day’s group leader, Lt. Col. Louis W. Rohr. The so-called “Bloody One Hundredth” Group had been living up to its name so appallingly during the previous week that it seemed in danger of extinction. At Bremen October 8 it had lost eight of its fifteen Fortresses; at Munster two days later it had lost twelve of thirteen. These disasters had so badly depleted the group that its commander, Col. Neil Harding, had gone to 8th Air Force headquarters to ask that all his surviving men be allowed to rest for a few days. * * * * * When the 379th Group brought the 41st CBW to the target, smoke was rising but lead-plane bombardier Millson had no difficulty seeing the factories. His approach was precisely as he wanted it. At the very moment he released his bombs, a burst of flak hit the side of the plane, its shrapnel sounding like hailstones on a tin roof. “Bombs away!” Millson shouted. “Let’s get the hell out of here!” As they turned from the target, fifteen FW-190s dropped out of the sun “in an unannounced attack.” Millson heard the sharp crack of a bursting 20-mm. shell behind him. He whirled around, half expecting to find that the navigator, Capt. Joe Wall, had been hit, but Wall, with a grin on his face, was pointing to a pile of tattered shreds on the floor. It was Millson’s parachute, which had taken the full impact of the bursting shell. No more than a ruined remnant now, it couldn’t possibly save his life if he had to bail out. On the other hand, it had already saved his life, and Wall’s also, by absorbing the shell explosion. Another Fortress in the 379th was less fortunate than Millson’s when the FW-190s attacked. An overly daring German pilot misjudged his frontal approach and collided with the bomber. The 550-mile-an-hour combined speed of the two planes coming together was so great that they both immediately disintegrated. * * * * * When the returning 379th reached Kimbolton at 6:30 P.M., Col. Maurice Preston, the group commander, was waiting. Having flown the August 17 mission, he knew what to expect. One look at Colonel Rohr, who had led the group today, told Preston that the man had been through something. Besides the six planes lost, there were several others that would never fly again. Although Rohr was very much in control, Preston could see he was unusually nervous. “In my opinion,” Rohr said simply, “this was an extremely rough mission.” His bombardier, Lieutenant Millson, fell to his knees in thanksgiving as soon as he got out of the plane. But as his fear receded, a certain excitement returned. After he had been debriefed by intelligence officers, Millson hurried to the photo lab. He wanted to see the strike photos, which had been sent for immediate development. Capt. Ted Rohr, the group photo-interpreter, was examining the wet prints when he arrived. “You hit it,” Captain Rohr said. “Brother, you plastered hell out of that place.” * * * * * The 8th Air Force’s second mission to Schweinfurt was now completed. Of the 291 planes dispatched on the morning of October 14, 227 had survived mechanical difficulties and German guns to attack the target. Sixty Flying Fortresses and the 600 men they carried would not be coming home tonight. Among the 231 that did reach England, 142 were damaged. Once again the Germans had failed to turn back the American daylight bombers. The B-17s had accomplished their mission against Hitler’s most zealously defended target. They had dropped over 500 tons of bombs on the ball-bearing plants. But the cost had been the highest the American Air Force had been forced to pay in its entire history. Many people were certain to ask whether the damage at Schweinfurt had been sufficient to justify this cost. * * * * * General Arnold, perhaps disappointed by Roosevelt’s reaction, hastened into print with a statement of his own about Schweinfurt. No one could accuse him that day of withholding support for Eaker. After explaining the importance of ball-bearing factories and the difficulty of reaching them so deep inside Germany, his statement tried to convey the enormous scope and success of the operation: “This attack on Schweinfurt was not merely a spectacular air raid. It was an engagement between large armies-a major campaign. In a period of a few hours we invaded German-held Europe to a depth of 500 miles, sacked and crippled one of her most vital enterprises. We did it in daylight and we did it with precision, aiming our explosives with the care and accuracy of a marksman firing a rifle at a bull’s-eye. We moved in on a city of 50,000 people and destroyed the part of it that contributes to the enemy’s ability to wage war against us. When that part of it was a heap of twisted girders, smoking ruin and pulverized machinery, we handed it back, completely useless, to the Germans. Ball bearings cannot now pour from this ruin, and no moving machinery will operate without ball bearings. * * * * * He [Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering] had received many letters from German people describing the activities of the [German] fighters during the attack on Schweinfurt, and these people did not find them aggressive enough. “In a word, the population is very embittered about the action of the day fighters, and they are right. The good name of our air force has been damaged very much by the fighters, not only with the people but also with the Fuhrer. And most of all with the enemy. He scorns you, and he shows it by attacking in daytime, in clear weather.” It was particularly galling to Goering that these enemy bombers flew, not over the Baltic Sea or over neutral countries “but right over the middle of Germany, under everyone’s nose.” And this they did because they had no respect for the German fighters. “On that day,” he declared, “it was almost impossible for me to endure the scorn of the enemy [and the fact] that he flew so impertinently all the way across Germany … without having been destroyed.
From “Mighty Eighth War Diary” October 14, 1943 Schweinfurt became the most infamous of 8th Air Force target names through the exceptionally high losses incurred in the execution of the first two missions. The second was the culmination of a series of high-loss operations by unescorted bombers and brought temporary curtailment of very deep penetrations until more long-range fighters were available. The following account of his experiences on 14 October was written shortly afterwards by Captain Edwin Millson, lead bombardier of the 379th Bomb Group. “At 0330 the Charge of Quarters awakened me with the order to report to operations. I walked along the moonlit road to the operations block wondering what the target for the day would be and feeling an odd excitement. Checking the operations board I that our crew was scheduled to lead a combat wing of Fortresses on the day’s mission with Lt Col Louis Rohr as our pilot. In the map room I found Navigator, Capt Joe Wall, drawing up his flight plan. ‘You sure picked a nice one for your thirteenth!’ he said with a laugh and pointed to his map where a long zig-zagging line snaked its way into the heart of Germany and stopped at a medium sized town … Schweinfurt. Again came the surge of excitement and as I settled down to another two hours of study and preparation of bombing data I knew that it would be rough - for this target was the one we had been studying so diligently for several weeks. After a hasty breakfast and an exhaustive check of our ship - Ragin Red - and her equipment, we took off at 1030 hrs into a sky already dotted with other formations. We circled the field and gained altitude while the rest of our group slipped into position and then moved off on course. At 1238 hrs the tail gunner reported high and low groups in position, just as the English coast slipped by below us. Overhead waves of P-47s appeared - beneath was the icy Channel - and ahead lay the long route yet to be covered. Light inaccurate flak to our right as we passed over the enemy coast indicated that Joe Wall had the wing directly on course. The crew, alert and watchful, called out the presence of friendly fighters and we were mighty happy to have our little friends around. Their range at this stage of the war was limited and shortly after we entered enemy territory they had to depart for home. Their departure spelled trouble, because soon afterwards we observed enemy ‘Bandits’ climbing up to make things interesting. Little black dots grew into formations of FW 190s and Me 109s which began sweeping attacks into our formations. Attacking from eleven o’clock to one o’clock they would come in fast as they fired and ‘split S-ing’ down out of range. The interphone crackled with terse statements - ‘fighters at one o’clock - ‘I smoked that one’ - ‘Fort down, six chutes.’ Koblenz and Frankfurt were passed as we wove our way through rather spotty enemy opposition. Joe was successfully evading flak areas and then we reached the IP and started the bomb run. I took control and turned my attention to finding our aiming point. One glance took in checkpoints we had spent so many hours studying, and up ahead lay our target - Schweinfurt. After opening the bomb-bay doors and checking the switches for the umpteenth time, I bent over the Norden bombsight to find our aiming point on one of the three important ball-bearing factories. Flak was uncomfortably close - one burst blotting my view of the target for a brief second and a rattle like hail on a tin roof announcing another close call. I had the target lined up in the sight and I noticed smoke from hits on one of the other factories by the preceding wing was beginning to roll over our aiming point. Just as another burst of flak hailed against the side of the ship I called, ‘Bombs away, doors closing - let’s get the hell out of here!’ Colonel Rohr took the ship again and began the turn off of the target. As he turned, a formation of FW 190s ripped in out of the sun in an unannounced, vicious fighter attack. Before anyone could open their mouth I heard the sharp crack of a bursting 20 mm shell right in back of me. Half expecting to find Joe badly injured, I whirled around to find him laughing and pointing to an object on the floor. There was my chest chute, which I had placed right next to my right hip, ripped and torn from the direct burst of the shell. I was left without a chute but it had saved both of us from possible serious injury. Looking around and checking the group, we found that the bandits had knocked down three ships on that one pass - later we found that one had been rammed by one of the attacking fighters!! From then on Jerry started concentrated fighter attacks. I think that they had every possible available plan within range of our route in the air that day. In fact the Hun had vectored squadrons from long distances which arrived in time to give us hell somewhere along the route home. They began pressing home with rocket attacks and up ahead in the other wing I saw three Forts explode in mid-air from rocket hits. Jerry was attacking from all around the clock and we saw several obsolete types of German aircraft, one of which was a two-engine Dornier 217. They seemed determined to wipe us out. Forts in other groups glided out of formation with feathered props or other tell-tale damage and once clear of the formation, chutes would spill out. Our formations were so split and weakened that both wings combined to make one for mutual support. Frequently the dark chutes of German fighter pilots could be seen intermingled with the white ones of our bomber crew men. All along the route home we could see the smoking, flaming wreckage of ships that had gone down during the aerial battle. For awhile one could actually follow the path of the battle by looking at the wreckage on the ground. After what seemed an eternity of bucking strong head winds which the Germans were utilizing for head-on attacks, our friendly fighter escort showed up and swept in on our attackers, dispersing them and shooting several down. As they circled around us one of the gunners was heard to utter a fervent ‘Thank God,’ voicing the sentiments of the entire formation. After another interval Joe announced that we had reached the cloud covered ‘tight little isle’ - England. At 1840 our wheels hit the runway, we had been in the air for eight hours and ten minutes, we had the worst fighter attacks anyone had ever seen and the flak had been rough as hell. I knew that our losses had been heavy but I felt that results were worth the cost in men and planes. After interrogation my first thought was about the strike photos. I hurried over to the photo lab, where the technicians were rushing the processing of the film. 1/Lt Ted Rohr, the group photo interpreter, was examining the wet prints. He answered my unasked question, ‘You hit, brother, you plastered hell out of the place!’ Later as he plotted the bomb hits we knew that our group and the groups that had preceded us had had excellent success. This somewhat alleviated the shock of our heavy losses - for sixty Forts had gone down on this one mission.”
Schweinfurt raid as seen from Captain Joe Wall's aircraft (Ragin Red) Served as Altar Boy to Hero Priest on U.S.S. Ben Franklin Lynn Telegram; May 20, 1945 Leo F. Gleason, Jr., 22, AMM 2c of Orchard circle, Swampscott, one of four Greater Lynn survivors of the USS Franklin disaster, served as an altar boy to Lieut. Com. Joseph T. O’Callahan, heroic chaplain of the ill-fated carrier [Congressional Medal of Honor winner]. Gleason, former Swampscott high school football player, was a member of the catapult crew which came through unharmed when two 500 pound bombs from a Jap dive bomber hit the craft, igniting stores of gasoline and explosives. Seaman Gleason, in Lynn over the past weekend, had only praise for the gallant fellow members of his crew who managed to bring the prize carrier back to this country for repairs. From Dictionary of American Fighting Ships Before dawn on 19 March 1945, Franklin, who had maneuvered closer to the Japanese mainland than had any other U.S. carrier during the war, launched a fighter sweep against Honshu and later a strike against shipping in Kobe Harbor. Suddenly, a single enemy plane pierced the cloud cover and made a low level run on the gallant ship to drop two semi-armor piercing bombs. One struck the flight deck centerline, penetrating to the hangar deck, effecting destruction and igniting fires through the second and third decks, and knocking out the combat information center and airplot. The second hit aft, tearing through two decks and fanning fires which triggered ammunition, bombs and rockets.
Wall Named Swampscott Police Chief Daily Evening Item, November 4, 1944 Sergeant Francis P. Wall, who topped the civil service examination for the position, was named chief of the Swampscott police department by a special meeting of the board of selectmen last night. He was administered the oath of office shortly thereafter and today assumed his new duties, relinquished by Captain James Kennedy, who had been acting chief since the retirement of Walter L. Reeves. After making the appointment, the board of selectmen voted a commendation to Captain Kennedy for the manner in which he had conducted the department in the interim. No action was taken last night to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Sergeant Wall, the board deciding to defer this matter until it could confer with the town counsel on the question as to whether this appointment should be made from the chief’s list or from a new list to be sought from the Civil Service Commission. The new Swampscott chief is 44 years old and has been a member of the police department for 19 years. He has two sons in the service, Ensign Joseph Wall, a Navy aviator, and Frank Wall, seaman 1c. And also a daughter, Eleanor Wall, and a third son, John Wall. The new chief has been a sergeant in the department for the past nine years. “Off the Police Blotter” by Edward A. Collins Lynn Telegram News; November 5, 1944 How to begin this week’s column is the biggest problem that has ever confronted us. With so much to tell, and such limited space in which to tell it, makes it that much more difficult. We refer to the BIGGEST police news on the North Shore - the appointment of Francis P. Wall, as Police Chief in the Town of Swampscott. We could start right out by saying - “We told you so.” - But [we] wouldn’t detract from the credit which should go to Jimmy Buchanan, Phil Bessom and Al Hills - Swampscott’s three selectmen. For after all, from their wisdom and by their GOOD JUDGMENT - we have the GREATEST POLICE CHIEF that Swampscott could obtain. And so too - it is with the rest of the news we have to impart these facts. Swampscott not only has its GREATEST police chief, but it will revert back to the old system of sporting two captains instead of one sergeant and one captain; Patrolman Warren Doherty or Patrolman Jimmy Pedrick (who are second and third, respectively in line) may fill the shoes of this newly made captaincy; and last, but certainly not least on the list of our news bulletins is the fact that petty grievances, jealousies and private grudges, have gone into the junk heap - as of Nov. 4 at 12:01 a.m. when CHIEF FRANCIS P. WALL took over the reins of the Swampscott Police Department. Without interference and with no intent to cast reflections on previous chiefs in the town, we claim there have been petty jealousies, select duties for some to perform, while OTHERS groveled on a drib-drab early morning on night beat. ALL THIS HAS GONE, and we have the word of the selectmen, who say the have the pledged cooperation of Frank’s two runner-ups, that they will cooperate 100 per cent with their new chief, Chief Frank Wall. Added to these pledges, we have the word of Frank himself, who only a few hours ago, told us he holds malice toward no one. “I haven’t any angles to promote, I haven’t anybody with whom I wish to ‘get even.’ I’m tickled pink with the new job and I want every member of the police department to share my good fortune. I want harmony with discipline. They’ll be no pet jobs. We’re going to police the town on an easy-going basis with a break for everyone,” the new chief said. Chief Wall Begins And with this we learned (on the q. t. of course) that he will begin by giving Captain James Kennedy a couple of days off. After all, the selectmen voted Acting Chief Jim Kennedy a commendation for the fine cooperation he gave town fathers while the worries of a police chief went begging for the want of a successor to Chief Walter F. Reeves. If THIS is the way the selectmen feel, certainly OUR new chief isn’t going to begin with any other idea. So, for the time being, Jim Kennedy can look forward to a couple of days off, after which he must accept the fortunes and the spoils of defeat. He will return to his old command - the night division. And what could one expect? Capt. Kennedy always did a good job at this post - and nobody got hurt. He’s been commended for his work as acting chief. Of this, Chief Wall takes note. But SOMEONE has to command the night division and so to the lot of Capt. Kennedy will fall AGAIN this task. In the interim, Alvin “Allie” Owens has been taking over when Sergt. Wall (doesn’t it sound funny, now) was on a night off. The new chief will respect this custom and “Allie” will be in charge until Capt. Kennedy takes over. New Captain In this same interim, Patrolman George Norton will continue to command the early morning shift And this brings us to a repetition of a story we printed many months ago - namely - that the Swampscott force will again have two captains. Capt. Kennedy certainly will not be demoted. Any man who has held the respect of his men and CARRIED ON as the captain has, deserves an opportunity to continue to fulfill his post in life. Thank somebody! - we haven’t got SOMEBODY promoting any such a scheme. On the contrary, we find the present board of selectmen planning to create another captaincy, although they haven’t yet come out openly and said so. If a man is capable of running the police department in the absence of the chief then he deserves the rank of captain. So sooner or later (and jot this down on your check-up stories) you’ll see the Swampscott police department with a captain in charge on days and a captain in charge on the night and morning shifts, respectively. CHIEF WALL (ain’t it great to say it - with gusto) is in accord with this idea, but like many other matters above his scope, he isn’t saying too much. He admitted (to us) confidentially - and we’re breaking that confidence - that a sergeant gets kicked around. He might just as well hang those three sergeant’s stripes on the side of last year’s Jack O’Lantern. That’s all the good they are. Having suffered a purgatory with the rank of sergeant for nine long years, when he SHOULD have been a CAPTAIN he naturally has his own slant, but he leaves the subject to his superiors and that’s where we got the rest of our information. AND NOW WHO? Like the speculative yarn we wrote some months ago when Chief of Police Walter F. Reeves quit the Swampscott police department for a life of retirement and matrimony, we repeat ourselves. For at that early date, we predicted the selectmen might take the runner-up in the chief’s exam, and make him captain (instead of a sergeant) and instead of asking for a new examination. We wrote without foundation, and only on information supplied by our friends in the town. Add this to the fact that Phil Bessom always plays square and that you couldn’t find a better guy then Jimmy Buchanan and that “Al” Hills long ago, proved he was the “fairest guy that ever held the title of selectman in Swampscott - an that’s why we dared predict - Wall would be chief and Doherty would be a captain. Of course, since those days, Doherty has learned a lot. His nine years Sarge Wall spent as sergeant. Add to this, the 10 other years that Frankie Wall serves as a flatfoot and you have the answer to why Frank is the department’s new chief, and why in our book, Warren Doherty will be the next captain. Everything Okay We’re not for a moment overlooking the fact that there are many men in that department who could ably take command if it was necessary. Joe Shanahan and Joe Ryan have long been on our preferred list. A newcomer, Jimmy Pedrick, has proven himself quite capable (the Corcoran case) for example. Hal Keating, another Number One guy is capable and someday we may find him hunting for bigger pay. This is only a once over lightly, as far as the department goes. It’s a great little bunch of cops and under their new chief, we predict great success. Yes Siree! The hatchets have been buried. The town’s police department has a new head. Jealously goes out the window. From now on it should be one happy family. THE FAMILY Speaking of the family, reminds us that most folks didn’t know that Chief Wall has a very lovely family. You can start with the Missus. She’s the former Marguerite E. Byrne. Outside of visiting relatives and cooking her husband’s supper (The New Chief), she is just a very ordinary, but a very LOVELY mate for ANY chief to have. She doesn’t belong to many clubs, doesn’t make speeches and prides herself on being just a very good wife and mother. Lots of folks talk about their sons in the service, but it was a surprise to EVEN US, when we learned Chief and Mrs. Wall have TWO sons doing their bit. Ensign Joe. E. Wall is a naval flier, stationed in Charleston, R. I., and was fortunately home when “Dad” got the new job. Another son, Francis J. Wall, couldn’t be around, because Uncle Sam has him harassing Japs in the South Pacific. A third son, John, is about 14 years of age and right now is going to St. John’s Prep. It’s too bad that he once took a trouncing from a newsman’s son, because right now they say, he is on the road to becoming a grid star without any help from the ole man - Chief Wall. And then there’s Eleanor, who works in the office at the General Electric Company. She’s 21 and quite “chic.” THE BIOGRAPHY As for the Chief Hisself, he was born in Lynn, but has been a SWAMPSCOTTITE for 20 odd years. He was graduated for St. Mary’s and Lynn English, but that’s not as important as the fact that he set out in his younger days to be a GOOD COP - and so now he is. For instance he went to the Massachusetts State Police school which entailed not only a study of the law, but living with the State Troopers for a long period of training. This training alone, qualifies him to be a police instructor. After that he went to a half dozen special police schools, like Attorney General Robert T. Bushnell’s institution and others, which required one or two afternoons or evenings per week at study. And we’re not overlooking that school of “Hard Knocks” which qualifies many to us to judge our fellow man fairly and without prejudice. Incidentally, Frank is 43 years of age. FINAL PRAISE The selectmen figure they have selected the logical man for this job as chief. They don’t want an exhibitionist. They don’t want the town put on the map with publicity. They don’t want the town usurped by a police dictator. They’ll find none of this worries in Frank Wall. When the sun sets today, it will end this story. No one will ever exactly know when Chief Wall gets his uniform. In fact, he wouldn’t bother to order one, except that the office demands it. He’ll parade in it, sure - when the townsfolk want him to - NEVER - ant any other time. If there are troubles - and there always are LITTLE ones - you’ll never hear about them from Chief Frank Wall. The selectmen are in charge of the town and its departments - Chief Wall will give the selectmen the cooperation they want. To him they are the townsfolk’s representatives. To them, he will answer - that’s a pledge he and Warren Doherty and Jimmy Pedrick and every other member of the Swampscott police department have made. Pledges Aid To Citizens Succeeds Costin In City Hall Rite Daily Evening Item, July 3, 1961 City Council President M. Henry Wall was sworn in as Lynn’s 45th mayor this morning at a special meeting of the Lynn City Council in City Hall. Before Wall took the oath of office from City Clerk Albert L. Flynn, the council was officially informed of the resignation of Mayor Thomas P. Costin, Jr., whom Wall succeeds as prescribed by city charter. Costin, who sat nearby as Wall became his successor, has been appointed acting postmaster of Lynn Postal District. He began his first full day today at his office in the Lynn Post Office on Willow Street. The new mayor told a gathering of 75 persons in the council chamber that he was conscious of “my great responsibility. I promise to do all within my power to carry out these duties in an honest, businesslike manner keeping in mind the citizens of Lynn.” Family on Hand Wall informed the audience, which included family members, business, labor and civic leaders, that only once before in the 111-year history of Lynn as a city has a mayor resigned and been succeeded by the president of the Lynn City Council. In 1943, then Mayor Albert Cole resigned to enter the armed forces and was succeeded in the last six months of his term by Councilor-at-large Arthur J. Frawley. Frawley was elected mayor the following term. Wall will receive a salary of $4500 for the remaining six months of the present term, half the mayor’s annual salary. He said he will not receive any salary as City Council president. Given Union Leave He is on leave of absence from his position as treasurer of Local 201 of the International Union of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, and will not receive any salary from the union. Wall said he plans to confer with the municipal auditor, treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Assessors and tax collector about the financial status of the city. Besides Wall, four other councilors were able to attend the special council session called in accordance with provisions of the city charter. They were Councilor-at-large James E. Twohig, Ward Six Councilor T. Harold Gayron, Ward Three Councilor Raymond P. McManus and Ward Two Councilor Frank O. Miner. After a minute of silent payer, Wall asked Councilor Donnelly to preside as president of the City Council while the official ceremony was held. Then the city clerk read Mayor Costin’s letter of resignation and expression of appreciation to the city council for its support since he became mayor in 1955. Councilor Miner then moved that the resignation be accepted with regrets and Wall took the oath of office from the city clerk while the audience and councilors stood. Son Aids Ceremony Benediction was pronounced by the new mayor’s son, the Rev. Ralph B. Wall, a curate at St. Cecilia’s Church, Back Bay. Other members of the Wall family present were the new mayor’s wife, the former Theresa Rich, a niece of former Mayor James E. Rich; a daughter, Miss Virginia Wall, a clerk in the City Councilor’s office in City Hall; and two sons, Henry Wall, a teacher at Acton High School and Dr. James R. Wall, a Lynn surgeon. After the ceremony, the audience were invited to greet Wall in the Mayor’s office. Acting Police Chief Thomas P. Costin, Sr., the father of Wall’s predecessor, was the first to shake the new mayor’s hand. Wall, a native of Lynn, and a member of a widely-known family was first elected Ward Five Councilor in 1939 and served until 1953. In 1957 he was elected councilor-at-large and was re-elected two years ago. Daily Evening Item, November 8, 1961 “What was the score?” asked a passerby outside the crowded headquarters of Mayor-elect M. Henry Wall on Market Street last night. “Wall won by a 660-vote margin,” answered a Wall supporter. But for Lynn’s quiet 62-year-old chief executive there was no exultation as a “victor.” There was only hard work ahead to “make Lynn one of the finest cities in the country.” After greeting 250 supporters at his campaign headquarters after the unofficial count was completed at 9:35 PM. Wall told his workers that he didn’t want the usual victory parade through the streets of Lynn. “We don’t want to wake the sleeping children or disturb the sick and the aged,” announced Firefighter James P. Kerivan, one of Wall’s two campaign managers. Some had likened Wall’s campaign to a “Boy Scout drive.” Others had remarked on the “amateurish” nature of his campaign. But Candidate Wall wanted it that way. He said, “I think the people of Lynn want decent, honest government: I’ve been gratified at the number of people who have never participated in politics before who volunteered their services in this campaign, good, solid people.” As Wall addressed the crowd which had gathered in the large L-shaped headquarters draped with red, white and blue banners, it was obvious that his supporters were surprised and disappointed at the reduced margin of victory over the primary. Wall had topped Caggiano by nearly a 2-1 margin in the primary, and many had thought that the former State representative’s demand for a recount under such circumstances would hurt Caggiano even more. But the results show that Caggiano gained after the primary and Wall’s margin was shaved to about 3-2. For Wall, the election ended several months of uncertainty over his political stock with the voters. His close supporters talked of his remaining in office for two terms, but Wall said it is too early to lay future plans. With him at his Western Avenue home near the Salem line receiving the results over a direct line from his campaign headquarters were his wife, Mrs. Theresa Wall; their daughter, Miss Virginia Wall, a city employe; three sons, Dr. James Wall of Lynn, Henry Wall, an Acton school teacher, and the Rev. Ralph E. Wall of St. Cecilia’s Church, Boston. Also present was Wall’s second manager, young attorney Owen B. Lynch; the mayor’s sister Margaret Wall; and Mrs. Wall’s sister, Miss Mary Rich of Boston. Two other sisters of Mrs. Wall, Mrs. Bransfield and Mrs. Cecelia Bullock, both of Lynn, later joined the family at the mayor’s campaign headquarters. Arriving at downtown headquarters shortly after 9:30 PM, the mayor was greeted by former Mayor Arthur J. Frawley, who 10 years ago yesterday defeated Caggiano by 15,000 votes in another mayoralty contest. Also among the first to welcome Wall were James E. Marks, his administrative assistant, and Bernard (Bunny) Lee, who was coordinator in charge of the campaign headquarters and Mrs. Rita Godbout, chairman of the women’s division. A large number of women workers, labor leaders and city officials were among the crowd which cheered the mayor as he mounted the steps to the small balcony overlooking the room. He told the gathering, “I want to thank the citizens for their endorsement and all of my workers for their efforts in my behalf. Not once have we said anything about my opponents. We have sold my program and myself as mayor. With our reward goes a responsibility, and I pledge to conduct my work in an honest, dignified manner.” “I am sure that the new city council and department heads will work with me in the interest of fulfilling my program to make Lynn one of the finest cities in the country,” he concluded as his wife, in a dark blue dress, and his daughter, in a complementing light blue outfit, stood nearby. Afterwards, a reception line was formed at which the mayor greeted the throng. Wall’s program for “progress with economy” includes a pledge to continue efforts to achieve economy in government, industry expansion, Civil Defense, modernization of the city’s 40 year old building code, gradual replacement of obsolete city operating equipment, urban renewal, expansion of Golden Age housing program and improved maintenance of playgrounds and the city’s two great athletic plants, Manning Bowl and Fraser Field. “I’ll be making my own decisions on every issue,” the mayor said. For Wall, who was born on Blossom Street, in “The Brickyard” section, the son of an employe of the former Lynn Gas and Electric Company, the victory was the culmination of a life of public service and civic leadership. He was a student at St. Mary’s High School, assistant coach of the West Lynn Boat Club, a General Electric Company machinist from 1917 to 1942, and an official of Local 201 of the International Union of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO. He took a leave of absence from the union post to become mayor in July upon the resignation of Mayor Thomas P. Costin, Jr., who was named acting postmaster. Entering politics in 1938 when Ward Five Councilor James Hayes vacated his seat to run for councilor-at-large, he served 16 years in the City Council. In July, he automatically became mayor by virtue of his office as president of the City Council. And last night “a real Lynner” reached the pinnacle or his career - elected by the people to serve the people. Mayor Wall Elated, Vows Economy With Progress Daily Evening Item, November 6, 1963 Elated at the size of his voter endorsement, and passage of his wage increase, Mayor M. Henry Wall jubilantly received friends and well-wishers at his Western Ave. home last night. Earlier in the day the mayor toured polling places and then went home for his afternoon rest. Beginning in early evening, many close friends, political figures, city officials, relatives and constituents offered congratulations on the size of Mayor Wall’s vote and success of the pay increase referendum. Remaining hoe throughout the evening, Lynn’s chief executive gave the following statement to an Item reporter. “I sincerely thank the people of Lynn for this fine endorsement of the Wall administration. I promise a continuing policy of progress with economy, as outlined in my inaugural address two years ago. Even though unopposed in this election, I realize the great responsibility.” “I’m deeply moved by the size of the vote given me. With the cooperation of the newly elected city council we will continue our program for the revitalization of Lynn. Vote Reflects Confidence In Mayor of Lynn Mayor M. Henry Wall yesterday received a resounding vote of confidence from the voters of Lynn. Although unopposed, dissatisfaction - had it existed - could have been expressed through blank votes or write-in candidates. The mayor polled 23,953 votes; only 4,690 were blanks. The mayor received a startling 84 per cent of the ballots cast. Vote by ward follows: Ward One: 3430 Wall, 584 blanks; Ward Two: 2673 Wall, 444 blanks; Ward Three: 4998 Wall, 992 blanks; Ward Four: 2614 Wall, 599 blanks; Ward Five: 3437 Wall, 699 blanks; Ward Six: 4326 Wall, 898 blanks; Ward Seven: 2439 Wall, 467 blanks; Total: 23,953 Wall, 4690 blanks. Dies at 71 Daily Evening Item, December 26, 1970 Lynn today mourned the death of its 45th mayor, M. Henry Wall, 71, 10 Western Ave., who died Christmas morning after being stricken at his home. He was rushed to Lynn Hospital in a police ambulance where he was pronounced dead on arrival. He served as mayor from 1961 to 1965. The funeral will be Monday at 9 a.m. from the Garrett J. Wall Funeral Home, 103 Johnson St. One of his sons, the Rev. Ralph E. Wall of Cambridge, will be the principal concelebrant at a concelebrated Mass of the Resurrection at St Pius V Church at 10. Burial will be in St Mary’s Cemetery. Succeeded Costin. Wall held elective offices for 25 years, including two full terms as mayor after filling the unexpired term of former Mayor Thomas P. Costin, who resigned to become the city’s Postmaster. He entered politics in 1938 when Ward Five Councilor James Hayes vacated the council seat to run for a councilor at-large berth, and served six terms as ward five councilor prior to his two terms as councilor at-large. He was in his second term as councilor at-large and was the city’s council president when Costin submitted his resignation. Wall subsequently took leave of absence from Local 201, International Union of Electrical Workers, where he had served as treasurer and assistant business agent. After completing Costin’s unexpired term, a period of only a few months, he won the mayoralty in 1961 by defeating then City Councilor Pasquale Caggiano by more than 6,000 votes. No Opposition. His reelection without opposition in 1963 was viewed as a form of fitting recognition of the high esteem in which he was held by both his political colleagues and the community at large. An ardent supporter of increased citizen participation in local government, Wall’s administrations were marked by several significant advances in community life. He led the campaign for the city’s first urban renewal program, the Market-Tremont Streets project; launched the fire department consolidation plan; and brought about the nine-story twin-towers senior citizen’s housing development at Bond and Pleasant Streets, appropriately now known as M. Henry Wall Towers. The city’s Department of Public Works also was realized under his guidance. The son of an employee of the former Lynn Gas and Electric Co., Wall was born in the heart of the city’s Brickyard Section, at the corner of Wheeler and Blossom Streets. Worked at GE. He was a graduate of St. Mary’s Boys High and was a machinist from 1917 to 1942 at the General Electric Co., where he was a member of the Thomson Quarter Century Club. He and his wife, Mrs. Theresa (Rich) Wall, married in 1919. In addition to his union activities, Wall was a coach for the old West Lynn Boat Club, and, as coxswain, steered his crews to three consecutive victories in 1919, 1920, and 1921 over the Farragut Club’s crews to retire the famous Bennett Cup. Both boating clubs are long gone from the city’s sports scene, but Wall retained an interest in boating throughout his career. Retired in 1965. He announced his retirement from public life June 28, 1965, following two periods of hospitalization for what were considered minor abdominal ailments. Previously, in 1948, he underwent emergency surgery for an appendectomy; and in 1957 underwent gall bladder surgery. More than 800 persons thronged St Michael’s Hall Nov. 16, 1965, for a testimonial dinner to the former mayor and saw the event come to an abrupt and tragic close with the death of Joseph T. Madden of South Boston, a friend of Wall’s for many years. Madden was fatally stricken while relating one of his famous Uncle Dinny stories, and Wall, one of the first to rush to the entertainer’s aid, moments later collapsed and was treated with oxygen by police and fire fighters. Following his retirement, Wall was designated by Mayor Irving E. Kane to represent city government to the Lynn Economic Opportunity Inc., Local Antipoverty Program. Wall was one of the agency’s founders and had served on its board of directors. Honored by Item. Twice a recipient of the Item Bouquet of the Week, the former mayor did not drink or smoke. For many years he was active in the old Father Matthew Total Abstinence Society. Chairman of the welcoming celebration for the city’s war veterans in 1945, he also was Chairman for the City Centennial Observance in 1950. Active throughout his political career in the affairs and activities of the Heart Association, United Fund, St Mary’s Holy Name Society, the Mental Health Association, and the Bay Council, Boy Scouts of America, Wall in most recent years devoted his time and efforts to Lynn Hospital building and improvements programs. He was a vice president of the hospital’s board of managers for 20 years and was a member of the board’s executive committee. The family home for many years was at 89 New Park St, prior to their moving to 10 Western Ave., near the Lynn-Salem line. The former mayor also leaves his wife, Mrs. Theresa (Rich) Wall, a niece of former Lynn Mayor James E. Rich; three other sons, Henry J. Wall, a teacher in the Acton school system; Dr. James R. Wall of Lynn; and John T. Wall of Nahant; a daughter, Miss Virginia R. Wall of Lynn; two brothers, Francis P. Wall of Swampscott, former police chief in that town and James B. Wall of Lynn; two sisters, Miss Margaret Wall and Miss Nora Wall of Lynn, 16 grandchildren, three great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Tributes. Harold J. McLaughlin, who was city council president during the last year of Wall’s administration in 1965 said: “I think without men of this character the world would be a poor place to live in. He was one of the finest persons I’ve ever met. The city of Lynn will lose an awful lot because of his fine influence.” Arthur F. Kimber Jr., Executive Director of Lynn Economic Opportunity, Inc. (LEO), on whose board of directors Mayor Wall served as Mayor Irving E. Kane’s appointee, said: “It was under his leadership that the Community Action Program in Lynn was initiated. I think he gave insightful leadership to the community during his years of public service. Personally, I found him to be a friend and a counselor. He was the kind of person you could look to for some sound advice. I think the Community Action Program, the poor of Lynn, the board, and LEO staff have lost a great champion, and we’re deeply saddened.” County Comer. Edward H. Cahill: “Henry and I have been friends since we began our political careers together as members of the City Council in 1940. I have never known a more conscientious, honorable man. His service to the city, both as a councilor and later as its mayor, have been beyond reproach. My sympathies go out to his kindly wife and members of his family. Men like Mr. Wall are difficult to replace in any community.” LEO role cited. The Rev. Norman Z. Knoy, Regional Planning Associate with United Community Services in Lynn, formerly Pastor of the First Christian Church and President of the LEO Board of Directors when Wall was on it said: “He was helpful in getting the original LEO program going. He was certainly the kind of man who didn’t want to hurt anyone or see anyone hurt. He was an undisputed man of integrity and leadership. I really enjoyed working with him. He was also instrumental in getting the code enforcement program in Lynn.” Stuart A. Tarr, Lynn’s mayor from 1948 to 1952 when Wall was on the council and its president for a portion of Tarr’s two terms as the city’s top official said: “He was one of the finest fellows I’ve met in my political career. When I was mayor, he was president of the city council and we served together when I was councilor at large in 1946 and 1947 when Lynn celebrated its centennial in 1950, he was chairman of the celebration and he did an outstanding job. In August, 1949, a new city hall was dedicated and he helped guide that to fruition. While I was mayor he accepted many assignments to help me out in representing me in speaking engagements. He was a fine churchman, family man and a real wonderful and outstanding statesman as far as I’m concerned. I really mean this sincerely. We’re going to miss him.” Thomas P. Costin Jr., whom Wall succeeded as mayor in mid-1961 when Costin was appointed Lynn Postmaster by President John F. Kennedy, said: “I think his passing will be missed by all those who were privileged to have known him during his life as well as those who will benefit by the great strides he made as mayor. It will be a great loss to myself and my wife, Rosemary, who were very close to Mayor Wall and his wife. We extend our sincerest sympathies to Mrs. Wall and the family.” Daily Evening Item, February 22, 1983 James B. Wall, 87, of 81 Whiting St, died Sunday at the J. B.
