SQUIRE Article Text: New York, March 12.--Rollin M. SQUIRE, formerly commissioner of public works of this city, died at his home tonight of heart failure, aged 62 years. Rollin M. SQUIRE was born in Springfield, Vt., and had a varied and adventurous career, having been a lawyer, an editor, a miner, a spiritualist, a politician, a promoter and office holder. Of late years he had been in poor circumstances and was connected with the New York and New Jersey car service company. Some years ago he started a clubhouse uptown but did not succeed in the venture. At one time SQUIRE was a miner in California. During the GRANT funeral, in August 1885, he caused some verses of his own composition to be placed on the front of the city hall. They excited such widespread comment of a most unfavorable nature that Mayor GRANT ordered them taken down. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
