    Notes:

    CHARLES DOANE JR. DIES; TOWN MEETING MODERATOR
    Charles N. Doane Jr., a lifelong resident who sold meat door to door during the Depression and served as moderator for hundreds of town meetings, died Sunday. He was 88.
    Doane, husband of the late Marion Griswold Doane, was born in Essex on Jan. 6, 1912. He was the son of the late Charles N. Doane Sr. and Edith Palau Doane.
    Doane, who lived on River Road, became known to many local residents as he worked with his father selling meat and vegetables door to door from a refrigerated delivery truck. The Doanes operated the delivery business for more than three decades, including the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II.
    Doane was appointed postmaster at the Essex village post office in May 1961 and served as postmaster for 13 years until his retirement in 1974.
    Doane, an active Democrat, served five terms on the board of selectmen in the 1950s. He also served on the board of finance, zoning commission and, most recently, on the zoning board of appeals.
    Jerome Cutone, a Democrat who also served on the board of selectmen and board of finance, said Doane was a dedicated public servant who followed his years in elected office by serving as moderator for countless town meetings. "Every time you went to a town meeting, Charlie Doane was the moderator," he said.
    Doane's daughter, Jane Doane Anderson of Carlisle, Mass., said her father "never missed a town meeting from the time he was old enough to vote until the mid 1980s," when his wife's illness limited his ability to attend the evening meetings.
    The board of selectmen honored Doane in May 1986 by proclaiming a "Charlie Doane Day," which recognized Doane as "an Essex original, farmer, gentleman and friend."
    Doane was an active member of the Essex Congregational Church, Essex Historical Society, Democratic town committee and the Essex Land Trust. Doane was a charter member of the Essex Lions Club and a trustee and director of the Essex Savings Bank. He also served on the state commission that supervised the construction of the original Baldwin Bridge over the Connecticut River between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme.
    Along with his daughter, Doane is survived by a son, Charles Doane III of Essex, and a brother, Robert L. Doane of Essex. His sister, Dorothy D. Hyde, died previously.
    A funeral service will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at the First Congregational Church of Essex on Prospect Street. Friends may call at the Robinson, Wright & Weymer Funeral Home in the Centerbrook section Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. Contributions in his memory may be made to the First Congregational Church of Essex, Prospect Street, Essex, CT 06426, or the Essex Fire Engine Co. 1, P.O. Box 786, Essex, CT 06426.
