 Samuel Howard Mildram, 1867-

From American Series of Popular Biographies. Massachusetts Edition. This Volume Contains Biographical Sketches of Representative Citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Boston: Graves & Steinbarger, 1891.



SAMUEL HOWARD MILDRAM, civil engineer, with an office at 125 Milk Street, Boston, is a prominent citizen of Dorchester, and has represented Ward Twenty-four as Councilman. He is a son of the late Samuel Mildram, and a native of Arlington, Mass., the date of his birth being December 4, 1867.

Samuel Mildram was an expert mechanic and during his active career was engaged in the manufacture of heavy tools and railway supplies, carrying on the business until his death, February 29, 1888. He married Nancy E. Caldwell, who was born in Salem, Mass., in 1836, and is still living. Of their union three children were born, namely: Henry C.; Samuel Howard, the particular subject of this biography; and Louis A.

Samuel Howard Mildram is a graduate of the English High School, Boston, and of the Institute of Technology. He took a post-graduate course in the latter institution, thus thoroughly fitting himself for the profession he has chosen to follow, and in which he is meeting with well-merited success.

On June 5, 1895, Mr. Mildram married Miss Mollie E. Gregg, a daughter of John E. and Emeline Gregg, who came from England to Massachusetts and settled in Roxbury, where Mrs. Mildram was born. Their union has been blessed by the birth of one child, Gladys H. Mr. Mildram is a man of influence in the community in which he resides, and has served the citizens of Ward Twenty-four as a representative in the City Council, to which he was elected in the fall of 1898. In this body he was a member of various committees, including the following: Auditors, City Messenger, Contingent, Engineering, Music, and Mayors. He is a member of the Minot Club, of Ashmont, of the Dorchester Gentlemen's Driving Club, of the Neponset Valley Boat Club and of the Ashmont Improvement Association.
