GRANTON-- George Schmitz, who retired this year after 45 years of service as supervisor and chairman for the Town of Lynn was honored at Tuesday's annual town meeting.

Schmitz, who did not seek re-election as chairman, was presented with a plaque in appreciation for his service to the citizens. He served in public office from 1938 to 1983.

The plaque included a gavel, and was inscribed with the names of the present Lynn Town Board members.

The former town official did not seek re-election this spring, and Lawrence Behling was elected new chairman. Schmitz, of Route 1, Granton, is a life-long resident of the Town of Lynn and a retired farmer. His family has operated the same farm since 1865.
