1965: Maurice T. Perilli:

He was one of our earliest and best mayors. I have a substantial collection of Maury Perilli memorabilia in the Hamilton Township Public Library's Local History Collection. During his tenure, the Hamilton Library, Hamilton's police station, the transit village, and "Hamilton Park" that was to become Veterans' Park was established. Maury was also involved in the early negotiations with Fritz and Edna Kuser for the township's acquisition of Kuser Farm in the early 1970's. As a dear friend of Maury's I can safely say he is one of the most honorable and honest men I have ever met. Unfortunately, many of the current generation have no idea of the accomplishments of this man who brought Hamilton from a rural community to the viable metropolis it is becoming today. Hamilton Township's recently published local history book says very little about the incredible accomplishments this man made as the Mayor of Hamilton Township. Thankfully, the Local History Collection at the Hamilton Township Library has a comprehensive collection of newspaper articles which recorded his accomplishments.
