William Meighen Jr., the 63-year-old Cambridge resident injured in

            smoke inhalation. He was subsequently upgraded to “serious”
            condition, but died there Thursday (Dec. 7, 2000).

            and Thelma (Ridgely) Meighen.

            Cambridge State Hospital. He was a member of Cambridge
            Eagles Aerie 386 and the Cambridge Moose Lodge. He graduated
