Last Hurley of Revere Beach fame dies
Revere
Clement W Hurley was at Revere Beach when four roller coasters clacked and clattered around the seaside amusement park. He was at Revere Beach when there were six merry-go-rounds and the crash of dodgem cars competed with the pounding of the surf. And he was at Revere Beach when gravelly voiced barkers shilled stuffed dolls for a quarter a chance and smell of hot dogs and onions filled the air.
Hurley, of Saugus, the last remaining member of the original Hurley family who built the first amusements at Revere Beach, died peacefully Wednesday in Salem at Salem Hospital. He was 89.
