The Resignation of Mayor MARIZY is accepted.
Here is the answer for those of you who are wondering how it happened that Monsieur Sébastien Jean Marie SONNERY became the mayor of Chamelet.
Monsieur SONNERY was never Mayor THOLIN’s deputy. No, that honour had gone to Adjoint MARIZY, who then resigned as mayor after only 57 days, citing reasons of ill health.
Under the law of Vichy France, the Prefect Delegate made the final decision that the mayor of Chamelet would be Monsieur Sébastien Jean Marie SONNERY.
The Deputy Prefect at that time was Jean-Baptiste Victor DISSARD, who, after just over a year in the post, was suspended from his duties in September 1944.
