OBITUARY.
1t becomes our painful duty 10 record the death
of Mr. Eber ID. Munger, senior tutor in Middle
bury College. He died at the house of his moth
er in West Rutland Saturday the 2lst instant
Not only have the hearts of relatives and friends
been smittcn severely by this unexpected blow,
but society has sustained loss and science and
| literature may well mourn over the premature de-
cease of a jealous and aspiring votary. Mr.. Mum
ger prsued his collegiate studies with marked sue
cess and graduated with honor to himself to his
| friends and to the College in 1912. On leaving
the halls of College he did not lay aside his books
nor intermit his literary pursuits, if his educa-
ton were complete, but having laid the foundation
| broad and deep, he resolved TO erect thereon by
his own skill and energy. the superstructure of a
| symmetrical and comprehensive education His
thirst for knowledge was a constant stimulus to
cxertion, and his capacity for acquiring was equal
| 10 his diligence twill surprise no one to learn
then, that his attainmcnts at the time of his de-
| cease, were unusually extensive for of his
| years. True, he was favored with memory I'M
| commonly retcntive, but his acquisitions were moi
merely the treasured results Of reading, his refec-
tive powers also were naturally strong snd active
and that they had been wisely disciplined by pa
ticnt and discriminating thought. Such talent:
| and mental culture would have ensured success il
| almost any profession and they were admirably
| adapted to the business Of instruction Mr. Munger
| had pursued the study Of medicine and had be
come deeply interested in its scientific character
vet teaching seemed to be mis- element, and he fel
most delight in imparting instruction to others
| As principal of an Academy or tutor in College
his success more than answered the expectations
of his friends, and some, VIC know, were confident
ly looking forward 10 the time when he would fiji
permanent chair of instruction in the halls Of hi
Alma Mater. But alas how suddenly were hi
bright prospects darkened, and the fond hopes o
his friends extinguished!
1t will doubtless be gratifying TO his kindred
and friends to learn that his manly bearing, AM
correct department. his intellectual attainments
kind heart and moral worth, had secured for him
the respect and affection of his pupils, the conf
dence and esteem of his associates in instruction
and the high regard of the community, in whicl
for the last year he has resided.
Mr.. Munger was not a professor of religion
though his thoughts had often been directed t.
the subject with great earnestness and solemnity
We understand that his mind, during his last i'll
ness, was much occupied with reflections on reli
gous truth; that he was calm in view of dealt
and resigned to the will of God. Comm.
In this place. on the Oath inst, Mrs. HUI
DAB STEWART, aged 95 years.
Mrs. Stewart was horn in 1852. and was th'
third Gaughte of Mr.. Elnathan Hubbell, thei
resident in STAFFORD, Conn. AT an earl.
age she accompanied her fathers family Il
Bennington in this State, where she was u
nited in marriage to JOHN Stewart. with whom
the providence Of God permitted her to liv,
81 years.
As her father removed 10 this state whel
the diffic ulties between the inhabitants OF er
mont and the citizens of New York were &c
curing; and as some years alter, the Revo
luiionary struggle came on, and the storm o
war swept over that part Of the country wher
her husband was residing, Mrs. Stewart
earlier days were days of peril, privation ant
change, Her husband was at The taking o
: St Johns and Montreal under Montgomery
at the battle Of Bennington, her father, hus
band, AID two OF her brothers were on th
field of conflict. AS MIR. Stewart at the tim
of the latter engagement was residing in Ben
nington, and his house was no great distanc
from the battle ground. Mrs. Stewart oftei
described the intense agony she experience
while listening TO the roar Of cannon, and see
ing the wagon loads ofthe dead and wounded
carried past her door, lest some of her friend
might have fallen.
Mrs. Stewart resided successfully in Ben
ningtor, Cambridge. Pawle', Ticonderoga
Orwell, Burlington. Otsego Co. n. Y, New
Haven, V. T. and Middlebury.
She became a resident OF Middlebury il
1872. She first made public profession O
religion in 1900, while living in Burlington
NY.
Mrs. Stewart was woman of uncommon
, energy and decision of character, and the vi
! cissiiudes through which she passed 10 earl
life only developed the more this trait in ne
mind. No one could converse with her, an
witness the lighting up of her coun,enane
venerable with the lines OF century ofvear
marked upon it. and not be convinced of thi
fact.
Mrs. Stewart was 6ne specimen of cheer
fulness in old age. The pains and infirmitie
: of her advancing years were severe, but sh
endured them with foriitude and patience, I
her customary vivaeity seemed never to for
, sake her.
