81 In Berlin township on Che morning of the
sz20th inst. ANATHASIEb GREooRY departed this
:slffe,,in the 8lst year of his age.
The deceased was one of those comparatively
few individuals that have lived beyond
-pthreeseore years and ten, the allotted period of
man S earthly existence. He out-lived the gen.
-sreration with which he was born, and formed as
=. 1t were a connecting link betsseen the far past
and the present. Neighbors, friends, and rela-
tiFes, doubtless would be gratiaed to see some
- public tribute paid to his deserving memory, as
he passes away from this lower sphere to one
higher and more blessed. -
The deceased was a native Of Connecticut
He was born in the town of Kent, Ltchfeld
. county, in the year TITS. Fifty years of his
long life were chiefly spent IN his native State.

countrymen, he determined to einigrate to the
west toimproye his fortune. Ohio became the
State of his adoption, and in the spring of 1928,
- q farm on Berkshire street became the future
home of himself and family. Here for twenty
= FIVE years he zealously engaged in the same
honorable and useful employment OF agriculture
that he pursued in his native state.
&A& When death deprived him of his devoted and
more than equally aged companion. and his own
advanced age warned him to lay aside the cares
OF business, he sold his property and resded
with his children in whose midst he died, The
deceased was ushered into life whilst the Revo-
iutionary strife was raging in all its fierceness
and INTENSIVE. The DeclaEation had but just
been r,xonulgated, and the cannon that estab-
Iished 1t had not ceased laundering. His life
therefore has erabracedth the identical years of the
Republics duration. He, saw it emerge from
the warfare and grasp of despotisln, and aided
: dieraGhief Magistrates of the nation. The life OF
the deceased was o private one, but the sacred
duties that are. its accompaniments were vel
performed. No youth of our land could draw
any encoafagerpents to vice from his example.
But he would find that honor, usefulness and
virtue are real sources of happiness; that until
ring industry, integrity of character, and decis-
ion Of purpose wifi bring respect and fortune;
W. may z all nI0uTR as citizens that an aged
patriot has Departed smaller circle may La
smentathe 1osSo of a dear relative, but all will
remember with consolation and pleasure, that
he lived to a tranquil old age, leaving no stain
upon a life of spaFzey,2 faelity and goodness. He
tafwags manifested an interest in the prosperity
of the Episcopal Church Berkshire, and he
and his companion before her death united them
~.sselEes 10 its membership He died in a Chris
tians hape of future happinessAnd immortality
