without warningsor E4tice, was that Of DR..
Carlos Marston, who, about three months, has
been in practice as homeopathic physician
in the village of South Ded1ain, little over
four miles distant from Dedham Court house.
Some ten weeks since Dir. Marston removed
to this place from Concord Vermont and
rented a tenement in the house known rs
Hartshorn's Tavern. He was not entirely
unknown in the village, Rev. Mr.. Hill, who is
pastor of the Universalist Church there, hav-
ing been a schoolmate Of the Doctor and
since that time till his death, one of his most
intimate friends Z" nf
His family consisted of his wife Susannah,
who was between thirty and thiry-hve years
od--the Doctor was nearly forty-five--and an
adopted daughter Cora, about ten years old,
who had been with them from infancy
There was also hired servant girl, and with
in few weeks, Miss Susan r. May, of Water
ford, Vermont, had come to Dedham to place
herself under the care of DIR. Marston, and
has since resided in his family. ,la,t .ru.
