| DEATH OF DIR. b. f. PAIGE 1t is with
sorrow that we announce this morning
the decease of our friend and immediate
neighbor, David E. Paige. NJ. d, which
took place at his residence, corner OF
| Washington and Prospect streets, at half
past six o'clock on Saturday morning last,
at the age of fifty years, seven months and
TWEEN y-one days. Dr. Paige was a native
of Rupert, in Bennington County. He
studied medicine, and graduated at Cas-
Teton Medical College He first COM
menced the practice of his profession at
Shoreham, in Addison County u,La-,.. -
remained Tor thirteen years. lie was
highly esteemed by the people of that
section as a faithful and skillful physi-
elan, and it was the deep regret of that
community when he decided to re-
move TO this town. He has resided in
Rutland nearly fifteen years. He, at an
early period of his residence, secured the
confidence of the community, and entered
upon wide field of practice, which he
retained until his death. He, for linn
tied time. associated with him Dr. r. G.
Monroe, who died of consumption at
Granville, n. Y, in December last. He
had been in feeble health for several years,
but, by careful attention TO his condition,
he has been able, most of the time, to at
tend to his professional duties. The
immediate disease that closed his life was
typhus fever, which no human skill was
able to modify, and he gradually and
peacefully passed into that sleep that
knows no waking.
The life of DR.. Paige was not cventful.
but was one of those quiet, useful lives
which leaves an impression for good upon
those who come within the circle of their
influence, and whose memory is precious
and blessed to all who enjoy the pleasure
of the intimate relations of faraily ties
and friendship. He was faithful and
devoted physician, whose quiet and
thoughtful manner and ekillful appre-
citation commended him to the confidence
of those who were under his care, and he
was held in great esteem in the family
circles where it was his fortune to be as
ISOLATED III the capacity,of a physician.
He was not of that boastful mien that
characterize some individuals, but his
was quiet. gentle trustful confidence
that led him to thorough examination of
all forms of disease, and all other subjects
that were presented for his calculation.
Many households will mourn the loss of
the genial and attentive physician and
sympathizing friend. In the stricken
home a void is created that can never be
filed, wife who. has leaned upon the
strong arm with the confidence of child,
son whose entering manhood is clouded
by the departure of kind and indulgent
father, and two young daughters, whose
playful hours were enlivened by the COM
partnership of him who was their guar
dian and instructor. Rarely has one OF
our homes been more bereaved than by
the sudden dispensation of Providence.
which removes from them their guide and
protector. Thus has passed away faithful
physician, kind and genial neighbor, a
respected citizen, and consistent Chris
| tian man.
He leaves wife, son and two
daughters, and sister to mourn his loss.
He was q brother of DR.. Thomas J. Paige,
who died some years since.
