this town, is the owner of a meat barrel
which has been constantly used for 80
years and as a faithful preserver of meats
he would hesitate TO exchange it for a

shnnnelC. shedd.

Shubael Childs Shedd, who died at
his home in Reading, Sept 10th last, was
born May II, 1898, and was tberef re
eighty-one years and nearly four months
of age at the time OF his death His
father, Jonathan Shedd, Esq, came from
Grolon, Mass, to Reading, in 1890, and
the son lived and died on the farm where
he was born. Mr.. Shedd, in his day,
was a man of much prominence in bis
town and regarded with much esteem
and confidence by his fellow townsmen,
who gave him various positions of trust
at their hands, notably that Of Justice
of the Peace, which Office he held for
twenty-six years, and in 1888 and 1884
he represented the town IN the legisla-
ture. His father had represented the
town but ten years previous, having
been member six years, his last term
being as late as 1928. Mr., Shedd was a
cotemporary of such leading men in his
town as solomon Reyes, Samuel G. Love
land, Rufus Forbush, Hon. Benoni
Buck, VIM. Felch and others who have
passed away except the two last named.
He always took much interest in public
affairs, was courteous in manner, enjoy
ed the spice of good joke, and had an
encouraging word for young people. He
was farmer and enjoyed vigorous old
age till within year or more, and up
to within few months of his death did
the usual chores about his premises
The final cause of bis death appeared to
be disease of the liver, but during bis
last days his mind and memory were
clear to remarkable degree. He out
lived all of his fathers family and slsc
all of his four children except his daugh
ter, Ms. f. S. Hammond of Reading
who we believe is now the only near rel
alive living, and few only are left whc
remember him in the active duties o
life, when the town was in the zenith o.
Its growth, business and population, anc
les public affairs were transacted a
Reading Centre.

and for many years had been one of the
editors Of the New England Farmer,
Boston, until within ayear OF more when
falling health compelled him to cease from
labor. His disease was consumption and
the two past winters he had spent in the
South hoping for Improvement, but his
disease was too far advanced to be ward
ed off, though he obtained some allevia
ton. Mr. Fletcher early learned the
trade of printer, and at one time we
think worked with Horace Greeley. Al
writer he always expressed plain ant
practical ideas without establishment OF
fancy words. Reared in an almost ex
cIusively agricultural community, BIZ
was especially familiar with the practi
cal duties of the farm, to which he add
ed much other useful knowledge, as BIZ
editorials frequently showed. He was 1
self-made man, educated in the printing
office, and though a little inclined a
times to look upon the dark side, wal
nevertheless persevering, and always re
tanned a strong sympathy for the labor
ing class who we're struggling in the bat
tie of life, for whom he had kind anC
encouraging word. He had been a resi-
dent of Boston or near there, Winches
ter we believe, for many years, where hi
family now reside aid where he leaves /
wife and several children.
