FRANCIS ABEL LEAvENwoRrn. eldest
Son of Capt. A. E. Leavenworth Principal il
of the Normal School at Randolph, died at i
Monday morning, after an i'll a
ness OF three weeks. Though Frank. as he
was always called. had not attained his
he had so we'll lived the years
that were given him that far outside the
family circle of which he was a member
his death will be mourncd. His character
was such as to attract all who came to
know him, and his life was such as to be
full of promise for the future.
He was born in Hinesburgh, May 20,
1856. He attended his fathers school; and
afterwards learned the printers trade in
the FREEMAN Office where, rs elsewhere,
he was faithful and thorough. In the fall
of 1874 he entered Middlebury College, and
was, during the session of the legislature
that year. Messenger in the State Library.
His efficiency and courtesy are remem-
bered by all with whom his duties brought
him in contact. At the commencement |
of the present session it seemed that he
would be selected for Assistant Secretary
of the Senate without serious opposition,
but the illness which has since resulted
fatally, prevented the consideration of his
| name.
| He went to the Centennial a few weeks
ago, and returning, proceeded to Middle
bury where he was member Of the unior
class. He was soon taken sick with
fever, which it is thought he contracted in
Philadelphia. He was. however, thought
last week to be convalescent and out OF
danger, but on Friday 4 swelling of the
glands of the throat began which termi-
mated fatally Sunday night. The funeral
takes place day in Hinesburgh.
