AREA OF WASHINGTON CouN>
TY.-Our old friend, Judge Gar
rett has called our attention to an
error going the rounds of sever
al papers in this State, as well
as the Texas Nesc Yorker, pub
lished in New York.
Washington county is report
ed as containing three hundred
square miles of territory. The
comfy contained before she
gave the strip of territory to
Lee county, about l2+ leagues.
Lee county got about 80 leagues
of this, thus leaving 80 for
Washington, or 407,376 acres,
which equals 636 square miles.
Therefore, our county does not
receive credit for one half the
number of acres she contains.
Judge Garrett is one OF the
Oldest surveyors in the county,
and is fully posted as to the ter
ritory Of this county.

Mrs. Laura (Squier) Langdon,
wife of Seth Langdon, Esq. of New.

town about midnight, on the night of
Monday, Dec. 3. She was stricken
with apoplcxy, on Thanksgiving day
about eleven o'clock, and, except for a
brief period on the following Saturday.

Mrs. Langdon was the daughter of
Wait Squicr, formerly of New Haven,
and was born, reared, and spent a long
and useful life in that town. She was
married to Mr.. Langdon, January %,
1921, and their golden wedding was
celebrated with interesting ceremonies,
Jan. %, 1871, daughter, Mrs. S. c.
Lewis, of Lockport, n. Y, being mar
ricd at that time. Mrs. Langdon, by
her uniform kindness, amiability and
sterling character, had won and held
the fullest esteem of the entire commu-
nifty where she lived, and has gone to
the better land at the ripe age of seven
ty-fivc years, universally lamcnted.
She leaves family of three sons and
six daughters to mourn her loss. One
of the sons, Hon. Robert b. Langdon,
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his
wife, arrived the evening before
Thanksgiving, anticipating spending
pleasant festival with his parents and
family friends, which hope was rudely
dissipated. The funeral occurred Oh
Thursday. -
