y --1iobert W. IIeminway whose Hines,
we have several times referred TO, died
at his residence on Friday evening last
at the age of ffty-two years. Bridport
was the place of his birth, being the on.
ly son of Mr.. Jonas IIeminway, who still
survives him. After completing his ed.
ucation he adopted the profession of q
civil engineer, and spent ten or fifteen
years in the West, aiding in the survey
and construction of several important
lines of railway which opened up the av-
cnues TO western commerce and trade.
In this avocation he was cminently sue
ccssful. While engaged in his duties
connected with this important enterprise
in the West, he had dclcteriOus drug
administered TO him by mistake, from
the effects of which he never recovered,
and which ultimately caused his death,
after many years of i'll health and suffer-
ing. Mr.. Hemenway returned to Yer
mont about eight years ago and engaged
in agricultural pursuits. He had fond
ness for fruit growing and planted many
thousands of fruit trees on the hills near
his residence, with view Of owning
one of the largest orchards in Vermont.
But death has interrupted this and other
plans for the future and taken from the
community a useful and honored citizen,
who had the fullest respect and esteem
of all who knew him. His funeral was
held at the Congregational church on
Monday last, where the usual religious
exercises were observed. Rev. w. W.
Winchester preached the discourse.
