lhe servlces conducted by the Rev. MT. Belcher of Falls Village. It. is but little more than two years gosswhile he was absent in Hartford, that his wife died very suddenly leaving little girl but few hours old. Death thus breaking up the home, the little child was taken and cared for by the grand parents, coming to them as blessing, to gladden. with it's baby ways the last years of their lives. But only for time. Death came again to claim it's own, and last spring the little one was laid to rest by the side of it's mother. Only a. few months more and the father was stricken down with pneumonia, a stranger in strange city. At that time there came to him message to come to the bedside of his father who was then quite i'll at home. To this he only sent word back that he was not well enough to travel so far, mild message which did not excite the fears of his friends. This was the last they heard from him, till on Friday, five weeks after, there came despatch that he was dying in a hospital in Jersey City His brother-in-law iourneyed to the city, only to find him dead Thus the last of the broken household was gathered home, and it was only left for sym pathizing friends and neighbors to assist in the last sad rites which laid him beside his wife and child.
