I/z<Our town has boon called to part
with another of her Oldest citizens, In
the person of Mr.. s. L. Sprague, who
ydepai ted this life on Friday, Dec. II,
at eleven O'Clock, p. m, at his resi-
dence. Mr.. Sprague was born In this
place March IL, 1911, and has continued
to reside here during his whole life
excepting about nine months spent In
Vergennes several years since In the
clothing business In company with Mr..
j. d. Hustled. His mercantile life
commenced as clerk under Gordon
Searles In the old store near the bridge.
AT the age of nineteen he became es-
tablished for himself and has ever y
since strictly followed this line of bust
ness at or near his place to the time OF
his death. Unusual prosperity has fol-
lowed him, never having had to make
an assignment or dividend less than
100 per cent. TO his creditors. Having
been in trade almost fifty years, he was
undoubtedly the oldest merchant In
this county, and seemed to possess nat
urally the qualifications 80 necessary
to the pleasing and acceptable man of
trade. His political views were in
sympathy with the democratic party
and Is well-known in this part as q /
leading man in that party. He has
held different offices of trust In town
and always discharged the duties in |
cumbent on him to general satisfaction. |
Mr.. Sprague was twice married: first
to Miss Lucinda Brainerd, by whom
he had four children, three Of whom, |
two sons and daughter, survive him. |
His second marriage was to Mrs. LYDIA |
CLAY Rice, who also survives him. |
His domestic relations were always of
the most pleasant kind, being as he |
was, an affectionate husband and father |
earnestly wishing the good welfare oil
his family. His last sickness was of
short duration, although his disease,
whatever 1t may have been, had I'M
doubleday been preying upon him
for months and perhaps for years. He
exDressed himself "a content with the
moved him to the world beyond. His
funeral services were held on Monday
last from the W. M. church, Rev. J.
Quay, assisted by Rev. B. =. Taylor, Of
