life had been trembling In the balance for several
weeks. She expired Sabbath morning last, and
her remains were brought to Barre on Monday

OF age, and young lady of rare excellence and
attractiveness. Her untimely death Is deeply
mourned far beyond her immediate family circle
CALVIN N. ANDRus OF Chelsea died April 9th.
few weeks ago we lost Dea Moore. Now an
othNi HOpu man mas idiicu WHO uNeu IN tne same
section Of the parish and that part OF our little
vineyard is sadly bereft of watchmen and workers
1t gives the pastor special joy to see in his church
and congregation representatives of the sturdy old
families that builded up our state and churches.
Mr.. Andrus was one Of them, filling well the
place, and wearing well the mantle of the fathers
Having to win competency by severe personal
toll and hardship, he did not wait to be rich but
lent helping hand in all directions, as If the
means were already won. As a producer and dis
tributor of agricultural wealth he will be missed
As a citizen, in the church, as aneighbor land his
neighborhood extended beyond his own town,
many must say, eve did not know how to spare
him." He was man OF sterling integrity, and
hardy, substantial character; for nearly forty
years member of the Congregational church,
and friend and helper of every good work He
fell at the post where he was ever found, that of
duty. To human eyes, his death was caused by
exposure and suffering while conducting funeral
procession over bleak and unfrequented roads to
remote corner of neighboring town on that
tempestuous oath Of March, yet remembered by
many Of us. A wife and three daughters are left
to claim and to have our best sympathies.
