 Another name is added to the long roll of the illustrious dead another aged warrior has fallen upon hfes bat tie field another weary pilgrim has reached home at last. Deacon Myron Hutchinson fell asleep in Jesus on the morning of the 18th at the advanced age of four score years. His grandfath- CT, John Hutchinson, was one of the early settlers of the town and the first deacon of the Congregational church; he was town clerk, also his son Asa and and grandson Myron, in all extending over a perion of 70 years. In what other family in Connecticut has the office been for so long term?' Myron indulged hope in the great revival under Dr Nettleton in 1916. He was a sober, sedate youth, noted for honesty, integrity and piety, by nature and grace just the man to fill the office of deacon For more than 30 years he has held the office and during the entire time has given marked evidence that he was truly a child of God. No man ever questioned his piety, ever foremost in every good word and work. He con- tributed hberally according to his abili- ty to all the benevolent institutions of the church, felt deep interest in the cause of temperance and in the reclaim ing of the inebriate. His hand was ready to raise the fallen and he was ever willing to speak words of hope and cheer to the Respondent. He was 8 godly man and his place cannot easily be filled.
