Derby.
Not only people of this town but
friends and acquaintance everywhere
were startled and panied to hear of
the death of Hon. Marshall Carpen-
ter which took place at his residence
about l O'Clock Sabbath afternoon.
His disease was pneumonia, his sick
ness brief and his death sudden.
Week before last he was in Newport
engaged as an arbitrator in matter
pertaining to the estate of L. Robin
son and afterwards went to North
Troy to attend TO some matters con-
nected with the Rowell estate, return
ing home on Saturday, March 31st.
He has been in failing health for
some time and on reaching home was
not feeling as we'll as usual. He was
about, however, on Monday and
Tuesday of last week, not giving up
until Wednesday, from which his de-
cline was rapid. Mr.. Carpenter was
born in this town and we think has
always resided here. He has always
been intimately connected with town
matters and has for years done much
of the town business. He will be
greatly missed in all circles.-EG-
