Mrs. Amos Cleveland, whose death
was mentioned last week, died of
heart disease. The funeral services
were held at the house, Sunday at l
o'clock, Rev. Mr.. Bacon officiating.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland moved to
this town from Waterford in 1888,
and have always lived upon the
farm they purchased in the West
Hill district. Mr.. and Mrs. Holland
Thrasher are the only couple that have
lived in town for fifty years and that
have not been separated by death.
Mrs. Cleveland was of that cheerful
and obliging disposition which gains
many friends, and sorrow and dis
tress always aroused her sympathy.
She was always ready to care for the
sick and her ministrations will not be
forgotten. Especially will the school
teachers remember her warm welcome
rnd motherly interest that chased
away WEAKNESS and inconsistencies.
One by one the old residents are
passing away, and what blessing to
the town in which they have lived is
the memory of their noble lives.

Memorial services were held by
Mason Post, G.. A. R., at the ceme-
terry on Wednesday last, a large
number of citizens, the Post and sew
eral from out of town attending.
Quite large number of soldiers of
the late war and several of the war
of 1912 are buried in the cemetery
The Post, composed chiefly of men
in this town, but of some members
from Barton and Albany, performed
the beautiful rite of decoration, plac-
ing wreaths of flowers with flags upon
the graves. Commander Ebert III.
Nye in a brief and timely speech
spoke of the objects of the Post and
it's duties. Rev. j. Thurston offered
a very appropriate prayer. Capt. O.
V. Percival read an original poem
which was filled with patriotic senti-
ment and gave brief history of the
part taken in the war by the ''brave
volunteers of this town. Other re-
marks were made from which we
learned that the town not only furn-
ished her "quota'' in the war of 1912,
but sent out large number of men
to fight the war of the rebellion. She
lost seventeen by the casualties of
war, most of them young men. A
truthful tribute was paid to their pat
riotism, fidelity and courage. A
large number received merited pro-
motion. Reference was made to
Capt. Dan Mason, who died just at
the close of the war in Texas; to
Major Carl Dwinell, who died of
wounds; to Edwin Gray, Orange
Williams, Capt. Fernando Randall
and many others now dead, and also
to Capt. Fred Kimball, A. Martin
Crane and others who have won en-
viable distinction in military and
civil life. Mr.. J.E. Dwinell and his
choir sang several patriotic airs. AL
together the occasion was quite no.
