and where they resided most of the time
till 1862, when they moved to this town.
Mr.. Blake died in 1866. With COM
Portable home, surrounded by friends,
relatives and children, her life has been
pleasant, and it was fondly hoped she
might oe spared yet many years to her
enjoyment and to their blessing; but it is
ordered otherwise. In early life, fifty
four years ago, she was converted and
baptized by the now venerable Rev. Ma
than w. Scott of Glover. She has been
a faithful member of the Methodist church
all these years. Her life has been such
as to make her memory treasure in the
hearts of many friends, and, we believe,
blessing to the world. She was 6S
years of age. The funeral was attended
yesterday, Revs. S. S. Brigham, N. w.
Scott, and G. B. Moody officiating.
V. N. Spalding has rented his no.
tel to Francis Richardson, who took
possession on Monday last. Mr..
Spalding has rented a hotel at White
River Junction and gone there. Mr..
Richardson proposes to open q stage |
route in connection with this and |
his Willoughby Lake House in the
summer travel season, running coach |
over to Pages landing, where the
| little LIKE steamer will take passen-
gers through to the other end of the
lake, giving them the most beautiful
view to be had on the lake and OPP
portunity to stop at the Lake house
as long as they choose. Coming
from the south they leave the rail-
road at West Burke and take stage
to lake and thence via steamer and
stage to railroad at Barton. Mr..
Richardson has opportunity here to
do large and profitable business,
and we bespeak agenerous patronage
with well-kept hotel. If he keeps
as good house as Spalding kept,
leaving out the rum selling, he will
please the public and have the good
will of the people of the town; should
he decide to make his house liquor
establishment he will experience
stormy weather, and word of eau
ton may not be out of place here.
