Mrs, Pattie j. Bruce, who died
last thanksgiving day at the residence
of her son in Charleston, was one of
the first inhabitants of this town, and
q resident here for thirty years. In
the year 1889, she, with her husband |
and eleven children, removed from |
Wallin gford, VT, into the wilderness
east of Willoughby Lake. For three
years her husband was an invalid,
and she, with her children, the oldest
boy only nine years of age, strug-
gled to keep the wolf from the door;
and the hardships which she under
went to provide her children with
life's necessities, were second not
even to those of the mother of Gar
field. She was truly Christian wo-
man, friend to the needy, the sick
and the afflicted, and her children
and friends mourn heartfelt loss.

At one O'Clock on the afternoon OF the
Sd inst, Mary, daughter ofLucius Brown,
in the north part of Lyndon took Paris
green and died at O'Clock the next morn
ing. As soon as the family learned that
poison had been taken, Drs. Hubbard
and Copeland were summoned, arriving
about five o'clock Thursday evening. The
poison had not commenced to operate,
but Mary said she had taken it, wanted
to die, and was unwilling to take any an
tidote. She was, however, forced to
swallow and soon threw up the contents
of the stomach containing numerous
specks of the poison, but the dose had
been SO long in the system that vomiting
and purging could not effect a cure. Ter
rible gripping and pains followed, and the
patient cried for relief, but in no instance
expressed desire to live. She attribut-
ed her troubles to one Sam. Fitzpatrick,
who works for Ed. Harris, where deceas
ed had been at work during the summer.
As it is not to be supposed that she would
misrepresent the facts in the presence of
death, Sans iniquity ought to keep him
in torment for some time Union.
