turning from the burial OF Lenoard
Smith, the four bearers riding in a
double carriage behind her and an
other lady, their harness gave way
letting the carriage run forward on
to Mrs. Whites wagon. The pole
struck her in the shoulder, injuring
her quite severely, though it is hoped
no bones were broken and no very
serious internal injury was suffered.
This is terrible hill and the great
wonder is that more accidents do not
occur upon it.
Death made sad inroads in this
place last week: Miss Nettie Cutler,
daughter of Orrin Cutler, died
on Wednesday. Miss Cutler was
born and reared in this town, and
had a large circle of friends. She
went into decline year ago or
more with consumption and came
down to her end slowly but peaceful
ly. Leonard Smith, fan aged man,
who of late has been in bad mental
condition, died Oh Wednesday. On
Friday, Parker Virgins, a we'll
known citizen, living two and half
miles from this village, died at his
home. Mr.. Virgins had long been
resident of this town and was es-
teemed as good neighbor and hon
est citizen.
Ellis A. Cobb of Bennington, VT,
died at the esidence of E. E. Raw
son, on Friday last, aged 40 years.
Mr.. Cobb was the son of the late
Timothy Cobb of this town, and
came recently to spend a brief time
among his friends and relatives,
hoping thereby to recuperate his
health, which has been failing for
some months. He was really very
feeble and ventured upon the street
but few times. Something like a
week ago he was attacked with a
lung trouble, possibly the pneumo-
MIA, and ran down very rapidly. Mr..
Cobb was reared here and was great
ly esteemed for his genial qualities,
his good sense and his sterling hon
esty. About twenty years ago he
moved to Bennington where he has
been engaged as cashier of bank.
and where he has held many posi-
tions of responsibility and trust. He
leaves a wife, a mother and many
other relatives and friends. His
funeral was held on Sunday, Rev
Mr.. Phelps officiating. His re-
mains were buried in the cemetery
in this place, lot for his last rest
ing place having been selected by
him some time since.
