 Loren Winchester was born in Gan terbury, Conn, October, 1799, married Miss Amelia BidweIl of South Coventry and died in South Coventry March 5th after an illness of several weeks, though he did not think himself seriously ill until the day before his death, when doctor was summoned for the first time. In early life MT. w. was a school teacher and he delighted to tell teachers of the present day of the schools he had taught in which surveying, arithmetic, grammar, etc., the setting of copies and making oi pens for hundred scholars was thought to be amply remunerated by the payment | lege of boarding round" After his com | ing to this town, he worked as machin- lst, and there was no better pump-dttel than MT. w.

AS a 1 legal adviser he had few equals, and 'sgo- ing to talk with MT. Winchester, settled many 8 proposed law suit and his ludg. .ment was generally freely given. He was the father of four children, but one, Mary, wife of Daniel Clark, survives him. Ow- ing to the illness of Mrs. Winchester from typhoid pneumon1a, the funeral on Tues day was attended by members of the i family, the clergyman, and those who assisted at the burial. The interment was in the Nathan Hale cemetery.

The pa rents of MT. w. lived to great age, and at the death of the father, all his children, seven in number, survived him, the youngest child then being over 50 years of age. But one of the family remains, tho sister living in Canterbury. | returned missionary, given at the M. E. church Sunday evening, was very inter esting.
