his homestead in Middle Neck, First Flee

day morning last. Mr.. Flintham's death
was not surprise to his many friends

citizen and agreeable neighbor. Start
ing in life with one farm, on
which he died, he managed SO well

in few years which he began to i'm
prove. He made it a rule to invest his
profits in real estate and as result he
