DEATH MOVES ON THE WATERS.
Party of Five Drowned in Lake Win.
nipiseOgee-Rev.J Jerome and His Three
Children Victims.
WOLFBORO. N. r.. Nav %. 1888


Rev. L. &. Jerome pastor of the Congre-
gational Church of this village, in company
with his two children, Paul, aged IL, and
Bernard, aged s, and his daughter Kate, aged
8, and Theodore Davis, aged 10, went out on
the lake for fishing and pleasure Yesterday,
expecting to return about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. Not making their appearance at
the stated time, the family became somewhat
alarmed. A small steamer arrived at four
o'clock and reported seeing a boat bottom
side up,drifting in the vicinity of Kennston's
island. Parties Immediately went in search.
and late in the evening the bodies were found
lying on the bottom of the lake in about s
feet of water, and 40 feet from the shore.
Indications led to the belief that in an effort
to disengage hook which had caught on the
bottom, the boat, which was a small, cranky
affair, upset the craft, and all were thrown
out. Mr.. Jerome leaves a widow and two
children The bodies of the drow med have
been enbalmed, and will be forwarded on
Monday TO New Bedford, Mass, the former
home of Mrs. Jerome. Appropriate services
will be be held at the Congregational Church
tomorrow.
Rev. T. C.. Jerome was ordained minister
at Patchogue, n Y, in 1878, and preached
there until 1881 when he settled at ManIstee,
Mich, where he remained until October,
1882, when he was installed pastor of the
Congregational church at Gorham, Me. He
was transferred to Wolfboro June, 1885. His
church was crowded with people listening to
a temperance lecture by a western lady when
the news of the disaster was made known
Six ladies faintel and terrible excitement
prevailed. Rev. Mr.. Jerome was a very able
minister At the Strafford conference of
Congregational churches at Great Falls, on
Tuesday last, he read very interesting pa
per entitled, What is the Bible View of
Worldly lives He was 45 years old. and a
authoress.
