Our esteemed townsman Hon. Asa L.
French died Saturday morning, Feb.
10, after brief illness. He had gone to
New York to spend the winter, but was
taken sick there and returned to st.
10 hnsburY. His death was due, not to
any particular disease, but to a general
breaking down of the system consequent
upon old age.
Judge French was born in Craftsbury,
Oct. 4. 1904, and in early manhood came
to this place and was for time connect
ed with the business of E. & T. Fairbanks
& Co. Here, too, he married his wife,
Laura W. Wright, who died in 1879. He
was for many years one Of the leading
citizens Of the town foremost in public
enterprises and social undertakings. He
was one of the trustees Of the savings
bank; one of the founders of the Caledo-
mia county temperance society; state
senator for two terms. He is best re-
membered, however, in connection with
the probate court For one year he was
register and then for the long term of
twenty-six years Judge of Probate-serv-
ing with credit to himself and satisfac-
tion to those coming before the court.
For the last few years Judge French has
enjoyed well earned leisure, spending
his summers principally at Saratoga and
winters in New York city. He had many
friends, particularly among our older
people, who will bear him in long and
pleasant remembrance.-Rep
