The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-10-03

mans body was needed to stop it entirely
Unquestionably death was the result of
carelessness, not unlike an attempt to cross
a railway track in front of a moving train,
and neither the proprietor nor the meChan-
ism is faultworthy in the remotest degree.
Announcement Of his fate was Immediately
teegraphed to relatives in New York and
Canada and a sister from Knowlton, =. O.,
came on to superintend the preparations for
the funeral. A brother in New York was
unable to come, and another in Waterloo,
Ontario, received the word too late to per-
nit of his arrival in Montpelier in season
for the burial, which occurred Monday
morning, Rev w. j. O'Sullivan officiating.
The deceased was born in Canada some
fifty-six years ago, but had lived in Montpe-
lier most of the time for about twenty-siX
years. He served the proprietor of the old
Pavilion for time as porter, and Of late
years he had been given the night work.
He was ever an efficient and popular en-
ploye. Order and neatness were his especial
delight, and he was constantly seeking to
add to the attractive appearance of the ho-
tel parlors and public rooms. He was
greatly liked by the customers of the house
and will be sadly missed, especially dur
ing the session of the general assembly. At
his funeral appropriate floral designs and
general attendance of the hotel employees
testified to the esteem in which he was held
and the sorrow occasioned by his decease.
