Nathaniel F. K. ElWood.

Th5 death of MT Elwood at the poor house, October 20, strikes one as pecul- iarly sad. After rearing a family of children and feeling the decrepitude of age Che was S6 years and 19 days old), it seems that he was partially supported by
 charity of late and was cared for by the town authorities, who also bore portion of the funeral expenses, during his last few days. Three sons and a married daughter survive, but none of them are Newtown citizens. Mir Elwood was bur jed in the Zoar yard, Monday, October P. Since the death of MT Elwood, the married daughter, Mrs DIV. Snyder, has taken her mother into her own home. Mir Elwood and his wife were among our oldest residents. They had lived to- gether for 65 years and there was only five months difference in their ages. They shared each others joys and sorrows. His only prayer was that he might take the companion of his youth to the mys- terious Beyond and hers that she might be spared to lay him away in peace, which was answered to her. "Rest in peace,:
