Aliphal Briggs, wife of Daniel Wait,
departed earth life at her home in Stowe
on June 10Th. She was born at Barnard,
VT. Oct. 9th 1872; married June 10Th,
1888. Soon after her marriage she came
to Stowe. where she has since resided.
The best that can be said of any one may
truly be said of her; that she lived life
of usefulness and unselfish devotion to
her family and friends. She leaves a
husband, four daughters, two sons, two
brothers and two sisters, besides large
number of friends. all of whom are COM
forted. even in their affection. by the
hope which points to an immortal life of
progress and happiness.
The death of r. c. Hodge, after long
and painful illness, occurred on Friday
morning. Mr.. Hodge had lived con-
sistent Christian and useful life, was up
right and honorable beyond the question
of any one. A worthy man, loved and
respected by his family and his towns
people has gone and left a vacancy in
business affairs, both public and private.
He has held many positions of trust and
always performed them with exemplary
fidelity. What more can be said of any
one? The funeral services were attended
at the residence on Saturday at p. M:
Rev. Mr.. Douglass officiating. The
children were all present, we believe,
excepting his son George, who is too far
west to come here.
