Peter M Nash

After almost reaching the age of 76, Peter Micajah Nash laid down the bur dens of life, Monday evening. dying soon after these words had left his lips, s'Iord, now lettest thou thy servant depart i'll peace" MT Nash was one of Newtownss life long residents and was known throughout and beyond the town as an excellent painter. Strictly upright and honorable in his dealings, he was, during his entire life, d hard and conscientious worker and few could excel him in qual- ity or quantity of labor performed in q day. About six years ago, while paint ing the gable end of his barn, he fell and received injuries from which he never re- covered. But he kept about, crippled as he was. MT Nash had suffered with par aIvtic shocks and it was the third and more severe which caused his death. He leaves wife and one son, William Adel- bert Nash. The, funeral was on Thurs day at P m, at Trinity church, Rev c. M. Wilkins officiating; interment in the village cemetery. ..~

Since the death of his wife, several years ago, John Hayes has made his nome on Chestnut Tree hill, his wife's sister, Mrs Nora Connolly, acting as housekeeper. A short time ago, alter some domestic infelicity, he left town suddenly, going, it is said, directly to Naugatuck, where he secured employ ment as hostler in Buss' livery stable. Saturday, he was seen in the Hook, quite intoxicated, with an open buggy and gray horse belonging to his employer. lie was in Zoar, Sunday. Monday he re- turned to work, but had groomed only a few horses when, in fit of despondency he cut his throat with razor. He was taken to the hospital at New Haven, where 1t was discovered that he had pre- viously taken rat poison. Emetics were hastily administered, but he died soon afterward. As the Catholic church re- fuses burial in consecrated ground to all who commit suicide, his body could not be brought to Newtown for interment in St. Rose cemetery, beside his wife and the burial was doubtless in the hospital grounds in New Haven. Hayes was about 8 years old and leaves three child. ren, q boy and two girls. His father was killed many years ago by being thrown from his wagon near the Housatonic de pot.

A fine, penetrating rain, accompanied by high wind, as was Tuesdays storm, has proved conclusively that the water which continues to flood Trinity church does not enter by the minarets and other means to stop the lcak must be rcsorted to. All efforts to find the leak have prov ed unavailing and it seems as if the rain must drive through the stone itself, for only when a high wind accompanies the rain does the trouble manifest itself.

a Backwoods Family.

Thomas Lincoln, father Of the liber-
ator, moved many times, and was gem
orally poorer'after eachremove. On the
eth of October 1918, his first wife, the
mother of Abraham Lincoln, died at
their new home in Spencer county, ins
diana. Sixty years later her grave was
still unmarked, and the people only
knew its location because it had been re-
corded as in the center of a square
formed by four large trees in what was
still a native forest. In 1879 MLS. P. e.
Studebaker, of South Bend, Ind&1Af#aused
a small. handsome monument, with d
suitable inscription, to be placed over 1t.
Late in 1918, Thomas Lincoln married a
widow. Sarah Bush Johnston, who. by
all accounts RECONSTRUCTED the family
Her son and twp daughters. with
Abraham and his sister Sarah, consti.
tuted the little family, to which was
afterwards added Lincoln's cousins, John
and Deanis Hanks.
; The stepmother was a mother indeed
to the future president, and he never
ceased to love and revere her. She out
lived her famous stepson and died at an
advanced age. Thomas Lincoln died in
1851, ct the age of 10, and his grave, near
Farmiagton, Ills, remained unmarked
till his grandson, Hon. Robert T. Lincoln,
placed an appropriate stone over it. The
life of the boy Abe Lincoln in Indiana
and the man in Illinois, did not differ
materially from that of#other pioneers
except in his great love Of reading and
earnestness of inquiry into everything

Considering the present greatness of
Illinois, and TIE wonderful galaxy of
great men she has furnished the nation
since 1860, The young readercan scarcely
conceive the comparative o%bscurity OF
the state when&Abrailam Lincoln first
became nationally prominent. Indeed,
1860 was the first year in which the
northwest determinedly asserted itself in
political conventions as the dominating
power. Though Stephen A Douglas had
been the leader of the northern Democ-
racy since 1866, eve his prominence was
matter of ridicule, and the persistence of
his friends at Charleston and Baltimore
was pronounced offensive by some eastern
and southern men, How much more the
prominence given to Abraham Lincoln,
who only began to be known nationally
in 1858.
The political satires and ~caricatures of
1860 abound in illusions to the rail
splitter" the Sucker" the frontier vii
iage lawyer, etc. One who then studied
American life in the illustrated papers
might have, concluded that the average
Illinois OF Indiana man put in one-third
of his time shaking with the ague, and q
good deal of the other two-thirds in swal-
lowing qumine and whisky to ward 1t
off. The following are ~caricatures from

LINCOLN and Col. Baker.

A member of the Lincoln family for a
time, in 1861, says thattthough the presi-
otter, ggrieped deeply and silently
for the lives sacrificed in the war, he
wept aloud but once, and that was for
the death of Col. F. d. Baker at BALI
Bluff. There We're many reasons for
this. They had been associates at the
bar in Illinois and warm friends, though
political rivals; and when Baker, WHO
had beaten Lincoln for the nomination
and been elected to. congress, resigned
his seat to go to tire Mexican war, it
reused all the admiring enthusiasm of
Lincoln's nature. Col. Baker came back
from Mexico with dispatches before re-
signing his seat, and made o speech in
congress defining the true position of the
Wings. Every step of his subsequent
chivalrous career increased Lincoln's
affection for him, and he gave it as his
opinion that no other mar in Illinois had
such various talents and SO much of the
national orator as Edward Dickinson
Baker.
