W. H. FAIRCHILD.

Entered into the rest of Paradise on Sunday morning, March IF, 1889, MT William H. Fairchild, aged 20 years and six months. Kind and gentle in dispo- sition, attached to the home of his child hood, beloved by parents, devoted to his wife and children, respected by his neighbors and friends, he is called, just at time when he seemed to be the most needed, to lay down Life's burdens, to leave his family and pass from things temporal to things eternal. Consump- tion, that flattering disease, claimed him for it's victim. As last resort, trip was taken to California in July, in hopes that in the balmy, bracing air of the Pacific coast might be found a cure. Kind friends were raised up there for him and all was done that could be done, in hopes that at least partial cure could be effected. For time, it seemed encouraging, but hopes long cherished were crushed and, five weeks ago, he started on his long, lonely journey east ward, that he might die, if die he must, in his childhood's home and in the bosom of his little family. He was wonderfully upheld and sustained in that long journey and his heart was gladdened beyond all expression, when he crossed the threshold of his home. The four weeks that were left for him were weeks of comfort, in that he could be with his wife and children. His l ool ;, prime, he rests from his labors. A de- voted wife and three little childred (two of them too young to ever remember a fathers love) are left to bear Life's bur dens and work out Life's great problems. May He, who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb and who has promised to be the widows God, ever keep underneath them His everlasting arms. %** The funeral was held on Wednesday at ? p m from the Congregational church. A cold northeast snow storm set in at noon and ragged all the after noon, but large company assembled. Rev Mir HOyt spoke from the text se- lected by Mir Fairchild himself, ''And there shall be no more sorrow, nor cry ing, neither shall there be any more pain." A select quartet composed ot Mir Frank Hawley, Mrs E. F. Hawley. Miss Tanie Sanford and Mrs c. s. Platt with Prof Platt at the organ, chanted the Episcopal burial chant and rendered very acceptably, "Jesus, lover of my soul, 7" "God be with you till we meet again." The floral offerings were ele- gant and beautiful. Especially conspic
 uous was crescent with the worC "brother,' from his sister, Mrs Stahl The pail bearers were four cousins. Messrs c. B., ". C., L. M, F. F. John son.
