The sad, but not unexpected news OF the
death of Mr.. Lemuel Brown. who died at
Richmond, Friday morning, February 9TH.
aged 60 years, has been received by his
friends in this town. The loss which we
have sustained by his death cannot express
by simple words. He was born and passed
his boyhood years upon the farm, which
again for the last few years of his life, be-
came his home. While hardly more than a
boy he left the home of his childhood and be-
gan to work with willing hands (and the true
grit which so often characterizes the after
life of those, who are born on our bleak New
England hil,s) to win for himself success
full future. One of his first employers was
Mr.. Jefferson Haitian of Richmond. While
In his employ he became much attached to
Mr.. Hathan's daughter, to whom he was in
a few years married, and with whom he
passed many happy years of welded life 4;
Mrs. Brown passing away to her silent rest
only few months before her husband. AL
though prosperous while at Richmond Mr..
Brown deemed it best to change from Maine
to New York, where he formed business
connection, the firm of which he became a
partner being known as Brown 81 Benne.
This proved to be a very successful venture
He accumulated handsome property and as
he came to be advanced in years he ex-
perienced a longing for the home of his
youth. to which he came with his wife and
daughter, and here for brief time he en-
joyed quiet and peaceful rest after many
years, varied by the sunshine and shadow
which must, necessarily, be part of every
human life.

speaking of his public spirit while among us.
After making his own home pleasant and at

provement OF our town and though no mon

posed, and with willing hands helped on to
completion, and which were the outcomngs
