Not the least useful and influential
member of the House was Col. X. ..
Kimball, who represented the town OF
Randolph. He is business man, and
is in position to know something a.
bout finance, and he filed positions on
committees where his knowledge could
be put to good use. Though not a
speech-maker he could say what he
had tolsay in pleasant,apt and accept
able manner. His work was OF that
kind that shows the work more than
the worker. He did not fail to secure
for his constituents whatever he asked
for them, and on this account, if for no
other reason, we do not see why they
should not be very well satisfied with
their representative Northfeld News.

Rev. Aurelius Stephen Swift died in W.
Randolph, Vt, Dec. 5, 1890, aged So years,
9 mos. and n days, having been born Feb.
9th, 1908 in Fairlee, Vt. He studied at the
Academy in Bradford, graduated at Ban
gor Theological Seminary in 1887, married
Miss Mary H. Perkins Of Lyme, n. H., the
26th of June 1888, who died Nov. 5, 1888 at
West Randolph, Vt. After graduating at
Bangor Mr.. Swift labored as Home Mis-
sionary in Maine about two years. He
then became pastor OF the church at Croy-
don, n. II. The following places consti-
tuted his fields OF labor, and approximate
~ the periods of labor: Croydon, n. H.,
3s AS; Peru, VT, as '49; Plainfeld, VT,
1885, Hubbardston, Vt, '53-'55; Brook
field VT, '55 81; Pittsfield, 81 go. His
health falling he removed about 1860 to
farm in Stoekbridge, VT, where he lived
until 1882 when he removed to West Ran
dolph where he remained until his death.
He left four children, two sons and two
daughters-one son in Iowa and one in
Michigan. daughter in California and
one who has cared for him in his old age.
Mr.. Swift was not a strong and healthy
man, and his work in the ministry was inn
peded by long periods of sickness. More
than once he seemed to come close to the
borders Of the grave, but was restored for
further labor. He bore his sufferings with
no complainings. The years of his minis
try were mostly with former generation.
Very few among whom he passed his
closing years had ever heard him preach,
but all could bear testimony to his quiet,
orderly, faithful and devout Christian life.
