Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1890-07-28

The recital in the afternoon consisted OF
several choruses, songs and piano solos
in which several of our younger musi-
clans Mrs. Prime, Mrs. Shaw, Miss
Maud Murkland of Boston and Mr.. EN-
mons took part. The concert in the ev-
euing was well attended and greatly en-
loved by all present. DR.. and Mrs. Tenn
pletou of Glover rendered valuable assist
ance in the choruses, and Miss Maud
Murkland. now on visit from Boston,
favored the audience with songs and
duets. Miss Murkland has fine voice
and shows the benefit of good culture
and experience in rendering difficult mu-
SIC Mr.. Briggs received an encore on
his mandolin solo, and his singing was
good The piano solos by Mrs. Prime
and Miss Edie Dewey were very finely
rendered. We have neither time or space
to furthur particularize, but every part
was well done and reflected credit on
both our young and older musicians.
The success of the entertainments show
ed the skill and painstaking Of Mr.. En-
mons. Those who have had the benefit
of his training are emphatic in his praise

Timothy Dudley, one of the oldest cltl-
zens in this town. died on Friday last
and was buried yesterday. He was for
many years prominent in the business
affairs of the town and accumulated con-
siderable property.
People who have ridden over that pile
of stones and broken bridge near Alfred
Browns, are wondering what road COM
missioners are made for. By the way,
they say that the roads in Barton are
poorer than in any town in the county.
The Barton Landing Military Band will
give a grand vocal and instrumental con-
cert next Friday evening, assisted by
| Mrs. Geo. Newland of Newport and j.
w. Batchelder of Barton, also the Har-
mony Male quartette of this place, who
sing nicely and give general satisfaction
whenever they sing.
| LEvINUs N. CHANDLER.-Passed into
higher life, July %, 1890, aged sixty-five
years and eight months. He was born in
the town of Berlin, where most of his
early life was spent. He came to Barton
nearly thirty six years ago. After living
here about twelve years he went to Brown
ington where he remained but short
Deriod when he removed to Barton Land
ING where he has resided for the past
twenty-four years. His health has been
failing perceptibly since sometime last
winter, but the real disease did not mani
fest itself until June, when 1t was FOUND
that chronic Bright's Disease had fatal
hold upon him. During the past three
weeks he was delirious much of the time,
but had rational periods in which he rec
ogniZed and was delighted to see his
friends. No one could think more of his
home and friends than did this man. He
was an upright, honest, manly man ana
hence merited and held the highest respect
and esteem of his fellow citizens. His
pnblic spirit has been a large factor in
building up the various enterprises of the
town and village in which he lived. His
kindness of heart drew all to him and
drew from the kindly sentiments and
more generous purposes which ennoble
human character everywhere. He was a
great lover of eveu-handed justice, and
| so was an interested helper in the various
reforms of the day, especially in the cause
of Equal Rights for all regardless of sex.
In his departure this great cause loses an
earnest helper and a staunch defender.
Men and women fall out by the wayside
| but the cause moves on. In business Cir
cles and in the community he will be
greatly missed, but nowhere so deeply as
in his home which he loved so much and
to which he always welcomed his friends
with warmth of sincerity and whole
heartedness which made them feel at
home. He was thoughtful for others in q
yery high degree. The element of self
sacrifice was prominent in his daily life
Truly a good man has gone, but the eartf
has taken on a fairer look for his having
lived in 1t and human life is richer fol
his association with it. And so he will live
! in the hearts of multitudes whom he has
helped and blessed during his earth-life
His wife and son are left in loneliness
because of his departure from the earthly
house, but for them the future has nc
gloom. and so there is the truest comfort
in their sorrow in looking forward to {
blessed reunion beyond the shadows IL
/ the undimmed sunlight of the future
The heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community is with the afflicted friends
in their bereavement. May the Eterna
Love which encircles all things and mete'
: | out every experience of life, be their hell
and comfort In the days to come.
