 -Rollin c. Lathrop, well-known resi- dent of Holland, died recently at his home near Babcock bridge. He was the son of Rev. Rowland Lathrop, the famous Meth. odist preacher. Of him the Holland His- tory says: Rowland Lathrop possessed more than ordinary abilitles. When young he passed for what in those days was call ed a wild young man, but his wildness @ lded with youth and he early became a vdry steady man and most exemplary christian. He was member of the Meth. odist denomination, and was a local preach. CT. His public performances were credit. able for fervency, csndor and sincerity. He had a good knowledge of human na ture, and had shrewdness peculiar to topic. Mir. Lathrop was proverbial fol integrity and uprightness in all his deal. ings, and constant and true in his friend ships. He was highly esteemed by his acquaintance, and never. seemed to be more happy than when doing them some good. He was twice elected to the gen eral assembly, but never appeared to be over anxious for political preferment. The influence of his example was most salu tary, and recollection of his gentleness and simplicity will cause his memory tc be long respected" The only son remain. ing is T. 0. Lathrop of Stafford Springs.
