Last week we had notice in regard to
the condition of Rev. 81. P. Cushing, and
while our paper was fresh from the press
he passed to the world beyond. The fol-
| lowing is a further notice in regard to
him:
'FRev.H. p. Gushing died at 25 minutes
of 8 on Tuesday afternoon, of pneumonia
after an illness of about three days. Mr.
Cushing was born in Burke in 1916 and
was educated at Newbury seminary. He
entered the ministry as a Methodist min
lister and preached in many towns in this
state including Mortified, Montpelier,
Barre, Bradford, Newbury, Barton, Chel-
sea, and st. Johnsbury. He was in the
latter place three years, being there when
the war broke out. For many years he
was the presiding elder of the st. Johns
bury district, being succeeded by Elder
| Granger. He was placed on the super
animated list about 10 years ago, when he
returned to the town of his nativity where
he has since resided. Though out of the
ministry he was too devoted to the cause
to lest from his labors, and he has often
supplied at Lyndonville and West Burke
since until within the last two years He
was prominent figure at the denomina-
tional gatherings in this section in which
he always took an active part. About two
years ago he experienced very severe
sickness and this was followed by paraly-
sis. He has been gradually failing since
and suffered considerably the last few
months from a paralysis of the throat.
He was conscious up to the time of his
death and one of his last sayings was,
