Trinity's Church Sheds.

The church sheds at Trinity, con- plained of by Patrick Cannon and voted a nuisance by the board of health, last week Thursday night, were built on land bought of the estate of Andrew Gray, grandfather of c. F. Beardsley, and on land of Henry Baldwin, which he deeded, in 1859, to Charles Gray, administrator on his fathers estate. Philo Clarke and Henry Sanford, acting for Trinity, deed ed few hundred feet of land to Henry Baldwin in 1860, reserving the house and barn which then stood there, and the house was removed and put up in South Center for Abel F. Gillett, now owned by Mir Maloney, just south of John Hoyt's on Mile hill. The sheds con- plained of were built about 1860, except the two most northerly, which were built later, and it is said that Widow "Ned" Hawley, as she was called, entered pro test against shutting off her sunlight, but no attention was paid to her protest. Trinity parish granted permission to in- dividuals in the parish to build sheds, and those familiar with the situation agree that the parish. not individual owners, should be notified if nuisance exists. It is probable that the matter will be brought into the courts before settlement is effected. The sheds or dered removed are owned by Horace Northrop, Charles Skidmore, Hobart B. Camp, Lemuel F. Camp, J. B. Fairchild, R. A. Clark, who, no doubt, consider their right to the use of the sheds almost equal to their right to their homestead buildings. The other matter pertaining to property of Mrs David A. Judson and Catherine M. Jones on Gas street, Sandy Hook, was remedied, last week.

ISAAC E. BOOTH.

At the ripe age of 72, having served his native town in many positions of trust and honor, MT Booth died, Wednesday, 9th, a victim of grip, with pneumonia and other complications. Mir Booth had been in failing health for years, but was more than usually active just before his last sickness and rode to Orange to attend the wedding of his oldest grandchild, Mills Tomlinson, ,only the week before his sick ness, which lasted about 10 days. The funeral was from his late home in White Plains. Friday, Revs N. T. Merwin and W. F. White officiating. The casket bore simple and elegant wreath of ivy leaves. The burial was in Booth cemetery in White Plains, Orville Burton, Nelson Hubbell, Will French, Ezra Smith, Elmer Nichols, W. B. Coan bearers. Besides his wife, once Miss Eunice A. Morgan of Bridgeport, MT Booth leaves a son, Is- aac E., Jr, and daughter, Celeste, wife of George H. Temlinson of Oronoque. nearly 50 years. He was one of the four children of Lewis and Electa Booth, who owned the John Summers place. MT Booth leaves one brother, Samuel Booth of the Wooster house, Danbury. Early in life, MT Booth tried business life in New York and Newark. He settled down to farm life near the parental home and Mir Booth was excessively elected to various town offices, represented the town in the Legislature, served it as selectman besides serving as a grand juror for years. Though not cOmmuncant of any church, Mir Booth was a warm friend of Rev MT Merwin, who needed his parting injunction to attend his funeral. Many friends outside the circle of neighbors sympathize with the family in their loss and pay tribute to the memory of an es- teemed friend and citizen.
