Mr.. +. Miner of Mont ana, is in town for q
short time tie guest of +. p. Mudgett; and
IN the meantime attending to the erection of
a massive and unique monument at the grave
of his former foreman, Charlie II. Mudgett,
who was drowned in his service June 20 1890
The monumental work was executed in a
workmanlike manner, by Il. j. Kellerher of
Montpelier. The foundation work was placed
under the supervisor of Zina Chase, ofcobble-
stone and cement in most thorough man.
ner. The monument is placed in new lot
adjoining the cemetery, which will be enclosed
with lands donated by his grandfather Jesse
Mudgett, and where the former generation
settled at an early day. Mr.. Miner can re-
main from his business but a brief time, it be-
ing the shipping season. and will leave in a
few days, taking in the New England States
for the first time, by trip through the White
Mountains to the sea coast, thence back to
his practical life of cattle man, with his en-
ployed cowboys" or herders The life of a
cattle herder is one ofadventure, heroism an
romance, and with great attractions and
fascination to young man ofcourage. Only
too many lose their lives in the reckless
riding. Charlie will be +, membeIed by many
as an active, social and wide-awake youth
and became perfectly at rest upon the treach
erous Chinook ponies in the far north
west. Many thanks are due Mr. Miner fol-
his kind consideration in restoring the body

OBITUARY.
FUNICE G. WHITE,


Mrs. Eunlce g. White who departed this life
Aug. % was born in Eden in 1915 and was a
daughter of Curtis Adams; her mother at the
advanced age of 90 years survives her. Al
though her early educational advantages
were limited to the common schools of her
native town she acquired by her industrious
and thoughtful habits a knowledge of many
subjects and was always cOnversant with the
topics of the day; but the pleasure she found
in study and the gratifying companionship of
her tavOrite authors never led her to neglect
the many duties which make demands upon
the attention and handicraft of the laboring
woman. In 1890 she married Charles White
and their union, covering a period of more
than fifty years. was an exceptionally happy
one. Her husband being of an intellectual
and progressive turn of mind found in hernot
only an intellectual companion but loving
wife and practical heipmate. Five children
came one by one to increase their welded hap
plness, Jour survive their parents and their
exemplary lives testify to the efficient disci-
pline and example of their most worthy par
ents. Seldom are children so blessed with so
considerate and self sacrificing a mother but
her steadfast devotion to home and kindred
suffered her not to forget that others have
claims upon US. She found happiness in adj
ding to human joy and overcame her own
sorrows IN lessening others pain and tighten
ing their burdens. Who can estimate the re-
suit of such lite? Grateful indeed ought all
who have been blessed by her love to be for
the precious memories which her name must
always recall. Missed she will long be in the
sphere of life in which she so nObly but unpre-
tentiously moved. Most sincerely will her
children, relatives and numerous friends
mourn her loss. May they find comfort in
the thought THAT life is ever lord of death
and love can never lose its own"
