TRUMBULL.
[ desire to express through your paper
my hearty and earnest appreciation of
the kindness and sympathy of neighbors
and friends, shown me in my trials and
the loss of my husband Mrs Daniel
Edwards.
The past year has been somewhat re-
markable because of the loss of SO many
of our aged and much esteemed residents.
Conspicuous among them are the names
of Mr. and Mrs Birdsey B. Plumb, Isaac
E. Booth, Charles N. Fairchild. TO
these must be added with much regret
the names of Daniel Edwards of Chest
nut Hill and Samuel G. Beardsley of
Long Hill.
Daniel Edwards died at his home,
Thursday, 10th, after several weeks of
severe suffering. While picking apples
away from his home, he fell from lad
der and sustained severe injuries, which,
combined with other difficulties, caused
his death. For 20 years, Mr. Edwards
has lived on the old homestead plain,
honest, retired life. He sought no posi-
ton. He was satisfied with his home life
and duties and was faithful to them all.
Although believer and a regular at
tendant of the Congregational church of
Trumbull, he never united with any
church. His funeral was held, Sunday
at p N, from his late residence. Inter-
ment at Long Hill cemetery.
Samuel G. Beardsley died suddenly at
his home in Long Hill, Saturday, Dist.
Although not feeling we'll, he was not
considered in any immediate danger,
when the unwelcome messenger came.
The announcement of his death was a
shock to every one. In the death of Mr.
Beardsley, aside from the great loss 10
personal friends and relatives, the town
sustains a loss. Admirably fitted with a
liberal education and a knowledge of law,
he has filled most acceptably nearly all
the town offices and has represented his
district in the Legislature. For 80 years,
he has held the office of town clerk. His
loss will be greatly felt in the church of
which he was a devoted member and
faithful attendant. His wife, two daugh-
tiers and one son, Judge Beardsley of
Bridgeport, survive him. His funeral
took place at his late residence at Long
Hill, Monday at 2 p m. Although stormy,
the house was filled with acqaintances
and friends from far and near. Rev w.
F. White and his former pastor, Rev N.
T. Merwin, officiated. Interment in the
family lot at Long Hill.
A Christian Endeavor society of Is
members was organized at Chestnut Hill,
Thursday evening. The following Off
GERS were elected: Vice president, Sam
uel Beach, Jr; assistant, Mrs Hattie A.
Candee; secretary, Mrs M. L. Haines
treasurer, Mrs Fannie w. French. Until
further notice, the meetings at Chestnut
Hill will be held on Wednesday instead
of Thursday evenings.
The new bridge over the Pequonnock
is nearly completed.
Rev w. F. White and family have gone
to Ware, Mass, for few days.
Rev K. FL. Kazanjian, native Turk,
now a student in Yale seminary, will
preach, Sunday morning, in the Congre-
gational church. In the evening, he will
give his ILLUSTRATED Lecture ON Mis-
sions." The latter promises to be espec-
tally interesting and deserves large au-
dience. Mr. Kazanjian has family in his
native country dependent upon him for
support, while at the same time he pur-
sues his seminary course with little aid.
In consideration of his services and need,
collection will be taken at the close of
the evening service.
