A Mysteri Gus Disappearance at Last Ac-
counted For.
HAMBURG, Conn, Oct. 2o.-William
Hart and George Hunt, two young men,
while hunting in Otter swamp Saturday,
made a CHASTITY find which solves the mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
Myron Nolan, of this place, thir-
teen months ago. A year ago in Septem-
Der Nolan went into the woods for the
purpose of gathering hazel nuts, and from
that time until Saturday nothing was
heard or seen of him. For several days
searching parties secured the woods,
where was supposed to be, but no trace of
him could be found, and public opinion
was about equally divided as to whether
he had killed himself or deserted his
family.
Was Scratching at a Human Skull.
Otter swamp is vast stretch of lowland
that is not very frequently visited, and
many portions of it are not crossed as
often as once in a year. Saturday after
noon Hart and Hunt were called into a
dismal part of the swamp by the barking
of their dogs which they supposed to be
on the trail of mink. When they came
up the animals were at the foot of tree
scratching at human skull. The hunt
ers could not find the other parts of the
skeleton. Leaning against a rock near
by they found a gun. much rusted and
with rotting stock.
A Skeleton Up a Tree.
While searching about the tree one of
the men looked up into the branches and
saw portions of skeleton hanging from
between the trunk of the tree and large
limb that grew up from it and very close
ly to it. Among the rib bones of the
skeleton the squirrels had built nest.
Hunt went up and dislodsed the skeleton,
and with the gun and gamebag it was
brought to town, where the two latter
were easily recognized as Nolan's
Probable Cause of His Death.
How Nolan came to his death there is
no way of proving, but it is supposed that
ne climbed the tree to examine squirrels
nest that he had shot into and losing his
foothold had fallen in such a way as to
strike in the crotch of the tree, from
which position he was unable to extricate
himself even if he had the strength after
falling. In this position he must have
died from hunger or thirst or possibly
from his injuries. Both charges had been
fred from his gun.

Funeral Of Mrs, T. A, March.

Last weeks Gazette referred to the
news from Mrs. Thos. A. March, of
this place, as being very hopeful. Yet
at about the time the Gazette went to
press telegram was received by Mr..
March informing him that his wife
had been taken worse and could not
recover. The end came on Thursday
evening.
The funeral on Sunday afternoon
following testified to the general feel
ing of sorrow in this community. The
service was held at the M. E. church,
which was crowded with friends of the
family. The ladies who so lately asso-
ciated with the deceased in church
and social matters gave expression to
their tender remembrance of her with
a profusion of choice flowers, with
which the casket was almost entirely
covered, at the conclusion of the SER
mon. Rev. Williams chose his text
from the sermon on the mount,
BLESSED are they that mourn,for they
shall he comforted." His reference to
the characteristics of cheerfulness and
loyalty for which Mrs. March will be
remembered, was peculiarly appropri-
ate. The speaker thought that such
bright spirits were not only happier
on earth, but would be capable of
greater happiness in the world beyond
the grave.
Mrs. Lottie March was native of
Vermont, and was in her fiftieth year.
Her bereaved husband and daughter
have only greater share in common
loss to the whole community, since
Mrs. March was an untiring, unselfsh
worker in church circles and minis
tering helper to the sick and discour-
aged in her neighborhood. The trib-
ute paid at her funeral, that the world
was better and brighter for her having
lived in it was in accordance with the
testimony of all who we're privileged
to know her.
Thos. A. March and daughter wish
to express their sincere thanks to
many friends and neighbors for the
kindness rendered during their late
afH ctiOn.
