WOODWORK.

On Tuesday April IA the people
aof the Bristol and Paris Congrega-
ra;onal church gathered to pay the
last respects to all that was mortal
of James Gray. Mr. Gray had been
liz falling health for a considerable
time, bus hrs death Which occurred
Sunday mo~ning April resulted
from heart failure induced by La
Grippe. He was born near Paisley,
Scotland, Ju3y 10, 1915. On Dec.
10, 1885 he married Miss Annie
wilson Holmes and on June p 1870
he came to New York with his wife
and two children. He remained in
the State of n. Y. six years but be-
ing ambitious 10 secure home Of
his own he came with his family to
Kenosha, Co. Wis in Sept Of 1876,
and settled in the town Of Paris,
where he lived 20 years, removing
in Jan. 1866 to the present family
homestead in Bristol. On Jan. "a,
1850 the wife who has been his com
Qanion and time help mate for s.
years passed away and was laid be-
side their boy in the shadow of the
church. Mr., Gray was a typical
Scotchman, cautious, shreWd and
thrifty, a faithful friend, a kind
neighbor and a good citizen, but no
place on earth had such charms for
him as his own Preside, and no soci-
ETY. was so pleasant to him as that
found in the bosom Of his own fam
lily. D, NJ, OGILVIE.
