MRS HARRIET CRAMER.

Live in Ansonia. Have lived there l9 years Am daughter of Mrs Bronson. Since Fall of 1888 have been home once q month or oftener; stayed usually two or three days, perhaps sometimes week. My mother had general care of Elons business and health and did anything he asked her to do. He was always calling upon her to do his business for him and to write his letters. He was always ask ing my mother to wait upon him in sea- son and out of season. Remember the last family dinner we had at home. He did not even let us have the time to our selves, but would insist on taking my mothers time from us to write letters for him. During Elon's last sickness, moth- CT took the same care of him that she would have done for my father, if he had been sick. It was hard to give him med- icine. He was very heavy man and he had to be raised up by his shoulders to give him the medicine. He was very helpless in bed. The Winter of 1888 and 1889, he was very helpless indeed, espec- ially after he had the attack we called the grip. Mother always put on his shoes for him and tied them. She was the on- ly one who ever did help about that. He was so lame with rheumatism in hls hip that he could not bend over to put on his shoes or to tie them after they were on. He almost always wore shoes. He was 8
 very large man, the largest man, think, I ever saw. Have seen mother mend for
 him and wash his clothes. It was disa-
 greeable work to do and she used to have
 extra washngs for him. I was at home
 two or three days when Elon had the
 grip. He came down from his room and
 was crying. He said he had something about him he thought was going to carry him of. Inever saw mother write letters but I know she did write them. l have
 seen mother figuring interest for him. know she was doing that, for she saic
 she was and I believed her. l was there
 in his last sickness. He was in the par . Tor on the ground floor. Mother tool
 care of him while I was there. Eugene Bulkley may have been there some o1 . the time was there. My sister and my self sat up with Elon, Monday night Mother had no extra help during Elon': , sickness, except the help Eugene Bulk ly gave. He did not go out of the par Tor, after he went into it on the Sunday he was taken sick.

DAVID W. BRONSON.

came to Newtown, April l, 1886, from Oxford. The arrangement in regard to the amount Elon was to pay for his board and time for payment was made with my wife. had nothing to do with it. I was not personally acquainted with Elon until 1885. When he commenced to board with us, his general health was good, except his rheumatism and he worked at jobs when he could get them. His rheumatic troubles became greater as time went by until the time of his death. His ability to provide for his own comforts decreased, as his infirmities in- creased and he wanted more and more waiting upon. He was very cxacting. When he wanted thing, he wanted it then. He was rather irritable and rough and would not spare any ones feelings, man or woman either. He had no troub- le, for we had perfect understanding when he first came there. I told him l did not want him to do chores for me, as chose to do them myself and, when he did any work for me, l always paid him and he was always ready to take the money. My wife always did his wash ing for him. Cannot tell precisely when my wife commenced to do business for him, but think it was in 1888 and she con- tinued until his death. He never told me anything about his business, but know my wife did his business for him from the fact that saw them doing it and some times heard their conversation. From December, 1889, to March, 1890, my wife had the whole care and responsibility of him and the last week of his life, he was very sick man. never knew him to use profane language in my wife's pres ence but once, but among men and boys he was profane and not very choice of the language he used. I was not un- friendly to Elon at all and there was no reason why should be. I used to ask him to ride out with me, but l soon got tired Of it. We had an understanding when Elon came into my family. l told
