SIMON NJ SHATTI-cK

DIED.-At Eden, on the 18th. day of Janua-
ry, 1892, Simon Montague Shattuck
The going out from among us of this one,
whom We called young man, seems to de-
serve something more than a casual notice.
;. NJ. Shattuck was born in the town of Bel
videre on the 21st day of May, 1852, being
the youngest child of Randall Shattuck. He
came to Eden February 18th, 1860, with his
The Luke Carpenter farm, Where they have
since lived. On the 18th day of April, 1878,
Simon was married to Miss Nettie Harring-
ton and went to Lyndonville to live; but
soon after returned to Eden with his young
wife and moved in with his father and moth
err to care for them in their declining years
and right faithfully and patiently did he per-
form the loving task he had set for him
self just as long as life remained" never
having been away from home but five months
in his life. so his aged father tells us. His
death seems peculiarly sad. Truly, " His
work was not done" His father and mother
feeling that they were near the last milestone
on the home Journey and leaning heavily
on their youngest born. The wife with three
young children to care for and comfort, when
her own beTeaVed heart was almost broken
all dependent on him who was called home by
the ruthless reaper-it is no wonder that 1t
seemed almost futile to try to console those
to sadly afflicted Simon had held several
positions of trust in his neighborhood and In
town, and was noted for his strict integrity
and fidelity to his trust and to his friends,
and for his quiet and unassuming manners,
never making any buster or seeking notorie-
ty. Those who were most intimate with him
knew him to be a good son, patient and ten
der, a kind and loving husband, and an in
dulgent father. Publicly he was univer-
sally respected as the large gathering at his
late home on the day of the funeral testlhes
1t can be truthfully said of him, &c He hath
done what he could" n. H, F.

Many times during my stay in Cuba have I

the Continent. The forests would be opened and
the area of care under cultivation enormously
increased Great refining works would be built

sugar but tobacco would find liz way 10 the
