 The sudden demise of David H. Sher- wood of Mill hill, Monday morning, was startling to his many friends. He had been sick only little over week with pneumonia, although he died of heart failure, due, as the doctor says, to his low vitality, caused, as he thought, by the grip, which Mir Sherwood had along in January. He was born and had lived, as had his father before him, on the hill. MT Sherwood was 62 years and nine months of age and had been twice married. His first wife was Miss Beardsley of New York State, by whom he had two children, Mary, now wife of A. B. Huntington of Springfield, Mass. and Miss Alice H., who was living at home. His second wife was Miss Mary Nichols of Mill Plain, who survives him. He was man we'll known in this vicin- ity as an industrious and skillful farmer, of a social and attractive manner and possessing bright, humorous wit. He was liked by all who knew him. As an administrator and trustee, his services were always in demand because of his good judgment and uprightness of char acter. He was senior warden of St. PauIs Episcopal church and had for years been one of it's most active mem- bers. The funeral services were held, Thursday afternoon at 3.

 St. Paul's voiced it's tribute to MT Sherwood's memory in these words: Mir Sherwood was identified with this parish from it's formation and was the last sur viving member of the parish who was one of its original founders. He always manifested a kindly interest in all things that concerned it's welfare. For per iOd of nearly 40 years, he was a regular attendant upon it's services. He was an exemplary communicant and in his life a consistent Christian. In the community in which he lived, he held in a high de- gree the confidence and esteem of his neighbors and it's citizens. His name will be long remembered as that of "a good man, full of the Holy Ghost and ,,I OPc e.;
