Mr., Foster, OF Fostoria, has had n
brilliant public career. Ito was n

He was IN enthusiastic supporter OF
it. lIe was subsequently Informed by
John Sherman that his yieRs were
entirely wrong, when 10 became n
gol1bug. lie vas elected Governor
OF Ohio because he was supposed 10
bs n millionaire. Perhaps au notion

Walter M. Haynes, of Brimfield, died Tuesday evening at the great age of 1O3 years. His long pilgrimage is peacefully ended, and he will be laid to rest this af- ternoon in the cemetery of the quiet town where he has lived so many years. MT. Haynes was born in Monson, near Ever green Park, in Stafford, in the year 1789. He recently said that his boyhood days seemed but little time ago, showing that even such long life as his seems short. He went to Brimfeld with his parents when eighteen months old, and in that town he passed the early part of his life. When 8 young man he went to Swanzey, N. H., afterward to Volney, N. Y., where he worked as carpenter. Later he went to Syracuse, and had charge of building one of the finest business blocks in that thriving city. At the age of fifty-five he returned to Brimfield, and has lived there since, a period of forty eight years. MT. Haynes had "a fall 8 few weeks ago, which is thought to have hastened his death. Besides his widow, he leaves two daughters, Orpha and Louisa. who reside in New York state, and 8 son. Daniel, who resides in Brim- field
