For many years William 7. Whitney
lived in the vicinity OF this village. When
the news of his death came to us we were
greatly surprised. For few years past he
lived in Nashua, N. H., and he died there
Oct. 81, 1898. The cause of his death was
apoplexy. His age was 6S years. He was
born in Tunbridge and was member OF
large family which are nearly all gone. He
was a brother of Mrs. William Bliss OF
Royalton. He married Jane, the daugh liter
sister of Mrs. DfiConn OF lebeorf, n. H.
They were the AI,&rents of1sxA children,
OF whom five are still living-two daugh-
tiers and three sons. One daughter died in
1853.
Some time before his death he passed
thro' a severe sickness. He then made all
about his funeral, request
ing that Rev. s. A. Parker should preach
the sermon, that the services should be
held in the Universalist church at East |
Randolph, that the Osgood brothers, his
old neighbors. should act as bearers and
that his body be laid beside the little child
he gave up with so many tears. His re-
quests were all sscredlyicarried out by mis-
family.
Seldom we see so many and choice flow
ers on and around a casket, as we saw that
day. He was a devoted husband, a kind
father and true friend. He inherited the
faith OF his father and nother-a faith |
that has been his staff and support thro' !
the Journey of life. He was always ready |
to lend helping hand to fellow travel /
er.
On Wednesday evening, before his death !
a stranger cameto his house, asking that
he would accompany the person through |
the long bridge into the town, where the |
stranger resided. 1t was on his return |
be fell by the roadside and was not found |
ill the next day. He never became fully |
conscious. This was the browning deed |
Of life full of such quiet and kind acts.
