Death by Drowning.

The community was shocked Tuesday
morning to hear that the body of Lucius
Lyman, who had lived in or near this place
nearly all his life, had been found in w.
X. Lyman's mill pond, and had been
brought to his home in the village As
his friends look back over the past few
days there seems to be many indications
that he was meditating the deed. The
breaking up of his home by the death of
the last member of his immediate family a
little more than year ago left him very
lonely. He has boarded most of the time
since at G. IL. Ryder's, occupying his own
house near by. Lately his health had been
failing and the ninth of the month he got
Mr.. Ryder to carry him to w. r. Lyman's
where they thought he was rather improv-
ing. Monday evening he sat up later than
usual and seemed cheerful, but Tuesday,
when called for breakfast, he was missing.
Not much alarm was felt, but search was
made and his coat and vest were found on
the bridge and the body near by, upright,
in the water with head bent forward.
Some time in the night he had arisen and
gone softly ont in his stocking feet, carry
ing his shoes short distance and then
putting them on. Words fail to express
the sorrow of his friends. The funeral
was held at the church Wednesday, Rev.
A. j. Martin of Wardsboro officiating.
