BY the death of Mrs. Julia Lyman last
week another old resident went out from
us who has been for about half century
identified with the interests of the town i'm
many ways. Mrs. Lyman was native of
Brattleboro, one of the children of Cyrus
Chamberlain. -Four of the family are liv-
ing-Mrs. NJ. S. Chamberlain, now resi-
dent here, and three brothers widely sep
arated in Michigan, Montana and New Or
leans. Mrs. Lyman first married George
Arnold, and lived for years upon the farm
adjoining that of Gen Kimball on the hill.
In war times she married J. A. Lyman
of Dover, and they built for themselves a
new house on a farm two miles from the
village. In those days Mrs. Lyman was
conspicuously a patriotic woman. After
Mr.. Lyman death she came to this village
to live. She had positive characteristics
of mind, with strong likes and dislikes
When her interests were excited she was a
generous woman. She had a good degree
of public spirit and could be depended on
generally to help in matters accounted ad-
visable. Two children were taken into
her farm home and given motherly train
ing; they are Mrs, Rose Severance of Bos-
ton, and William Lyman Of Burlington,
and they were present. at her funeral.
Mrs. Lyman had long been a member of
the Congregational church and was one of
the first members of the Woman Christian
Temperance union. She died upon her
18th birthday of heart disease, which mani
tested itself last winter.

Military Lots.

Judge X. Is. Is. Chew, OF Upper
Marlboro, Prince Georges county,
has been here for several days look
ing after some land which he claims
near Bittinger, in this county.
There are doubtless many people,
even in Maryland, who do not know
that very large portion of Garrett
county land is taken up i'll "mili-
tary lots" About the year 1888
the Legislature of Maryland pro-
vided for laying out 4,165 lots of
fifty acres each, which were awarded
to the Maryland soldiers who had
fought in the revolutionary war.
These lots were surveyed and laid
out in the extreme western portion
of Maryland, and they are nearly
all in what is now Garrett county.
At the time the award was made
there were very few inhabitants in
this section, and, in fact. civillza-
ton had hardly reached The glades.
Under these circumstances the mill
tary lots were not considered valua-
BILE, and in many instances the SOL
dier-owner paid no attention to his
acquisition whatever. AS the pop
ulation increased the land became
more VARIABLE, and that which the
colder regarded as worthless at
tracted the attention of his de-
scendants. In some cases soldiers
died without heirs and their lots be-
came escbeats to the State, and
were subsequently granted to others
who laid escheat warrants upon
them. Squatters took possession
of many lots, built upon and othe.'-
wise improved them, and are hold
ing them by possession. 1t fire.
quently happens at this day when
the heir OF the old soldier comes
along in search of his property he
finds somebody living upon 1t who
is claiming it as his own. This
state of affairs has given rise to
g.eat deal of expensive litigation
and is likely to make trouble for
years to come.
Judge Chew as the direct de-
scendant of one of the revolution
arv soldiers claims four lots, two
/ inbred acres, and beyond doubt
has perfect paper title to it. This
land, however. has been cleared and
occupied by different persons for
half a century or more. The vii
lage of Bittinger, with the neighbor-
hood postoflice and store is located
upon it. Judge Chew has had his
land surveyed by the county sur
veYor. and will. it is said, take
steps to recover it. A considerable
amount of excitement has been
stirred up among the oceupiers of
the land, who never dreamed that
they could be disturbed in their
possession of this property. This
is on Y one of numerous cases which
have occurred, and a sample of what
may occur at any time in almost
any neighborhood i'll the county.
