Cured at 10 clock Wednesday morning,
after an illness of only few days, was a
shock to the Halifax community, and is
esteemed by all public loss. Mr.. Adams
whole active life had been spent here, and
here his family had grown up. He was a
successful farmer and one of the most
prominent, active and substantial of our
citizens, universally trusted and respected,
He had held nearly every town office, had
represented the town in the legislature,
and at the last March meeting was chosen
road commissioner under the new law.
The death of a son several years ago, by
an accident while at work with his father,

Memorial DIV Exercises.

The attendance at the Memorial service
Sunday was very large, and the decoration
of the church with flowers and flags was
both elaborate and in good taste. A chorus
of singers from both churches, under the
direction of b. j. Kenyon, who played the
organ, rendered appropriate music in a
highly effective manner. The sermon, by
Pastor Meacham, was listened to with good
attention and afterwards received its due
need of praise. The procession to the
cemetery was headed by the post and Re
lief corps, who were followed by both Sun
day schools and large number of citizens.
Services at the cemetery were impressive
and instructive. The dinner served by the
ladies of the Relief corps in the town hall
was ample, and a very pleasant feature of
the occasion.
The Memorial exercises at the village
school Monday afternoon were of a highly
interesting character, and consisted of
singing, reading and speaking of patriotic
pieces, flag exercises, etc. Remarks were
made by DR., Weston of Newfane, George
Houghton, superintendent of schools, and
Rev. G. d, r Msacham.

Death Of Mrs. Mary Temple brown.

Again we have to record the death of
one of our old landmarks. Mrs. Mary
Temple Brown died last Sunday morning
after a brief illness. She was born in
Heath, Mass. Her maiden name, Temple
she always retained. She married the late
Amos A. Brown, Esq. in 1889. She had
eight children, four of whom are living:
Mrs. d. f. Roberts of Halifax, Mrs. E. r.
Reed, Mrs. F. w. burlington of Colrain,
Mass, and VIM. A. Brown. Mr.. Brown
died "a years ago. Nine grandchildren
are living. Mrs. Brown was raised a Con-
gregationalist and kept the faith. Her
funeral was at the house, the Rev. Mr..
Ashley of Shelburne Falls officiating.
There was a large attendance of friends
and neighbors who came to mourn the
loss of one whose life and daily walk in
our midst for more than 40 years had been
exemplary. She was woman of more
than ordinary ability and foresight We
are reminded of a singular coincidence of
dates of anniversaries. She was married
Thanksgiving day, 80, and buried Memo
rial day, '93; so her life of rejoicing can
be remembered and commemorated with
the annual floral tribute.
