Obituary..

RICHARDsoN.-The many friends of The
ophilus Bixby Richardson were shocked to
hear of his sudden death in Chicago on
Sunday, December 3, of pneumonia. Mr..
Richardson was born in Fayston, January
l6, 1912 and was a son of Carlton and Mary
(Bixby) Richardson. His father was killed
while skidding logs, leaving widow and
several small children. At an early age,
Theophilus found home with his uncle,
the late John G. Griggs, under whose care
he grew to be cultured young man, and il
was while he was attending Barre Academy
he was notified of the untimely death OF his
friend and benetactor. Here ended his
academic course, and, although he taught
school few terms after that time, he gave
mp the idea OF classical education, and en-
tered the employ of friend in Toledo, O.,
as clerk in lumber company. Here Mr..
Richardson distinguished himself as a rapid
and accurate accountant, and remained in
the lumber business until the time OF his
death. In 1868 he married Miss Ella Butler
OF Reading, who survives him, and, with his
aged mother, mourns the loss of kind hus-
band and dutiful son.
HAYWARD. - Hiram c. Hayward, who
died at his home in Berlin, December 6,
was born in that town August l3, 1922. In
September, 1916, he was married to Maria
e. Ellis of Brooktield, who died December
s. 1889. leaving three chidren-German q
Flora Nj, and Mary e. On November %,
1860, he was again married to Phebe A.
Wright OF Berlin, who, with one daughter,
Nettie H., wife OF George III. Selma, sur
wives him. In the death of Mr. Hayward,
Berlin loses one Of her best known and
worthiesi citizens. He was life-long res
ident of the town, and the large number Of
people who assembled at his late residence
on the occasion of his funeral testified to
the respect and esteem in which he was
held in the community. He was devoted
husband and father, genial and kindly
friend and neighbor, always ready to cheer
and aid any who were sick or in trouble.
He was man of strong convictions, the re-
suit OF his own study and observation, and
not easily influenced by the thoughts and
opinions of others. In public life he was
glad to use his influence to advance any
cause which he believed to be for the well
fare OF society, and equally free to denounce
or discourage that which, in his judgment,
was wrong. He will be sadly missed, not
only In his home but by his aoquaintancss
throughout the town. D.A.L.

A " Trust" " WHICH Is PoPULAR.-There
is great deal of indignation felt against
trusts. The Sugar Trust, the Standard Oil
Trust, the Welsh Tin Plate Trnst, the Eng
lish Salt Trust, and other combinations of
the kind, are vigorously denounced, and it is
subject of controversy whether here are
more trusts in England than America. and
whether protection or free trade fosters
them. But there is one form OF trust against
which no one has anything to say. That is
the trust the public reposes In Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
