Ex-Gov. Carroll S. Page is receiving
general congratulations from the
State press these days on the graft
flying success which he has made of
the Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company, of which he is
president. 1t is a significant fact
that during the recent panic he fur
nished the people of LamoilIe county
all the money they wanted at six per
cent, and he stood ready to pay
depositors on call. All of the funds
of the bank, which has deposits
already amounting to over $4,000
although it was started in 1890, are
invested in Vermont, and ex-Gov.
Page is doing a grand service to
Vermont in showing that home in
vestments pay. = Burlington Free

Many will regret to learn of the
death of Hon. Norman Boardman of
Lyons, Iowa, which occurred April
80. Mr.. Boardman was a native of
this county and will be remembered
by many of the older people of this
vicinity. He was a younger brother
of the late Almond Boardman and is
the last of the family of twelve. From
the Nevada (Iowa) Representative
we take the following concerning
| him
Hon. Norman Boardman of Lyons, died
Monday evening at his home in that city
! upon his S1st birthday. The deceased was in
| his time one of the active men of Clinton
county, and had been an occasional visitor
| to Nevada, where his presence was always
! pleasantly noted, both for his own sake and
for that of his sons who have long been num-
! bered among our most energetic and pro-
! gressive business men. Mr.. Boardman was
| born and reared in Vermont and first came
west in 1886 at the age of twenty-three and
located in Missouri He returned soon how
ever, to Vermont where he married but in
! lS00 he came to the west again and made
] his home at Lyons, where he continued to
reside tor the remaining 80 years of his liie
! He was man OF affairs, giving his attention
/ pIiutlpully 10 lue real esUdJe business. he
was district attorney in Vermont, but never
practieed law in the west In 1861 he was
elected to the state senate and served in the
ninth and tenth General Assemblies In 1869
he was appointed by President Grant col
lector of internal revenue and held that post
through Grants two administrations. He
was twice married and leaves widow and
three sons, H. G., W. K, and c. D., with their
wives and children to mourn his loss. His
last illness was brief, and the first notice of it
received in Nevada was a telegram to II. G.
Monday evening that his father was not ex-
pected to live through the night He left for
! Lyons on the limited that night and W. X.
and c. d. went the same night from Des
Moines. Upon arriving there, however they
learned their father had passed away before
they started. The Mesdames Boardman with
their respective families left last evening to
attend the funeral Death is always sad and
brings profound regret, but the sorrowing
relatives in this instance have the consola-
tion that peaceful closing at ripe old age
of an honored and useful life is an end better
than which is to be hoped for in this world.
