FUNERAL OF DIR. WILLIAMS.

Cheshire's 4oss-Deeply Impressive
Remarks by Rev. DR.. HortOn--Dr.
Williams Long and Useful Career.
CHESHIRE, May 22.-Seldom has deeper
sadness rested upon our entire community
than that occasioned by thu death Of Dr..
William G. Williams, the Oldest physician
in our village, which took place last Fri
day. DR.. Williams was in the sixty-seventh
year Of his age. His funeral was attended
from his late residence on Monday of the
present week. The Rev. Dr.. 8 J. Horton,
assisted by the Rsv. J. F. Sexton, con,
Quoted the services which were unusually
solemn and affecting, The address Of Rev.
DR.. Horton was exceedingly tender and
impressive In which he spoke of the i'm
portance of improving every moment of
life's short probation, and Of living by
faith in the Son of God, and ever being in
readiness for an exchange of worlds. In
words we'll chosen he portrayed the char
scter of the deceased. his successful career
as physician, as a citizen. and as friend
worthy of confidence and esteem
DR.. Williams commenced the practice of
his profession in this village about forty
years ago, then quite q young man, and
from that time until the r. cent illness,
which resulted in his death, he had been a
faithful and successful practitioner. He
was uniformly bright aud cheerful in the
sick room, faithful and attentive to those
dangerously sick, whose watchful eye was
ever on the guard for any change in the
symptoms of disease, that he might ad-
minister proper remedies.
&c
tice he had visited many families in their
hours of sorrow as an angel of comfort
and hope, and many a sick one anxiously
awaiting his coming had been cheered by
his presence and confided in his medical |
skill. His noble form seen daily on our
streets as he had driven to and fro on his |
daily round of practice will be seen no
more, and his daily ministries around the
bedside of the sick and dying no longer |
sooth, comfort and help. Other physi- |
clans must now give medical aid to those |
IL whose behalf he ministered for 80 many
years, and we are thankful that we have |
with us now resident physicians to whose |
medical skill we can safely trust our friends /
during all occasions of sickness and suffer- |
Ing.
The funeral was largely attended by |
neighbors and friends, his own townsmen |
and quite number from tho town of |
Southington, whose family ply slcssn the |
deceased had been for many years, were
also present as mouZners and sympathiz-
ers. A large concourse followed the re-
rnains to the family lot in the Episcopal
cemetery, where he was laid to rest near
loved ones gone before.
Dr.. Williams leaves two children-a
son, DR.. George G. F. Williams, now Sec
rotary and assistant treasurer of the |
Japewell Horse Nail company of Hartford,
and q daughter, Elizabeth J. Williams,
who also resides in the city of Hartford.
The following persons were the paIlbear-
srs on this occasion: e. R. Brown, Alex
snder W. Welton, Theodore Cooh and
Professor e. D. Woodbury..

PRACTICALLY UNPROTECTED.

Ex-Selectman Rowe Claims That 10
the Condition of Property at the
-Four Corners In the Event of u Fire
want a Hydrant Located at That
POint-The Town Sign Post to be
Moved Inside the Green - Othef
Business Done By the Town Faith.
eTs Last Evening.
The necessity existing for the location
of q hydrant at the Four Corners was
graphically explained to the board of &C.
leotmen last night by ex Selectman John
W. Rowe, who claimed that q hydrant was
imperatively needed at that point for pro-
lection in case of FIRE. He explained that
there was s6s, 500 worth of property in
that vicinity, among which was a school
house and a church, and yet all were prac-
tically without any protection in the event
of fire. He made an urgent plea for the
immediate location of hydrant at that
point. After a brief discussion the ques-
ton was referred to the committee on
construction.
Town Agent Clarity reported that the
present location of the town post at the
corner of Church and Chapel streets was
exceedingly dangerous and that an acct
dent might result to passengers on the
Winchester avenue cars unless 1t was re-
moved. he recommended that the post be
removed to- q point within the green i'm
mediately in the rear of the town pump.
The matter was referred to the committee
on construction with power to act.
A petition signed by George P. Hitch
cock and about dozen others aakipg that
new so foot wids layout be made for Full
ton street, between Forbes avenue and East
Ferry street, was referred to the committee
on railroads and bridges.
Ex-Seleotman Beecher appeared before
the board and requested that hydrant be
located at the corner of Hill and Mechanic
streets in West7ille. The matter was
promptly referred to the committee on con-
struction.
s. Harrison Wagner and David Corey,
representing the New Haven and Morris
Cove electric road, asked for permission to
double track portions of Farren avenue.
The board decided to give public hearing
on the petition at 7:30 o'clock Friday even
ing.
Sslectman Pohlman, as chairman of the
finance committee, reported that the COM
mittee was hard at work endeavoring to
secure prices on the Beaver ponds prop
erty, but at present mad not progressed
sufficiently far to be able to make any more
definite report He stated that the com
mittee was endeavoring to negotiate for
the property but wanted to buy at prices
which would be right for the town. This
was the only reference made to the Beaver
ponds imbro2lio and with this explanation
the question was allowed to drop.
The question of the legal acceptance of
East Westville street by the town was re
ferred to to the committee on roads and
bridges with instructions to ascer tain
| whether or not there had bsen any survey
| made and If not to order one for a uniform
| width of sixty feet.
The board also voted to instruct the
Morris Cove Railroad company to fill in
| between it's tracks on Farren, Woodward
| and Forbes avenues with crushed stone
