Nathan Carpenter, whose death was
ehronicled in the HERALD AND News Of a.
re- ent date, was born in Sharon, Vt, Aug
l6, 1921, where he passed his childhood
days with his parents. At the age OF u,
he moved with them to Randolph, where
he resided until after his marriage to SUI
san Olivia Smalley, on October IL, 1S47.
Later they resided in Braintree for several
years. SIX childred were born to them, of
whom four survive him, two having died
in early childhood. The two youngest
were living with them at the time OF his
death. May they be spared to comfort
and bless their mother in her sorrow and
smooth her pathway in her declining years.
During the last two years of Mr.. Carpen-
ter's life, he suffered intense agony at
times, though h bore it patiently and
was always cheerful. He had been a resi-
dent of this town many years, and he won
tbe.contidenee' and friendship of all who
knew him. At the age of is, he embraced
Christianity, which he manifested by a
we'll ordered life and by wholesome con-
versation, although n man of few words.
On the subject of religion, he let his light
shine as bright as the noon day sun. Few
men leave so pure and clean record be-
hind them as he left. When loving hearts
and ready hands had done ali that could
be done to save him, without a struggle
he peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. The fu-
neral was largely attended at his late
home. Rev. z. b. Wheeler spoke words
of comfort to the sorrowing friends from
| Cor. XIV. A. The interment took place
at Braintree in the family lot on the
Branch. Con-.
DEAR SIR: An item published in the
Granville news in last weeks HERALD on /
mango in horses is very misleading in its |
character and possibly was so intended |
1t is true that the disease did exist to /
some extent early in the winter, and up to 4
the time the State commissioners came /
and placed quarantine on tie premises of 4
two of our citizens, there was considera.
bic ''trouble and anxietyn felt by the |
farmers and teamsters;' but since that 1
time there has been no danger to the trav- +
cling public or to the community, and at
present only two animals in town are
known to be in the least infected and
hey are nearly cured. That the disease
caused the turning OUT of four or five
Did plugs, some of which had been 'pets"
or more than score of years, thereby
iaving several tons of good hay and gain
rom destruction, is not a matter of very
general regret; but that such items as the
me referred to should be sent to the local
)apers for publication, the tendency of
which would be to deter the public gener-
lily, and particularly horse buyers, from
oming among Us, is very much to be de-
'lored. r. J. FLINT.
