DEA tn OF WELLS GOODWIN.

The weary wheels of life stood still
at last with Wells Goodwin of New
bury about three o'clock in the af-
ternoon Tuesday, Dec. IL, at the
great age of one hundred years,
one month and two days. He was
conscious until within a few hours of
his death, knew those around him,
and made known his wants intel
ligently. He died from sheer old age,
but such was his remarkable ten
acity of life, that he lived for eleven
days after he had ceased to take
food, and received no nourishment
beyond a slight stimulant.
Thus has passed away one OF the
last links that links this century to
the preceding one; man who could
remember a person born in the 18th
century, and lived to see children
who may be alive near the close of
the twentieth.
He was the last enlisted soldier of
the war of 1912 in Vermont, and the
last in the country who had drawn
a pension from the close of that war
for wounds received in service.
AS kindly, honest man, a great
reader, shrewd and intelligent, he
was held in regard, and will long be
remembered in this region as the last
survivor of a great era.
The last revolutionary soldier in
this state was Jonas Gates, who died
at Chelsea in 1864. His was one of
the very last names stricken from the
roll of revolu utionary pensioners. He
also served in the war of 1912, and
was in his Tooth year when he died.
The last revolutionary soldier in
the county was Samuel Downing, a
native of Newburyport, Mass, who
died at Edinburg, Saratoga county,
N. Y, Feb. 19, 1867, aged 1O5 years,
months, 21 days.
There may still remain in this state
one or two very old men, known as
"Plattsburg Volunteers" who came
forward to the defence of Burlington
in 1914. They were not enlisted and
only served few days. Ira Ward of
Fair Haven is one of these, but Mr..
Goodwin was the last enlisted soldier.
