ton of the entertainment.


This community is in sorrow over the
inroads which death has made in our COM
munity of late. We have to record the
death of Mrs. E. LOOMS Stanton from the
effects of cancerous trouble, which has
made her illness most distressing of late.
She died Saturday, Dec. 26. She was the
daughter of William Merriman, our aged
and esteemed citizen, who loses by death
the last but one of six daughters. Mrs.
Stanton was woman of strong mind and
force of character and was greatly esteem
ed here. Her friends have the sympathy
of the entire community.
This community was startled and pain
ed to learn of the sudden death of Fred
P. Cheney, which occurred at his home
on the evening of Wednesday last He
had been in rather feeble health for some
time, but nothing serious was expected.
For day or two he had been ailing some
what and called in DIR. Skinner the after
noon previous to his death. His condi-
tion did not seem to warrant alarm. Mr..
| Cheney was a man well-known in this
vicinity, and his Acquaintance was broad
ened by his political affiliations, and the
fact that some time he has published and
circulated the organ called the Green
Mountain Kicker. He was a man well
versed in matters, writer of no mean a.
bility, and pleasant and genial towns
man. He was veteran of late war and
suffered much from a very severe gum
shot wound. He leaves a wife, two sons,
Reuben and Fred, of Manchester, n. III.
His funeral was held Saturday, Rev. w.
! 0aS n
A. R., of which he was a member, was
present in a body.
