Death of Prominent Shelburne Falls
Dentist who Went from this County.

Death of Prominent Shelburne Falls
Dentist who Went from this County.
DR.. Edwin A. Stebbins, the well-known
dentist of Shelburne Falls, Mass, died Sat
urday night after an illness of over year.
DR.. Stebbins was born in Brookline, this
county, July 10, 1887. He was reared on
farm and was educated in the public
schools and at a select school at Cambridge
port, at Leland and Gray seminary at
Townshend, and Wesleyan academy and fe-
male collegiate institute at Springfield, VT.
At the last named school he was teacher of
plain and ornamental penmanship. His
education was secured through his own eff
forts, the same persistence being exhibited
in his desire for learning as characterized
his devotion TO his profession, and to this
may be traced large measure of his sue
cess.
While teaching at Benson Mr.. Stebbins
met DR.. Bissell, and at once began the
study of dentistry. He opened his first
dental office at South Londonderry + 1860,
but in the summer of 1862 obeyeu the call
of his country and enlisted in Company G.,
18th regiment of Vermont volunteers, and
served until the close of the war. After
holding the position of quartermaster- SER
geant, he was commissioned LIST lieutenant.
He was also regimental and post quarter
master for some time. The regiment was
stationed in the defences about Washing.
ton until the spring of "a, when it was or.
dered to the front and placed in the 9Th
corps. The regiment was with Sheridan
on his expedition up the Shenandoah val
ley. The fall and winter of 1915 the regi-
ment was In front of Petersburg, and took
part in the final assault upon Lee. During
most of the service in the field DR.. Stebbins
was in the quartermaster' department. AT
ter the war he opened a dental Office al
| West Townshend and went from there tC
Shelburne Falls in 1860.
Among the members of the dental pro
fession DIR. Stebbns was widely known, be
| ing a prominent member of the Connects
cut Valley dental society, for two years its
president, constantly serving on its com
mittees and contributing several valuable
papers on matters of interest to the profes
sion. He was frequently invited to read pa
peTs before other dental societies. His ex
periments in the application of the nitrate
of silver treatment for the preservation Of
the first teeth of children attracted wide at
tention few years ago, several cases of hi.
treatment being exhibited at the meeting:
of the dental societies.
DIR. Stebbins has been an active WORKER
for Arms academy of Shelburne Falls fol-
the cause of temperance and for the Con
gregational church. DR.. Stebbins was mar
ried to Miss Jane P. Nutting of Groton
Mass, in 1861. She died about 20 year
ago. He married Miss A. Adella Smith O
Holyoke in 1878. She survives him with
young son and daughter, and three broth
ers and two sisters. Mr.. Stebbins assisted
a number of young men in securing thei
dental education, position as apprentice,
in his Office being considered of great wortl
to beginner.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
The Greenfield Fair.

The 47th annual fair of the Franklin
county agricultural society opened at
Greenfield Thursday of last week. The
absence of the coaching parade and other
special attractions resulted in lighter at
tendance than usual but the fair itself was
a notable success, especially in the stock
departments. Over 800 head of cattle
were exhibited. Geo. E. Taylor & Son
of Shelburne exhibited 20 head of Durhams
valued at $1,000. Another valuable exhibit
by John S. Anderson of Shelburne included
Kentucky Duke and Rosa Bonheur vi.
The swine and poultry exhibits were good,
the seven "belted'' swine of A. NJ. Lyman
of Montague attracting much attention.
The display of fruits, flowers, vegetables,
fancy and domestic articles was the best
ever made in Greenfield, the list of exhib-
itors including such well-known men as j.
A. Horton of Greenfield and Z. F. Cope
land of Colrain. In the afternoon there
was but one regular race but it was inter-
esting and exciting. 1t was the 2:35 class,
purse $500, and was won by Red Elm after
five heats; best time 2:20i.
The second day was horse day and the
show in this department was unusually
large and excellent, particularly that of
three. year-olds. There was a fine display
of driving horses. The races in the after
noon were as interesting as any ever seen
in the park. The 2:50 class, purse 5000,
was won in three heats by Jennie Lambert I;
best time 1927. There were three entries
in the 1922 CLASSIFIED S., King Bird and
Gypsy Boy. Ned S. won in FIVE heats time
2:29t. Ned S, was protested by Whitaker,
owner of Gypsy Boy, who claimed the name
of the horse was Tim c., and that he had
a faster record. Between heats Clorine,
owned by G. G. Warren, Waterbury, Vt,
was sent to break the track record of Eta
made by PAGER several years ago. The
record was broken, the trotter covering the
quarter in 35 seconds, half in los, three
| quarters in :42i and mile in 2:17.
| Rev. Arthur Anderson Brooks has re.
signed as minister of All Souls Unitarian
church at Greenfield, asking to be relieved
of his duties Dec. l. He was called to the
church in 1884, succeeding Rev. DIR. j. f
Moors, who had been the pastor 25 years
w. S. Whittlesey, member of the elias!
of '97 at Mt. Hermon was knocked dowr
by a bicycle Sunday. The students a
Mt. Hermon had attended church
at Mortified, and Whittlesey and severa
others were walking back when Alexande
Lumbquist, another student, spurted dowI
a hill on his wheel. The other students
had time to jump aside, but Whlttlesey wa
struck from the rear and thrown forward
upon his face. Conclusion of the braiI
was the result, and he was unconsciou
until 2 o'clock. He was taken to sl
home of John Holton and later to the Nj
Hermon hospital.
