The list Of births and deaths in the town
report will give twenty-six births and forty
two deaths In 1895. At this rate one would
infer that the town would soon be depopu-
lated. The writer has examined the lists
since they were first printed in the town re-
ports, fifteen years in all and finds that the
number of deaths is much larger than in any
other year during this period. The number
Of births, also, has been exceeded but twice
In every year but one OF the fifteen there
were more deaths than births. A further
examination Of the details of the lists for
1895 shows the homogeneous character Of
our population. OF the forty-two who died,
twenty we're born in town. nine others in
the county, six elsewhere in the state, three
in New Hampshire, one in Massachusetts,
one in New York, one in Canada, and the
tanned. OF the ffty-two parents of the
twenty.six children born in the year, six
teen are natives OF the town, eighteen of
other towns in the county, and twelve Of
other towns in the state, while two were
born in New Hampshire, two in Massachu-
sets, one in New York, and one in Wis
consin. Ofthe deaths, the unusual number
Of eight were OF children under one year Of
age. On the other hand, seven were be-
tween eighty and ninety, and one over
ninety years OF age.
