Our community was shocked, last Tues
day evening, to learn of the death of p. F.
Tower. Although his friends knew that
he was in critical condition, they did not
realize that his end was so near, as he had
walked to the hotel where he was presid-
ing as justice of the peace. in a lawsuit
twice that day. In the early evening he
complained of feeling badly and failed
fast, only living about five minutes. Mr..
Tower was born in Rochester, VT, but for
many years past has resided here and has
been prominent merchant in this place;
he has held many town offices and dis
charged his duties faithfully. He was a
man who was honest and upright IN all
his dealings and very liberal to the poor.
The large number that attended his fun
eral, gave evidence of the high esteem in
which he was held in the community. The
funeral was held in the NJ. e. chruch, Rev.
A. l.. Cooper, of Plainfield, officiating. Mr..
Tower leaves a widow and three children.
