ed As years and III months.
Mr. Austin was born in the town OF New
Haven, but at the age OF two years removed
with his parents to Middle Jury to the farm
where his father now resides. He was the
youngest child and only son of Samuel Austin
and Olive Z. GOodno, his wife. widow and
little daughter, Mildred, father and two sis
tiers, Mrs. Walter Billings OF this town and
Mrs. Geo. Copeland OF san Diego. Cal, sur

winter of 1874 he married Cornela, youngest
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons Billings,
then living in East Middlebury. soon after
they removed to the town or Manchester,
Vt, where the first nine years OF their mar
ried life was spent. There their Oldest child
was born and died. In the fall of 1883 he re
moved his family to the village OF Middle
bury, being there engaged IN the m lrble bus
mess, but upon the death OF his mother,
which occurred two years later, he went back
to the farm, where he has since lived.
\ little more than year ago he was taken
with painful and obscure disease OF the
stomach, which baflled the best medical skill
IN Vermont. In May last, accompanied by Dr..
Eddy, he entere StLuke's hospital, New York
but obtained o relief. But the disease stead.
lily advancing, yet cllnging tenaciously to
lite, he made one more attempt tor help, and
IN september last, accompanied by Dr..
smith, he went again to New York and spent
n week in the POSTGRADUATE hospital in that
city. While there they gave him some hope
that he might eventually outllve his trouble,
bat the hope was futile. Steadily and with.
out cessation did that terrible disease taste 4
itself upon him. 1t eventually proved to be
cancers OF the pancreas. Changing and
wasting away, he bore hardly Il trace OF his
former self except perhaps tor tie eyes
which looked out bright and brave through
it all. As the disease advanced he grew
more rec Onciled to tnat which was before
HIM. The God OF his mother was his comfort
and stay, getting to lean more and more
upon that rod and staff, the strength OF which
is beyond all human compass. On the evening
OF Saturday, December 10, quietly, resttnlly,
like tired child, he "tell on sleep" and God
gave him the greatest joy he could possess
the painless land, the sight OF that face
which makes paradise.
