train approaching he stepped 20 the
other track and stood watching the
train pass tho noise Of which drowned
that OF west bound train coming on
the track he was standing on. The

happened 20 him. lie leaves q wife
and two sons, the latter living some
where ia Ohio. Tho unfortunate man
was about seventy years Of ago How
long viii 10 be now before we have 20

Following is the poem alluded to
above:
Dear Grandmother Goodrich.
dear grandmother Goodrich l knew her full
we'll,
She lived at my fathers when was a child;
And loved her more than have words to tell
So Kind was she to me, so patient and mild.
And when my own mother was laid In the grave
How much like a mother she was to me then;
And said with deep feeling you here cannot
have
Your fond loving mother to love you again.
But if you remember the lessons she taught
And if you always will heed them with care,
And never forget TO do as you ought
You'll meet her in heaven, and dwell with her
there.
How well | remember those days long ago,
She spun at the distah her linen 50 fine
Her Bible lay near her, and with face all aglow
She read from its pages, Christ's sayings divine
Her faith in Gods goodness was truly sublime
source of much comfort through lifes waning
" ars,
sweet inspiration through all coming time,
To tighten her sorrows and Danish her fears.
And many an hour she spent with her Cod
In secret communion remote from her cares
And yon house OF worship, where many have
tod,
Was given in answer to her earnest prayers
She there at the age of ninety-two years.
In remembrance Of Christ, her Savior divine,
With sense of his love that moved her to tears
Partook of those emblems, the bread and the
wine.
And three generations partook with her there,
And those three generations descended from her
And the spirit OF God in answer to prayer,
Was shed on the people as seldom before
| am told that long years before was born
When the country was new and people were poor
She placed on her table each noon, night and
morn,
A plate for the hungry who came to her door.
That her life was just continual round
OF kindness to others less favored than she;
And though all that was mortal is dust In the
ground,
Her sweet holy influence is always to be-
And will bless her descendants through all com
ing time,
For which in her life she so earnestly prayed;
That in every land and in every cline
Gods unerring precepts be loved and obeyed.
And may not we believe that in heaven above
She knows the great progress that's made in our
day;
She knows the great progress in knowledge and
love,
That helps the millennium thus far on its way

In memoriam Mr.. Nathan Wood d.
parted this life at the home of his son,
David, July y, at the advanced age of
eighty-two years. He was married fifty
nine years previous to May Gilman.
She and two sons survive him. The
greater part of his life was spent in
Madison, he being one of the first sell
tiers, owning at different periods shares
in the starch factory, saw and gri-f
mills, also sash and blind factory, bur a.
the population increased 1t went into
other hands. At present he hud an IN
terest in the wooden mills. La early lite
he became a Christian, ready and willing
always to work for his Master. H.
became power in the church, holding
the highest office, being ;. ;. superin en-
dent many years. He was the oldest in
years also, in church member shin in the
Congregational church AZ Madison.
Health failing him, he felt the necessity
of retiring from activity, aud has spent
the last few years in Mercer, being ten
derby cared for by his son, David, and
family. The immediate cause of his
death was paralytic shock, he slowly
sinking for three weeks. just before
his death he a7ked that they might have
prayers, in which he made his last audi
BILE prayer on earth, so full of faith and
resignation to Gods will. We all feel
truly, beautiful life has gone out. The
funeral service took place at the house,
Rev. J. A. Jones of Norridgewock. Off
ciating. The remains were taken to
Madison for interment. The blow falls
heavily upon the home circle, it being
tie first death in forty-six years. They
have the heartfelt sympathy of their
many friends.
