CHARLES VI. WAINWRIGHT.
The few lines in last weeks REGISTER
announcing the sudden death i'm Chicago
of Charles NJ. Wainwright, will come as
an especially painful shock to those who
knew him as a youth in Middlebury, and
followed with interest his career as Il
young man, i'm the western metropolis
Born I'm Burlington in 1854, he after
ward moved to Troy, and later to Mid
dlebury, where he entered the store of
Beckwith q Co. There he remained un-
til 1876, when he went to Chicago and
became identified with the large whole
sale grocery house of Sprague, Warner
e Co., with whom he remained until his
demise.
In May. 1892, he was united in mar
riage to NJ. Helen Lytle of Wabash, Ind,
who survives him, as do also his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles G.. Wainwright.
and his sister, Mrs. f. A. Farms worth, of
this place, and Mrs. w. J. Wilcox of
Chicago. Services were conducted by
Rev. DR.. Merrill of the Sixth church,
and the body lies at rest i'm beautiful
Oakwoods, in the city of which he was
always so proud.
The sudden swapping of this thread of
life, Just i'm its prime, is but one more
evidence of the inscrutable ways of
Providence. For forty-three years only
were those with whom he came in con-
tact permitted to admire and love him.
Sympathetic, courteous, upright and
generous, he united in singuarly hap
by manner those attributes with which
we are pleased to endow thoroughly
good and noble man. The world would
be better were there more like him.

lie was genial man among men, had a
kind heart for the poor, Il good word for
all. His heart and house were wide open
to express any kindness needed. He
lived to be loved and missed on all these
lines, Such an history was not an acct
dent. His godly father and mother and
most estimabe companion, each had to
do in making our beloved brother what
he was, loved and respected, as one
whom the town will miss in all its circles
of business; as safe adviser, a warm
supporter of the best interests on educa
tional and civil lines, and not the least
he seemed to rest his immortal hopes on
the solid rock of a needed and accepted
Christ, as he said, she would rather rest
here than anywhere else" The large at
tendance at his funeral from his own
and other towns was witness to good
man gone" b.
JUDGE MYRON PLATT.
In the death of Judge Myron Plat Of
Shoreham on Sunday morning. the home,
has lost one of the most endeared hus-
bands and fathers, and the town one of
its most efficient and safe cOunsellors
As Judge, he was often called to render
decisions of civil interest, and was a side
Judge in the county court at one time
He stood for best things, as touching
both civil, educational and religious mat
tiers. He lived to be missed by all, but
especially in the home, where he was in
devoted interest, and his great wish
seemed to be, that a goOd character be the
possession of them all Dropping so
suddenly out of life's ranks has brought
untold grief to his beloved companion
and children. But nothing can they re-
call so comforting, as that the dear one
represented the best interests and thus
stood on the side of those things that
make for truest Christian civilization
They have our warmest Christian sym
pathy in the hour of so sudden and
peculiar bereavement. w.
