RECENT DEATHS.


News was received here Tuesday of the
death of Charles Fairbanks at his home
in Nice, France. The immediate cause of
his death was pneumonia. The cable
gram gave no further particulars and the
news came as great shock to his family
friends.
Mr.. Fairbanks was the son OF Gov.
and Mrs. Erastus Fairbanks and was
born in Barnet, Dec. 8, 1921. His early
life was spent in st. Johnsbury and his
academic education was completed at
Phillips Andover academy at Andover,
Mass. He expected to 60 to college, but
his health prevented, and he returned
home and entered the firm of E. & T.
Fairbanks & Co. In 1S45 the firm de-
cided to extend their business facilities
and he went to New York to establish
the branch house. This selling house is
now the largest Of any Of the branch
houses and has charge of all the foreign
trade. He remained here Is years,
showing marked business ability. In
1860, on account of continued i'll health
he retired from active business and left
for Europe where he has since resided.
Though so far from home and relatives
he never lost his interest in his country
or his home. He was intensely American,
a firm believer in the principles Of the
republican party and kept we'll posted on
all phases of the political situation.
Travellers from this country who met
him on the continent were surprised at
his accurate knowledge of current Ameri'
can affairs and often found that he was
better intormedthan theywere themselves
He had fine literary taste, was an oc
casional contributor to the American
magazines, and his letters in years past
to the CALIFORNIAN were widely read
He also had rare appreciation of music
and art.
He never lost his love for St. Johnsbury
and by correspondence and newspaper
reading he kept up his acquaintance will
his old home. The growth Of the town
its material and educational advance
ment and the minor occurrences OF ou
daily lille interested him keeny. Whei
the present North church was built h.
generously gave the beautiful organ ant
when Sunset Home was established h
sent a substantial contribution to tn
treasurer. Drury College in Springfield
Mo-, will never forget his benevolence 70
he gave them the Walter Fairbanks hall
in memory of his son who died in 1872 il
J his 10th year.
On Jan. 2, 1850, he married Laura R
Woodworth OF Saratoga, N. Y, nativ
OF Bakersfield. She survives him wit
one son, Frederick, talented pianis
, and composer, who resides at Dresden
Germany. OF the original family onl
two sisters are now lett, Mrs. c. NJ
Stone of St. Johnsbury and Mrs. c.
Goodell of Boston. In the death c
Charles Fairbanks the last member c
the firm which was so long and familiar
ly kno wn as "The Company" has passe
away. He was gentleman in ever.
sense of the word and possessed man
beautiful traits of character. The friend
here extend the warmest sympathy t.
the bereaved family in their loss, am
their loss is great.

kept in mind, and made use of by every
singer at the rehearsal to be gwen next

greatly disappointed that no rehearsal

hoped that from now on rehearsals will
be held regularly. 1t is also hoped that
the rehearsals will be very largely at
tended. Remember the invitation, here
with renewed to all, and let the officers
in charge see that every singer is inter-
ested to make this years work the best
