1t is not perhaps generally known
that one of the members of the FAM
Gus "Boston tea party" OF 1873 once
lived in Woodstock and lies bur-
led in the old Gushing cemetery.
His name was Joseph Pearse Palmer.
His name is not given III the partial
list of the men who scattered the tea
printed in Lossing's history, but he
is known to have taken part in that
affair. Mr.. Palmer came
to Woodstock about the year 1896
and entered the family of Charles
Marsh, being engaged in teaching,
and in the year followin g was killed
ov fail from an abutment of the
new bridge then building at the foot
Of Elm street. No stone marking
his grave has been discovered and it
IS suggested that it would be most
appropriate thing to do to erect
memorial tablet to this hero of an
event of such historical interest, and
It is very likely there are a sufficient
of people interested in colo
NAL and patriotic matters to see that
It is done.

the PAGER, who hasn't been seen
here on track, will give very
good account of himself.
