WOODBURY..
AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.

AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.
James Fl. Linsley, Woodbury's veter.
an undertaken and furniture dealer, has
sold out his business to George w.
Swan of E SIX, who has already moved
to Woodbury. and taken charge Of the
business. Mr. Linsley has been in the
undertaking business, it may be said,
almost from his boyhood, and in the
performance of his professional duties
has been called into almost every house
in Woodbury., Southbury, Roxbury and
Bethlehem. But advancing years have
caused him to desire to be rid of business
resro asibility, and so he has sold out.
His successor, George w. Swan, is a
man of long business experience, having
for 81 years carried on the undertaking
business at Essex. Owing to ill health
he sold out and for five years has passed
his winters in the South. Every sum-
mer, however, he has been engaged with
a leading undertaken IN one of Connecti-
cuts busting cities. Mr. Swan is most
affable gentleman and doubtless will be
valued acquisition to the social and
business life OF the town. He has been
prominent in Masonic affairs, having ad-
vanced to the high degree of shriner.
