A"S n'hStlSlH uHlnudy Vi our
respected townsman, w. J. Stanton,
which occurred Tuesday, September 6,
was celebrated on the following day so
as not to debar him from voting on his
ninetieth birthday. 1t was alittle singu-
lar that his 21st and Goth birthdays
should TALL on election days. Mr.. Stan
tons inclinations are democratic.
/ But few men reach the age OF 80 years
whose faculties are as we'll preserved as
are those OF Mr.. Stanton. He has re.
markable memory and can converse on
most any subject which may be brought
forth. He has held many offices Of
trust in town, among which are select
man and he has represented the town in
the legislature several times; he was for
many years justice of the peace and was
lister many years. Mr.. Stanton was
selectman at the time the st. ]. & l.. c.
railroad was being surveyed and was
influential in prohibiting the town from
being bonded by the railroad company.
Over hundred friends, neighbors and
relatives were present from the towns OF
Danville, st. Johnsbury, Lyndon, Whee-
lock and Stannard and a good social
time was spent.
Mrs. Samuel F. Shattuck was the eld-
est person present, she having passed her
92d milestone. Several others were
present whose ages were over 80.
Mr.. Stanton was presented with fine
easy chair and Mrs. Stanton several fine
pieces OF china. We wish for Mr. and
