The last sad chapter in the life of John
Moore was ended Tuesday morning,
when his body was laid away to rest in
the Catholic cemetery at the Springs.
with his wife and child, he left here for
Burtonsville, N. Y, the home of Mrs.
Moore, In the hopes of lettering his
health, but at that time his friends had
ho& no would
return alive. Their predictions proved
only too true, for he died at that place
last Sunday morning, and his body ar
rived here on the 2.13 train Monday az
ternoon. He was born In Stafford twenty
seven years ago last January, where near
ly all his life has been passed. 1t needs
no words of ours to tell what this life has
BEEN for it Is an open book to all. By
his upright life he has earned the esteem
of the community, and his early death is
deeply regretted. He was married two
years ago last September to Miss Carrie
Humphrey of Burtonsville, N. Y, who,
with one infant child, survives him, as
also do mother and six sisters. This
makes the fifth death, father and four
sons, all within about four years. This
sorely afflicted family is deserving of the
sympathy of all.
At the adjourned annual meeting of the
Stafford Cemetery association, held Oct.
lst, a committee consisting of E. G. Pin
ney, R. S. Beebe and Jacob Glover was
appointed to draft bylaws and report at
future meeting. 1t was found that al
though the association was established as
body corporate by the general assembly
of 1870, and It's privileges and duties out
lined, no special laws and rules and regu-
lations had ever been decided upon. 1t
is also felt that permanent Improvement
fund should be established, In order that
all danger of the yard ever falling into
neglect may be removed, and that the
care of every lot and of the yard in gener-
al may be assured. Every lot-owner is
interested, as Is every one who has rela-
tives or friends buried in this yard. AS
practical illustration of the benefits of
such fund, let anyone visit Hillside
cemetery. A fund was established by
this association only a short time ago,
and the income from the same has al
ready wonderfully improved the grounds.
The yard at the lower end of the street is
another good illustration of what may
happen when all provisions for the future
report ready, and have called meeting
at the town hall for Saturday, November
5th, at O'Clock in the afternoon. Let
every person who has the welfare of the
Stafford Cemetery at heart make an effort
to be present. Ladies are especially in
vlted to attend this meeting.
