 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 Only few short weeks ago, in company with his wife and child, he left here for Burtonsville, N. Y., the home of Mrs. Moore, in the hopes of bettering his health, but at that time his friends had little encouragement that he would ever 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 af- ternoon. He was born in Stafford twenty seven years ago last January, where near ly all his life has been passed. It needs no words of ours to tell what this life has been. for 1t 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 8 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.
 l At the adjourned annual meeting of the Stafford Cemetery association, held Oct. 1st, committee consisting of E. c. Pin- ney, R. s. Beebe and Jacob Glover was appointed to draft bylaws and report at Ia future meeting. 1t was found that al- though the association was established as body corporate by the general assembly of 1870, and its privileges and duties out lined, no special laws and rules and regu- lations had ever been decided upon. It Is also felt that 8 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 are neglected. The committee have their report ready, and have called a meeting at the town hall for Saturday, November 9th, at 9 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 vited to attend this meeting.
