said during his remarks "Mrs. Currier was
very highly esteemed in all the circles OF
society in which she moved. She was a
woman of superior gifts and was accorded
leading part in the enterprises in which
she engaged with others. The ladies ell
Gle in the Baptist church considered her
as one of their most efficient members and
depended much on her aid. and she will be

Der of the Baptist church for many year..
She showed her religion in her daily life,
for every duty was conscientiously done.
And now she is undoubtedly reaping the
reward of her faithfulness.n

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT

Hunt.

witch Ended the Life of the Five Year
old Son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank l..
Hunt.
A happy household was plunged into the
deepest sorrow it had ever known and grief
was felt throughout the entire community
Saturday in consequence of the accident
which ended the life of Samuel Lyman
Hunt, the ve-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank l.. Hunt. He was the Youngest
child and the only boy in a family of six
children, among whom death had previ-
ously caused only one break. He bore the
name which had been given to the first
born son in the Hunt family for several
generations. HI was handsome, bright,
attractive child and a favorite with many
of the acquaintance of the Hunt family.
The children had M cry time at din
ner, and afterward Lyman, as he was gem
orally known, and his sister Gertrude went
out TO the barn to play. The hired girl
soon called to them TO come in and get
some 'frosting' and Gertrude responded.
As the boy did not come his sister Ellen
went out to the barn and found that the
vestibule storm door frame had fallen up
on him. Her screams attracted the atten-
tion Of the hired girl, who called to Mrs
Hunt. The girl and Mabel Hunt, one of
the older children, lifted the frame and
Mrs. Hunt took her son in her arms and
carried him into the house Drs Conland
and Pratt were summoned as soon as pos
sible but the boy was dead, the skull be-
ing fractured and the neck probably dislo-
Gated. Mr.. Hunt was at the factory, where
he had just been speaking about the par
ticularly happy time that the children had
at the noon hour, when he was summoned
by telephone with the statement that the
boy was injured, and was told that he was
dead on arrival home.
The storm door frame had been fastened
to the side of the barn by a cleat. Mr.
Hunts horse died Friday night and when
the animal was taken out of the barn the
. whiiiletree struck the frame and pulled it
away from the cleat 1t was then pushed
back and left unfastened. Just how the
accident happened is not known. The
boy may have attempted TO climb upon the
frame, or he may have tried to move a
blanket which was upon it.
The funeral was held at the house Tues
day afternoon at o'clock Rev. Ii. d.
Maxwell officiating. Miss Lenna Thomas
sang two selections. The casket was Gov
cred with a profusion of floral offerings
from the friends of the bereaved family.
The burial was in the family lot in Pros
pect Hill cemetery.

Frank Ash of Brattleboro, who was
sentenced few days ago to 80 DAYS in the
Cheshire county almshOuse at Westmore-
land, n. H., for being in drunken row at
Keene, escaped from the institution last
Saturday night and he has not been seen
by the officers since. He escaped through
the transom over the door of his room but
ii is believed he had outside assistance.
He removed the transom by unscrewing
its fastenings, and it is believed the screw
driver was handed to him from someone
outside after he had gone TO his room for
the night. There are also indications that
the escape had been carefully planned as
other inmates say they saw someone drive
up to the building after dark and then
drive away. A. A. Whitman, superintend-
ent of the institution, came to Brattleboro
Monday in search of Ash. He met Deputy
Sheriff A, W, j. Wilkins of Putney and
they made the search together. They
learned that Ash had been here Sunday,
but he had left for parts unknown.
