FAIRLEE..

OF our most respected and honest men.
Last Saturday morning Mrs. W. H.
Kibbey received telephone dispatch
calling her to Chelsea on account of
the severe illness of her husband.
She arrived only a short time before
his death which was caused by stop
age of the bowels. His remains were
taken to his home Saturday and many
friends were there to show their SYM
pathy by their assistance and words OF
comfort. The funeral was held at the
church Monday at 8 o'clock, Rev. Mr..
Barnard officiating. The large num-
Der who assembled at the church and
the long procession that followed his
remains to the last resting place show
ed the love and respect in which our
worthy friend was held. The Orange
County bar of which the deacon was
an assistant Judge, was represented
by Mr.. j. X. Darling and his son Hale,
George L. Stow, eX-Gov. Farnham
and Grand Juror S. K. Berry. Messrs.
Farnham, Stow and Darling made
few very appropriate remarks, men
tioning the high esteem in which our
departed friend was held, that his
advice and counsel was always relied
upon. Mr.. Kibbey was Y years of
age, and has lived in town many years,
has held many town offices, was a
member of the Congregational church
and had been one of its deacons for a
long time. His like and way OF deal
ing with mankind was apattern worthy
to follow. Both old and young con-
tribute to the Deacon's worth as a
strictly honest and good man. His ad-
vice to the young has always been such
as would make them better men and
women. The floral offerings were
very beautiful. Rev. Mr.. Barnard's
remarks were very fine, he quoted
many passages from the bible which
were very comforting to the widow
who is left alone to mourn his loss.
She said she knew his goodness and it
was comforting to see how much every
one loved him We cherish his men,
DRY here below and consign his spirit
to God who gave it.
Mr.. Golden was called to Waterbury
by dispatch reporting the low state
of his wife's health, and on his arrival
found she had passed away. The re-
mains were brought to Fairlee and SER
vices were held at the cemetery, Rev.
Mr.. Barnard officiating. Mr.. Golden
has lived in town and near here for
about fifty years and his many friends
sympathize with him in his trouble.
He wishes to thank all, especially the
singers, for their kindness.
