He was born in Montpelier, and for more
than forty years has been foreman and
superintendent at the shops Of the Lane
Manufacturing Company. His valuable
services to this corporation through four
decades can hardly be overestimated. For
twenty one consecutive years, ending March
last, deceased was a member of the board
OF school commissioners, where he always
did faithful and intelligent work. Upon
his retirement last month, because OF inn
paired health, resolutions were adopted by
the board, appreciative of the services he
had so long rendered. Mr.. Guernsey mar
ried Daphe Hathaway of East Montpelier,
who survives him with three children-E.

also leaves one sister, Miss Lucy Guernsey,
and one brother, Charles w. Guernsey,
both of this city. Deceased was self re-
liant, self made man. His skill and execu-
tive ability long since won for him the es-
TEEN and appreciation Of his employers,
while his indomitable perseverance, enabl-
ed him to crafty in large measure his am
bition of earlier years, TO stand high in his
chosen work. He was kind neighbor, an
