The village of Lyndonville was
again visited by disastrous fire on
the evening Of August 10th. The alarm
sounded at about 7:45 and it was soon
learned that the engine house in
which were locomotives was on fire.
One of the locomotives, No. 4O2, was
run out by Fireman Burbank, the 9TH |
ers, 254, 416, AT, 424, 428, 457, 474 and |
$50 were damaged, most Of them very
seriously. The fire department did |
excellent service, saving much prop
erty and holding the fire in this build
ing. Had there been a north wind the |
r. r. shops would have stood a mar
row chance. Master Mechanic Todd |
at once telephoned to Concord, n. H, |
for motive power, and engines 702, |
745 and 755 were sent from that divi |
sion, also 208 and 387 from the st. J. |

port will be built as soon as possible. |
This property is covered by insurance. |

Rev. DR.. G. M. Lamson of Hartford, |
Conn, who was spending his vacation |
here, died very suddenly Tuesday. He |
was returning from bicycle ride with |
his wife and son when signs of heart |
trouble appeared and he stopped to !
rest; the pain increasing he was taken
home in a carriage and lived but few
minutes after being carried into the |
house. The cause of his death was
neuralgia of the heart. DIR. Lamson |
was born in Massachusetts in 1913; |
after graduating from college he spent |
year studying in Germany then
returned to Amherst College and |
taught four years as instructor in
English and Latin. In 1869 he was
called to the passionate of the Porter
Congregational church at Worcester, |
Mass, where he remained for two |
years; he was then called to the Salem |
Street Congregational church, where |
he remained for fourteen years. He |
became prominently identified with |
the best interests of the city and was
much sought after on all public oc-
casions. He came to St. Johnsbury in |
1885 as pastor of the North Congre- |
gational church. During his pastor |
ate here he became closely identified |
with the religious, educational and |
philanthropic interests of the place |
and filed a place outside his pulpit |
that had never been filed by fellow
townsman. In 1898 he accepted a call |
to the First Congregational church Of |
Hartford, Conn, where he has resided |
since that time. DR.. Lamson married |
in 1869 Miss Helen F. Bridgman
of Amherst, Mass, and for almost |
thirty years she has been a great help
to him in his pastoral work.
