Norris was born in Sutton; she was mar
ried in 1888 and resided in that town until
forty-five years ago when Mr.. Norris
moved to this village and erected the
house in which Mrs. Norris died For
some time she had been III poor health and
since last March had failed steadily. The
| funeral will be held at the house tomor-
row (Tuesday) at 1870 A. NJ; Theremains
are to be taken to Sutton for interment.
Mr.. EDITOR noticed not long since
an article in the MONITOR from the pen of
A. T. B. in regard to the rough edges in
the village of Barton. Now while I con-
slider our village model in many respects,
| there is 10 doubt room for more improve
pents but had the eminent doctor given
| as much attention to the subject OF farm
ing as evidently he has to his own profess
| sion he would not have allowed a small
green patch in front Of the passenger depot
! to throw his pillow out Of the ground, but
would have changed the mold board to the
other side Of the ploW and continued the
furrow down Main ST. for distance. Here
is a short strip Of railroad bank in the heart
of our beautiful village which by small
outlay of money might be converted into
! a nice lawn. B. G.
Mr.. David Gallup, who moved here from
| Troy with his daughter last summer, died
at his home on South Church street last
| Tuesday aged seventy three years. He had
lived in Troy nearly all of his life and had
| always been a highly respected citizen,
| having a large number of friends. He was
d member OF the F. 3. church and an hon
est and industrious man. He suffered
much in his last illness but bore it with
| Christian fortitude. Mr.. Gallup was a
cousin Of the late Nelson Gallup Of Barton
Landing. His wife died eighteen years
ago; he is survived by three children, 0 A.
| Gallup of North Dakota, E. A. Gallup OF
Cambridge, VT, and Mrs. c. =. Coburn Of
this village. The remains We're taken to
| Troy where the funeral services were held
Thursday, Rev. Mr.. Davenport officiating.
Mr.. J. g. Page died at his home on High
street last Wednesday, aged seventy five
years. Mr.. Page has been in poor health
! for some years and last spring he had
serious illness from which he never re-
covered although he had been able to be
out at times until few days before his
death He had lived in this county for
many years, having resided in Westmore
4
W lille there he was closely identified with
the business interests Of the town, holding
at times most of the different town offices.
Since moving here his health has been too
poor to allow OF his engaging very actively
in business. He leaves wife, two
daughters and a son, and two step
daug htcrs, who have the sympathy of
many friends. The funeral was held at
the house Friday, Rev. w. Z. Douglass
| officiating. The remains were taken to
Westmore for interment.
The MONITOR will soon commence the
| publication Of a series of articles written
By Mr.. Z. Fl. Webster OF this village, in
which he gives his experiences while con-
fined in various prisons during the Civil
war Mr. Webster spent i've and one half
months IN Southern prisons and viii be
| able to give an accurate and interesting
| account of the manner in which affairs
| were conducted there. He wrote the ar
ticles soon after the war with the inten-
ton of publishing them in book form, but
not having as yet done this although
he may later, he has now consented to
| give them to the readers of this paper.
| These articles Will be of much interest
| to all people, who remember the
exciting times from 61-65, and will also
| interest the younger ones to know what
was endured by some of our soldiers at
that time, and coming from the pen of one
who is able to write from a personal eX-
perience they will be doubly interesting.
