morning last after a brief illness caused
by parslytic shock. Mrs. Day, nee Ruth

goes the best historical memory OF the old
settlers and with her goes the last pen
sioner in Barnard, war of 1872. Her hus-
band, Sergeant Samuel Day, was an officer
in the army from Baltimore, Md. He
died in Barnard more than 40 years ago
and was buried in the Central cemetery.
Mrs. Day leaves no children, her nearest
relative being a grand nephew, son OF 1. I.
Shurtleh OF North Bridgewater. The fu-
neral was held on Monday at the NJ. r.
church OF which she had been a consistent

recently one OF the stewards, Rev. M. II.
Smith officiating. Interment was by the
side OF her husband where their graves
will be annually decorated for all time to
come.
