Some of the old residents of Windham
county remember when Rutherford Il.

kept the store on Dummerston common.

knight was formerly occupied by MIR
Hayes and 4 part of the old store Is still
standing, though unoccupicd. Mr.. Hayes
then about so years Old, with small for
tune of 5000 moved to Ohio in 1917, his
family, consisting of wife and two chill
dren. one boy of two years, and "A Girl Of
three months, both of whom died soon af-
ter, the boy being drowned. Two children
were born in Ohio, Fanny (Mrs. Plato and
Rutherford g., the latter fouc months at
ter the death of his father.
The old Hayes tavern kept by the grand
father Of President Hayes, is still occu-
pied as a summer home 10y Mrs. Bigclow,
relative of the family, who has pre-
served in a measure the original architec-
ture of the old hosiery and some of its
furnishings which are decidedly quaint
and interesting. 1t was while making
some alterations to the ancient building,
that Mrs. Bgelow discovered the follow
ing invitation neatly printed on the back
of an eight spot of spades "The bearer
