We have received the following sketch of
the life of Roswell Colby, who died at his
home here Dec. 18th after being sick but
few days with typhoid pneumonia:
Mr.. Colby was born in this town Oct.
18th, 1888, and had lived on the old farm
all his life with the exception of thirteen
years when he resided in Wheelock. He
was the oldest son of Enoch and Cynthia
Colby. His grandfather, Philip Davis, was
one of the pioneers of this town. In 1854
he married Miss Hannah Hammond of
WheeIock, and they had three children,
Mrs. Ella Scribner of South Lancaster,
Mass, Mrs. Eta Wheeler and Geo. e. Colby
of this town. AT an early age Mr.. Colby
joined the Seventh Day Advents and
always after strictly observed that faith.
He was kind and obliging neighbor and |
a man who will be greatly missed in town
and especially in the neighborhood where |
he spent nearly all his life. The services |
were held at the house the following Fri |
day and were conducted by Rev. James |
Ellington who read the 101st Psalm, the !
last psalm that Mr.. Colby read in family |
worship, and preached from the 18th Psalm, |
the 18th verse. The remains were inferred |
