Emerson A. Way passed away on Mon
day morning, April 23rd, after a very
serious illness of about three weeks.
Everything that loving hands and hearts
could do for his comfort was done, but it
| was impossible to stay the dread disease.
Funeral services took place on Wednesday
at one o'clock, at his late residence. The
| rooms were sweet with the breath of flow
| ers, but there, with the dead in our midst
! and four or five other lives near at hand
| hanging by the merest thread, it was one
| of the saddest funerals the writer has ever
attended. Rev. G. A. Emery spoke feel
/ ingly, and the selections 81 cannot always
| trace the way" ''Nearer my God to Thee"
| and ''Good Night" by the male quartette
of ST. Johnsbury, were beautifully render
ed. The pail bearers were A. B. Stoddard
and E. l.. GaskilI of Caledonia lodge, T and

man of Alpine Lodge, |. o. o. F., of which
orders the deceased was honored mem

the grave. The floral offerings were very
beautiful and were as follows: Pillow, I. 0.

senting each year of the life just ended

member of the firm, known for many years
1886, he married Miss Emma Chesley, who
has made him a very kind and helpful
wife. Two sons were born to them. Mr.. !
Way was thorough business man, indus |
trious, strictly honest in all his dealings, a |
kind and obliging neighbor and all his
family relations were of the most loving |
and tender nature. He will be greatly |
missed by large circle of friends. The
bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the community.
Tis hard to trust. and say "Thy will be done"
When those we fondly loved are laid TO
rest;
But bye-and bye, the veil will be withdrawn,
And we shall understand that God knew
best.
