RECENT DEATHS.
LOVcjOy.


Spring street at four O'Clock Saturday
afternoon, brought genuine sorrow to
the hearts Of his many friends and COM
panions. Although not a native of St.
Johnsbury he came here in early life. and
a ortion of his school days, and his briet
business career were spent in our midst.
He was one Of the most popular mem
bers of large circle Of young men COM
panions with whom he had been closely
associated in school, business and social
life, and who have still been his compan-
ions during the long and painful illness
of the past year.
Harry B. Lovejoy was born in Little
ton, November "a, 1877, and was the
oldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs. George E.
Lovejoy. Mr.. Lovejoy was prominent
merchant of that place in company with
H. H. Southworth. He died about ten
years ago. Mrs. Lovejoy and her two
sons came to St. Johnsbury eight years
ago which has since been their home.
Harry attended the Union schools and
ST. .Johnsbury Academy, and later COM
| Harvey, remaining there about year.
Then he entered the Merchants National
bank as bookkeeper and occupied this
position until last February, when sick
ness compelled him to abandon his work.
At that time he suffered a severe illness,
hut recovered somewhat and at times
during the past summer and autumn he
has been so much improved in health
that there was foundation for the hope
that ultimately he might be brought
back to health again, But the brave
struggle that he made was unavaling.
A short time ago he suffered relapse,
and although his mother and friends
were hopeful almost to the end, the dis
ease could not be checked.
Mr.. Loveoy was young man, who
possessed all the traits and instincts that
make an ideal manhood. In his daily
walk among his fellows, he was in all
things a gentleman. Kind aud true in
friends by the mere geutleness and gen
erosity OF his nature. With all his friends,
both young and among the older ones,
with whom he was associated, there will
always remain pleasant memories OF the
gentemanly boy, who grew to a splen-
did young manhood, aud at the beginning
of a career which promised much, was
taken away.
! The funeral was held at his late home
Monday afternoon, Rev. E. M. Chap
man, pastor of the North church. which
Mr.. Lovejoy attended, officiating.
Music was furnished by quartette from
the North church choir. The burial was

Ann Corbett, wife of Torrance McCor-
mick, died at her home on River street
Sunday night, aged 81 years. She had
always been a woman of remarkable

months ago, when she sustained a gen.
eral breaking down of the system from
which she never fully recovered. She was
not seriously i'll, however, until last

shock, and was unconscious to the end.

years a member OF the congregation OF

parish of st. Aloysius, since which time

interests of that church. She was pos

sympathetic nature, always untiring in
her devotion to those in sickness and
trouble, and she leaves host of friends
who will mourn the loss of kindhearted
friend and neighbor.
