In the death of VIM. L. Barrows the
town has lost an active, energetic business
man, an esteemed and valued citizen. He
was a kind and indulgent husband and
father and will be greatly missed not only
in the home, but by a large circle of
friends. He was ever ready to lend a help
ing hand in everything that pertained to
the welfare of the community. No one
was ever turned away who applied to him
for assistance in any good cause. He was
not only ready to assist but would often
times &C ahead and carry forward reform
work that would have been a failure but
for his perseverance and zeal. He was a
kind friend and neighbor, and it can be tru-
Iy said of him, Ellis works do follow him.
for he has left much accomplished in many
ways as a memorial of his true worth. He
was a born leader and had worked his way
up to prominence through many obstacles,
as his advantages for an education were
very limited. He was a self made man in
every sense of the word, and has filled
many places of trust and responsibility.
He was noted throughout the county for
his ability as an auctioneer. He was a
Mason and had been a prominent Good
Templar. Mr.. BarroWs had been an hon
orary member of the county w. {. T. q.
ever since its organization. He was inter-
ested in the Grange and was master of
Memphremagog Grange at the time of his
death. MIR Barrows repre- sented the town
at the State legislature in 1896. The funeral
was largely attended in Cong'l church Dec.
4th, by relatives and friends from all over
the county. Rev. A. S. Bole gave an inter
esting and appropriate address. The choir
sang "There Is no Death" by Gabriel, ~
Cannot Always Trace the Way" by Howard
NJ. Dow, Crock of Ages" and "Nearer My
God to Thee" which was an especial favor
tie Of the deceased. The floral offerings
were very beautiful, consisting of a pillow
with the word ''Father" inscribed in small
purp pie flowers, a cross with Grange en-
blems from Memphremagog Grange, and
a profusion of carnations from the Eastern
Star of Newport. The services at the grave
we're conducted by the Grange
