war, having enlisted while resident
of Washington, this state He was
wounded while on duty in the rifle
pits. He had been failing lately and

fully. Mr. Black was a loyal and con-
SiStent member OF tho NJ 'thrdiSt

of Federal lodge. +. < \. NJ. The flu
neral was held at the house in charge
of Rev c. b. Ford and at the grave Of

jerome II. Woodruff, aged II years,
who passed away Friday night. was at
one time one of our most progressive
farmers on the farm now owned by
George S. Abbott, on Nova Scotia hill.
But about 10 years ago he gave up
farming and removed to the Center.
as his health was giving way under the
strain of the hard work incident to
farming. The rest did him good and
he felt enough better three years ago
to accept the Office Of second select
man and held that Office two Years.
But again the strain was too mach and
he declined a denominations last fall,
saying that he must have rest. His
health declined and he fell an easy
victim to the grip, as above stated.
He was member of the Episcopal
church, consistent, upright Christian.
