Fred NJ Waite. Al, died Wednesday
at his home in Dummerston after several
months of illness. Acute Bright's
disease" is given in the certificate as
the cause. The case is remarkable one
and almost without parallel in medicn-
al records. As much as dozen years
ago be went away for treatment for d.
abetes: and at that age the authorities
make it impossible for a man with the
diabetes to live more than few years.
Five or six years ago a council of physi
clans pronounced the case to be one in
its last stages with only few months
more of life possible, but he has ever
since been in active, pushing life until
an injury to his leg laid him up and it
did not heal because of the depletion Of
the system. and finally the trouble
climaxed in Bright's disease. as is not
unusual in such cases. Mr. Waite was
native of Brattleboro. the son of Alfred
F and Martha Circuit Waite, was grad
uated from our high school and for a
number of years largely engaged in
numbering operations, hut for the past
few years has been farming. He is sur
vived by a widow, formerly Miss Anna
Houghton, and three children, as well
as by his mother and one sister, Mrs
Horatio Knapp of Dummerston.
