ity experienced such a shock as the
death of Frederick G.. Scott on Satur-

had been to the Naugatuck station in
Waterbury to meet his daughter, Edith,
who came on the Cos from Torrington.
They were on their way home and near
the iron bridge on West Main street
when Mr. Scott was stricken without a
moments warning. He was taken to
the hospital, but died before reaching
the buildings. Following SO closely
upon the death Of his wife, (only week
and one day. the family are called up
on to suffer double bereavement, al
most beyond endurance. Mr. and Mrs
Scott leave a family of children: Fred
erick Scott, Eta, Mrs Irving Atwood
Of Woodbury., Edith and Florence.
The children have the sympathy Of
the entire community in their griev-
Gus atfiiction. Quiet and unassuming,
in his manner, he was a man of lofty
and spotless homer and integrity, and
has been identified with the various in
terests of this town for many years.
He was 81 years old, and was for many
years the village storekeeper and post

STEPNEY.

FAITHFUL SERVANT OF THE PUBLIC.
In this busy world the majority of
people become so absorbed in their
own affairs, they neglect sometimes
the common courtesieS Of life, and
forget to drop a word Of encourage
nent here and there, and of common
dation. The BEE does not believe in
saving all the kind words for obituary
notices. For this reason we like to
commend such faithful official as
Stepney Depot's efficient and long
time postmaster and depot agent,
Stephen French. Mr. French has been
1883, succeeding William NJ. Geer. He
makes no buster about his work, but
accomplishes his duty in thorough
way. Stepney Depot without "Steph''
t'rench would not seem right and The
BEE hopes he may be spared many
ears in his present place of useful
ness.
