FUNERAL OF ALANSON PEET.

FUNERAL OF ALANSON PEET.
 The funeral of Alanson Peetat the church on New Preston Hill, where he has been sexton for many years, was attended by many of his friends from this village as well as from other com munities, last Sunday afternoon, and the main body of the church was we'll filled with sincere sympathiZers of MT Peet's family in the loss sus- tained. Owing to the inclemency of the weather many(especially ladies' were prevented from being there. The ceremonies conducted by Chaplain Henry Upson were we'll rendered. The solo sung by Mrs Denslow of Marble dale was most appropriate and the beautiful committal service of upson Post, G. A. R., of New Milford, which was held at the church on account of the storm outside, was very impress sively rendered by the several officers New Preston people are sorry to lose so upright and helpful man in various ways from the community. His labors for many years have been most faith full to the public and the esteem felt for him by all those who have been closely connected with him, has been great. The writer feels that this com munity as we'll as New Preston Hill has lost good man, the vacancy being very hard to fill. His genial face is remembered by us from childhood and his kind voice and helpful hands have been heard and seen in many lines of action and work more especially for the public good and services during the last 10 years. For P years he has been an ardent supporter of temperance and although waiting till nearly 50 years of age before signing the tenn perance pledge, he has ever since been a most faithful, consistent and con- scientiouS adherant to the same. Your writer has never heard that in the least has he transgressed the same. He was member of the church on New Preston Hill and has done more for the comfort of church goers, as sex ton, than any who preceded him. One was always sure of meeting5a smile of there to worship. In all matters of public good and welfare for 20 years. MT Peet's influence has been felt on the right side. The writer again re- peats he is sorry he has gone by death from our sight and knowledge.
