Death of Mr.. Ball.

One of our respected citizens has passed
away in the death OF William E. Ball,
who has been sick nearly all the fall and
died at his home Friday morning. He
was not considered dangerously i'll until

little sons are now left without father
or mother, as Mrs. Ball died in April,
1900. Mr.. Ball was an indulgent father
and a kind friend and neighbor. He
leaves two brothers and two sisters, F.
A. Brewer and Mrs Lafayette Hastings

Effie Ball of Bellows Falls, besides large
circle of friends to mourn his loss. Fun

offerings were numerous and beautiful.

years ago. His mother died when he
