| The sudden death of Warren E. Twom bly,
early Wednesday morning was painful
surprise to our townspeople. Although he
had not been well for some time his condi-
tion was not considered critical, and even
the day previous to his passing away he had
been about the house as usual. few
weeks ago he had told the writer that his
physician called his disease anemia. He
| was born in Barton, Jan. IA, 1873, his par
ents, Henry H, and Lucy Twombly, NOV
ing here twenty-one years ago. Warren
was an excellent scholar and had natural
literary taste, having few years ago pub
lished an interesting brochure of Viii
loughby Lake. He had also corresponded
quite extensively for local papers. Some
three or four years ago he purchased the job
printing office here which trade he has fol-
lowed quite steadily until his appointment
last summer as deputy consul of this dis
trict of Modern Woodmen of America.
That he was a young man held in high
esteem by the citizens of this village was
strongly attested by the large attendance
at the funeral Friday afternoon, and the
beautiful floral tributes. The rites were
K. Fuller of Windsor-a former beloved
pastor Incorporating the sermon; while
Rev. Mr.. Lyman, the pastor incum bent,
offered the prayer, and Rev. Mr.. Lewis OF
the Methodist church read the scripture
selection. The floral offerings were as fol-
lows: Pillow of carnations and lilies from
the Modern Woodmen; wreath of white
and pink carnations from Willoughby
Grange; pillow of pinks and chrysanthe-

chrysanthemums and carnations from the
