New Haven, Mr. NJ JrriS is thinking
very seriously of making Newtown his
permanent residence, only boarding in
New Haven during the months when
the roads will not permit certainty of
office days in town. Mr. Morris feels
as if Newtown was Ills natural home,
as he spent his vacations as boy, with
his uncle, On the old place, and the
family has been connected with the
town for generations. Every year he
has managed to spend little time in
the spring and in the fall, here, fishing
and hunting, together with occasional
days during his summers On the
whole, if the railroad and the business
will permit, we stand a fair chance of
seeing one of the old homeSteadS of the
town kept up and occupied by the
younger generation of the family in
stead of going into decay or into the
hands of strangers, as so many of our
homesteads have done.
