Mr.. B. F. Emerson, one of our most
respected citizens, died Thursday, May 1st.
Mr.. Emerson had been gradually failing
in health for several years and last Tues
day became seriously ill. Mr.. Emerson
was born in Danville in 1881. In 1860 he
moved to this town and bought the farm
on which he had since resided. At the
time he came here only a small portion of
the farm was cleared, but he succeeded
in making it one of the best farms in town.
In 1862 he enlisted in the 18th regiment
and served for about eleven months until
the regiment was mustered out. In 1870
he and his wife joined 1.-THE Congregational
church in this village and he had always
been faithful member of that denomina-
ton. In 1879 Mr.. Emerson was made
deacon and for twenty-five years he served
the church in that capacity. He was an
honest, upright Christian gentleman,
noted for his candor and love of peace.
He was always found on the right side of
the great moral questions, and possessed
the courage of his convictions. He had
held many town Office and was ever
conscientious public servant. The funeral
was held at the house on Sunday after
noon, Rev. r. L. Sheaff officiating. Several
of the veterans aud many of the towns
men were present. The burial was in the
village cemetery. Mr.. Emerson is sur
vived by two sons and daughter. Il
