Samuel brought his wife to live at that
place when he was married. Thirtyfive
years ago Samuel Dexter moved to
Sheffield, where he died a few years ago.
Mrs. Dexter was a most interesting
woman, highly intelligent and con-
scientious; and very active in church work
for many years, until her age and
health prevented. She was a woman who
read much, was very industrious and in
many respects a very superior lady. She
was one of the kindest and most sympa-
thetic women in sickness, always ready to
help where her help was needed, and to
tighten the burdens of others.
The lecture given by Robert J. Burdette
on Thursday evening was largely attended.
A majority of the patrons Of the lecture
course had expressed desire to hear this
noted lecturer and all the seats in the
house were filled with people who were
anticipating a rare treat. Unfortunately
the speaker did not seem to be at his best
and while he brought out some excellent
| thoughts he failed to meet the expectations
of the people, and many went home feeling
disappointed in the lecture. Among the
thoughts developed by the speaker were
that boys room should not be the recep-
tacle for all the old things in the house
which no one else wants. His pictures,
some of them at least, should beof his own
choosing. His mirror should not be of
the kind which shows six sectional boys
instead of one. He should be given pretty
things as much as his sister. He should
be allowed to ask questions. He spoke of
the awkwardness of a boy at an evening
party and the grace Of that same boy in a
game of football. Rough games have
their part in his training. The young
couple starting out in life with only rose
ate dreams of the future, should plan for
''at least a dollars WORTH of adversely.
The happiest days of life are not in the
ackground of the past, but in the future.
Those who met Mr.. Burdette before the
lecture speak of him as a very pleasant,
genial man to meet. We are informed that
his home is in Pasadena, Cal, where he
has a beautiful residence. He is said to be
a very charitable man, always glad to rem
der assistance to any who are in need of
help and because of his genial disposition

of Pasadena.
