inent in fraternal organizations, having
been q Mason thirty nine ears and an
Odd Fellow nearly three score years. He
has always been one of the staunchest
friends of the local militia organization,
attending all its public functions, and
was an honorary member OF Co. L., VINO
now mourn him as they would one OF their
enlisted officers. He was always ready
with a cordial greeting to all and his
genial countenance was an inspiration OF
good cheer to many. The large and I'M
pressive funeral services at the Congrega-
tlonal church Thursday afternoon attested
stronger than words the affection felt for
another departed hero of the war. Four
fraternal organizations were in the funeral
march, viz, Malta Commandery, Knight
Templars; Memphremagog Lodge, f. q
A. NJ; Baxter Post, and Co. l., V. n. u.
The Commandery funeral rites were OBJ
served, Prelate w. M. johnson of Barton
officiating, impressively assisted by the
Rines brothers in song service. Eulogis-
tic remarks were made by Rev. A. +.
McGregor, pastor of the Congregational
church. The floral tributes were especially
profuse and beautiful. The interment
was at the West Derby cemetery. The
surviving relatives are: son, DR.. Jacob
Rutherford of Providence, r. l.; two
daughters, Mrs. K. Woodward of Missouri
and Mrs. Helen Colby of Newport; and
four grandchildren, Ruth, Enoch, and
Joseph Colby and Helen Woodward.

Drs. Lunge and Bogue of Newport were
called in council with DR.. Erwin to per-
form surgical operation upon Mrs. David
Labounty, last Wednesday. She was in
much worse condition than was supposed,
and beyond help. She passed away the
next day.
The community was greatly shocked
! last thursday to hear that Thomas Beedle
was dead. He had returned from Boston
only the night before, apparently as well
as usual. Chas. Marsh was passing his
his house the next morning when his at
tention was attracted by noise inside, he
entered and found Mr.. Beedle in distress but
| conscious. He summoned his son George
and DIR. Erwin, but help was of no avail,
| he fingered until about 3 O'Clock that after
noon. We understand that he was sub
ject to bad spells with his heart and that
his death was caused by pleurisy around
the heart. The funeral was held Saturday
at 10 O'Clock at the house, Rev. Heyer
officiating. A large offering OF beautiful
flowers was the tribute of loving friends.
He was a kind, loving and much loved
| father, a true Christian man. Newport
Center has reason to mourn, for she has
lost one of her best citizens. The bereaved
children have the sympathy Of the entire
community.
