Death Of A. NJ. Marsh.

Augustus NJ. Marsh passed away Dec.
26th. the immediate cause OF his death
being cancer Of the liver.
He was the grandson of Col. Joel Marsh,
one Of the first settlers in town, and orig
| iual proprietor OF "The Great Mill Lot OF
| four hundred acres, comprising nearly all
| Of what is now Bethel village. The Marsh
family have been very prominent in the
affairs OF Bethel, the office of town clerk,
| especially, having been filed by members
of the family almost continuously since
the organizing of the town. The two sons
of Joel Marsh, Peleg Marsh and Jonathan
Marsh, divided the property on the death
OF their father, Jonathan taking the farm
( and the land on the west side OF the
branch and Peleg the gristmill and the
land on the east side.
Augustus NJ. Marsh was the son of Peleg
and owned at the time of his death the
home place in Bethel village and pasture
in the rear Of X. W. Morse's, being a por-
tiop Of the original great mill lot that has
never passed out Of the Marsh family.
Mr.. Marsh was born January 30th, 1870.
He married Jan. 30, 1858, Rosetta Meserve,
who died several years ago. The earlier
portion Of his life was spent In the saw
and gristmill Of his father, Peleg Marsh,
and after becoming Of age he managed the
business until 1850. He afterwards was in
the lumber and bark business for many
years with the late Myron Burnett. The
financial crash Of 1873 struck the firm hard
and completely ruined Mr.. Marsh. Friends
came to his aid and be was enabled to
keep his home property, He had always
been engaged in the farming business
more or less and also did a great deal of
mason work.
lie was prominent in. town affairs, was
lister and selectman many years and rep
resented Bethel at Montpelier from 1863
20 1877. His advice was sought by other
men in many affairs and there was prob
ably no man better acquainted with the
history Of Bethel, its people and institu-
tions. He was a veritable dictionary OF
old families and their relationships, and
the stories that he could tell of Bethels
early days would fill a volume. He was
genial in disposition and generous, often
to his own detriment.
He is survived by his two sons, Fred A.,
born Nov. 9TH, 1855, and George A., born
Jan. 4th, 1861.
Funeral services were held Saturday
afternoon, Dec. 2Sth, Rev. r.. A. Read,
pastor OF the Uniyersalist church, oiiiei-

WEARING A FRowNER.
A New Wrinkle I'm Personalities OF
the smootbness of the Facial
Cuticle.

In the halcyon days of the south,
when time was no object with slaves,
and fair ladies scorned even to pick
up their own handkerchiefs, there
was felt among la haute societe a
common dread 1t was that of
wrinkles-those inevitable markings
of Father Time. Then a beautiful
complexion was esteemed to be one
of woman's greatest charms. The
unburned golfer had not come fam
boyantly into fashion, nor was the
"literary wrinltle"-one deep crease
between the eyebrows-looked upon
with favor; neither had the rudy
coloring the charm of to-day, while
Redeemed arms exposed by rolled-up
shirt sleeves would assuredly have
been regarded as extremely vulgar,
says the Chicago Record-Herald.
A delicate skin was the supreme
desire of every well-born woman, and
considered half the battle in win
ming a lover. In the privacy of her
own chamber, therefore, she engaged
in such small arts as would enhance
this beauty, the most efficacious be-
ing a strip of white ribbon or a soft
handkerchief tied tightly about her
forehead, that it might prevent il
from pickering or falling into set
lines as she sat reading or thinking.
To further aid in smoothing out the
brow the band was dipped in cold
water. Often she slept at night with
this band tied firmly about her head
In these days of ultra modernness
the subject of wrinkles is still one OF
vast importance, and a new proven
tive has been evolved. II is called by
the suggestive name of "frowner, .
and consists simply of rather stiff
bit Of white paper about the size and
shape of a postage stamp and having
on its back similar coating of gum.
Especially is II designed as a proven
tive of the wrinkles between the
brows or at the corners of the eyes,
and in these places, after being
moistened, these should be pasted
whenever one is about to engage in
some occupation that causes the hab-
it Of ''wrinkling."
At the fashionable shops of large
cities frowners are now as regularly
on sale as almost any other acces-
series Of the toilet. Many, however.
prefer to make them at home. a
process simple and inexpensive. II
has also been found by those who
are ingenious that it is best to cut
them circular in shape instead Of
square, as they leave less Of a trace
when removed. Heavy writing paper
from which to fashion them is avail
able TO all, and little dissolved gum
arabic will stick them on good and
/ tight.
