GEORGE NJ. CURRIER.

After an illness extending over several
years, unusually distressing in many of
its features, George Meade, youngest
child and only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
w. Currier, passed away Sunday evening
February LIST, at the age of "A years.
George was regarded by all who knew
him in his early years as a boy of
unusual intelligence. To all appearance
he was likely to be great help and
comfort to his parents, and TO live a
useful life in the community. But
disease laid hold upon him while still
in early youth and gradually destroyed
all his bright prospects. For several
years he grew steadily worse until about
two years ago when he was suddenly
stricken down and became entirely help.
less, continuing in that condition until
his death. The sympathy of the com,
munity goes out to the whole family
particularly to the parents who have SC
tenderly cared for him all these years
Their affection has been, and is, a very
heavy one to bear. Funeral service was
held at the home Tuesday afternoon
conducted by the pastor of the Metho
dist Church, of which the deceased hac
been for several years member.

ION. ELISHA nay.
I. +. JOHNSON,

My DEAR BIsHoP:
The grandest citizen of Essex county
is dead. For nearly half century
George \. Dale has been identified with
every Interest OF Essex county as we'll as
that of the state in which he was born
and reared. To the people of the pleas
ant village and town the news of the
death of Gov. Dale, though long expec-
ted, came as a terrible shock. They now
realize that great man has gone from
them, and that his equal will not SOON be
found Physically as we'll as mentally
he was great. No man ever questioned
his honesty. In eastern Vermont he was
easily the leader of the law. The mar
row thinker never found in him willing
or good listener. He was in many re.
spects the broadest-mlnded man ! have
ever known, and particularly he was so in
his sympathies for his fellow men. He
himself never spoke words of cri lei, II
or censure on account of social, political
or religious opinions. He loved his fell
low men as only fair minded gentle
man can. Had he gone to the United
States Senate he would have been the
peer of Nermont's greatest senators,
Phelps, Collamer, Morrill, or Edmunds.
If he had accepted a judicial position on
the state bench he would have become
III my Judgment one of the greatest
Judges Vermont ever had. No better
proof of the Governors great fairness
can be found than in the fact that in
northern New Hampshire and Vermont
he was selected as Referee, Master OF
Commissioner more frequently than any
other person. Nor was he ever found
wanting in any such position of delicacy
and trust. Suitors and attorneys were
always accorded the fairest aud most
courteous treatment in his court but
any attempt to converse privately about
a case which he was hearing was never
repeated. AS an advocate he stood sec
ond to none. He was much better and
deeper scholar than was Mr.. Thomas
Bartlett, and a better logician. No man
in Vermont in my time had so much OF
the oriental mind as he possessed. He
resembled and evinced the Irish il
his readiness to give and appreciate 8
good joke. Those who knew him best
loved him best. 1t may be stated with
out fear of contradiction that Gov. Dale
was the best beloved man in the north
ern portion of Vermont. AS boy
knew him and admired him; as man
respected and loved him; and earnestly
say with the men and women of the
town where he died and where his
earthly body is laid: "Peace to his
ashes" ELISHA MAY.

SENATOR WALBRiDGE
West Concord, Vt. Feb. 3. 1916

West Concord, Vt. Feb. 3, 1908.
Bro. BIsHoP:
The death of Gov. Dale comes as a
personal grief to many hearts. His per-
sonality was so genial and sympathetic,
his genius was so pervasive and many
sided, his views OF life and public affairs
so just and philosophical, that he had
become a welcome and trusted counselor
and guide to many who had not the
pleasure of an intimate ACQUAINTANCE
His obituary sketches revealed the innate
nobility of the man. He saw and por-
trayed the characters of his friends in
their noblest moods and at their best
estate. The true poet and the idealist,
as well as the analytic philosopher, were
revealed in his finer touches. Would
that there was some intimate friend
that knew him best, capable of portray
ing in fitting phrase the pathos, the
power and the beauty of a character
whose like we shall not see again.
JOHN IL. WALBRIDGE.

We are deeply grieved to announce
the death, Sunday, of TIE only child of
DR.. and Mrs. f. F. Norcross, little boy
about II months old. The sincere SYM
pathy of many friends will go out to the
oft afflicted parents. The giving back is
very hard, but they cannot give back all
they received with their child-those
new springs of new and deeper affection
that were awakened in them by his
coming, the experiences they have had
with their darling, or those blessed
hours spent with him, which seem
now like one golden chain Of linked hap
piness. A service of prayer was held
at the home OF the parents Monday at
ternoon conducted by Rev. Thos Hall,
and Tuesday the remains were taken to
Derby for interment.

George n. Dale, dead How the
words awake the memory, and fill the
present full of thoughtfulness The
not unexpected, if it be the undesired is
never welcome visitor; and the sud-
denness for the moment intensifies the
shock. Gov. Dale, many years my senior,
was my friend, aud my mind when asked
to formulate his character in few word
picture hesitates to respond, and pleads
its incapacity in this quiet hour of sor-
row. Enough for the present to say =
Physically, of commanding presence,
morally and Intellectually he was of a
large calibre. His ideals were lofty. He
loved to dwell on the high levels of
genius, breathing the atmosphere of
noble purpose, associating with the lives
of those who comprehended somewhat
the hidden mysteries of life. He appre-
ciated those books in which he could
follow the shades and lights of true life
in its proper development. He respected
men who exhibited in every day word
and deed those expanding emotions
which are born of definite and noble
purpose. He loved the pure, for his
heart was tender as a child's, and his
sympathies as deep as woman's. If he
was a friend in the joy OF prosperity, he
was like two friends in the midst of the
shades of sorrow, or in the battles with
adversely. Honesty, humility and honor
were to him stepping stones to eternal
satisfaction. His nature was such that
the horizon of his influence was the outer
circumference of his contact with his
fellow men. Not above others that he
might push them down, but that he
might keep them. up. His view was
broad and far reaching, and he rejoiced
to have others look with him down into
the deep mysteries, out into the varied
experiences, and up into the universe OF
great hope, with strong, even at times
fattering, faith.
