Two ladies who hired team of II.
5. Parks of Plainfield to attend the
Good Templars' union at this place on
Saturday were given large black
horse to drive but when they got
back to Plainfeld some time in the
evening they had small black five
year old colt. They pat their team
up at the Commercial House and the
| one having the care OF the teams at
| that place hitched the wrong horse for
them. 1t was afterward learned that
the horse they drove home was not
considered safe ladies' driver and
had never before been trusted to their
care The one who.owned it lived at
Cabot. He got part way home before

John E. Eddy died at his home in
Marshfield early Friday morning. He
would have reached his eighty second
birthday on the 9th of July next.
John E. Eddy, son of Samuel and
Lucy Gibbs Eddy, was born in Charl-
ton, Mass. There were eight children
in the family of which he was the last
living, two having died quite young,
the rest living to good age. At the
age of nine he came to Walden, VT,
where he lived until about twenty.
one years old when he went to Boston
aud eng aged in peddlin2. By close
attention to this business he saved
enough in seven years to return to
Vermont and purchase the river farm
in Marshfield which was his home tor
many years. Some time before he
came to Marshfield he married Miss
| Sally M. Eddy, daughter of Captain
Edmund Eddy of Walden, by whom
he bad two children, a son and daugh-
| ter who survive him. M. H. Eddy of
| st. Johnsbury and Mrs. j. w. Caustic
of Montpelier. On the death of Mrs.
Eddy the farm was sold and later Mr..
Eddy married Miss May Palmer of
Danville, who survives him, and
bought the place known as the york
place" on depot hill which has since
been his home. Nearly nine years
ago his mind began to fail and grad
ually grew worse. For this reason he
has during this time and more especi-
ally during the latter part of it been
constant care and charge for his wife
although able to be about most of the
time until last Monday. To this care
Mrs. Eddy has been constant and de-
voted, true helpmate, scarce leav-
ing her husband for day during this
long period of years. In creed Mr.
Eddy was of the Universalist faith
and was very active in the church of
this denomination to which he contri-
buted literally both of his time and
money. He was also a strong advo-
cate of temperance and never tired in
its defence. The funeral was held on
Saturday afternoon at three O'Clock
at the house, Rev. Winnifred Eddy
officiating. There we're many floral
offerings. The remains were taken to
Walden on Sunday for burial.
