News comments on the late John ID. Mil
Ter of Wallngford, this state. as one
who had clear conception of the val
ue of Vermont as a place of residence
or business investment, a man of
acute and wide political knowledge who
could have had if he would almost any
office in the gift of the people; a man
whose integrity was unquestioned, who
was modest and unassuming, yet OF
marked ability; one who lived close tC
the hearts of The people, loving his fam
lily and neiGhbors, and finding in life
the very best in such companionship. He
was ready TO assist with wise counsel
and in more substantial manner worthy
enterprises, lie had a philanthropic
cast of character, and was wont not tC
let his right hand know what his left
was doing. He married a daughter of
Mrs. Elizabeth Merrifeld Cole, whom
many will remember as a Newfane girl
