DR.. Frank B. Newton died this morn
ing at 1910 of typhoid pneumonia, after
an Illness of nine days. He contracted a
cold while riding on his professional Wis
Its, and continued at his work until
obliged to give up. All that medical
skill could do was done for him, but with
out avail. The death Is particularly sad,
owing to the promise Of the young ply
sieian and the exceptional opportunities
that were his for brilliant and useful
career. He was an enthusiast In his pro.
fessIon, and with his natural ability the
future seemed assured. The community
has lost useful citizen. but 1t Is the sew
ersnee Of the ties OF kindred and friends
that will be the most keenly felt. He
had q wide circle of friends, as he had
lived here all his life with the exception
of the short periods that he was away at
school. He was essentially q STAFFORD
Springs boy-born here and educated In
our schools. Most of the young people
have grown up with him and been associ.

older people have watched his career with
interest. 1t Is these conditions that made
the news Of his death a shock to the com.

was not unexpected. The unfavorable
reports yesterday brought universal ex.
pressions of regret. Everybody knew
him, and he was generally liked. Nature
had done much for him In the way OF
general appearance, and his qualities of
good nature and cheerful wit added to his
popularity. But % years of age, with so
much to live for, 1t is hard to realize that
Frank Newton's work is done. The blow
to the family can only be realized by
those who have passed through similar
experiences, and the sympathy of the
townspeople is theirs In their affilction.
Besides his father and mother, he leaves
sister, Miss Mary. a brother, Charles
h., widow, and an infant daughter five
weeks old. DR.. Frank Brownlee Newton
was born at Stafford Springs Dec. %,
1874. He was educated In our public
schools and graduated from the high
school In the class of '92. His high
school training was supplemented by a
course at the Norwich academy. Next
he spent two wears at Harvard and lotar
