There died recently at Austin, Mimi, at
an advanced age, woman formerly well
known in Bethel, where she resided many
years, and where she gave four sons to her
country's cause, Mrs. Esther b., widow of
Lorenzo ID. Fairbanks.
A Minnesota paper handed the COURIER
by NJ. A. Moody, contains the following
Esther b. Bowen was born in Barnard.
VI, May II, 1S0S. In 1928 sne was married.
TO Lorenzo ID. Fairbanks at Barnard and
Tor many years New England was their
home. In 1869 they came to Minnesota
ana settled on a farm at Saints Rest.
Here Mr.. Fairbanks died in 1857, but the
mother and son, Alfred, remained until
1891, when they removed to Austin.
mine children were born to MIR. and
Mrs. Fairbanks, two dying in infancy and
two, Henry A. ana Alfred, in manhood.
The surviving children are Alonzo of
Blooming Prairie, Luke b. of Austin, John
of Austin, Charlie of Boston and Mrs. A.
ID. Denison OF Austin. To the devotion OF
her children, the brightness of the last
years of her life has been due.
THE history Of the life just closed is
closely interviewer with some of the most
stirring events in our nations history. To
her belongs the fortitude of the patriot
mothers who bravely and with true hearts
saw their sons go forth to fight in our
country's cause. Her sons, Luke and
John, enlisted in 1861 in Co. +, Third Yer
mont Volunteers. Luke was wounded at
Lees Mills while acting as captain, and
John, as corporal at fredericksburg,
was brought home with an ugly wound.
Yet in 1862 Alfred and Charles. boys but is
and IL years Of age, were given to their
country service. These were among the
outward acts that made the life OF the
mother heroic. These no less than the
numberless acts which make up the round
ed life Of every human being will be re-
membered by those who knew and loved
her. Patient, courageous and devoted,
her life blessed all that it touched. The
rest and reunions that she longed for are
well deserved and will indeed be sweet.
"Ihe funeral Of Mrs. Esther B. Fair
banks took place from the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Denison, on Nassau street.
The services were conducted by Rev. An
derson OF THE Baptist church, assisted by
Rev. Someryille Of the Episcopal church.
All of the children excepting Charles Of
Boston were present. Iii health prevented
his attendance. The Baptist choir fur
nished the music and the remains were
laid tenderly 20 rest in lakewood Gene

Letter TO J. p. Cleveland,
Randolph, Vermont,

Dear Sir: Your business is, when a
house burns down, to give the owner some
money to build a new one. Ii is a good
business. Queer that the world got on so
long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down and
the new one too. What is better, ,ye paint
the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that hurn;. we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours.
We paint Lead and Zinc; Deyoe. We
sell the paint to painters we don't paint.
Lead and oil is the old-fashion paint.
Deyoe is zinc ground in with the lead and
linseed oil: the best paint in the world /:
and the cheapest, because it takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and it wears
twice as long as lead and oil. Nobody
wants poor paint; there's lots Of it, though,
in the world.
A. NJ. Griffen, Plainfield, n. j., writes:
Mr. Aaron Higgins, Of PlaInleld, always used
IS gallons Of mixed paint for bis house. Last
spring he bought Is gallons Of Devoe and had
gallons left,
Yours truly,

this vicinity. One barn has been entirely
rebuilt and in the house a furnace has
been installed, bath room, hardwood
floors, etc. The house itself was built by
McKenstry about ninety years ago and
was one OF the best houses constructed
around here at that time. Mr.. McKenstry
was one OF the monied men of the time,
one who always had money by him, and If
anyone wanted a loan Mr.. McKenstry was
the man TO whom he went. The town
records are full Of mortgages taken by
him. The farm was in the hands of the
Wilson family for fifty years, from about
1853 to 1902.

Granlte Roadways.

The Bethel seleetmen examined the pro-
posed routes for a road 20 the quarries last
week, going over all the routes There
were three ways proposed. The first was
through the +. FELTON, farm and by the G.
l.. Sanders farm, coming into Bethel vil-
lage from the north. In order for the
granite on the lower part Of the Ellis
quarry to come out this way it would be
necessary to draw up quite a hill. The
other two ways start out from the foot OF
the hill below the quarries and pass im-
mediately south on nearly level land, one
bearing slightly toward the east and cross
ing the farm OF w. G. Baker, and the
other bearing slightly towards the west
and reaching the main highway north OF,
and above, the farm buildings of w. G..
Brooks. The Baker route is a somewhat
shorter way to the village, but the Brooks
route does not pass through such valuable
farming land and the land damages would
be considerably less. No decisive action
has been taken as yet, but the probabilities
are that the Brooks route viii be taken.
Both the Brooks and the Baker routes
would lead into Bethel village from the
south.
The selectmen last week also made ex-
animation in regard to proposed road to
reach the lands across the railroad from
Robert Mobiles farm. There is no road
now TO reach either the lands Of the Wood
bury Granite Co. in Bethel or the electric
light plant in Royalton. For the past two
years the electric light people have reach
ed their plant through a trade made by
the Royalton selectmen with Mr.. Noble, |
the town of Royalton paying Mr.. Noble |
s25 for the right of the electric light peo-
pie to cross his land. This saved Royalton |
the expense OF building a road from the |
public highway to the electric light land. |
It is now proposed that the towns OF |
Bethel and Royalton unite in laying COM
mon road that will serve both the lands of |
the Electric Light Co. and the Woodbury. /
Granite Co. This road will probably have
TO cross the farm of Mr.. Noble, either in
Bethel OF Royalton.
