HENRY S. ATWOOD.

Henry s. Atwood, son of Joel At wood, was born September IT, 1923, in Watertown, where he spent his early life. He received his education at the public schools of the place and later finished with course of study at Amenia Seminary, N. Y. He married Harriet M. Wheeler of Southford, De- cemDer 26,' 1847 and settled in Middle bury, where they spent 5 years togeth- CT. Five sons and five daughters were added to their home, all of whom are still living,- Joseph w. and Charles w. Of Watertown, Joel H. of Woodbury, Homer W. and Dwight M. of Middle bury, Mrs Samuel Peck and Mrs Will liam Burton of Watertown, Mrs Henry Stiles of New Haven, Mrs John Minor of Roxbury and Miss Sarah Atwood of Middlebury. MT Atwood was man of unblemished character, of strict in tegrity, his word once given was never shaken. Honora ble in all his deal to to the letter, his judgment was in- fallible. Naturally transformations IOOll IbS ouU ol IIldI hCO OuSlllCSS ability. Fearless in disease he has been known to minister to his neighbOrs afflicted with the most malignant dis ease, where others dared not enter.
 He has been devoted husband and father, always responding quickly t. any afiiction in the families of his sors and daughters and now it has beer their privilege to minister to him dur ing the three weeks of his illness. Ht was active in business. The week as juryman butowing to failing health was excused. He was strictly temper ate, the use of spirits or tobacco in an! form was unknown to him and the same can be said of the five sons who | have followed the example of their father in this respect. Of mild tenn per he was always charitable in his judgements of others faults, guarding we'll his speech at all times. All through his last illness he manifested the utmost patience, never murmurine but readily acquiescing to those who ministered to him. He passed away calmly and peacefully, conscious to the last on Sunday, November 15. He has been an active member of the COngre- gatiohal church for nearly 30 years. His wife died August 15, 1902, in the 18th year of her age.
