He was employed by the Scovill Manufac- turing Go for 35 years where he held the position of foremamn in the press room until four years ago., when he left and accepted a position It Steele & Johnson's, remaining there until last March, when he was obliged to give 1t up on account of Ill health. He was a warm-hearted man who made friends with all who came in contact with him and held them to the end.
