The Welcome o. Brown Cemetery Asso-
citation, of which mention was made last
week, was incorporated under the laws Of
the state OF Vermont on Nov. 18TH 1894,
and was composed of the following mem
bers: Geo. 81. Blake, D. W. Robinson,
usti IN z i'm ball, r. B. Skinner,
f. w. Baldwin, H. K. Dewey, e. F.
Dutton, E. w. Barron, o. D. Owen, j. N.
Webster, Geo. 81. Davis, w. G. Brown, D.
w. Brown, B. NJ. R. Nelson, T. w. Drew,
o. 81. Mossman, H. Z. Pierce, H. r. Seaver,
WI. Robinson, R. s. Twombly, w. w.
Miles. In 1902, six members having died,
the following men were elected mem bers
OF the association: q. E. Hamb blet. w. L..
Jacobs, j. F. Batchelder, E. NJ Nichols.
o. ID. Rowell, 9. F. PercivaI. In 1903
another member having died A. s. Drew
was elected to take his place. This was
organized soon after T. c. Kimball had left
the sum of $4,000 in trust in the hands of
Geo. FL. Blake and D. w. Robinson the
income to be expended In improving the
cemetery. When the late Dr. R. B. SIX in
ner died he left 1900 in the hands of this
association the income to be used in caring
for twelve lots which he specified. Accord
ing to the bylaws of the association If the
sum of fifty dollars is paid into the treasury
by any lot holder it will secure he perma-
nent care of the lot. One party has already
made such payment and several others
have made provisions for the same. The
income of the money held by the associa-
tlon has practically all been expended in
improving and beautifying the grounds
and in this way the cemetery has been kept
in excellent condition. When the people
understand that this association is to be
kept up greater interest should be mani
tested and many will undoubtedly take
advantage of the opportunity to have their
lots cared for in the future by depositing
the required fifty dollars with the treas
urer, Mr.. o. D Owen.

work Of the Brownies, which brought
forth much laughter was well executed by
Mamie Ryan, Esther Bullock, Lora Jutras.
The wheel girls song "My Sweetheart
Rides Wheel" by Ruth Barron and Cor
