BETHEL
THREE GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVER-
 SARIES

THREE GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVER-
 SARIES
 A golden wedding anniversary is not an everyday occurrence and the fact that there were three such observan- ces in Bethel, Wednesday, is very un- usual. The several parties are MT and Mrs Henry Clay Judd of Maple street, Dr and Mrs A. E. Barber of Center streer, and Deacon and Mrs William w. Sherman of Depot place. The marriages of the three couples took place the day before Thanksgiv- ing. November 24, 1854. Dr and Mrs Barber were married in another town: but the other two couples were united in Bethel by the same clergyman, but at different places. All of the parties have been for many years among the best known residents of this place and prominent members of the First Con. gregational church, and the event has been looked forward to by the church people, who had planned to give sthem an informal reception in the church, but owing to the ill health of some of the party, it was not thought advisable to carry out the ar rangement. MT and Mrs Judd cele- brated the event on Thanksgiving day at their home, while the others ob- served the occasion at their homes, WcdneSday.--N News.

ELLIOT MILES BEARDsLEY.

ELLIOT MILES BEARDsLEY.
 This community was saddened, last 1 week, by the sudden death of Elliot Miles Beardsley, who died very sud denly of heart failure at Buffalo, N. Y., Wednesday, November B, where he had been spending few weeks for his health. The body was brought to his home here on Friday, November 25. The funeral, which was one of the largest for years in these parts, was held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Grace Episcopal church, Rev MT Skene, the rector, officiating, as- side, former rector here. The church was crowded, among the audience be- ing many of the business men of Bridgeport. The bearers were Ebene- ger Burr, Jr., H. M. Knapp, Obediah Wheeler, w. 0. Wheeler, Henry Cars tesen of Bridgeport, David Wolcott, John H. Beach, and L: L. Stuart of Long Hill. The burial was in the. Long Hill cemetery. There were large number of floral tributes: MT Beardsley was son of MT and Mrs Miles Beardsley. Miles Beardsley was postmaster at Long Hill for many years, and also ran store here besides attending to his farm. His son, FL Hot Beardsley, was born September 26, 1858, being 66 years old, and made his home all his life at the old homestead. He received his education in the pub lie schools here and in the State Nor nal school at New Britain. At the age of IT he began teaching, having a school in Easton of this state and later at Savannah, Ga. When about 2l home to assist in carrying on the farm. June 3, 1863, he was married to Miss Mary $. Beardsley, daughter of MT and Mrs Ezra BeardSley of Monroe. In 1875 he represented the town of Trum- bull in the State Legislature, and was a member of the committee on cities and bOroughs. He was also for many years chairman of the democratic town committee, being democrat in politics. For four years he was school visitor beside holding other offices in Grace Episcopal church, being a con- stant attendant, a generous and faith full supporter. He had carried on the farm that his father left him very suc- ceSSfully and 1t would be hard to find a farm in better condition than his farm at Long Hill to-day. He had wide business acquaintance and being a man of generous and cheerful dispo- sition, was held in high esteem by all WOO kucW uliu. Hc was llTlu lTlcuu of THE BEE, being it's first subscriber in Long Hill. He was lover of all kinds of animals and was especially fond of horses and had owned and sold many very valuable animals. MT Beardsley leaves to mourn his loss, a wife and two sisters, Mrs James c. Johnson of Monroe and Mrs Marcus o. Wheeler of Bridgeport. He also has a very large circle of friends among whom he will be greatly missed.
