GREENFIELD HILL.
DAVID E. DISBROW.


 David Burr Disbrow, one of the best known and most highly esteemed resi- dents of Greenfield, died at his home in the Banks South district, last Fri day night, at the age of " years and eight months. For several weeks he had been sufferer from an internal abscess in the vicinity of the bladder, but not until last week did his real condition become known and then his physicians announced that his case was hopeless one, that medical science was powerleSS to overcome the peculiar and dangerous condition that threatened his life. Friday morning he became unconscious and then it was seen that the end was near. Those W ho saw him in the full vigor of health year ago would hardly believe that 76 years had come and gone since the advent of his birth, so sprightly was his manner, so vigorous his step, ana that made him appear almost youthful and seemed to give him promise of a new lease on life. But it is the unex- pected which happens and the Script ural text again comes back to us with force that "In the midst of life we are in death." MT Disbrow was born in the town of EastOn, February, 1927, and at an early age he learned the car penter trade, vocation which he Suc- cessfully followed for nearly 50 years. About 45 years ago he married Mary B. Banks, daughter of the late Eben Banks of this place, and later moved to Greenfield, where he has lived ever since. Three children were born to them. all of whom are married and living within a close radius of their old home In the neighborhood where he was best known David 5. Disbrow will be remembered as man of ex- emplary character, upright in his deal ingS, a good neighbOr, a devoted hus- band and father and one who by req son of genial and even temperament was always approachable and ever ready to lend helping hand. The family, deprived of it's respected head. will long miss his worthy counsel and parental care The neighbOrhoOd, where for full generation he has gone in and out among us, will cherish his memory and forgetting his faults, will recall only the many virtues that made him an esteemed citizen and a useful man. The funeral was largely attended from his late home, Monday afternoon at ? o'clock: Rev Dr Cane of the Congregational church conducted the service. The pail bearers were John c. LObdell, Dwight B. Adams, Elmer F. Bulkley and H. Burr Ogden. Interment was at Oaklawn.
