Death of Mrs. Sarah Young.

Sarah A., wife Of John Young,
Sr., died at her home in this city
on Wednesday, June 80, of enlarge
ment of the heart, after a short i'll
ness. Deceased who was born in
Seneca county NY, April 80, 1929,
was rs years, month and % days
of age at the time of her death.
In her young girlhood she re-
moved with her parents from New
York state to southern Michigan,
locating at Marshall, where, on
June Goth, 1848, she married John
Young. Thus death severed what
was a most happy union upon the
seth anniversary of the wedding
day.
In 1862 Mr.. and Mrs. Young re.
moved to Henry county, Iowa, and
resided there until 1878, when
they again turned toward the land
of promise-in the far west-and
located on homestead at the head
of the Almota, in this county. Here
they titled the soil until they had
earned the rest that diligence and
a well-spent life bring to advanc-
ing years, when they moved into
Pullman, where they have since
lived, and where the loving wife
and mother, kind neighbor and
loyal friend, closed her life's work.
She was the mother of five sons
Henry, Oscar, Frank, Fred, and
John, Jr., all of whom survive their
mother and live in this vicinity.
The funeral services were held
Friday, July LIST, at 2 p. M, being
conducted by Rev. Powell, of the
Baptist church. Interment was at
the I.O,O.F. cemetery.

Freight Wreck at Charlotte

AS the result of a collision between
the north bound sleeper from New York
and south bound freight train Sunday
morning, four freight cars were tele-
scoped, several thousand bushels of po-
tatoes were distributed about the sur
rounding territory, and an engine was
badly damaged.
The freight train was pulling on a
siding to clear the track for the sleeper
but failed to get out of the way on time.
AS result the sleeper crashed into the
rear cars of the freight, completely de-
molishing them. There We're half
dozen men in the caboose, but none of
them were seriously injured.
The cause of the accident is hard to
determine. Engineer Mason of the
sleeper supposed the freight was out of
the way, and, when he saw that the
freight had not cleared, applied the
emergency brakes.
The engine on the sleeper was badly
damaged but was not put out of COM
mission and was safely run to Burling-
ton.
No one on the passenger train was in
jured. The application of the emer-
gency brakes gave them an intimaton
that crash might be expected but the
contact with the freight was hardly
noticeable.

A Com m unication.

Who shall be sheriff? Since it became
known, during the recent term of the
Addison county court, that Sheriff Thad
NJ. Chapman did not care for another
election to the office of sheriff, there has
been good deal of talk and speculation
as to who should be Col Chapman's
successor. In the opinion of the writer
the logical successor to Sheriff Chapman
is and should be William II. Cobb of
Middlebury.
And let us see the reasons. In the
first place, Mr. Cobb has had a large
experience as a deputy-sheriff of this
county. That is to say, he has served
continuously as a deputy sheriff under
the last five sheriffs of the county, his
service covering a period of over 30
years. Mr.. Cobb has been the deputy
in charge of the jail for all this time,
and was, as every one will acknowledge,
the right hand man of Sheriff Isaac NJ.
Trip of New Haven, Col. Noble f..
Dunshee of Bristol, Howard Clark of
Lincoln, Kent w. Merritt of Shoreham,
and finally Col. Chapman of Middlebury
During the service of all these different
sheriffs Mr.. Cobb held the Jail, and at
times had some pretty hard characters
to deal with, as the records of the county
court would show, and he always came
out first best in the occasional unpleas-
antnesses with tough customers in his
charge. 1t is not necessary at this time
to go into particulars, but it may prop
erly be said that whenever and wherever
Mr.. Cobb was needed in his official capa-
city, he was always found to be Just
about there, and his work was efficient
all around the goal.
In addition to his 80 years of service
as deputy sheriff of Addison county, a
record which was never equalled in this
county and probably not in the state, we
may say for Mr.. Cobb that he served in
the 10th Vermont Volunteers for and
during the three hardest years of the
war and came back in much impaired
health. He has never been so good a
man again as he was when he went into
the service, and of course that was not
TO be expected. But he is now strong
and vigorous enough to conduct the
business of the sheriff's office, the greater
part of the duties of which has fallen on
to his shoulders for all this last genera
ton.
Mr. Cobb has been a member of vari-
GUS Masonic lodges for over 40 years and
is held in especial testeem among all the
affiliated bodies.
In speaking of Mr.. Cobb as he is, the
sketch of his career in Middlebury would
be utterly incomplete without a mention
of his worthy wife. Mrs. Cobb has had
charge of the culinary department of the
Jail ever since Mr.. Cobb has had the care
of the county institution, and the great
many good words said for her by the
many unfortunates who have had her
motherly care during their incarcera-
ton should and will rebound in a bless
ing on her head forever, without regard
to the heroism displayed by her on many
notable occasions.
To conclude, Mr.. Editor, it looks to
the writer that, while there are other
good men who may be mentioned for the
office, the proper and right thing to do
this year would be to make the nomina-
ton and election of MIR. Cobb as sheriff
unanimous.
