born in Stratton July 8, ISIS, and was an
uncle OF Mrs NJ Bills and Mrs Joel
Grout and cousin of Deacon Grout Of
this place died in Franklin Neb.. on
April 20. The Sentinel (Nebraska) SAYS
he was a man of remarkable character
and perfect physique, and this, coupled
with a will of iron. made a vast amount
of work possible. He studied At Manches-
ter academy and graduated from Middle

with his bride, as missionary to Missouri
He filled acceptable pastorates in Illinois
Iowa and Nebraska, organizing the

ton in the latter state and was pastor in
Franklin for - years. He was a trustee
in an academy and greatly interested in
the cause of education, and left his mark
as a faithful minister and educator He
is survived by his fourth wife and an
adopted son, James Grout, of Macon
Prairie.
Rev. Mr.. Grout was the studious lad Of
seven years, of whom it has often been
related that he was lost in wandering
over the Green Mountain range finally
coming out near Arlington. When asked
by a man where he was he answered
Africa" which was the nickname of the
place. Then quoth the man. And where
do you live?" "Stratton, North America. e"
said the lad, who, though bewldered, was
well versed in geography. 1t was not far
from this time when the father and moth
er persisted in a snowstorm on the noun
tain. An old poem in the reading books
told the story they carried a baby which
lived. THE babe looked up and sweetly
smiled" when found in its mothers
arms. These two stories were told for
many year by mothers to their chill
dren.
