THE DEATH RECORD.

Since our last writing two of those reported as seriously i'll of Dr R. A. Marcy's patients have passed beyond his skill. Mrs James Mitchell of the New Preston Hill society died at her home on Thursday evening of last week, aged 77 years, and Isaac Smith died at his home on Saturday morning. aged 76 years. Mrs Mitchell has long lived in this part of Washington town ship and has been for more than half a century faithful housewife. She was native of Irelapd and came here with her husband more than 40 years ago. AS a boy we remember her trudging regularly with her basket of eggs exchanging for groceries and trudging home again to care for her family as we'll as any mother could under similar circumstances. Her husband was an employe of the late Isaac Brown about his grist mill for many years till MT Browns death. Mrs Mitchell leaves, besides her hus- band, two sons, Michael, who still re- mains under the parental roof, and John, who lives on the late Mary A. Peck farm in Merryall; also one daughter, Mary, who is Mrs Fred Gris- wold of Bristol. Mrs Mitchell's fu- neral was attended at the Catholic church in New Milford on Saturday at II a. m. and burial followed in the Catholic cemetery near New Milford village.
 We cannot add to the knowledge of any who knew Isaac Smith. He has been resident of this vicinity for nearly 50 years. He was born in New Milford, July 14, 1928. He mar ried, about 1860, Mary A., daughter of the late George Taylor of Lake dis trict. Early in life he served as ap- prentice in the late Charles Noble's tailor shop in New Milford and fol- lowed that business for several years. When the Cheerie Point hotel was erected by the late George 0. Hitch cock, MT Smith became landlord of the same and continued there for sev-
