WILLIAM n. KENDALL

The Lebanon, N. H., Free Press
says in sketch of the late William
NJ. Kendall, who died Oct. 81 at the
age of nearly 90 years:
That he made success of his
life is evidenced by his career as a
manufacturer and farmer, his last
days being spent in comfort as far
as worldly goods are concerned,
upon his fine village farm, one of
the most desirable in the town Of
his adoption. In his early man.
hood he married Roxana Babcock
of Taftsville, who was his devoted
companion until about I3 years ago,
when she departed this life. The
fruits of this union were four chill
dren, three of whom died at an early
age, the survivor being William M.
Kendall, now of Manchester.
After his marriage he resided in
Roxbury several years, then re-
moved to Taftsville, engaging first
ir the lumber business, having a
saw mill there, then in farming on
the farm since known as the Tracy
place. In 1867 he sold his property
in Taftsville and removed to Leba.
non, where he engaged in the man
ufacture of axes and scythes, hav-
ing as a partner the late Albro v
Emerson. After year or two he
sold his interest in the business and
purchased the farm where he has
ever since resided.
Mr.. Kendall was man Of marked
individuality, strong and generous
in his friendships, but if he felt him
self misused would defend what he
thought his right with the uttermos
determination. He was lite long
Democrat, a firm believer in the
Jeffersonian principle of govern
ment, never fearing to stand firml,
and fearlessly by his political belief
and doing much in financial wa
to aid his party.

1t is demonstrated fact that if
the Village fire belr' had been
wired with the Central Telephone
office that good Is minutes could
have been saved, not only for calling
the Fire Department to duty, and
workers to assist in saving carriages
stock at the fire of the Inn Stable,
but for warning "home owners to
protect their property.
Many fires were started from
sparks igniting among the leaves in
door yards and many roofs.
Should not these facts be sufficient
to teach the Village that time must
be saved in reaching "fire bell"
