The news of the death of E. /. Kilburn
the architect who has lived here the past

been in Wallingford this summer erecting
the town hall building. The funeral is
being held this afternoon at the Hotel
Wallingford, his temporary home.
The information contained in the fol-
lowing press despatch, dated at Walling-
ford Wednesday, was given to friends over
the telephone at once after the accident
occurred.
Edwin /. Kilburn, a prominent con-
tractor and builder of Bellows Falls, who
has been engaged In building the new
town hall in this village since the LIST
OF August, while relaying a staging at
o'clock, fell from the roof of the build
ing to the ground below, and was almost
instantly killed.
Mr.. Kilburn had gone on the roof tc
direct his men, when the staging upor
which he was standing gave way, and he
was precipitated over the edge of the
roof He made an unsuccessful attempt
to catch a rafter while going down.
Frank Towsley saw him fan and in
stantly summoned aid. Drs. w. e
Stewart and e. " Marshall arrived within
five minutes after the accident, but Mr.
Kilburn died about ten minutes later. 1
