Our community was saddened on hear
ing of the death of George Heermon at
Barton Landing Jan. 8. Mr.. Heermon and
family moved to Barton Landing about
three months ago. George was born in
Coventry and lived here until that time.

schoolmates, a quiet young boy who had
no enemies. He was injured by fall
when quite young, making him a cripple
for life, and also great sufferer at times,
but he was always very patient. Much
sympathy is extended to the sOrroWing
father, mother, sister, and two brothers,
by their many friends. Funeral services
