Death OF Hiram Stafford

Last Thursday afternoon at about
one O'Clock, occurred the death of
Hiram Stafford, one of Morrisville's
old ana highly respected citizens,
from the effects of complications,
growing out of brief attack of grip
He had been in poor health for about
II years and hai been failing notice
ably for several months. He was
confined to the house, however, only
about a week previous to his death.
The funeral was held last Saturday
afternoon from the home, Rev. G. G..
st. Glare of the Cong'l church officiat-
ing. The remains we're placed in the
vault at Pleasant View Cemetery and
will be inferred later In the family lot
in the Old Cemetery. The bearers
were as follows Frank Thomas and
E. l. Watrous of Morrisvile, Frank
w Sherman of Ludlow and Henry
Stafford of Burlington.
The deceased was born in Fairfield
seventy five years ago last July, one
of five children, three sous and two
daughters, of John and Mary Tiff
Stafford. He was a brother of the
late Darius Stafford and of Mrs. A. F.
Sherman, Ludlow, the only surviving
member OF the immediate family. He
was twice married, his first wife, who
died in 1865 being Miss Frances
French of this. town, sister Of Har-
Ian ?. French of Albany, n. Y. He
was united in marriage in March
1867, to Mrs. Martha Thomas Ferrin,
welI-kDoWn resident of Morristowu,
who survives him.
When he was a young man his
father moved to this place and was
identified with a brother, Jedediah

A Scholarly Sermon

Otto s. Raspe of Tufts Divinity
School, spoke in the Universalist
church Sunday morning upon the
parable of the Good Samaritan, bas-
ing his subject matter upon these
words from Luke 1896 81: Which
now OF these three thiDkest thou was
neighbor unto him who fell among
thieves ? And he said. He that
showed mercy unto him. Then said
Jesus, go, AID do thou likewise"
Beginning with the early history of
the Samaritans and continuing until
the time of our Lord, Mr.. Raspe de.
scribed the proposition which they
held according to the Jewish mind.
They were regarded as lower type
OF people and the two nations had no
dealings one with the other. Yet it
was the Samaritan who dressed the
injured mans wounds, moved him to
place of comfort and paid his ex-
penses till such a time as he should
be able to proceed on his journey
This the Samaritan did, while the
priest and the Levite passed by on the
other said, "We are not told why
they passed, but that they passed
Perhaps they had business, possibly
a previous engagement and all can
not stop to bind each unfortuDates s
wounds; but the despised Samaritan
found both time and impulse to show
mercy. There are to-day many kind
of thieves who rob their unsuspecting
victims of honor and reputation
while the world in the attitude of the
priest and the Levite passes by on the
other side but where are the Good
Samaritans to bind up the bleeding
wounds, show mercy and prove them.
selves worthy neighbors Here is
where the Christian church finds her
work to consider the example of the
Good Samaritan and go and do like
WISE"
The sermon was scholarly, practi-
cal and well delivered. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Raspe will speak again in
this church In two weeks-Sunday,
March 18th.
