THE CHENEY FAMILY
Five Members Over Sixty and Under
Seventy Years of Age.

Lamoille County is notable for its
large number of residents who have
reached an advanced age and still en-
JOY good health and participate fully
in the pleasures of the younger gener-
alton and possibly an investigation
into the ways Of living and habits of
the residents up here in Splnky La
noble, might furnish a solution OF
the race suicide problem so much dis
cussed by people of the present day.
Interesting facts concerning the
Cheney family, well-known in La
noble County, will serve as good
illustration of the above assertion.
George A. Cheney of Morrisville, an
almost lifelong residence of Lamoille
county, and the father of A. L.
Cheney, the popular druggist, is one
of a family of five brothers snd sis
tiers, all over so and under 20 years
of age. The members of the family
are Mrs. Olive E. Corliss of Oxford,
N. H., 50 years of age; William j.
Cheney of Stowe, 67 years of age
Mrs. Jane l.. Watts of Stowe, IS
years of age ; George A. Cheney OF
Morrisvlle 81 years of age, and Ed.
win X Cheney OF Anderson, Ind., who
passed his Goth birthday, Dec. %
The three brothers are all veterans OF
the Civil War William served three
years in Co. D, 18th Vt. Reg; George,
two years in Co. B, 4 h VI. Rig, and
E Twin, 10 months in Co. B, 4th Vt
Reg.
These are the sons and daughters
of William R Cheney and i've Saw
age Cheney, late OF Stowe, who were
the parents of II children, all of
whom were born in Stowe. OF these,
six are now living, the youngest being
Albert Il. Cheney, the genial Stowe
postmaster. The father. who was a
prosperous farmer and lumber dealer
10 Stowe died in 1881 the mother
died in 1900 at the advanced age of
81 years, and Judging from the ease
with which the local representatives
of the family bear the weight of years,
her children now living bid tair to
equal If not surpass that age.

Two Basket Ball Games

Last Thursday evening at the Nor
risville Gymnasium Peoples Acad-
envy and Edmunds High School of
Burlington met for the first time this
season and the latter won by score
OF 80 to Ia. The game was interest
ing and although the visitors won by
a large margin, the P. A. boys put
up good fight. The visitors excelled
in passing the ball and showed more
training in the fine points of the
game. Notwithstanding the fact
that Fisk played good game at
center, P. A. suffered noticably by the
absence of Calvin Woodward, his bas-
ket throwing being especially missed
Stafford did great work in throwing
goals, making ten from foul line and
one from the field. Fisk made the
other basket. TIE scores for the Wis
