CORNWALL.

We regret to learn of the ill health of
Rollin A, Foote, caused by inflammatory
rheumatism. Mr.. Foote was born Jan.
g., 1882. OF the men who were heads of
families twenty years ago in the old
district of the stone school house and
Lemon Fair, Mr.. Foote is the only one
living today. He has served his town 30
years as overseer of the poor, longer than
any other town officer. He has served
II years as lister, and was road commits
sioner for a number of years, building
the stone road up the hedges and nearly
to Middlebury. Mr.. Foote was first
elected road commissioner on the 18th
ballot on the second day of a March meet
ing which was continued until the follow
ing day. Mr.. Foote is a man of many good
qualities, always liberal in his support of
churche. or any worthy charity, kind to
the afflicted, a mar loyal to his friends,
and during his entire life a vigorous,
Woodworking and successful farmer.
Mr.. Foote has probably sold more ton of
hay than any nan in the county. He
has also made a specially of the sale of
agricultural implements and matched
horses. We hope he may be restored to
his old-time vigor, and spared to his
family and friends for many years yet to
come,
