| Harvey Prouty, commonly known as
Judge Prouty, died suddenly here Tuesday
morning. About eight months ago MIR.
Prouty bad his foot amputated on account
| of trouble which threatened his life, and
1t is supposed the shock which carried
him away was of the nature which caused
the former trouble. Mr.. Prouty was born
In Waterford sixty-nine years ago. His
early life was spent In Littleton, N. d.,
but he has lived In this vicinity many
years. He spent four years as soldier In
the army, when he was honorably dis
charged. Mr.. Prouty was bright, genial,
intelligent man, man without an enemy.
He was full of pleasantly, good humor,
and the life OF any company where he was
present. He was a natural poet, and has
written many beautiful poems, though too
modest to have them published. The
funeral was held here last Thursday; Rev.
E. P. Rose officiating, quoted a verse OF
one of his poems, which was written about
the lake where Mr.. Prouty spent his last
days:
"Nestled down between the mountains,
Hemmed by rocks and forests wiid,
FED by Gods eternal fountains,
Sleeps the lake-'tis natures child" =
He leaves to mourn his loss his two broth
ers, G. W. Prouty of Springfield, ILL, and
E. w. Prouty of Clarenaont, N. H., and
his two sisters, Mrs. Emily 81. Tute OF
