in that town and was Identified with its
interests. His sister, Mrs. Barbara
Lathrop of Grand Rapids, Mich, is the
only survivor of the five children Of
Spencer and Clarissa Alvord, Sidney, Mrs
Clarissa Hitchcock and Mrs. Rhoda Smith
having died several years ago. The AL
word family with its various branches
was among the oldest and most esteemed
families in town. Adna, as he was COM
monty called was of kindly and genial
disposition, full of wit and good humor
and had a pleasant word for everyone he
met. Few men were as well beloved as
he was
In August, 1874, Mr.. Alvord married
Sarah s. Blssell, daughter of Asahel Bis
sell, who a century ago, moved from
Amherst, Mass, and bought one Of the
best farms in town, with house upon It
that then was and probably now is the
largest farmhouse in the county. 1t has
been the scene of more than a hundred
Thanksgiving festivals when the children,
with wondering eyes, never failed to ex-
plore the countless rooms stairways, halls
and closets. and mysterious passages
leading to still undiscovered realms The
old house has seen children, grandchil-
dren, great and great-great- grandchildren
come and go, while 1t remains as plumb
and as strong in sill, cross beam and
jolst as when It sheltered Asahel and
Polly Bissell and saw their nine children
born, grow up and enter upon life's duties.
In this house the young couple were mar
ried. Mr.. Alvord passed the last 30 years
in the quietude of his home in Brattle-
boro. His wife. one year his Junior, was
able to minister to his wants In his last
sickness. Their married life of GO years
was one full of all sweet accord"
Mr.. Alvord always maintained a strong
affection for the Congregational church
in Wilmington. Since his removal to
Brattleboro he has been a supporter of
the Centre church. An honest man with
a great heart has passed away, esteemed
by all who knew him.
