Frederick ]. Neal. so. who died at his
home in Spofford, NJ H.. Wednesday, was
well known by people in Brattleboro and
other towns OF Windham county. Mr.
Neal came from Brooklyn about 10 years
ago TO work at Pine Grove Springs as
assistant chef. He married Miss Rose
Amsden OF Jamaica, who was also en-
ployed at Pine Grove Springs. Mr. and
Mrs. Neal assisted Mrs. F. H. Farr one
winter when she ran a boarding house
In Grange block. They had charge Of the
hotel in Chesterfield at one time and
afterward bought a farm In South New
fame, where they lived several years.
About a year ago they went to Spofford
where Mr.. Neal had been foreman of
the farm owned by B. F. Sutton OF
Brooklyn. Mr.. Neal is survived by his
wife and mother. TIE body was taken
yesterday to Southboro, Mass. for burial
Clarence NJ Miller had an excellent OPP
portunity to shoot a large and handsome
buck Saturday afternoon, but he was
not out for that purpose, and the animal
was IN Cheshire county, where shooting
OF deck is illegal throughout the year.
Armed with a 22-calibre rifle he went
out target shooting and while seated near
the river bank in the rear OF the Goodall
place the buck appeared on the New
Hampshire side and walked down to the
water TO drink After drinking he waded
leisurely into the river until the water
partly covered his body and began splash
ing the water with his antlers. He was
within easy range, and after watching
him several minutes Mr.. Miller fired into
the water just to let the animal know
that II was dangerous to be in sight In
the open season, whereupon the buck
bounded into the woods. Deer are seen
frequently in the Gulf road region and
other parts OF Chesterfield. Two bee
hunters claim to have seen a herd OF IL
at one time. and three to six deer have
been seen together repeatedly.
