Death Of Miss Emma CIafIIn.

Bethel people were shocked 20 learn Of
the death of Miss Emma Claflin, who
passed away Monday evening after a short
illness. it not being generally known that
her sickness was at all critical.
Miss Clahin was born in Hancock, but

about fifteen years. She attended the
Whitcomb High school, being then
member of the family of Mrs. g. E. Ora
ham. She then went to Childs' Business
college at Springfield. Mass, with Miss
Lucy NJ. Graham. Both young ladies
returned to Bethel and found employment
in the office of the Bethel Shoe company.
They built the house on River street now
owned by E. f. Cushman and lived
there for awhile. After the shoe shop
was closed, Miss Clafiin engaged in buy
ing country produce and last year bought
of Miss Mary E. Waller the old Waller
home farm on Royalton hill, where she
has since resided. She is survived by her
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Elias
B. Clafin, of Hancock and by the follow
ing brothers and sister':-Mrs. II. G.
Barnes and c. f. Clafiin of Bethel; Rob-
ert, Harry, Leon, Mabel and Jane Mrs.

Prayers were said at her late home

Woodbury. Company's Plans.

The Woodbury. Granite company has
begun work upon the extension to the
plant here. Easterly, or down river from
their present cutting shed, and one hun
dred feet therefrom, they are putting in
an overhead travelling crane. This will
run from the railroad land to the river, or
entirely across the property of the COM
pany. The tracks will be seventy-five
feet apart and supported by steel posts,
eleven in number, for each track, and
these posts rest on substantial piers
built of granite Down the river from
this structure is being built the new cut
ting shed. This shed is really three
sheds built in one, with one enclosing
wall and supported by posts in the interi-
or. This shed will be 255 feet up and
down the river and 1851, feet from the
river toward the c. V. Ry. Like the
overhead crane, this shed will be built on
substantial granite piers, sixty in num-
Der, located seventeen feet apart one way
and an average of about fifty feet the
other way. This shed will be built con-
siderably higher than the present shed
and will be equipped with three overhead
cranes instead of track running on the
ground as in the present shed. All the
machinery in the new shed will be of the
most modern up-tO-date pattern and oper-
ated by electricity furnished by the Gays
vile plant. Work is being pushed on
the new boarding house. 1t is expected
to have the travelling crane completed and
ready for use this fall and the other work
will be pushed as fast as the season will
permit, with the intention that the entire
work Will be done by May list.
