CAT GUARDS DEAD HERMIT.
Yellow Feline Is Found Perched on
Masters Body.

Wincsted, Conn-Charles Church
76 years old, who when young became
a hermit as the result of being disap
pointed in love, was found dead and
frozen in his home in BlandfOrd
Mass, near here by his nephew, James
Babb of Otis, who had gone to the
place to see how the old man was get
ting along.
The hermit's only companion, vel
low cat, was found half starved, lying
on the body. Death is supposed tC
have resulted from paralysis.
Church did not believe in banks, and
boarded his money in his home. Viii
lis Church of Colebrook River, his
brother, and DR.. Horace Ward of New
Boston found between $500 and $500
of the hermit's money secreted in diff
ferent parts of the building. Twenty
silver dollars were found in a bag
containing turnip seed; larger
amounts were sewed in clothing, and
various sums were in kettles and 9th,
er receptacles.
Recently, when Willis Church called
on his brother, the old man seemed to
realize that he was nearing death
for he told him where he had
buried gold and tin box full of
money.
