LANDMARK IS GOING Old Christ Church in West Ha- ven is to be Re-
 moved. ERECTED BACK IN TAO Reconstruction as Mission Nearer the Shore Will be its
 Destiny.

West Haven will lose an old lana mark from it's center when the old Christ Episcopal church building is re- moyed, to be reconstructed nearer the shore. as is being planned. This church is the oldest Episcopal church standing in Connecticut and is the oldest Epis- copal church built in the state, except the one in Stratforj, which was torn down a few years ago. Its date of erection is TAO.
 It is to be used, after its reconstruc- tion for q mission. The same mater ial IS nearly as possible, will be used, as was put into it almost 200 years ago.
 There are many historical memories connected with it, which will never be forgotten. Among other things ot i'm portance that happened was when sev- eral of the Yale professors went over to Episcopacy during the middle of the eighteenth century, This created a great deal of interest at the time anc this church figured prominently in the question.
 There are few who have passed through West Haven without noticing the quaint old fashioned country churchyard, and it will be greatly missed.

Although i'll for some time her sickness was not made pub lie, and few had any idea that the life of Mrs. Ives, which was so full of be- nevolent acts, was slowly but surely be specially felt by many who were recipients of her benevolence and charity Among her more important bequests are the sSO0,000 for a new public library for the city, generous gifts and contributions to the Y.

 Mrs. Ives had lived a life of retire. ment and quiet doing of good deeds.
 When young girl she married Hoadley B. Ives. president of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad com pany, president of the Connecticut Savings bank and prominent in many enterprises in the business world.
 After his death Mrs. Ives spent much time in Europe, and it was on her return from an extended tour abroad that she made the gift to New Haven, whose consummation she could not live to see.
 A life like that of Mrs. Ives, so rich and full of good deeds. touching so many other lives and leaving its pow erful impress, endures long after the grave, and its memory is always sweet. Her depth of soul was too great to be measured by mere words,
