more serious duties that fell upon her,
and from that time on until she went to
Waitsheld she was indispensable in the
home of her father and brother, She
graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy
in the class OF 1894. Mrs. Jones was a
woman of rare character and attract
iveness In Waitsheld, where her in
terests have centered the past few years,
she was one of the most admired and
respected among the young people, which
fundamentally have been true wherever
her home might have been, because OF
her ability and cheerfulness Of manner
which always made pleasures of her
duties Her father died about five years
ago, and she leaves beside her husband
a daughter, Ruth Baker, aged six years
and one brother Richard c, Baker, o.

EAST ST. JOHNSBURY.
Death Of Mr.. Potter.

The East Village community was
greatly shocked on Tuesday morning,
Feb. IS, to learn of the death of E. p.
Potter He had been in his usual health
until about one week before his death,
when he was taken with what was sup
posed to be the grip, but hopes of his
recovery were entertained until the last,
Mr.. Potter had been a resident of East
St. Johnsbury for a period of so years,
and had become closely identified with
all that made for its best interests. He
was born in Kirby, May 30, 1856.
Nhen about seven years of age he came
to this place and ever after made it his
home. Mr.. Potter married Tor his first
wife Miss Edna Stiles. who died some
years ago. He was again married to
Miss Ella Flower, who survives him.
He held the office of selectman in the
town of St. ohnsbury for a term of five
years, but what is of vastly more inter
est to his friends was his modest, unpre-
tentous home and community lite. He
was awakened to a Christian experience
when about Is years OF age, and united
with the Congregational church here,
where he ever after loved to worship,
and loved to see the cause of righteous
ness prosper. The experiences of early
life ripened into a closer walk with God
as the years advanced, and his insight
into spiritual things was often surpris-
ing. His relations with the church were
something more than nominal member
ship. He used to the best of his ability
what talents had been given him and
whatever office he held in the church he
despatched with efficiency. For thirty
years he sang tenor in the village choir
without compensation. When he was
offered salary elsewhere he refused it,
feeling his duty was to his own people.
In whatever thing he identified himself
with he will be missed, for when once
Mr.. Potter undertook a thing no one
had any fears of the results. As it was
said of another. He was gentle and the
elements SO mixed in him that nature
might stand up and say 10 all the
world this was a man.
Mr.. Potter leaves large circle of
friends A. evidence OF thus we note the
floral tributes upon his casket and what
is even more convincing, the humble
speak kindly of him. The funeral was held
Fl ON his late home, his pastor, Rev. E.
E. Grant, officiating. The choir with
which he had been constantly associated
for an unbroken period of rs years, sang
Pace to Face" by F. c. Harrington.
This was the last selection Mr. Potter
ever sang for the public and that only
the Sunday before he was taken sick.
Interment was in Grove cemetery. He
leaves his aged father, |. c. Potter, now
sc years of age, his wife, Mrs. E. p.
Potter, his daughter, Mrs. Malloy.
Those present from out of town were
Mr.. and Mrs. Malloy of Nashua, n. H.,
John Flower and daughter from Lyn-
donville, H. K. Flower from Newport, A.
G. Flower from Merrimac, n H., and
Mr. Stoddard from Peacham.
Frank Drew has sold his farm to Job
Damon of North Concord, and Mr.. Drew
has bought Arthur Olcutt's house in the
village. Mr.. Olcutt has not yet decided
where he will locate.
