This community was saddened
Tuesday morning to hear that little
Jesse Stockwell, who had been i'll but
short time, had died Monday night.
Jesse was the village favorlte, aud as
be sat in church only few Sundays ,
ago and listened TO an excellent advent ,
sermon aud seemed so interested in all
parts Of the service, we little thought
that he would so soon be called from
the changing scenes Of this life to the
rest Of paradise. The sympathy Of the
community is with the bereaved par
ents and the grandfather and grand
mother who so tenderly cared for him
during his brief illness,
