mother went TO the authorities and
urged her dependence upon him so
strongly (stating however, II the coun.
try needed him more than she did to
take him) that he was not mustered
into service. Some twenty years ago

I
SALISBURY. For two or three years
he conducted store at Center Shafts
bury but preferring the quiet of farm
life soon relinquished mercantile pur-
suits. For many years he has been
