EDWARD c. AM EY.

I4lN dlu ~ ~ 'iNu ~ i''N'h' N''N''
Vermont, March 81, 1905, aged forty
four wears, two months and twenty
DAYS. lie was the son OF John T. and
Emily Haynes Amey, and was born in
Pittsburg, n. H., January IL, 1874. His
father, who died in 1850, and his moth
er. who still lives, were both people of
sterling character. They were pioneers
of the North and by their strict integ-
rity, industry, aud frugality, reared a
family of six boys, of whom Ed. was
the third, and accumulated respectable
amount of property.
Ed. early manifested superior intelli-
gence. At school he ont-stripped all OF
his fellow pupils and even his teachers
in the pursuit of learning; but an am
htion to get out into the world, make
progress, and earn money impelled him
to leave. He made rapid strides toward
wealth. At the age of twenty one, he
had accumulated respectable fortune.
He kept on increasing his property, nm
I'll he was reckoned as wealthy man.
The crisis OF 90, the depreciation in the
value of real estate in Lancaster and the
repeal of the silver purchasing act. swept
away his substance.
During his days of prosperity, all per
sons who knew him were his friends.
He disbursad charity with free hand.
| The poor and the unfortunate never
| called on Ed. in vain. The men for
whom he has done favors can be counted
! by the hundreds No selfish or sordid
motives ever beset him in his dealings
with mankind. Even in his last years
when overcome by fatal disease, his
social side was always bright, and he
greeted his friends cheerfuly and dealt
with them as generously as his impaired
fortune would permit.
The last years of his life were pecu.
liarly pathetic on account of his occa'
sonal struggles to recover his former
self. lie would use all his strength tc
arise from his abiect physical condition
and would become hopeful. At such
times his one best friend would picture
A bright future to him and help him
1 but alas he would go into the past and
remember his lost fortune; and thous
and unhappy incidents would arise,
thousand pensive regrets would strange
him and he would again, see nothing
but failure.
To one who knew him best, his deatl
and burial were extremely pathetic and
had deep and solemn meaning. While
as a brother, in the performance of my
duty to him, and to God, sat alone
with his body at my house in the still
watches of the night, sad and deathly
silence lowered over, with no noise ex
c.pt the clock on the mantle ticking GU
it's measures of time, | reflected upon hi
past so full of good deeds, until | wa
overcome with grief
At his funeral were some of his asso
ciates of former years. The stilnes
and lack of Grafton, and absence o
many friends, to me was sad, because
knew that as kind and generous ma
ture as ever lived had passed to the Grea
; BEYOND, always mindful that, opal
