Death of Mr.. Stanton.
II. l.. AVER,
A. A. HAWKINS
|. T. HARLOW.

The entire community was saddened
last Wednesday morning by the death of
one of it's oldest and most respected
citizens, Erastus A. Stanton. Although
in poor health for the last two years he
was unusually active for the past few
weeks, and seemed especially strong and
ambitious on Monday, retiring as well
as usual that night. A heart trouble
that developed Tuesday caused his death.
He was born May II, 1926 in this
town. In 1851 he went to California
with three brothers, returning in 1855,
when he bought the home place, where
he spent the remainder of his days
On March 8, 1858, he married Sarah
Jane Drew of this place, and three
children were born to them; Mabel,
Mrs. Charles G. Flint of ST. Johnsbury,
and Walter P, and Frank of this town,
who with brother, Henry, of Calfor-
mia, and seven grandchildren, survive
him. All of these were present except
his brother, and one grandson, Harry
Albert Flint, who is cadet at West
Point Military Academy.
Preparations were being made to cele.
brate the fiftieth wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton, the latter part
of this month, as for several reasons it
was impossible to observe the day on
the anniversary in March.
Mr.. Stanton was an active member
of the Free Baptist church and a con-
slant attendant as long as health per-
mitted. He was kind husband, a
loving father, and an indulgent grand
father, and one who will be greatly
missed. The funeral was held at his
home Friday afternoon at two O'Clock,
conducted by Rev. b. P. Parker, and
was largely attended. Music was
furnished by S. D. and W. B. Atwood
of St. Johnsbury. The beautiful
flowers from relatives and friends showed
the high esteem in which he was held
Mrs. Earnest l.. Clark, his grand.
daughter from New York City, Mrs
Minnie Wilmot, his niece, of Barton
Mr.. and Mrs. Ora Drew and MIR and
Mrs. Charles Weeks of St. Johnsbury
were called here by his death.

Memorial DAY.

This interesting occasion has always
been httingly observed at Concord, but
an unusually large audience filled the
auditorium of the Town Hall Saturday,
and listened with appreciative interest
to an excellent musical and literary pro-
gram. Woodbury. Post had charge of
the exercises, with ]. K. Bonett as officer
of the day and master of ceremonies,
position which he discharged in a
creditable and appropriate manner.
Prayer was offered by Rev. M. H.
Smith. Prof. H. H. May rendered For
the Red. White and Blue" in his imitable
manner. H. A. Joslin read the general
order of Grand Commander Tanner,
closing with Lincolns address at
Gettysburg Several appropriate selec-
lions were sung by the choir,
The principal interest of the occasion
conferred in the address, which was given
by Walter Milton May, principal of the
Bethlehem High School. The son of Prof.
H. H. May and descendant of one OF
the oldest and most respected families OF
the town, a self-made young man, who
has won excellent standing by meritorious
effort, our people naturally took unusual
interest in his address, and their high
expectations were more than realized.
Mr.. May referred appropriately to the
decreasing ranks of the Post. He then
presented clear and graphic statement
of the political movements of the ante
bellum period, which eliminated in the
attack on Fort Sumter and the uprising
of the North. The war established
national unity and race freedom. Many
great questions, financial, industrial,
moral, governmental, requiring for their
right solution the best craftsmanship
and the highest patriotism devolve
upon us, the legatees of a preserved
Union. Mr.. May closed with the quota
ton OF 1.-The Ship OF State" which he
rendered finely, and his entire address
was scholarly and instructive, and
delivered with good taste and oratorical
ability. J.. H. WALBRIDGE.
