Green wood.

We visited Mr.. Green's former home
on hearing of his loss by fire, found him
and part of his family still there,
while his wife and the other children
had gone to their nearest neighbors.
The buildings consisted of house, ell
and stable, the latter situated a short
distance away, but all went together,
also several young and thrifty fruit
trees standing near the buildings were
destroyed. The fire caught in the up
per part of the house, but as the chin
ney was built from the bottom of the
cellar and perfectly sound its origin is a
mystery.
Two years ago last April Willard Her.
rick passed away, leaving widow and
four children, two of whom were sons,
the youngest unmarried and living al
home. Soon after Mr.. Herrick's death
the widows health began to decline and
80 continued until the 10th inst, when
she followed her husband to the pale
realms of shade. Funeral Thursday, the
18th, managed by Alva Andrews OF
South Woodstock; divine services by
Rev. Seth Benson of West Paris.
When Mrs. Herrick's health failed SO
she was no longer able to do the house
work her son Ralph soon found that his
only alternative was to procure other
help, which he did by getting married
with the result that he is the husband OF
very pretty wife, and the father of a
sweet eight months old girl baby.
Hence the change that has occurred in
that family during somewhat more than
two years, is the same that Is going or
continually and everywhere, but moi
always so conspicuous.
Newell Peabody, whose death was re-
ported last week, died very suddenly or
Friday, the 10th inst. He was at work
in the field with a neighbor, and about
the middle of the forenoon was stricken
with an apoplectic fit as the doctor call
ed it. He was removed to the house
and although everything possible wa,
done to give relief, he passed away dur
ing the afternoon. The funeral occurred
on the following Sunday, the manager
and clergyman being the same as those
who officiated at Mrs. Herrick's funeral
on the previous Thursday. Mr.. Peabody
was present on that occasion, was ont
of the bearers and assisted in depositine
the body in its last resting place. Little
did he or any of US think at that time
that within the space of three days the
same funeral rites would be performed
over his remains. He leaves a widow
and two daughters, one grown to woman
hood and the other little girl of abou
six years. Although living at the time
on Patch Mountain his legal residence
was in Albany.
