 MT. and Mrs. R. Back left this week to occupy their home in South bridge. While they go to new house, a pleasant town and have many friends in southbridge to well come them there. it is with reluctant effort that they left Union, and a pleasant home and farm. MT. Back built the house in Union for his bride; they have kept house there all their married life; their children have grown up and gone into the world, taking their place in promi- hence in business and society. Mrs. Back has been a co.worker in the Con- gregational society at the Center, until health would not permit her usual activity. MT. Back was one of the solid men of the town, identified with the towns affairs, it's offices, both locally and in the general assem- bly,, large land owner. and has en- gagged extensively in the lumber business The American families have grown less and less in the town, in the last few years especially, and especially the older and solid fami. lies. It is with regret that the friends here see the Backs leaving, although they wish them happiness and comfort in their pleasant home at Southbridge, and feel that the con- veniences and comforts of town life to those we'll along in years will prolong thei r lives.
