The death of DIR. AFRO Reynolds of
Tunbridge, which occurred at East Ran
dolph last Thursday, removes one who
passed much of his time in this village.
His first time here to make any con-
siderable stay was in the sixties when he
entered the office of DR.. Whitcomb for
the study of medicine. In later years he
was here with his parents and still later
with his brother, Edgar, but no time
losing his residence in Tun bridge unless
possibly during the Civil war, when he
was in Canada. He was a unique charac-
ter in life, an atheist and socialist in
politics, yet he was social, genial gen
tleman to meet and converse with. For
several years past he has been the leading
musician for junket dances, so-called, fur
nishing the only music with violin. He
was conducting one at Wheatley Camps
when taken ill.
DIR. E. j. Fish, who has been health
officer of Royalton for the past twelve or
fourteen years, has just been appointed
for another term of three years, but de-
clines to serve and will send in his
resignation some time this month. DR..
Ellis also declines to serve and the Office
will probably be filled by some one out
side the medical profession. DR.. Fish
bore large part in the enactment OF the
present laws of Vermont pertaining to
public health. The body of the present
code was thoroughly revised and re-
enacted in 1902. DIR. Fish represented
Royalton in the legislature that year.
! He was q member of the committee on
public health and was recognized as a
| leader in the House among those who
supported the measure. In 1904, he was
a senator from Windsor county and was
made chairman of the joint committee on
public health. Many important changes
and additions to the health and registra-
ton laws of the state were made that
year, some of which he framed and intro
duced. The DOCTORS resignation as
health officer will be regretted by the
people of Royalton.
