Death of Col. G. S. Barrett.


Died, in Cleveland, Ohio, June 20, Col.
Curtis Sawyer Barrett, aged SO years.
Col. Barrett was born in South STRAIT
ford in 1889, and was the only child of
the late Hiram and Hannah (Moore) Bar
rett. His early life was spent in his ma
tive village until the proper time came
for him to receive better educational adj
vantages, when he became a student of
Norwich university. After several years
there, he went to Cleveland, Ohio, where
he had made it his home for many years
engaging in several lines of business in
which he was very successful. He main
tanned an active life until its close. On
Saturday, June 20, evidently feeling as
well as ever, he had prepared to retire
and, while sitting in his chair awaiting
his valet, he suddenly dropped his head
and was gone.
Brief funeral services were held at
Cleveland on Monday, and immediately
friends started for Vermont with the re-
mains, that they might be laid by the
side of his father and mother.
On Wednesday last, June "a, funeral
services were held in the Universalist
church at South STAFFORD. The Rev. DR..
George w. BiclneII of Cambridge, Mass,
had been summoned to conduct the serv-
ices, which consisted of Scripture read
ing, prayer, remarks and poem, and the
singing of three selections by Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Hazelton. Quite a large con-
gregation was present to testify its re-
spect for the departed. Fifteen gentle
men from among the business associates
and close friends of the colonel came
from Cleveland, Philadelphia and New
York to attend the services. The floral
n M ho oct Of
Cleveland, were many and beautiful. At
the grave the usual committal ritual was
used, the interment being in the ceme-
terry adjoining the church.
Col. Barrett was of rather a quiet and
unassuming nature, yet genial and warm
hearted. One must have been well ac-
quainted with him to know his real
worth. He had generous disposition,
which. oftentimes manifested itself
toward the poor and unfortunate. Just
so far as he could, he did not let his right
hand know what his left hand did. He
disliked ostentation and display. He
was strong friend to those in whom he
believed. He was en- honest man in
feeling and act. His word was as good
as his bond. In the city of his adoption,
he was highly esteemed as citizen. In
his native town, which it was his custom
to visit once year, he was much respect
ed. Several years ago he built and en-
dowed in memory of his parents, the
beautiful Barrett Memorial hall. which
stands in a conspicuous place in the vii
lage, that the people of STAFFORD might
have suitable place in which to hold
concerts, lectures and other entertain
ments.
He was generous towards the church OF
his parents, DESTROYS of having it kept in

they did not want. In order to meet
that objection and for the further rea'

 "No, but his darter is, and mighty fine woman to. She's got the biggest and best stocked farm in the county and plenty O money in the bank"
 "Want t know. Is she married?"
 "No; she hain't no use fer man except to make money out of him. Can't any of lem git the better of her in trade"
 "Want t know. How did she git her start? When I lived in Pistonrod ole Younkers farm wasn't more'n seventy acres, fifty cleared, and the stock was one spavined horse and a cow"
 ''That seventy acres he's growed to a thousand now, all cleared, two big barns full O grain and stock. Sairey Younkers turned out to be a heap good manager"
 "Dew tell? How'd she do it?''
 "Waal she got her start when she was bout twenty years old and purity as bran new mowin' machine. Bout that time most O the young men in the neighborhood wanted to marry her. Far back as 1 kin remember hearn all the wimmin folks and most O the men talkin' ! tt two young fel- lers that was bot S0ound to git her. They said Sairey he'd agreed to take the best man O the two. As the way they was to find out which was the best man Sairey set 'em a job. The ole man he'd just died, the ole woman wasn't no good, and there wasn't no one to do anything except Sarey, and she didn't hev nothin to do it with except her good looks, and good looks in a gal don't count except to git a husband that's worth suthin'. But there wasn't no sich in Boulder coun- ty, so it was cold time for Sairey. "Howsomedever. she said that since her ole pop had died and left her and her mother in bad way she'd got to hey man as could build up the farm Eff she got lazy galoot to set roun and whittle it 'ud be mighty hard on her. It happened to be plowin' time. She tole Feb Mower and Jake Marks that whichever could blow ten acres fust she'd marry. Jist as you said, there want but fifty acres cleared, and twenty O this needed plowin' She di- vided 'em into two equal parts, one for Feb and t'other fer Jake. Both on 'em was awful bent on gittin' her, and their pride was teched. Besides, nei ther was willin' to refuse on account O tother. Sairey had to borrow two horses fer em and one blow. She started 'em one fine April mornin'. l was there with a lot O neighbors tc see 'em start, and all the time they was plowin' people was comin' and goin' watchin' 'em, while Sairey was a-smilin' on both of 'em and bringin 'em out things to eat and drink. "Waal, when they come to the end O the match it was tie. Both got through at the same time, and both fell down exhausted. Sairey give 'em both drink and tole 'em they was the finest fellers she ever seen. She seem
