Stunning, friend of everybody. He was
a gentleman 'sof the old SCHOOL, whom

long and honorable life he has been gath
cred to his Fathers home. His wife,
Armina H., with whom he had lived 81
years, preceded him to their heavenly
home a little more than year ago. He
firmly believed that the joys of being re-
united to her and the ether members of
his family and the friends s7of his early
youth and mature manhood who had
passed "over the river" fully compen-
stated for the parting from those here,
whom he so dearly loved.
His married life was blessed with three
sons, Walter E., who died at four years
of age, William H. of Barre city, who

r. Co., and Frank E., who resides on the
old homestead. He also left one sister,
Mrs. w. L. Huntington of Barre.
The funeral was held from his old
home, where he had lived many years.
The Rev. Mr.. Strong spoke feelingly
from the text, John XI:2s, "The Master
is come and calleth for thee" which he
had chosen some months previous to his
death.
"And to me there is no sting in death,
And so the grave has lost its victory,
1t is but crossing with abated breath
And white, set face little strip of sea,
To find the loved ones waiting on the
shore
More beautiful, more precious than be-
