Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1909-05-20


Rev. Howard j. Chidley, who was
graduated recently from the Union Theo-
logical seminary, sailed May from Phil
adelphia for England, to study for time
at oxford and then pass two months in
travel through the British isles. Next
year be will be assistant pastor OF the
Central Congl church OF Brooklyn. In
his pre-collegiate days, Mr.. Chidley
served the Christian church in Randolph
for while and he has also filed the posi-
ton OF superintendent Of the Vermont
Anti Saloon league.
Archibald MoMurphy and Luke Parish
have been looking up the graves Of sol
diers OF the Revolution and the War of
1912 and have found fifteen unmarked in
the Randolph Center cemetery. Mrs.
Hemeuway's Gazetteer gives the list OF
the 1912 soldiers, who marched to Platts-
burg, but the names OF the Revolutionary
heroes are not known. To mark in some
enduring way the graves OF these men
who served their country in her early
struggles to achieve Independence and a
certain place among the nations of the
earth would be work worthy OF the
Chanplain Tercentenary year.
The Randolph woman's Literary club
met Saturday afternoon at the home OF
Mrs. X. B. Mcintyre, who was assisted
by Miss Eta Harwood as second hostess.
Nineteen members and seven guests were
present. Quotations on "Success" were
given in response to the roll call. First
on the program Was a paper, entitled,
"The Marshall Field Company" by Mrs.
A. j. Curtis. "a Sketch OF Field" pre-
pared by Mrs. A. II. Powers, was read in
her absence by Mrs. W. p. Tow send of
Chelsea. An article on "John Wanamak-
er and his Mercantile Houses" read by
Mrs. z. q. Ham, closed the account Of
"Great Mercantile Enterprises" which
was the subject for the afternoon. It was
announced that the next meeting would
be held in three weeks, on June 5. The
usual social hour, when refreshments
wero served, closed the afternoon.
DR.. Fl. II. Hayward, who has been
practising medicine in Tunbridge with
success during the last nine years, has de-
cided to join the medical fraternity OF
Randolph and will open an office on the
second floor Of the Tewksbury block the
first of June. The doctor makes this
change in location in great measure on
account OF the educational advantages
this village has to offer his children and
because, his own boyhood having been
passed here, no other place appeals quite
so strongly to him as a home. He has
just returned from a course at the Post
Graduate college for physicians in New
York and will be worthy addition to
the corps Of surgeons and doctors, more
progressive and up-to-date than many
towns the size OF Randolph are able to
boast. DR.. Hayward's family will occu-
Ply the Hayward cottage on Pleasant
street, lately vacated by Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Carroll.
Sometime between the hours of and 8
Saturday afternoon, the house OF f. H.
Allis in Brookfield was entered and from
it were stolen a coat and vest, nearly
new, rain coat. good pair of shoes and
rubbers, a gold watch, pin and ring, re-
volver and about $50 worth of mileages.
In all, the value OF s75 was taken. Mr..
Allis had driven to this village, his wife
and daughter and Mrs. Nichols had gone
to neighbours and the hired man was
out in the field some distance from the
house. When Mr.. Allis reached home,
he went to the sitting room closet for
something and found his coat and vest,
raincoat, shoes and rubbers missing. He
then went upstairs and discovered that 6
desk had been rified and watch, pin,
ring, revolver and mileages were gone,
The thief found no money and evidently
had no use for feminine belongings; fol
Mrs. Allis watch, clothing and trinketi
were left untouched.
