evening finished the graduation
week in an unusual way. The ho-
tel dining hall saw about seventy
four former students of the ole
Academy and high school seated
about the tables, while Landlord
Gale outdid himself to provide fol
the inner mans longings. The hum
of the informal conversations died
down as POSTMASTER DR.. VIM. O.

rival of the post prandial part OF
the program. The following toasts
met with hearty enjoyment and
applause
"The Hand of Fellowship" Chas.

ton.
An orchestra composed of Mes

business meeting. A new Alumni
Association was formed, and it was
decided that all graduates Of the
new high school and all who finish
ed the course in the old Bradford

MIR. ADELBERT OSBORNE.

The passing away of Adelbert
Osborne removes from our midst
one who was a familiar figure on
our streets for more than half a cen
tury. He first went into business
here in the fall of 1856 in the build
ing now occupied by the post office,
buying out l. d. R. Collins. Later
he removed toIthe old Hardy build
ing, which was burned during the
big fire of 1888. After the new
blocks were built on the site of
those destroyed by the fire, he oc-
cupied for a grocery store and ex-
press Office the place now used for
the same purpose by E. H. Nye, to
whom he sold out in 1896. He was
express agent for twenty-five years,
and in his business habits was very
exact and methodical.
In 1858 he married Lizzie R.
Towle of this town. He bought
the house now occupied by Mrs. G..
R. Jones, and resided there until
he built the present residence in
1872. His wife Lizzie died in 1879
leaving a son, Walter, now mar
ried and living in East Gloucester,
Mass. In 1885 he married Emma
A. Waterman.
For the last fourteen years he
had been in poor health, owing
principally to heart trouble. In
the fall of 1906 he had severe H.
ness, but later recovered sufficient
ly to be about the house. The fol-
lowing March he had a relapse,
since which time he has been prac-
tically confined to the house, some
of the time to his bed. On a few
occasions he rode a short distance,
the last ride being to the town
house to cast his vote for Taft in
the presidential election. June Sth
he had fall sustaining an injury
to his hip, causing intense suffering,
which he bore very patiently dur
ing his conscious hours. His last
words were expressive of his graft
tude to his wife for her untiring
care and devotion during the years
of his illness. Death occurred June
10th.
Funeral services were held at his
residence June 18th, the Rev. Mr..
Legg officiating with A. E. Hale in
charge. Burial was made in the
family lot.

2463 per cent. There were confin-
