Rev. William Wylie was born al
Baldernock, Scotland, Mar. 18th
1912, and died at Newbury, VT.
July 16, 1909. He came with his
parents to South Ryegate in
1850. He was educated at New
bury Seminary, Meriden, and
Theological Seminary in Phila-
delphia. He began preaching in
1874 as assistant pastor to DR.. j.
N. Mcleod, of the Twelfth Street
Reformed Presbyterian church,
New York city. At the death of
DR.. Mcleod, he assumed full pas
torate. He married Miss Susan
Mcleod in 1875, and to them was
born one son, ]. N. Mcleod Wy
lie, who survives. Mrs. Wylie died
about 1892. After serving in New
York about thirteen years, he ac-
copied a call to Paris, Ontario, re-
naming about five years. After
ward he held pastorates of vary
ing lengths in Chicago, Philadel-
phia, and Quincy, ILL.,, supplying
at times in several places, among
which were Lawrence, Mass, West
Point, Iowa, and Wilbur, Wash. In
1908 he began preaching in Bur-
dette, N. Y, and remained there
two years. He was married to
Miss Mary Wheeler, of Burlington,
Kansas, in 1904. Later he served
the Presbyterian church at Mason
vile, New York, the last three
years of his life. From his last
marriage were born two sons, VIM.
Wheeler and Andrew Fremont Mr..
Wylie was a man of rare intellec-
tual ability, and had a very large
circle of friends in this community
He cared as much for his "old'
friends as for the new. 1t was
his custom to spend his vacation
among his relatives here, and
when he occupied the pulpit in the
churches around us it was pleasing
to note the following of friends of
his youth. His wife and three sons
survive, also his sisters, Mrs. Ann
Ritchie and Miss Jean Wylie. The
funeral was held at the Richie
home the 18th. Words of comfort
were spoken by Rev. VIM. Pollock
and Rev. VIM. Wallace, of South
Ryegate. The respect of his many
friends from far and near was
shown by the large attendance at
the funeral Mrs. Wylie was with
Rev. Mr.. Wylie during the last sad
hours.
The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life's long warfare closed at
last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done!
Begin thy new employ.
Sing, while eternal ages run,
Thy Master and his joy.

SUMNER AND FALL SEEDING
AND TOP DRESSING.

Many farmers are finding it to
their advantage to seed down dur
ing the summer and fall, claiming
that by so doing they are apt to
get a much better "catch" than
they do when they follow the
usual practice and seed down il
the spring.
The same is true regarding tom
dressing grass land. Some Of the
most progressive farmers put on
top-dressing Immediately after
