One of our very early renembrances
was the bringing, one winters day in
the 1905, Of huge granite monument
from Barre to The cemetery on our west
hill, to the memory Of the late Judge
Elijah Paine IL n, whose body wa-
buried there 1t ia all hammered work
and consists Of two or three bases and
a very heavy pyramidal die. with sunk
letters. II one cares to learn the vas
improvement in Barre granite mouu-
ments IN the last 90 to 20 wears it Is
well worth a visit to this monument to
see II thare IS yet living one member
Of this once So DISTINGUISHED Paine fam
ily, we do not know ID. Nor do We know
how the history Of this Paine monument
can now be aseertained: but It somehow
seems as If the name Of the late Ira Har
rington Of Barre used to be associated
with il, We would like to get the facts.
In this column, we have written briefly
Of the Paine monument in onr west hlfl
cemetery We wish we had time and
space now to tell more of tile many very
interesting facts in the life Of the late
Judge Elijah Paine who used to live on
the farm now occupied by the Clogston
brothers, on the western Limit Of the town,
and who. clearly was the most distin-
guished citizen our town has ever had.
He was born IN Brooklyn, Conn. Janu-
