Death Of Deacon James o. FolIett.


Our community was greatly shocked
last Thursday morning, Feb. 49, to hear of
the sudden death, after a few days i'll
ness, of Deacon James o.. Follett. He
was the son of Samuel w. Foett and
Eliza Bemis and was born in Jamaica
May IL, 1912. When he was seven years
old he came with his widowed mother
and younger brother, Samuel, to what
was known as the Brigham homestead,
then consisting of 200 acres. 1t was here
that this faithful mother toiled unceas-
ingly and her two sons were brought up.
Samuel died of typhoid fever when in
the Civil war. On the return from the
war James o. Follett married Clara
Kimbal Nov. 10, 1864, by whom he had
six children--Alice. who married Walter
Austin of Weston; Abbie, who is a teach
er in Wiliamsville; Matte, who married
Wilmer Turner, and lives in this town;
Orison W., who lives on the home farm;
| Arthur G., who is a civil engineer living
| in Woodbury. N. j., eight miles from
| Philadelphia; and Florence Ethel, who Is
a teacher in Grafton.
Mr.. Follett was a member of the Grand
Army. He participated in the battle Of
Gettysburg in the 10th Vermont Volun-
| teers under Col. Veazey. He had held
| the Offices of lister, selectman, road COM
missioner and represented the town in
! the Legislature in 1896. He was a charter
member of Birchard post. G. A. r., and
! had been post commander When the
| Grange came into existence he became
one of its charter members. But not In
| any one of these organizations was he
| as well known as in the Congrega tional
| church. He has always been a devoted
! Christian, whose sacrifice of time and
means for the moral and spiritual life of
| the community will not soon be forgotten.
At the age of 20, in 1864, he became the
deacon of his church and has held that
office ever since. He has been one of
our most successful farmers and build
err of stone arch bridges, a number of
which will remain many years monu-
ments of his skill. His last work was
| laying the founda ton of the new town
| house. He has been president of the
| Newfane Creamery ever since 1t came
| into existence He was a man who
took lively interest in everything that
pertained to the best life of the town
and will be greatly missed in church and
community.
The funeral service took place from
| the house where prayer was offered at !
o'clock and from the church at o'clock.
His pastor, Rev. Daniel Mcintyre, officiat-
ed, assisted by Rev. Joseph Mexican. The
| members of Birchard post and the Grange
attended in a body. John II. Northup
sang an appropriate solo. More than
200 individuals from here and surround
ing towns attended the funeral

How Old PeODle
May Prolong
Their Lives

AT advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
latlon becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite ftful, and diges-

the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
OF for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
