RECENT DEATHS
Wnkie.

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
Wilkie feel much sympathy for them
in the sudden death of their little
daughter, Eva. The child, who was
unusually bright and precocious, in
the temporary absence of her mother,
climbed upon a table and reaching to
a shelf above the table took down a
bottle of oil of sweet birch which had
been bought to be used externally
for rheumatism. Before her mother
caught her she had taken about a
teaspoonful of the oil. She was given
simple antidote and no bad results
were anticipated but Saturday morn
ing she became a1armingly i'll and
died about five O'Clock that after
noon. She leaves to mourn her loss
her father and mother, an older
brother, Leo, and baby. The
funeral was held on Monday after
noon, Rev. Peter Black officiating
and interment was in the cemetery
at st. Johnsbury Center.

Rurnham.

William E. Burnham died Saturday at
the Mercy hospital in Springfield,
Mass, after five days illness. The
greater part of his life was spent in St.
Johnsbury and he leaves many old
friends here. AS boy he became inter
ested in printing and had press in his
own home. Later he was employed for
a short time on the Caledonian and for
nearly twenty years on the Republican,
fer much of that time as foreman. He
was skillful printer and a bright, we'll
informed man, loyal to his friends and to
the interests of his employers. Eight
years ago while working on the Republi-
can he was taken i'll with Bright's disease
and the physicians gave no hope for re-
covery. He rallied however and a year
later went to Springfield where he had
been employed ever since by the Spring
field Printing and Binding Co., with the
exception of one year spent in Concord
N. H. Ever since his illness eight years
ago his life had been a continuous fight
against disease. At the last his heart be.
came weakened and when he went to the
hospital there was no doubt of the out
come. He was born in ST. Johnsbury 4S
years ago last May, one OF six children
of B. d. and Mary Carleton Burnham.
One sister alone, Mrs. Charles Conant OF
Concord, N. H, survives him. The
funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at
two o'clock in the South church parlors,
Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks, DID,, Off
ciating. The bearers were Ernest Cowles,
Ernest Blodgett. Charles Flint and Hor-
ace Taylor and interment was at Mt.
Pleasant cemetery. Carl Burnham Of
Boston, Mrs. Charles Conant of Con
cord, N H., and George A. Dow of Bos-
ton were here to attend the funeral.
