Mrs. Lydia G. Hanscom.

Mrs. Lydia G. Hapscom, whose fu-
neral occurred Saturday at Sheffield.
was we'll known in Barton as we'll as
in her home town. She was born
June 27, 1893, and died at her home in
Sheffield July 5, 1911. and was a few
days over 78 years of age. Her hus-
band was Aaron Hanscom, who died
about twenty years ago. Their long
married life was practically all lived
in the town of Sheffield. In addition
to the infirmities of old age, she suf-
fered from severe attacks of asthma
the last three years of her life, but
the immediate cause of her death was
bronchial pneumonia.
A sad coincidence was that her
brother, Isaac Allard of Lowell,
Mass, for whose coming to her home
she made preparations just a few
days before her death, died on Mon
day, while ber death took place the
following Wednesday. So that the
surviving members of the family had
the very sad experience of burying a
brother and mother in the same
week.
Mrs. Hanscom was a woman of
strong personality, of deep religious
convictions, believed in a religious
observance of the Sabbath and in a
beautiful, positive religion for the
home. She was for over half CEN
tury loyal helpful member of the
Baptist church at Sheffield. Being a
woman of musical talents. she was a
member of the choir of her church a
good many years. She was also very
fraternal toward the Methodist church
that was near her home and had a
tolerant spirit toward all denomina-
tions. The funeral was held Satur-
day, July 9th, and was conducted by
her pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Waldron,
who gave very comforting message
from the words of the 116th Psalm.
18th verse. precious in the sight OF
the Lord is the death of his saints. .
Mrs. Hanscom was the mother of -four
children, three daughters and one SON
Mrs. G. f. Wilson of Boston Mrs. c.
P. Jenness of Barton; Mrs. Jennie
E., the deceased wife of E. B. Robin
son; and the son, P. T. Hanscom o1
San Francisco. Among those wht
came to attend the funeral were Mrs
Isaac Allard. DR.. Frank E. Allard, H
Eugene Allard from Massachusetts
and Mrs. Hannette Preston, Manches
ter, N. H., and C. G. Peck of New
ton, Mass.

Weeds.

This year seems to be an excep-
tionally bad year for weeds in this
section, kale, paint brush and other
we'll known varieties being very plent-
ifuI The weed question appears to
be threa tening the farmers more and
more and it would seem that every
possible effort should be made to
keep them in check. A weed growing
some three feet high with a yellow
blossom that closes during midday
and root extending straight into the
ground, was brought to this office
recently and the editor sent it to the
Vermont Agricultural Experiment
station at Burlington and received the
following letter:
Mr.. Editor
The weed which you sent in is
known as the "Yellow Goats Beard -
has been known in Vermont as a
weed for several years. and seems
to be spreading rapidly in rocky
fields, along roadsides, etc. Every
effort should be made to exterminate
it.
Yours truly,
G. P. Burns,
Botanist.

Mrs Eddy Wrote Poem at Barton.

NH. EQltOr.
Since the announcement in the
Monitor, few weeks since, of the
writer S early identity with the
Christian Science movement, and his
presence in Boston in connection with
and especially owing to the interest
ing fact that the founder of this, in
some respects, the most remarkable
, medico-religious movement the world
has ever known, the late Rev. Mary
B. G. Eddy was, during the summer of
1882, a guest at our farm home in
Barton, learn that quite little
| local interest in the subject has been
awakened and desire expressed to
know something more about the
marvellous truth in the Mental Heal
| ing system.
1t occurs to me, therefore, that the
poem there and then written by Mrs.
Eddy. inspired by the rere beauty and
grandeur Of our unsurpassed natural
scenery, may be of interest to your
appreciative readers, especially as
the hardy oak referred to in the
choice verses was the only full grown
oak then known to be in existence in
our northern town. AS a boy I we'll
remember climbing Barton mountain
to pay my respects to this sturdy oak
which for many years withstood, like
"molntain sentinel'- indeed, the
rigors of our trying winter storms.
It was located on the western brow
Of the mountain in the rear of our
former homes, now occupied, respect
lively by Mr.. Fairbrother and Mr..
Rash on the Willoughby lake road.
Is it not a rather lamentable fact that
absorbed in material pursuits, country
folk do not find time to pay due re-
spect to rare tree. or personality in
their presence. The rural folk are
not only apt to ignore the rustic
beauty of their surroundings, the
mountain, lake and river, that city
folk pay we'll to be near, but our
country people are quite apt to forget
the fact also, that some new visitor
to their little world may bear fo,
them a rare message of untold worth.
, Arthur T. Buswell
Boston, Mass, July 4th, 1911.

All, mountain-monarch at whose fee
