IN MEMORlAM
Patrick MuI,iuan.


Patrick Mulligan died at his home on
Seymour street at about a o'clock last
Friday afternoon, June 28, in the Saith
year of his age. The causes of death
were the usual infirmities of old age,
accelerated by rheumatism and more
particularly disease of the heart.
Mr.. Mulligan was born at Londgram
Green, County of Louth, Ireland, on
May 18, 1929, and came to this country
when he was "a years of age, in 1858.
With the exception of the period of his
service in the army during the War of
the Rebellion and a short residence in
Cornwall he always thereafter made his
home in Middlebury. For the most
part of all this time he devoted his
attention to farm work in which he
became an expert, but his last work
tractor in carrying the mails to and fro
between the Middlebury postoffice and
the Rutland railroad station, which posi-
tion he relinguished about three years
ago, owing to advancing age.
On October ID, 1868, Mr.. Mulligan
was united in marriage to Miss Mary L.
Haly of this town. Mrs. Mulligan sur
wives, with the following named child
ren: Miss Mary Mulligan, Miss Helen
Mulligan and Miss Anna Mulligan of
Middlebury, Miss Margaret Mulligan of
Spokane, Washington, and James Mul
ligan of Middlebury. The eldest son,
Jermiah, died only about year ago at
his father home here, after an absence
from town of more than 20 years; and
the tragic death of his youngest son,
John P. Mulligan at the marble works
in Middlebury only few years ago,
will be long and we'll remembered.
This sad accident threw a gloom over
the future life of the young mans
father, but he did his best to shake it
off and always appeared cheerful.
Patrick Muligan was truly one of
natures noblemen. In all of the eighty
three years of his life he never did a
dishonorable act, but instead was al
ways trying to do some one kindness,
and in his genial, kindly way would have
given his dinner to hungry dog and go
without himself, rather than the dog
should continue hungry.
That was Patrick Muligan, and these
traits of his character were very elo-
quently dwelt upon by Rev. Father j.
N OF ha f,,n
Mary's church last Monday morning.
Mr.. Mulligan had always been devout
and faithful member of the church and
Father Shannon could find nothing too
good to say for him. Neither could any
one else, including all of those who
could remember him the longest until
his end
Mr.. Mulligan was member of Co.
''E' of the Fourteenth Vermont regi-
ment of Volunteer Infantry in the Civil
war and his funeral was attended by
many of his comrades of William P.
Russell post, No. SO, G. A. R., and of
William P. Russell circle, No. 5, Ladies
of the G. A. R., with floral offerings of
the most beautiful kind and in great
abundance.
At o'clock on Sunday afternoon the
Ladies of the Grand Army circle went
through their ritual at the house and
many members of the post were also
present.
st. Mary's spacious church was
crowded at the funeral service with
people from all walks of life and all de-
nominations, who gathered to pay their
last respects to this great Christian,

Sir was very much pleased
to see in a recent issue letters
from others in reference to the
bad condition Of our roads. 1t IS
an encouraging sign to see our
people becoming aroused to the
importance OF good roads. and
hope others will express themsel-

nal.

read New Corners" article in
reference to being kept from

dition of the roads in Winter and

New Conner" does not live in

also been kept from church borh
Winter and Summer rather than

roads. And W h at about our
school children? l saw them last
Winter day after day going to
and from school with mud to the
tors of their shoes, and in Macy
places in the Westville District
picking their way on little knobs
from which a slip would have
landed them hale way 10 their
knees in mad. / have heard it
said that roads that were good
enough for our fathers should be
good enough for US; but this is an
age Of wonderful impl ovements
and advancement and our roads
should be improved as elsewhere
to meet the changed conditions.
|. however. do not admit that our
roads are as good as thew we're in
my fathers day, for in his day
the bitches were deep and kept
open to carry the water off; an
absolute essential to good roads.
| remember we'll. as a boy. when
there were deep bitches in front
CT Captain Kirwan's and then the
road was good.
There are probably one hun
dred people here who want. to
sell-W n t to go elsewhere.
Many of them have asked me to
find purchaser. Home seekers
come here every week to look at
our property. They find a de-
lightfui climate. kind soil, love-
ly homes and a hospitable peo-
pie. Do they buy? Not often
They are not willing to live in
community that will put up with
such roads. 49,,
The Hon. G. w Koiner at a
recent Farmers Institute meeting
here said that we did not know
the value Of our lands, that they
will shortly be worth $4,000 an
acre. Some of our new comer~
say the same. Will they sell for
that now? Not much. Who will
pay fair price for any property
however valuable when he would
be doomed to drive over such
roads? The main county road
from New Point to tie Glouces-
ter line via the Battery is in a
wretched condition. Our side
and intersectIng roads are fair
and yet the main county road
that ninety per cent. of the peo-
pie use. from one end to the
other. is disgrace to the county.
Williams Wharf is the main en-
trance and gateway and Bay
side" is the last exit. Had we

hours and return the same day,
