David L. Bemls.

David l.. Bemis, n, whose death was
noted in The Phoenix last week, was
born in Townshend April 10, 1894. He
was the only child of David and Mar
garet Hastings Bems In 1856 he mar
ried Jane 8. Fisher of Townshend. His
early life was spent in Townshend,
where for 20 years he drove freight
team from there to Bellows Falls Mr..
and Mrs. Bems came here to live. q
years ago and six years ago they cele-
brated their golden wedding.
II. p. Sweet, pastor of the church
here, oficiated at the funeral Wednes-
day afternoon. He took for the basis
of his remarks the passage. Thou shalt
come to thy grave in a full age, like as
a shock of corn cometh in his season"
Two selections were sung, over the
river" and THE beautiful isle of some
where" by Mrs. Minnie Kendall and
Miss Alice r. Perham.

Mr. Bemis had done so much. Beautiful
flowers covered the casket. Mr.. Bemis
served as janitor of the school building
many years and the teacher and pupils
attended the funeral in a body. A
Christian man and one who had a pleas
ant word for every one is gone, and
will be sadly missed by many aside from
his own family, who have the sympathy
of everyone. He leaves, besides his
wife, a daughter, Mrs George E. Walk
er, and one grandson.
Relatives present at the funeral were
Mr.. and Mrs. Judson b. Derry of Put
ney, Mr. and Mrs. James Stratton of
