OBITUARY..
MISS SERAPH d. SMITH.

The death of Miss Seraph D. Smith on
September 18th at her home in Orwell.
brought sorrow not alone to he family
but to her friends, personal and profes-
sonal.
Miss Smith was born IN Orwell in 1859
and was the only child of the late Sidney
Smith and Charlotte w. Southmayd
Early in her childhood her parents went
to Iowa, where the fomily lived some
twenty years But Miss Smith came
back often to her New England birth
place, and it was here that she was
educated in the district sch DOL, at the
academy in Shoreham and under private
teaching.
In 1890 she went to Brooklyn, N. Y,
to be with cousins and later entered the
Brooklyn Maternity and New York State
Training School for Nurses and was
graduated in the class of 1892, receiving
the certificate for efficiency in the course
of study and later the full diploma
This WAS the regulation of the training
school in order to maintain high stand
, ing in its graduates
For ten years Miss Smith pursued her
profession successfully as her natural
gifts, added to and trained by education,
made her fine nurse. A severe illness,
the result of her Jealous work, made il
wiser for her to return to Orwell, TO the
home which her unselfish effort had
provided for her parents, and on recovery
she followed her profession, nursing in
Orwell and Shoreham until her health
failed and she became the victim of
tuberculosis. Beside her talent for
nursing Miss Smith possessed a mind,
keen an imaginative. She was a great
reader and an enthusiastic lover of out
door life and gardening Her body rests
in Shorehan cemetery on the sunny
hillside where the western view she
loved stretches serenely to the mountains
beyond Lake Champlain.

Several Wealthy apple trees on the

days are this season nearly done to

strange thing about it is that the

several other varieties. 4 Duchess

shows practically no infection. This
susceptibility Of the Wealthy to the

A Two and a Quarter
Million Dollar Saw
ings Bank

1t seems only a few weeks since we
chronicled the fact that the deposits in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank had reached
the two million dollar mark.
To the average newspaper man, who
does not see much money any way, it
seems like the story of Aladdins Lamp
to be told that the bank reached and
passed its two and quarter million dol.
lar mark on the 10Th inst, but such is
nevertheless the fact.
A million dollars is big lot of money
up in this rocky, billy neck of woods
We wonder if our readers realize that it
takes twenty-five thousand five hundred
deposits, averaging one hundred dollars
each, 10 make two and a quarter mil
lions.
Talk with your neighbor about it, and
he will tell you that he cannot under
stand it-and it does seem almost unbe.
lieyable; but since the bank is willing to
pay State tax on this sum, we guess
we will have to accept the statement as
true. The State will get from the
Lamoille County Savings Bank $l5,750
/ tax on this two and a quarter million
dollars deposits, sum probably larger,
by considerable amount, than would
be paid upon it were it left in the bands
of those who make the deposits.
The directors of this bank have reason
to be proud of the unlimited confidence
shown by the people of Vermont in this
institution. They evidently think the
Hyde Park Bank safe, and we think
there is not little to the idea that the
people like to deposit their money in a
bank which can truthfully say that,
aside from money deposited in New York
and Boston as quick assets, the bank has
never loaned dollar which did not
have either Vermont security behind it
or strong Vermont name, or names, on
the note; and that in its nearly twenty
four years existence it has never lost
dollar by poor note.
OF course, the fact that the bank pays
four per cent, and pays all the taxes, is a
great incentive to make these deposits.
