more than Is years ago, spending the
summers at Bencasson cabin on New
fame hill. About four years ago he
bought out the mercantile business of

carried on since. He was an earnest
and active member of the Congrega-
tional church. faithful and always ready
to help in all public affairs, a member
of Newfane lodge, No. 70, I. o. o. h.
He will be greatly missed and the
