OBITUARY..

Born March 26. 1927 died March 3,
1912. Mrs. Hannah L. (StowelD Elmer in
her S5th year. She was married Janu-
AIRY 8. 1861, to Eli Elmer, who died July
%, 1901. Two children were born, Mrs.
Vernon G.. Atwood, who died April g.,
1901, and Mrs. Noble c. Fem, with whom
Mrs. Elmer, for some years, had made
her home. Mrs. Elmer's long and USE
full life was passed in Addison county,
most of it in the town of Middlebury.
Gifted with a cheerful, helpful spirit, a
quiet sense of humor, and rare good
sense, she made many friends as she
passed along life's pathway and there is
host of people today who feel that
something precious has gone out of their
more. A good wife, loving mother, a
helpful neighbor, this quiet, unobtrusive
Christian woman filed a large place in
many lives and was always power for
good in the community.
Two sisters survive her, Mrs. Theodore
Hicks Of Americas. Kansas, and Mrs. Fl.
w. Brewster of Middlebury, Vt.
Life's race well run
Life's work well done,
LIES victory won;
Now cometh rest.

r. A. LAWRENCE KILLED.
Prominent Rutland lawyer Was
Trying TO Turn off an EIee-
trio Liqht.

Rutland, March II. Robert A..
Lawrence was electrocuted at his home
here Sunday morning about o'clock
while standing in bath tub half full of
water and at the same time attempting
to turn an electric switch.
Mrs. Lawrence heard cry in the
bathroom and found her husband hang
ing to the switch. She saw where the
trouble lay and dragged the body to the
floor. Physicians were summoned at
once and pronounced death to have been
instantaneous from electrocution.
The lighting company has tested the
circuit leading to the house and finds
them in perfect order, with no short
circuits or grounds. 1t is believed Mr.
Lawrence's hand was wet and this with
his feet in the water gave an almost
perfect contact which may have been
combined with some weakness of vital
organ to render the light current of 10
volts fatal.
Mr.. Lawrence was 33 years old and
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. George E.
Lawrence who survive him. He was
educated at the Rutland high school and
the University of Vermont, and was
admitted to the bar in 1901. He had
been states attorney of Rutland county
and was a member of the firm of
Lawrence, Lawrence and Stafford. He
was an alternate to the Republican
national convention of 1908. He was
regarded as one of the most promising
young lawyers of the state and had
always taken a part in Republican
politics.
He married last April Miss Mary
Stickney, daughter of w. B. C. Stickney,
of Bethel, who survives him. He also
leaves brother, Edwin w. Lawrence,
who is general counsel of the Rutland
railroad here.

as the statement may seem at first.
Perhaps the most satisfactory of
the orchestra's numbers were two OF
the movements from Bizets suite,
"L'Arlesienne," the Minuetto and the
AdaSietto. in the latter of which the
worm OF Joseph Kessnich. playing as
concertmaster was conspicuous and
more than grateful. but the selection
from Naughty Marietta" was also
defghtful. Comic opera or not, the
music is genuinely lovely, and one of
the amateur first v'clins, George A

Dream Melody" with n beautiful
tone.
Assisting the orchestra were three
