Harlan Merrill Tells the
Story Of a Skeleton
Special TOWnneaii1g June 20
To Decide About Water Dist.
G. A. WILDER Loses Quantity OF Hay
.-found to Be Misiaks


Various rumors have been afloat as
to the finding of a skeleton at the res
idence of Harlan Merrill, a well-known
farmer in this town. The facts are
substantially as follows: The Merrill
home is an old-fashioned farm house
and one evening recently during the
passing of shower the roof began to
leak. Mr.. Merrill, with the other occu-
pant of the house went to the attic
to stop the leak and in running his
hand under the caves between the
floors came in contact with something
round. He pulled it out and to his
complete surprise found he had d
skull. Further investigation brought
forth the larger bones of whole
skeleton.
Mr.. Merrill has owned the house for
40 years but this was the first time
that he was aware that it contained a
skeleton. He bought the house of Lu-
Their Dinsmore, who in turn had
bought it of another well-known old
time resident, Samuel Whittier.
At first the presence of the bones
were a mystery as no one in the
neighborhood could remember any in
cident that would have any bearing
as to where they came from. After
persistent inquiry it was remembered
that in the construction of a road
