Up where the north winds blow just

Up where the grasses grow just a

Up where the mountain peaks rise a
lutte higher,
Up where the human kind draws a
little higher,
That's where Vermont comes in.
Up where the SHOWS of winter last a

Up where the heart beats just little
stronger,
Up where the handclasp is just little
warmer.
That's where Vermont comes in.
Up where the l9nesome pine it's nightly

Up where the uupolluted waters take
their rise,
Up where bhe ons of toll have fought

Up where all natures mood is little
nearer God,
That's where Vermont comes in.
Wherever manhood fights for honor
And where woman shrinks at sin,
Where health is mans best riches,

Parker c.. StearnS

This community was greatly shocked
and panied by the sudden death of Mr..
Stearns Monday night, Dec. 20. 1t was
known that during the past few years he
had had several sick spells, and just the
week before his passing he had been quite
ill, bat no one was expecting the end to
come so quickly after only few hours
sickness.
Parker G. Stearns, the oldest son of the
late OTIS w. Stearns, swas born in john
he was sixteen years old. From here he
went to Lebanon, N. H., where he lived
until 1875. While in Lebanon he m arried
Emma Fitch on Dec. 20, 1862 and it was
marriage that the separation came.
Their only son, Ralph, died Aug. 1905 in
the sixteenth year of his age.
Mr.. Stearns was man, who cared but
little for public position and honors. He
was always simple and domestic in his
tastes and habits, and those of us who
knew him best will remember him as a
neighbor and friend of unusual loyalty
and fidelity. What be believed was right,
was a standard from which he never
swerved. His home life was of the type
that has made New England famous for
her homes. He was essentially worker,
and by his thrift and industry built and
maintained one of the best homes in our
village.
He will be much missed, for in all
things which made for the best life and
character OF men he WAS always found on
the right side.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and
one brother, Hon. Charles H. Stearus
The burial was from the home Thursday
afternoon and was conducted by Rev
E. G. French and Rev. Frank Hazan, and
attended by a large number of friend,
and neighbors whose love and sympathy
was shown in their many gifts of beauti-
full flowers. E. G.F.
