The fire started in the upstairs tene-
nenL, MT. and Mrs. Phillips having
been gone for a week. 1t gained

Accidental Death of Fred Bancroft,
A Community Loss-PersOnals.
The whole community was sadden-
ed last week by the death OF Fred
Bancroft in the automobile accident
that occurred when he with other
friends were on their way to the
State Fair, on Wednesday. Funeral
services were held here Saturday at
10 a.. m. and the church was filled
with friends and relatives, testifying
to the esteem in which he was held,
coming from ST. Johnsbury, Dan
vile, Peacham, Hardwick and
Greensboro. There was an album
dance of beautiful flowers from tAe
family, NJ w. of A. and other friends.
The remains were taken to Plain
field for burial, where a service was
held at 8 p. m. Plainfield was his
old home town where he had many
friends and relatives, two sisters and
an aged mother being able to attend
the services there. Much sympathy
is felt for his wife, so suddenly be-
reft of her all, as their only child
died in infancy. Mr.. Bancroft was
a genial kindly man and will be
greatly missed in the community,
church and lodge of M. w. of A. of
which he was a prominent member.
Six Woodmen acted as bearers and
quite a number accompanied the
body TO Plainfield. Mrs. Bancroft's
father, Mr.. Walker, came Friday
from Maine and is staying with her
at present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Hodges and
son of st. Johnsbury who have been
with Mrs. Hodges sister, Mrs. Ban
croft,g since Thursday, returned to
their home Sunday, evening.
Mrs. J. NJ. Adams of Moravia, N.
Y, is spending some time with Rev.
and Mrs. L. E. Taylor.
Mrs. Orrin Kittredge entertained
her friend, Miss McNeely of Boston
few days last week.
