 In the past two years the assessors
 have found 4344 acres of land and added it to the list. There is no doubt that the individual surveys made during the past few years have a great deal to do with the additional acreage. The 1914 total grand list of all residents of the town amounts to $74, 165; non-residents, $1O0, ,SS5. In 1912 the records show that the non residents owned about $6OO0 more property than in 1914, so that Union is gradually showing an in- crease in population, large increase in school attendance and scholars enumerated, slight increase in per- sonal property wealth, and develop ment of many acres of land that has been for many years past neglected. , When word came to Union Tuesday evening of the death of Mrs. Ray mond c. Barrows, it cast a veil of sorrow over every home in town. For two weeks the first word spoken, neighbor to neighbor, was to enquire of news in relation to her welfare, and in each heart was the hope for Improvement. While Mrs. Barrows has been with us less than year her personality made lasting impression of refinement and strong womanly character upon all who knew her, and her sweet manner created in the minds of all fine ideal of woman. hood. The tenderness and devotion of her husband during her illness at the Johnson hospital in Stafford Springs gave but glimpse into that true life of a devoted couple. Her life was an inspiration for every girl. The passing out of our lives of this beautiful character is a great loss, especially to theCongregational church where her talents gave promise of un- usual results. The little boy, for whom she gave her life, a husband and family have our most sincere sympathy. Mrs. Helen Brown Barrows was born in North Adams twenty five years ago where she passed her early life She graduated at Smith college and taught in Randolph, Vermont, until her marriage to MT. Barrows, Easter, 1914. The funeral will be held at g. 80 tomorrow afternoon at the Union Congregational church with burial in the Unlon cemetery.
