church, temperance and all good work
they were prominently identified until
old age weakened them and made il
necessary that younger workers as

Never neglecting her church, or any

Mrs. Dawson's first thought was al

truest sense OF the word, but never a
selfish homemaker There was ever
a warm welcome there for not only
her own friends but for her children S

To the last she kept her interest in
the home, reluctantly leaving to others,
one by one, the tasks she loved but
was too weak to perform; to the last
she read her daily papers and was in
terested in the worlds work and pro.
gress;to the last she loved and attend
ed her church when able to do so; to
the last she made a beautiful home

AGED MAN A SUICIDE
Dependency Over III Health Causes Death
of William LamsOn

| William Lamson, for many years 6
| well-known farmer of the west part O.
town, committed suicide early last Fri
| day morning by hanging himself with a
chain in the barn at his home. Despond
ency because of physical disability is as
cribed as the reason for the act.
Mr.. Lamson went to the barn about S
O'Clock that morning and when he did
not return for breakfast his wife called
several times. Receiving no answer she
sounded dinner horn which summoned
Bert Knight, neighbor, who lives on
the Briggs farm.
Mr.. Knight found the mans body sus.
pended by chain from a ladder which
stood on the barn floor
For several years Mr.. Lamson had
been lame and his disability had become
more acute as the years passed. 1t was
feared that he would become entirely
helpless within a short time and this and
the fact that he was soon to move from
his farm, which he sold at auction about
two weeks ago. had depressing effect
upon Mr. Lamson.
He leaves his wife. Funeral services
were held from the home Sunday alter
noon, Rev. r. D. Cranmer of the Univer-
salist church officiating. The bearers
were H. w. browne, Bert Knight, Jay
Sherwood and George l. A. Smith. In
terment was at Morristown Corners.
Mr.. Lamson was "a years of age last
March and had always lived on the farm
where he was born. In early life he was
united in marriage to Mary Jane Merrill
OF that section of the town, who sur
wives him. Mr.. and Mrs. Jason Johnson
of South Barre, Mr.. and Mrs, Fred Cur
rier of Richmond, Mr.. and Mrs Oscar
Emery of Montpelier, and Mr.. and Mrs
Victor Gerry OF Eden were here TO at
tend the funeral. Mrs. Johnson of Barre
and Charles Merrill of this town are
brother and sister of Mrs. Lamson. Mr..
Lamson was a brother of the late Mrs.
Robert McDaniels and also had broth
er who practiced law in Cabot for sever
al years. The brother died some time
ago.
The sincere sympathy of the communi.
ty goes out to the aged wife, who has
been in very poor health for long time.
They had no children and the terrible
act which was, no doubt, the result of a
distorted mind, caused by his great suf.
fering, is an especially sad case.
