have MT. and Mrs. E. B. Hyde placed in the home of the organization in Cromwell MT. Hyde is veteran of the Civil war and has lived here for twelve years. He has become feeble and is unable to work. He applied to Selectman Gibney two months ago for assistance for Mrs. Hyde, he hav- ing the privilege of entering the Soldiers Home at Noroton. Mrs. Hyde objected to being separated from her husband and Selectman Gibney conferred with Mrs Martin Durham of the Womens Relief Corps and the latter has sent an application for ad- mission to the home to the president of the Corps, Mrs. Harriet J. Vodge, of Hartford. The Cromwell home is for veterans and their wives. If both are living they may reside there, and the wife may have home if her husband is deceased but if the veteran is alone he is given a home at Noroton. Upon inquiry Selectman Gibnev found the couple are resi- dents of Windsor, so Berlin is not liable for their care. It is probable that the necessary papers will be filled out in a few days and the couple will pass their declining days in Cromwell home.
