General Ruggles was also the chief

Crown Point and second in command
at the battle of Lake George. He COM

He was famous for his daring and
skill, especially In the command of In

drill master. The very men who
fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill
had been trained by Ruggles on north

ure it had afforded him to do the
work assigned to him during these
many years, and also of the co-opera-
ton he had received from the Off

Rev. S. N. Pilchard, pastor OF the
church, presented him with piece of
gold, made in 1897, the year in
which Mr.. Simmons was elected SUI

commodated one of the largest con-
gregations the church has ever re-
ceived, and the remainder of the
crowd was forced to sit in the Sun
