FIVE ORPHANED
MIL FORD TOTS
IN SAD PLIGHT
No Funds to Bury Father,
Two Small Children Are
Desperately Ill.

Milford, Jan. S.-FatherIess and
Inotherless the five children of Ed
mund Bartlett late of Gulf street con-
tribute today to make the interior of
tifu1 scenes in the memory Of Milford
people.
Their mother died five years ago.
Desperately combating every effort
to take one of his children from him.
and worn by the battle to keep them
and himself alive without the aid Of
their mother, the father died of pneu-
monia Thursday. Now two of the
children are desperately i'll with the
grip and they are threatened with
pneumonia.
With all this trouble there is none
to aid except kind-hearted neighbors,
There is no money in the house and
the body Of Bartlett is unburied be-
cause of, lack of funds. The children
have medical attention. but they can't
pay for it. They have food, too, but
the neighbors are bringing it in bas-
kets- r.
Edmund Bartlett was man of
modest means. He worked in the
straw hat factory and made enough
to keep his children and his wife. But,
five years ago, trouble came to him.
His loving wife was stricken with ill
ness and died, and the cost of bury
ing her weighed heavily on the family.
There were six children Many
made offers to take one or more of
them off Bart1ett's hands because
they are 1ovab1e children. He refus-
ed. He wouldn't Iart with them for
love or money. There came a day,
however, when he learned that he
couldn't work all day and give six
children the care of which their
mothers death had robbed them.
Reluctantly, he parted with one
child, placing it with a relative in New
Jersey. 1t was a girl, as were the
rest of the children with one excep-
ton. He didn't like to do it but he
had to.
Then came more tribulations and
others told him to give one or more
of his children into some kind familys
care. He wouldn't think of it. He
continued to toll at the shop by day
and teach his children at night.
This couldn't last. Neighbors say
he couldn't stand the strain. Four
days ago he became i'll. He con-
tracted pneumonia and died.
The children were bereft. Neigh
bors cared for the children during the
illness, but all their so1icitudes didn't
stave off more sorrow. Two of the
younger children were stricken and
they are in danger of death.
While the sympathetic women of
the neighbprhood bring the children
food, there is talk of a popular sub
scription. Otherwise, Bartlett will
go to a pauper's grave. The town will
care for the children in a home, un-
less the townspeople do something
privately,

OLD INJURY MAY
HAVEL DRIVER
TO TRAINS PATH
Believe John Evarts' Death
Was Caused BY Peculiar
Occurrence.

\ An injury received one year ago,
which almost proved fatal is believed
by investigators to have been the IN
direct cause of the death of John
Evarts, a farmer of Hulls Farms, who
was killed last night on the railroad
tracks near the s4tin bridge.
aEvarts' body, his horse and wagon
and the 1atters equipment were found
on the tracks How he came there is
a mystery, but in some quarters it is
believed today that the old injury to
his head, received in an accident at
Fairfield a year ago, caused him to
relapse into eunconsciousness-
Evarts' body is unclaimed Search,
has failed to ind his relatives.
Medical Examiner s. NJ Garlick
finds that death was accidental, al
though he cannot account for Evarts
losing his grip on the reins unless he
was suddenly rendered unconscious.
The horse is believed to have fallen
the railroad ties. It is thought
it lay in that position until the ex-
press train approached
A passing freight train stopped last
night when it was believed that it had
struck something. Uon investigation
it was disclosed that it had struck a
trunk which had been on Evarts'
wagon. A search with tighten Lam
terms disclosed Evarts' dead body. It
was placed aboard a freight train and
brought to this city where it will be
held at the morgue of Cu11inan & Null
lins on Main street until relatives
claim the body.
Evarts, who was 45, was a farmer
and resided in HulIs Farms. Lately
he purchased the Wakenan place just
back of Southport. He paid three
rent in advance and the time
is not up yet
Little is known among neighbors of
EEvarts. They recall, however, the ac-
cident a year ago when an automobile,
the driver of which disappeared,
his seat. His skull was fractured and
he lay at deaths door in a hospital for
several weeks. He recovered, how
ever.
