 THE EDDY FAMILY

(copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure News
 paper SyndicateD
 There are not very extensive records concerning the Eddy family, either in Flu rope for America. The name Eddy and the name Edye were both doubtless the game. as the same arms are used by both. .
 Two of the earliest settlers of the name Eddy in this country were Samuel and John. who reached Plymouth, Mass, on october 29 163O. They settled at Swan sea, where Samuel died in 1888.
 This branch of the family was promi- nent in the revolutionary war. By that time it had become a strong family. A great-great- great t-grandson of Samuel was Willard Eddy. of Richfield, N. Y., born in 176o, who entered the revolution ary army when he was 16. Later he went into the marine service and served on the privateer Providence. His descendants gained prominence in New York state. Another great-great t-great-grandson of Samuel was Samuel Eddy, born in l74S at Plymouth, who was an orderly ser geant in the Continental army. He, too, became the father of big ana prorni- nent New York state family
 The arms of the Eddy family, in Eng land, sometimes spelled Edye, are de- scribed, Gules; three mems heads, couped at the shoulders argent, crined gray.

Send the furs to tanner, or dealer in furs, who will prepare them for use. Is there any pro- cess of tanning to be done at home which might be of service to our correspondent? How may she save the furs for future use until she has enough to be made into muffs, tippets, etc?
