 Benjamin Franklin Corey of West erly, Civil war veteran, and for years one of the most active local workers in the interests of the Grand Army of the Republic, died Wednesday morn ing at his home in Union street, aged I5. MT. Corey was a carpenter by Oc- cupation and in early life became in terested in military affairs and joined the Westerly Rifles, known as Com pany I, First Rhode Island State Mi litia. In the dark days of '61, when President Lincoln made first call for troops, MT. Corey went with his com pany to Providence to be mustered into the service of the United States. In the course of preparation, while en- gagged in breaking a stack of arms, the bayOnet of a comrades muSket accidentally pierced MT Corey's face
 just below the right eyve. As he would not be physically fit for duty within thirty days he could not be mustered
 into service and was sent back to Westerly. This was in April, 1861. On September 28, 1862, he enlisted in Company 4, Twelfth Rhode Island Infantry, and was honorably discharg- ed upon expiration of his enlisted term of service. Upon his return from the front he rejoined the citizens soIdiery and continued in the military service 1 of the state for a quarter century. He was among the first to join Budlong Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and 1 was in office in the post for many years, serving for a period as com mander of Budlong Post.
 i MT. Corey was born in Westerly. He i leaves his widow, also a sister, Mrs. l Thomas Brannen of Providence.

 purposes-the banking house of the 1 Washington Trust company and Christ

 in the granite town in which finely cut granite was used, and this is con. fined to the Broad and Union stree
 entrances and includes large fine-cu granite columns.
