Such was Buck Duane's debut In

Duane had been three months out

unknown trails. He passed on leisure

OF the people with whom he
came In contact. When he henrd
Fletcher's name and faced Knell he
knew he had reached the place he

Duane made himself agreeable, yet
not too much so, to Fletcher and
several other men disposed to talk
and drink, and eat; and then. after

out Of town a couple Of miles to a

Death of Miss Ellen Miles

Ellen Eliza Miles died last Friday night
at eleven o'clock at the Miles home or
Main street in Morrisvlle from a com
plcation of diseases incident to old age
She had been in failing health for over
two years and her condition had beer
gradually failing since she suffered par
tial shock on Nov. 25. The end, which
had been hourly expected, came quietly
| following a sleep which had lasted all the
previous day.
The death of Miss Miles marks the
passing of the Oldest resident of this
village, as the deceased was born and al
ways resided in the house where he died.
To her was given the unusual lot OF
spending the whole of her life in the cen
ter of the village of her birth and while
many changes were wrought alb )ut her,
the little old fashioned house was always
allowed to remain as her parents, who
were among the early settlers in town,
left it, the father going in 1861 and the
mother remaining until 1886.
The deceased was one of SIX children OF
ohm and Abiah Reed Miles. She was
born June 4, 1885, and obtained her edu
cation in the schools Of this village, fol-
lowing her school days by life devoted
to the home. She was a member for
many years of the Universalst church
and in her younger days was a regular
attendant upon the services of that
church. Since the death of her mother
she had kept house for her rother, John.
who with a brother, George A, OF ST.
Johnsbury, survives her. The other chill
dren were Sarah L., who died in young
womanhood, James w, who died IN
1855 at the age of "a, and Francis r.,
who died in Boston three years ago last
August, aged rs years.
During her quiet, secluded life, her cir
Gle of intimate friends was not large, but
those who knew her well will remember
many beautiful traits of character.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon at the Universalist church, Frank
A. Stockwell, assisted by Rev. w. Z.
Baker, officiating. The bearers wer, D..
Geo, L. Bates j. NJ. Kelley, H. A. Stay
ton and George W. Clark. There was a
large attendance and the beautiful floral
offering included the following:-Roses
from MIR. and Mrs. J. NJ. Kelley, Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ B. White, Mrs Emily Champeau,
Mrs. J. p. Roy, Mrs. E. E. Schutt, Mrs
