An amusing occurrence in the local
town meeting some 30 years ago was
called to mind by one Of the older res
idents of this place who preserved this
clipping taken from Brattleboro pa
per of that date: ... ,d1
"The voters in town met on Tues
day with no special organization or
plans for representative, and hence
there were 10 different persons voted
for on the first ballot. At O'Clock,
when the boxes were turned and the
result of the vote was read by the con-
stable, 4 comical citizen of the town
who works on marble stood immediate
ly in front of the stand with eyes, ears
and mouth wide open, listening as
though his life depended upon the re-
suit. At the conclusion of the reading
of the names of the persons voted for
and the number of votes they respec-
lively received, he, with stentorian
voice and a word that the clergy pres
ent deemed more emphatic then nee
essary, exclaimed: Haven't I got any
votes9' At the next ballot our friend
got three votes and announced himself
to the town as perfectly satisfied with
the result
Residents will quickly identify the
central figure of this story as "Uncle
Arya Benson, who though in his Saith
year is still as fond of joke as in
his younger days.

Native of Brookline Dead.

The death of Mrs. A. II. Stebbins of
Rochester, Mimi, brings sadness to
many of those who knew her in the
place of her nativity. Adelaide Louise
Stebbins came of family of prestige.
Her great grandfather, John Stebbins,
was one of the first settlers of this town.
He enlisted in the war of the Revolution
and at its close came back and assumed
possession of his valuable farm. He
practiced medicine. Her grandfather,
Samuel Stebbins, was one of the town s
most honored men. He possessed three
farms and carried large stock of cat
tie, making trips to Boston to sell his
produce. He was one of the founders
of the Baptist church and gave literally
to its support. Her father, John B.
Stebbins, was n man of uplift. He was
a trial justice of ability and had a
wide acquaintance in the county.
Adelaide Stebbins possessed o keen
mind, was a fine scholar and as a school
girl in the old round schoolhouse was
in classes advanced. She was student
at Leland L. Gray seminary in Town.
shend, was a school teacher of merit
and was fine singer and pianist.
Her husband, Alonzo T. Stebbins, a
distant relative, has been representative
in the legislature and was senator 10
years. In 1899 she was called home
because of the illness of her father, and
remained to settle his estate after his
death. Her life was full of richness, for
the betterment of those around her.
Mrs. Stebbins died on Christmas day.
The Rochester Daily Post and Record,
which published a picture of her, said
she was one of Rochester s best known
and most admired women. Gas q mem
Der of the Calvary Episcopal church
Ladies Aid society she has been a tire
less worker, always depended upon and
always faithful. In the Civic league
and other social organizations she has
been heart and soul in whatever has
been undertaken. Possessing good health
and great executive ability, she never
Ihesitated, up to the time of her last
illness, in participating in any church
or social work. 1t is needless to state,
therefore, that she will be sadly missed
in this city. Her charity was bound

eminently one of service.''
Mrs. Stebbins was born in Brookline
July 81, 1S49. On Sept. 26, 1871, she
married Alonzo T. Stebbins, and they
have ever since lived in Rochester,

Plans For Town Hall Dining Room.

A business meeting of the T. G. R. IS
was held in the home of Mrs. W. NJ.
Sparks Monday evening. The plan of
the society to have work begun on the
dining room of the town hall in the
fall was necessarily abandoned on ac-
count of the illness and death of the
president, Mrs. D. +. BOotelle, who
also was the chairman of the building
committee.
At the recent meeting Mrs. w. NJ.
Sparks was appointed chairman of this
committee to act with Mrs. A. w. Bar
ry. Acceptable plans for the proposed
work have been made and the work
will be started as early as possible in
the spring, as supply of running
water will be a necessity. The society
has at present about $500 in its treas
ury to apply on the work, and a com
mittee has been appointed to arrange
for an entertainment in the near flu
ture, the proceeds of which will be
added to the fund.
