OBITUARY
Mrs. cIarissa Chapman o,Brien

The death of Mrs. Clarissa Chapman O'Brien occurred in Everett, Mass. on Wednesday,, following a lingering ill., ness. She was born in Poquetanuck on March 3, 1927, the daughter of AL lyn and Elizabeth Kimball Chapman. Much of her early life was spent in Poquetanuck where she was united in marriage. with Erastus O'Brien. Her husband was a. member of the firm of Brewster & O'Brien who conducted a grocery store on Ferry street for long time.
 Upon the death of her husband she went to live with her daughter, Mrs Edwin Troland in Maiden, Mass. For the past few years she has resided in Everett. She is survived by her son. in-law and grandson, Leonard A. Troland of Maiden.
 Samuel Hartshorn.
 The death of Samuel G. Hartshorn, one of Franklin's oldest and best known citizens, occurred Wednesday morning following an illness of only a weeks duration.
 MT. Hartshorn was born in Franklin on Nov. 25, 1880, the son of Mir and Mrs. George Hartshorn. All his life was passed in Franklin and on March r, 1S75 he was united in marriage with Miss Antoinette Blackman by Rev. MT. Dana. MT and Mrs. Harts- horn occupied the Hartshorn home stead, which has been the home of the Hartshorn family for many genera tions
 Mir. Hartshorn was the fifth in des- cent from Dr. David Hartshorn, the f1rst physician and the first deacon of the Congregational church of the town of Franklin, who bought the land from Ensign Waterman about 1897. The land has since been owned hy the Hartshorn family.
 Last November MT. Hartshorn cele- brated his S7th birthday. This cele- bration was attended by a number of his relatives living in Franklin and Lebanon.
 For 42 years continuously MT. Harts- horn had served as town clerk of Franklin. Last October he declined re- election, and his term of office expired Tuesday. Only a few hours, therefore separated the closing of the last chap ter of his official life and that of mortal life. For Al years he was also treas urer. At another time he served 1he town as town clerk for period of five years. He had therefore been town clerk for 47 years, or nearly half a century.
 Mir. Hartshorn represented the town of Franklin in the state legislature in 1887, and had also served as registrar of vital statistics. He was a member of the Franklin Congregational church. His wife survives him.
