DANIELSON

AhoCAcdn -hSuAiSlf Zl, Q1eQ PfSu- nesday a few minutes after noon, at | his home on Main street. He had been | i'll with influenza and pneumonia for 1 ne arly month. so ill that for days hls recovery was despaired of, but he finally rallied and at the beginning ot the present week there was prom lso that he might recover. A sinking spell, however, was followed by un- consciousness and early Wednesday it was realized that the end was near. MT Meunler was born in Wauregan, the son of Mir. and Mrs. Benoni Meu- nler, one of a large family. He came to Danielson with his parents when he was very young and grew to man hood here. being one of the boroughs best known young men. Sam he was to his scores of friends, who are grieving over his death.
 At the time he became ill he was em- ployed in the store of A. P. Wood ward. As a member of the Ninth Separate company, State guard. rife team, he went to Norwich on "a Sat urday in October to participate in the regimental shoot He was ill that day and upon his return here his condition had become so serious that he required the immediate attention of physician. His condition rapid ly grew critical and though he made the bravest kind of a fight for life, up to the last minute that he was con- scious. death finally claimed him. MT. Meunier was a former student of Killingly High school and had played on it's athletic teams, much to the advantage of the school He also had been a member of independent basketball teams and other athletic organizations, competing the last time on. Labor day, at the Connecticut Mills field day
 His wife, his father and mother were at his bedside when he died. In addition to these relatives and an in- flnt he leaves eight brothers, two Of whom, Raoul and Emil are in the ar l my service of the United States, and I three sisters.
 With the smoke of battle cleared away Wednesday. there was general ] agreement among the people of this town that Killingly will be well rep I resented in the coming legislature. i Close observers Of political affairs in | killingly attribute much ot the repub- , lican party's success here in Tues | days election to the strength and the standing of it's two candidates for resentative-Cosmer A. Young, of 1 Ddnielson, and N. Lorne Greg. of 1 Dayville. Both are successful in their chosen fields of mercantile and indus i trial endeavor and both are men who | have the full confidence of their 1 toWnspeople. Mr. Young is a native l of Killingly and for 30 years has been engaged in business in Danielson He l is one of the best known of the bor- cugh's business men and hig n'iity is very generally recognized Tn his ear l F days he was scnool teacher. and perhaps, that fact remains firmly i'm planted in the minds of many young people who studied under him. espec- ially the big boys who, in those days, sometimes had an ambition tc l lick the teacher. It is not to be l construed from this that MT. Young was over aggressive. but there re- mains in towns hereabouts more than one man in middle life who win smil- i1gly admit that MT Young invariably was the master of the situation ill the
 schoolroom; and while always paving high tribute to his efficiency as a teach CT, can hardly forebear to recall a few classic instances wherein MT. Young gave convincing demonstration to un- ruly pupils as to who was who. Hi: school room days as Ia teacher GOV cred a period of 15 years, seven of whicf were spent in painstakingly impartins l 5

 lyn and four more at Central Village schools. His pupils of those days, a!
 they remain today. are one big clas! in paying tribute to him as one Of tn, best teachers they ever had. In late,
 years MT. Young has demonstrated
 that the same qualities that made hin
 such a success as q teacher could b
 applied to found, develop and main
 tain one of Danielson's best know business enterprises. These sam qualities, fully developed by9years 0 l experience, are now made availahl
 for the benefit of the people of Con
 necticut and Killingly will have caus to be proud of a representative sucl as he.
 N. Lorne Greis,. Killingly's othe
 representative in the next legislature 1 is but 96 years of age. He is ma : tive of Chateauguay county. Quebec and has been a resident of Kiliingl

 in the concern at Dayyille with For II mer Senator Angus Park, Hanover
 whose daughter is MT. Greig's wift and they have built up there a bi business that means much m main , taining the industrial welfare of Xii l lingly, the plant recently being ex l Fanded to give it o0-lc1'm capacity :. Mir. Gre1g is chairman of Killingly' ! town school committee and has show ] led constructive interest in other mat
 ters pertaining to the public goot l During the period of the war he ha
 been actively engaged in Liberty loai

 And has contributed largely to tf
 success of all the money drives in tn
 town. That his abilities have bee 1 appreciated by his fellow townspeopl
 was indicated by the fact that he re

 this in the face of reaf determine
