B. B. Jerome.

Benjamin B. Jerome, who suffered
a shock Wednesday, Nov. 13, did not
rally from the stroke and died Thurs
day, Nov. 21, at his home on Main
street, where he had lived for 80
years.
Mr.. Jerome was born in Enosburg
January z, 1856, the son of Bronson
and Joanna (Martin) Jerome. He
came to Barton when a boy and in
1882 married Helen A. Drew, who
survives. One daughter, Mrs. Bessie
Adams, and two grandchildren also
survive, as well as two brothers, Ly-
man j., and Philo, both of New
Hampshire, and two sisters, Mrs.
Julia Ballou of East Swansea, N. H.,
and Mrs. Ira S. Drew of Irasburg.
Mr.. Jerome followed the carpen-
tens trade until about 25 years ago
when his eyesight failed owing to
overstrain. Since that time he has
been unable to read or write but has
courageously done what his hand
found to do, for idleness found no
part in his life.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home Saturday, Rev. M. A.
Turner officiating, and interment was
in Welcome o. Brown cemetery.
Card-We wish to express our sin
cere thanks to the friends and neigh
bors who so kindly assisted us dur

beloved husband and father.
