Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks
Died To-day at Ben
nington
SHE BEGAN WRITING
HYMNS WHEN Ia
Her Most Famous Product
Was, '1 Need Thee
Every Hour"

Bennington, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Annie Sher
wood Hawks, author of many famous
chapel hymns, including, 81 Need Thee
Every Hour" died at her home here to,
day at the age of SO years.
| With the death of the celebrated Fan.
ny Crosby some time ago, Mrs. Annie
Sherwood Hawks was left as perhaps the
last of the noted writers of the gospel
hymns of the past half century.
| From her fourteenth year, when her
| first bit of verse was published in a
newspaper in Troy, n. Y, she devoted a
large part of her long life to the produc-
tion of poems and hymns. OF her hymns
which came into common use the best
known is, Il Need Thee Every Hour"
which is said to have been translated into
more foreign languages than any other
modern hymn.
Mrs. Hawks, who was born in Hoosick,
n. Y, in 1885, was educated in the public
schools and in the Troy seminary. After
her marriage to Charles HAL Hawks,
member of a New York banking firm
she lived in Brooklyn until the death of
her husband in 1888. Since then she had
made her home with her daughter in Ben
nington.
Her first hymns were written in 1868,
at the suggestion of her pastor, DR. Rob
ert Lowry who set several of them to
music
Not long before her death Mrs. Hawks
thus described the writing of her most
famous hymn:
IL remember well the morning, many
years ago, when in the midst of the daily
cares of my home, | wasS SO filled with
sense of nearness to the Master that,
wondering how one could live without
Him either in joy or pain, these words, 4
Need Thee Every Hour, were flashed
into my mind Seating myself by the
open window in the balmy air of the
bright June day, caught my pencil, and
the words We're soon committed TO paper, |
almost as they are being sung now.
1T was only by accident, as ii would !
seem. that they were set TO music a few |
months later and sung for the first time
at Sunday school convention held in |
one of the large western cities. From !
there they were taken further west and /
sung by thousands of voices before the
echo came back to me-"
Among other hymns of which she was
.he author are "The Cross for Jesus"
Good Night" ''Why Weepest Thoufn
Who'll Be the Next to Follow Jesus ?"
ind ''In the Valley"

WINOOSKI BOY
KILLED BY AUTO
Eli Misaeque, 13, Was Struck BY Machine
Driven By DR.. E. A. Heath-Death
Blow Came When He Struck
Ground

| Burlington, Jan. 3.-Eli Misaique, ID
son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Misaique OF
| 1856 West Allen street, was fatally in
iured when he was run into by DR.. E. A.
Heath's automobile yesterday afternoon,
He died in the Mary Fletcher hospital
two hours after the accident.
The accident happened at l:30 O'Clock
on Main street Winooski, at the corner
of Center street. Just how it occurred
could not be learned as no one saw the
boy until he was under the wheels of the
car. DIR. Heath said last evening that
the boy lodged from the back of team
and ran in front of his machine. The
team was on its way down the street and
was about at the corner when the doc
tor turned his ear slightly to the left to
pass it, bringing the auto almost square
ly across the car track. Whether the
boy was on the team or not he could not
state. but it seemed to him that the lad
had his hand on the rear of the team
and left it to run across the road. His
cap was down over his ears and with
head down, he made the dash
The blow that killed the boy was in
ficted when the lads head struck the
hard ground. The first wheel passed over
the body but the back wheel on which
the brake was set was sliding along and
pushed the body a short distance. When
it was stopped the car had to be backed
a bit to loosen the boy who was pinned
underneath. Dr. Heath took the boy in
his automobile to the hospital, where
all medical aid possible was given him.
His parents were notified and We're there
before he died, but the lad never re-
gained consciousness
The boy was born here in Winooski
July 4, 1904. and leaves, besides his par
ents, two sisters, Mrs. Archie Mongeon
and Miss Rose Misaique, and one brother.
Louis Misaique. The funeral will be held
Saturday morning at s o'clock at st.
Francis Xavier church. Burial will be
in st. Francis cemetery.

REV. W. B. DUKESHIRE
SUED BY REV. o. E. AIKEN
Besides the St. Albans Clergyman, Three
Fairfax People Are Made Defend
ants in 100000 Action.

| Burlington, Jan. 3.-Thirty thousand
dollars, with just costs, is the amount oi
money that Rev. Orlando +. Aiken OF
this city seeks to recover in three sep
arate libel suits from Rev. w. B. Duke
shire of st. Adams and Arthur II. South
ard of Fairfax, from Fred c. Cherrier of
Fairfax and from Mabel Cherrier, also of
Fairfax, because he alleges the foregoing
defendants are guilty of malicious state
ments. The cases, which We're entered at
the county clerks Office yesterday, are
returnabe at the March term of county
court.
The plaintiff, who is a regularly or
dained minister OF the Methodist Episeo-
pal church, alleges that several griev-
ances were committed against his name
by the foregoing defendants, adding that
he has been injured in fame and credit,
and that his profession and ministry has
been brought into scandal.
Because of malicious statements, the
plaintiff claims his own townspeople re-
fuse to have anything to do with him,
also that he has been vexed, harassed.
and impoverished, has been
and is now deprived OF his salary and
means of employment. as well as of the
means of support of himself and OF his
family.
Other allegations set forth that he be-
lieves he has been otherwise injured by
the defendants, has suffered great mental
pain, anguish and sorrow, his health has
been greatly affected, and that he has
been and is now hindered and prevented
from obtaining employment.
The petitioner states that the state
ments were made on July Ia, 1917, in
Fairfax in certain discourse in the
presence and hearing of several good ard
worthy citizens, among whom are cited
$. s. Brigham, Ii. b: Bellows, NJ. B.
Hicks, NJ. j. Strait, Charles II. Brush |

CHAMPLAIN FREEZES OVER.
Earliest Closing of the Lake Known in a
Century.

| Burlington, Jan. 3.-Yesterday's cold
snap, on top of what had come before
was enough TO close over the broad lake
and yesterday afternoon before sunset
! the ice bridge was formed without flaw
between the breakwater and the New
| York shore, thus closing the lake at the
earliest date in a record kept for more
! than 100 years. The lake was not closed
| in the morning, but under the action of
the sun and the cold the ice was made
solid. The only open place to be discerned
anywhere from Burlington is a strip
south of Juniper island. There is usually
an open place to the north and south of
the island for several days after the
broad lake is frozen over.
Next to yesterday, the earliest known
date for closing over the lake was Jan. Z,
1868 In two other years the date of
closing over was Jan. s, in 1872 and 1887.
In one other year the lake was frozen
over Jan. o. but the average date of
freezing is about Jan. 81, or four weeks
later than yesterday.
Another point about the freezing over
of the lake is that it is of solidity
that usually does not come until into
February. Tuesday night Joseph Mi
meau, night Waterman for the Cham
plain Transportation company at Shell
burne harbor, drove his horse and cutter
across Shelburne bay to Queen City park
and came from there to Burlington. This
is an unheard-of trip at this time OF
wear. It has become necessary now to
make the channels around the boats in
the harbor, and this also is not usually
done until several weeks later than this.
The ice in the harbor last evening was
IL inches thick in places and making
rapidly.
With the ice. fishing shsnties already
have been placed on Shelburne bay. and
in a day or two smelt fishing will begin
around the breakwater. Skaters went
outside the breakwater yesterday. The
ice is i'm excellent condition.
