A. N. VANCE
On Friday, Sept. 27, our town was
overawed to learn that Albert N.
Vance had had shock and could not
recover. 1t is such loss to a town
to have a good citizen struck down
before his time, when he has become
man to be relied upon, and trusted
with business other than his own.

learned the upholstery business and
lived in Barton ten years or more,
where he married Miss Mabel Clog
ston, and where he laid her away with
ried Miss Maud Newton and to them
have been born three children, Maur-
ice, just coming to manhood, and
Mabel and Helen, young ladies of
promise. He was a grandson of Hon.
Isaac Newton Hall of Groton, who so
many years was strong pillar of the
Methodist church, and steady stan
dard bearer for Montpelier seminary
In Albany, Bert has lived on the farm
where his father and mother first
started, and where they reared a
large family, Albert being the only
son. Besides his wife and children
