GILBERT A. TRACY

Lincoln and Furnished Original
Letters That Were Highly Prixed.

Gilbert A. Tracy, 80, died at his
home just over the Putnam line IN
Killingly, Thursday night. He had
been in poor health for some time,
and the end was not unexpected.
Mr.. Tracy was born in Lisbon,
September 6, 1895. When young
man he removed to Killingly and en-
gagged in farming. For several years
he was principal of the old Fifth Dis
trict school in Putnam, now the Is
rael Putnam school. He walked back
and forth the several miles to his
home and never missed a day.
Mr. Tracy was friend of Theo-
dore Tilton, editor of the New York
independent, who died in Paris. Some
years ago Mr.. Tracy erected a monu-
ment to his friends memory in West
field Cemetery, Danielson.
Mr.. Tracy was also great admirer
Of Abraham Lincoln, and had in his
possession many of Lincoln's letters.
Miss Ida M. Tarbell, the famous writ
er, came to Putnam several times to
consult with Mr.. Tracy regarding
their publication. Miss Tarbell edit
ed the book subsequently published
that made a new complete edition"
of Lincoln's writings a matter Of his
torical necessity. The book, which
was published, contained 264 octave
pages and contains many notable ex-
pressions of Lincoln's views.
Mr.. Tracy leaves two daughters,
Ellen, who is a teacher and lives at
home, and Mary, who teaches at Pas
sale, n. j., and son, Ralph.
