Nelson Palmer, the little son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh Palmer, passed away
last week OF pneumonia, aged about
six years. Funeral services were held
on Sunday afternoon, conducted by
Rev J. H. Ellis, whose tender and low
ing message was a comfort to the be-
= reaved family. The sympathy of the
many friends and little playmates was
attested by the profusion of beautiful
flowers which surrounded the white
casket, where little Nelson lay at rest.
Interment was made in Barratt's Gem

funeral.

Last Saturday afternoon the beau
tiful home of John NJ. Reed, at Reed
Place, was discovered to be on fire.
The family was away from home at
the time but neighbors and farm hands
worked heroicly to keep the fire under
control until the arrival of the Milford
Fire Company, which quickly extin-
guished the fire and saved the build
ing, which is large three-stOry struc-
ture. The cause of the fire is un-
known but started in the front cellar
where wood and kindling we're stored.
Much damage was done to the first
floors of the house by the fire and
smoke has injured the entire interior
of the building. Mr.. Reed wishes to
thank everyone who assisted in any
way to save his home.
