Fred French

A telegram has been received here
by Mr.. and Mrs. Everett T. Good
rich, announcing the death Of Fred
French in Minneapolis, Mimi, where
he and Mrs. French had been pass
ing nearly two years. They went
west a year ago last October to be
with their son, Guy French, who is
engaged in the roofing business in
Minneapolis. The family home was
at the corner of West Front and AL
der streets in this village and it will
be opened in readiness for their ar
rival.
Mr.. French was about 70 years old
and was one OF the veteran oil cloth
men OF this town. He went to Win
throp many years ago and there
learned his trade with the original
Baileys, who founded the enterprises
both in Winthrop and in Skowhegan.
He later came to this town and was
for long time connected with this
industry in the days OF its existence
in this community. For some years
he had been retired. Forty-one years
ago he was married to Miss Ella
Goodrich of Athens and until their
departure for the west their entire
married life was passed in Skowhe-
gan. They have two children, the
son already referred to and a daush-
ter, Mrs. Samuel Lord of Lynn, Mass.
Mr.. French was an attendant at the
Christian Science services in this
place and was very helpful to the
society. He was also for a long time
a member Of the Ancient Order of
United Workmep.
