Mrs. Charles f. Percival.

Mrs. Emma L. c. Percival died late
in the afternoon Friday, March z, in
a Vermont sanitarium. The immedi-
ate cause of her death was paralysis,
the ultimate outcome of worry. She
was born in Springfield, Mass, Jan.
II, 1868, the daughter of the late
Simpson and Lois E. BROWN Clark.
After graduating from the high
school in Springfield and from the
Westfield normal school, she taught
evening school and at different times
had two Sunday school classes of
boys.
On March z, 1900, she was married
to Charles F. Percival, manufactur-
er of this town. Following her mar
riage she came here to live and re-
mained here four years. Then in
1904, at the death of her step-moth-
er. she and her husband with their
two children, Lois and Laura, return
ed to Springfield to make a home for
her father in his house.
For the past three years she has
been under a nervous strain, which
affected her health, although last
year she was much improved in
health. and spent the year
in Burlington with her daughters and
with her husband, when he was able
70 leave Springfield.
She made many constant friend
everywhere she went. Her beautiful
nature and remarkable personality
we're known best by those who knew
her longest and most intimately. Her
avenness of temper, sincerity and
frankness were qualities of her daily
life
She was afTiliated with Delphi

SUES RAILROAD FOR 1897 200
Widow of Ex-Gov. Prouty Begins Ac-
tion against Grand Trunk.

Papers were served last week at
Island Pond by United States Mar
shall Arthur p. Carpenter of Brattle-
boro in an action brought in the Unit
ed States district court for the dis
trict of Vermont by Henrietta Prouty,
widow of the late ex-Gov. Geo. II.
Prouty of Newport, against the Grand
Trunk Railway company of Canada,
for the sum of $500, 900. This action rs
brought to recover damages for the
death of Gov. Prouty, who was killed
on a grade crossing on the Grand
Trunk railroad in the town of Ascot,
Can, last August. Gov. Prouty and
his chauffeur, James W. Blay, drove on
to the crossing in the early morning
of Aug. 10, 1918, and were struck by
4 south-bound Grand Trunk train and
the ex-governor was instantly killed
The negligence complained of is that
that crossing was not properly pro-
tected by a bell signal which the rail
way company had installed at this
place as a warning to travellers. The
signal was supposed to ring when
trains were approaching the crossing
from either direction, but at the time
of the accident, the plaintiff AYERS, it
was out of repair and failed to give
warning and notify the occupants of
the automobile tnat the tram was ap-
preaching.
Two other cases have been started
against the Grand Trunk Railway
company, growing out of the same
accident, one by James w Blay, the
chauffeur, who was severely injured
at the time of ex-Gov. Prouty's death
This action is also brought in the
United States district court for the
district of Vermont against the Grand
Trunk railway and is for 100000. A
third action has been started by Mrs.
Henrietta Prouty for $1,000 to recov-
er for the automobile, which was COM
pletely demolished. All three of these
cases are returnable at the May term
of the United States district court at
Windsor. The attorneys for the plain
tiff in these cases are Farman d
Prouty of Newport.

Gen. Edwards Praises Unit County
BOYS Are In.

Many Orleans county boys are in
the 101st ammunition train which is
overseas in the division of which Gen.
Edwards has charge. Gen. Edwards
spoke in Montpelier and Barre the
first of the week and said there was
no better ammunition train in France
than the 101st, which was composed
mostly of Vermonters, giving that
organization the first public an
nouncement of credit that it has re-
ceived. He also paid a compliment
to the supply train in which there
are many Vermonters.
General Edwards paid high tribute
to the 'stout-hearted lads" from Yer
mont, reviewed the conditions under
which he was placed in command of
the 26th division, the hurry call to
get overseas, the difficulties of train
ing in France, the need which came
for their services before they had re-
ceived the usual three months train
ing, and their splendid conduct under
entirely new and soul-racking horrors
of war.
He gave the minister and anoth-
er man, whom he did not name, an
awful arraignment for the statements
they made as to the pollution of the
boys by disease. At that time there
were only six in the division incapaci-
tated by disease, he said, and there
were hardly any held for court mar
tiaL He told the girls to wait for
the boys to come back, that they
would find them men, instead of
boys, fitted to make the best of hus-
! bands.
The story of the closing of the St.
/ Mihiel salient showed his confidence
/ in the division. He gave Captain
/ Shelton of Fair Haven q fitting COM
/ pliment for the way in which he
/ handled the machine gun company
! he was commanding in the closing of
/ the salient.
