DAVID DONALD 'GILMOUR.

After long and lingering illness,
David Donald Gilmour passed away
at his home here on Nov. l, 1920.
He was born at Glover, March 20,
1864. His early life was spent on
home farm which he later bought.
Shortly after his marriage to Mar
garet Teller, on June II, 1896, the
buildings were destroyed by fire. He
From West Glover he removed to
Barton and later to Lyndon, where
he bought the Valley Farm. On ac-
count of failing health he sold the
farm and for two years lived in Lyn-
donville.
In the fall of 1918 he bought of
Roy Burroughs a part of the Everett
McDuffee farm on the Upper Plain
at Bradford. In July he sold the
farm to his son-in-law, VIM. S Bailey,
and bought a house in this village,
where he lived less than two months
when death claimed him.
Mr. Gilmour was an active member
of the Congregational Church and a
man highly respected by all who
knew him. He was a tender and de-
voted husband and father and will be
greatly missed in the home circle
During the illness of his wife he
scarcely left her except for a few
hours, when necessary caring for her
as long as his strength permitted.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife
and three daughters, Agnes, (Mrs
VIM. S Bailey, Bertha M. and Helen
NJ, brother at West Burke and a
sister in California
The funeral service was held at
his home here on Nov. 3, 1920, Rev.
j Hutchinson of Barton, former
pastor, officiated. Burial at Glover.

A PROCLAMATION.

The fathers have left us an annual
custom of great worth. The boys
who returned from the trenches and
the memory of their comrades have
preserved it. Thanksgiving is the
family holiday, sacred in its signifi-
canoe. 1t is exceedingly valuable to
pause in this hurried world to do a
little real thinking and to reflect up
on our opportunities, successes and
blessings. Our Country each day
some criticism and it is well to
appreciate its strength, its ideals
and its achievements, human and
continuous. 1t is encouraging to note
the widespread manifestation of
earnest thought and deliberation in
striving to determine a procedure
that shall quench smoldering diff
culties and promote world peace.
The more the whole people think,
the farther the Nation journeys to-
ward constructive progress. Prayer
is the survey of our ideals.
Through this past year the inhabi-
tants of our own State have been
blessed with peace and prosperity.
Our daily labors have brought US
bountiful rewards. We are slowly
recovering from the effects of the
World War. Law and order are
supreme within our borders. Let as
thank God for the blessings we have
received, look into our hearts and
pray that prosperity may continue
with US and that rights of liberty
which we enjoy may be preserved to
us and to our children forever.
To that end !, Percival w. Glenn
ent, Governor, hereby appoint Thurs
day, November %, 1920 Day of
Thanksgiving and Prayer, and call
upon the people of Vermont to sus-
pend their daily business and to
gather in their homes and places of
worship in celebration of Thanks
giving Day.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State, at Mont
pelier, this tenth day of November
in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and twenty, and of the
Independence of the United States,
the one hundred and forty-fifth.

the late Bishop Coleman, was of a
far different type, one that has US
ually been called high churchman.
During the administration of Bishop
Lee practically all the parishes in the
diocese adhered to the low standard.
The sO-called Oxford movement had
made little if any impression upon
them except opposition. During the
administration of Bishop Coleman
there was here and there a percep-
tible change, a more ornate rit-

went on throughout the country.
