ROY WARNER JOCELYN
Mr.. Jocelyn, of whom mention has
been made several times during the
last few weeks, passed away at his
home here Wednesday morning, June
16.
He had been in failing health for
three years and although everything
that medical skill and loving care
could do was done, he gradually grew
worse until the end came. AS his
trouble seemed to be unusual and
rather battling an autopsy was held
and a rather large tumor was found
on the brain. As the tumor grew it
consumed the brain. Mr.. Jocelyn
made a brave fight and it did seem
impossible to him to leave his dear
ones. His determination was such
that he worked nearly all the time
until coming here in April of this
year.
He was born in ST. Adams in 1882
and was the son of Willard B. and
Jeanette (Warner) Jocelyn. He
was a graduate of Swanton high
school in 1900, of Middlebury college
in 1904 and of Boston university Law
school in 1913. His ability was such
that he took the three years law
course in two years. For six years
he was successful lawyer in Swan
ton, then his health already begin
ming to fail he went to St. John, n.
B., hoping the change in climate
might be of benefit to him. While
there he worked as an immigration
officer.
In September, 1904, Mr.. Jocelyn
was united in marriage to Miss Ber-
tina Ranslow of Swanton, who with
their children, Eleanor, Willard and
Jeanette are left to mourn the loss
of one of the best of husbands and
fathers. To them the sympathy of
the entire community is given. There
is also left his father, W. B. Jocelyn
of Swanton, and brother, z. w. joe
As Mr.. Jocelyn's health was so
poor Mrs. Jocelyn decided to resume
her profession as high school teacher
and they came here where she has
proved a successful instructor and is
loved personally by every one of her
pupils.
Mr.. Jocelyn was a member of the
Congregational church at Swanton
and for several years was treasurer
of the society; a member of the Delta
Epsilon fraternity in college; Seven
ty-six lodge, No. Ia F. and A NJ, of
Swanton, and of the Franklin Coun-
ty Bar association.
The funeral was held Saturday af-
ternoon in the Congregational church
in Swanton, Rev. F. Wilson Day Off
ections. The bearers were Messrs.
the service at the grave and the Ma
sonic quartet sang appropriate sell
ections. Tie bearers were Messrs
B. III. Brown, o. C. Warner, George
Catlin, John Hurlbut, Walter Spear
and DIR. A. L. Cross. Burial was in

relatives and friends i'm Swanton and
adjoining towns, from friends and
the Congregational society here, from
the orders of which Mr.. Jocelyn was
a member and from the Congrega-
tional church at Swanton. Members
of the Masonic order here and neigh
bors gathered at the home here to
assist in the departure of the deceas-
ed and family, and other Masons

For all the many kindnesses shown
