The recent death of Mrs Samuel
Rollins, which occurred at her son
Roberts home on April 18th, removes
from the home circle one of our old
est citizens. Most of her life was
spent in Newbury, as on October %,
1857 at the age of twenty-three years
she, as Miss Samantha Sulham,
became the wife of Samuel Rollins,
and the stepmother of his three sons
Frank, Charles and William, and
children: Fidelia, Lila M, Edwin l.,
Elvira L and Robert j. With the
care of this young family she develop
ed marked business ability and
with her careful management proved
herself a most worthy helpmate for
her husband, who was one of natures
nobleman, and honest man. Her
sunny disposition which radiated
from her face made her a mother in
deed to her little brood of children,
who now look back to the days of
their childhood with the fondest
which shaped their characters and
which has given to this generation
men and women of sterling integrity.
They indeed can call their mother
blessed She was a member of the
Congregational Church of this place,
and in the absence of her pastor,
Rev. o w Brock conducted her
funeral service. The interment was
at Boltonville in the Rollins family
lot beside her husband.
The Misses Mae Scruton and Elnah
Runnels are to represent the First
Congregational Sunday School at the
Older Girls Conference, which is to
be held at Brattleboro May 6 to 8.
Miss Mildred Melendy will go from
the Christian Endeavor Society. Any
girl wishing to go at her own ex-
pense may do so by giving her name
to Mr. Ives for registration as soon
as possible. Expenses are between
eight and nine dollars.
Our Listers are busy finding out
how poor we all are.
A West Fairlee item states that a
man was thrown into a ditch by a
runaway and that "He became fright
ened and ian, tipping the wagon
over, but fortunately no one was
hurt" We are mighty glad no one
was hurt, but really, we would like
to know if they have caught the
man and got him Gained down ? |
Please pardon our inquisitiveness.
Mr. Charles Taggart left Monday
for an extensive Western trip, and
we will have to put up with the
fact, that we will not see This Man
From Vermont until the middle of
September. He is booked for every !
night, except Sunday nights up to
that date, and then is allowed one
week to get acquainted with his
family, and then at it again until
Jan. 1st, 1922.
Mrs Noble Foss and family, after
spending pleasant winter in New
bury, have returned to their home in
Massachusetts.
Mrs N H Chadwick is in town for
the summer.
The Nellie Gill Players met with
cordial reception last Friday night.
MANY of their "Stand Patters" from
Haverhill, Pike and East Haverhill
were in the audience, and the bald
headed fellows sat up in the front
row same as usual. They are coming
now through the summer every other
Friday
One of our stately Danes, who
found mouse in her bed, got up
hastily without any regard as to the
style of her going. When first aid
arrived and she was etherized and
thoroughly Gained down, it was dis
covered that some mischievious per-
son, whose name better be unknown,
had placed within the folds of the
sheets a fake mouse, perfectly harm
less, but to a sensitive soul as big !
and scarey as an elephant. The party
who relates this tale, tells us that
many years ago wicked person fill !
ed his bed with June bugs. Ugh
that was bad enough, but it was
compared to this fake mouse.
We have received, through the De-
partment of State, Washington, d. c.,
a translation of an article from the
"Dagsposten" of Trond-
hjem, Norway, paying tribute to the :
life and character of the late Doctor {
Milo A Jewett. The article gives a |
sketch of DIR. Jewett, re-
ferring to his boyhood days in New
bury, his education in the schools of
and Boston, his graduation !
at the Medical School of Harvard |
University with the degree of M. d.,
his practice as a physician, his APP :
pointment as consul and the notable !
work and fine record he made as
such at posts in Turkey, Germany and
Norway. 1t goes on and eulogizes
this man who had so many friends in :
Newbury, and closes with these l
words: 1T can be truly said of Mr.
Jewett that he was good Samaritan. !
During his stay in Turkey he often
rendered unofficial medical aid to
the poor without remuneration. Mr. c
Jewett was an earnest Christian. He
belonged to the Congregational G
Church, and often conducted the a
church services. He was a musician !
and took an interest in works Of art. !
He played the organ and flute, paint
ed and drew"
