The sudden death last week at Can

rick. for many years half owner Of the
famous Prudence Crandall home
stead. once more eenters attention on
one Of the most historic and at the
same time one Of the most beautiful
Colonial structures in all New Eng
land. Mr. Hetrick died suddenly a.
ar advanced age after several years
residence in the house alone with
many tragic memories. His wife, who
was a half owner Of the Crandall
house, died several years ago and in
1918 Mr.. hetrick lost MS only son,
Major Harold Storrs Hetriek. who
was mysteriously murdered at an ar
my post in Texas.
Early this summer the writer Of this
article visited Mr.. Hetrick in the beau
tiful old house on Canterbury Green.

with his books IN the library on the
first floor Of the house. Here he de-
clared that he vas waiting for death

did not care what was to become Of
the old house after his life had ended
He mad hoped that it would be the
home Of his son, to whom he frequent
- referred as the young man who
was azsassinated.
The house came into the Hetrick
family through Mrs Hetrick, who IN
herited half Of the property from
an uncle. Mr. Hetrick purchased the
other half Of the property from the
other heirs Of Mrs. Hetrick's uncle,
and here the couple lived in their de-
clining years after Mr. Hetriek had
retired from holding an active pastor
ate The deed for the house stands in
the joint names of Mr.. and Mrs. Het-
rick, and unless one group of hears
buys out the other the exceptionally
beautiful example Of Colonial arehi-
lecture will undoubtedly be put up for
public sale.

Finer Than LongfeIlow House

II Is unique that aside from its en-
inenee as beautiful structure the
Crandall house should be 50 closely
associated with the dramatic history
Of the famous Prudence Crandall
Standing as 1t does on Canterbury
Common, the house is the most com
manding structure IN the sleepy old
town Of lovely houses and quiet farms.
At first glance one is reminded Of the
Longfellow house at Cambridge. but
IA closer inspection and one sees that
the architect of the Crandall house
produced a building even more perfect
Of its period than the better known
Cragie mansion The house is square
in form, OF the later period of the
Georgian Colonial The woodwork of
its exterior is intricate and yet appro-
pirate The pitch Of the roof the bal.
anee Of the columns and the partieu
larry charming structure of the front
entrance are exceptionally beautiful
The Prudence Crandail house is tn,
kind of building which one looks at
with iftA ttaNifiE iHAtiNHA anu tftitttl
bers with particularly vivid pleasure
II is to be hoped that It's new owner
will be moved TO preserve Il in rs
present Colonial perfection.

school teacher When she was younl
woman she taught in the public
schools of Plainfeld.
Her school was so successful anC
she herself was so well educated
cultured. lady like and popular
that several ladies and gentlemen IN
the adjoining town Of Canterbury
wished her to establish private
school in their town so that their sons
and daughters could receive instruc
tions in branches OF learning above
what was taught in the district
schools There IN the fall Of 1881
she purchased the house now known
by her name. During the first year
everything went we'll The pupils
came from the most influential fam
lilies IN the town aud the school salts
feed their expectations and won favor
