 Mrs Reed wishes to thank neigh
 bors and friends. who have in so many
 ways shown sympathy and helpful
 kindness through the entire time of
 her husbands illness, She also ex- lpresses thanks and appreciation for
 the beautiful flowers sent by the Fed
 erated church and by the Hill Sunday
 school of which MT Reed was for sev-

 The snow lends Wintry aspect to
 the landscape, and that is all.
 Miss Lillian Klecak was at home at
 East Wilmington for the weekend, ac-
 companied by Miss Helen Pospisil of
 South Wilmington.
 Next Sunday the collection of the
 Sunday school will be for the Far
 East relief, as will that of the Sunday
 school at Memorial church.
 Hans M Hansen and family started
 for their trip to Deland, Florida, on
 Monday E. c. Carpenter carries on
 
 as usual.
 Mrs. Sleight, who came from New
 York on account of her mothers criti-
 cal illness was obliged to return the first of the week, and Mrs. Brown is
 so fortunate as to have with her Miss
 Jessie D. Bennett, trained nurse. Mrs.
 Cosgrove is still very feeble. -
 All of the large congregation appre-
 ciated the sympathy and comforting
 spirit of the church services Sunday morning as all had shared the sorrow of the sudden death of Mrs. DeWolf, the distressing illness of Mrs. Cos 1 grove and the passing away of Mir. Reed, habitual attendant for years, on Friday morning. The theme of the inspiring sermon was "The man of the Hour"
 The sum of SIP was realized at the very pretty entertainment given by the girl scouts Friday evening. The pro- gram will be repeated next Saturday evening in the Sunday school room, and a collection will be taken for the 1 Christmas tree. The appointed com mittee are Misses Doris Amidon and Elizabeth Parker. This gives another l opportunity to contribute to the | Christmas tree fund without resorting to solicitation. All should show inter- | est by their presence as well as by | their gifts.
 Colonel Hall has been in Washing | ton for some days and as usual, inter 1 estingly remembers the stay-at-homes. l He has been having permanent and , filial work done at the Parker family plot near the Hall Mausoleum. where MT. Tucker and his men are engaged | in grading. The interest continually 1 expressed by those interested in the l old Hill section of the cemetery give promise of extensive and permanent work there during the coming sum- mer. If all who call Amos Preston great grandfather would make a small contribution it would help to perpet- l uate what he himself started, as can be seen by article in last weeks Press. The death of Chauncy F. Reed, 75, on Friday morning removes an active man of affairs, a kind, thoughtful l neighbor, a constant church attendant, ! and a pleasing Optomistic personality, who will be very much missed in many ways. MT. Reed was a member of Co., ID" second c. V. Heavy Artillery, was very patriotic and loved the flag, be- lieving that it's display upon the school houses, as required ty law, was an object lesson not to e disregarded. He was always prominent on Memo rial day, leading the procession, and his tall erect figure, G. A. R. uniform and military bearing, will long be re- membered, especially by the children, who are questioning as a S t6 t how how the day can be observed without him. He was member of Admiral Foote G A. R. post, New Haven, an officer of the State Humane society, had been door keeper at the capitol, Hartford, and was well known and had many friends in all parts of the state. MT. Reed loved his pretty comfortable home and was devoted to his wife, children and grandchildren. His oldest child, Mrs. J. s. Day, of Philadelphia, who has been with him for two weeks, has six children, Norman, Marion, Olive, Rob | ert. John s. and Edward. His son, Louis Reed, of New Haven, has five | children, Lucille, Elizabeth, Chauncy, | Maxwell and a son born two hours after the death of his grandfather. His son, Burton P. Reed of New Ha- ven, has three children, Kenneth Don aid, Burton P. Jr. Jessie Reed, his daughter, Mrs. F. s. Tyler, of Willing ton, has one son, Richard Tyler. The i grandson, Donald, has lived for sever al years with his grandparents, as he is very fond of the farm, and likes l country better than city life Mr. Reed was for many years a builder in New Haven and took great pride and pleasure in remodeling the colonial house, the home of Willington's first and fitting it up with modern water, heat and cleo trlcity. Many guests from far and near can affectiOnately testify to Ii the ideal hospitality of the cheerful nome. There was a prayer at the house Monday morning by Pastor AL len for the family, only. Funeral di- rectors Baker and O'Halloran had charge of the party to New Haven, where the funeral was held in charge )f the G. A. R. Post and the burial was n the family plot there Miss Hall 'ent her beautiful closed car for Mrs. Reed and the family Mrs. Reed is ! from badly sprained ankle ' hat is causing her great discomfort. \ lady friend accompanied her on her eturn from New Haven and will re- nain for the present. Mrs. Reed and ' frs. Tyler have the respect and affec- iOnate sympathy of the entire commit ! ! ity.
