Little Nella Aletha Bradley was
born June Z, 1920, died June 10, 1922
They watched over their darling
baby till her blue eyes closed in sleep
and they knew their baby's soul had
flown beyond their reach
In sleep they could not follow, the
treasure they loved so well, none but
the angels could guide her, none but
God could tell
But God in His infinite wisdom hath
deemed it wisest and best to beckon
their sweet little baby away from a
worlds unrest.
They are blind with pain and the
way seems dark and cold, but they
know their little Nella is safe in heav-
ems fold. FRIEND.

the subject OF Mr.. Crozier's address.
on a table in the front Of
the room Mr.. Crozier had
grouped various Indian implements,
according to the kind OF material
from which they had been made.
He pointed out that the locality in
which the tribe camped determined
the material from which the Indians
made their implements, and tina.

for the findings in Delaware OF

is 1T REDFIELD?

The first American ancestor OF
the Redheld family came 10 the
New World from England in the
year 1880 and settled south OF the
Charles river. about six miles from
Boston-which, Of course. IN those
days wasn't much OF a settlement.
Indeed, the wilderness six miles
away was probably not much differ
ent from the town then.
Later on this hardy first settler
removed 20 Pequot. now New Lon
don, Conn. His wife was named
Rebeoca- They had a son James.
and he had Theophllus. OF Killing
worth, Conn, who was born at Say
brook. These early Redhelds were
not content 20 settle down IN one
spot and stay there for generations.
They we're OF a rowing disposition,
apparently. and went from place 20
place quite frequently. Theophilus
had a son Peleg. OF Clinton, Conn.
who was a captain IN the Second
Regiment OF the Connecticut forces
under Colonel Nathan whiting in
what Is called the Old French war.

General Amherst, and II was while

Holdridgs-There seems TO be
little data for this family. The
name Is OF English origin and seems
to have been spelled Holdred as
often as Holdridge in early colonial
days. There was a william Hold

new world on the Elizabeth" in
1885, aged rs. He was a tanner
from the Parish OF ST. Alphage.
Cripplegate, London. He settled
first al Salisbury. Mass, but later
established himself az Haverhili.
Mass. His children were Mary.
Rebecca, william, Sarah, Mehitable.
Abigail and Samuel.
Apparently the Holdridgss were
settled in Groton. Conn, az an
early date. There was an Amos
Holdridge, OF that place. who mar
ried a .Philura Guild in 1905. Many
OF their descendants went 10 Michi-
gan and the Holdridges seem 10 be
numerous in that State today.

PART OF GOODS.
Right of Appeal Is Raised
In Smith Liquor
. Case
FINED $50 ON
ONE CHARGE

On a charge OF keeping a disor-
derry house. Thomas Smith. Negro,
2 Mechanic street, was fined $50 and
costs and on a charge OF Illegal pos
session OF liquor he was held in $500
bail for court by Deputy Judge Lynn
In Municipal Court this morning. He
was arrested as a result OF a dis
turbance at the house Monday night
After the hearing. a charge Of
perjury was placed against Leon
Cain, Negro. a defense witness. by
Assistant City Solicitor Green, who
stated that he proposes TO put a stop
TO false testifying in court cases.
The case will come up tomorrow.
Cain was also held IN 5000 ban
as a witness in the liquor case and
Emma Richards, Negroes, was held
in 500 bail as a witness in the
same case.
Philip L. Garrett, attorney for
Smith gave notice Of an appeal after
the imposition OF the fine in the
disord eriy house charge. Mr.. Green
held that, as the fine did not amount
20 500 he had no right OF appeal.
Mr.. Garrett, however. held that the
charge was brought under city
ordinance and that. IN that case, he
did have a right Of appeal, but Mr..
Green said that the charge was
brought under a State statute. In
that event, Mr. Garrett argued.
Municipal Court did not have juris-
diction in the matters. Judge Lynn
set Friday for argument on the
question.
In connection with the liquor
charge, Smith claimed that he had
purchased the belongings OF Emma
Richards and that the gallon Of gin
was part OF the goods. This was de-
MED by Emma, however, who, sup
ported by other witnesses, maintain
ed that Thomas had sent Cain for
