He was native of Bristol, Vt, a son of Rev. Nathanian and Betsy Fitch Rawson, and of a family long associated with the affairs of the Green Mountain state.
 Tn early life Mir. Rawson came into this section of Connecticut to make his home and remained, living for a great many years in the town of Hampton and Brooklyn efore coming to Elmville eev years ago to make in home with his son.
 During the first years of his residence in Killingly he followed his trade as cabinet maker, but eventually gave up this work for farming, a pursuit in which many years of his long life were spent. . MT. Rawson's long span of life witness sed the tremendous growth in population and development of the United States. When he was born, less than 10, GOO, 900 people were resident in this great country and there were only 265, ,000 people in the state of Connecticut. James Munroe, fifth h the line of presidents, was at the head  stirring memories of the war of 1872 were still very much alive. And since that day Mir. Rawson whose name is on the voting list of the town of Killing ly has lived under the administrations of twenty-four presidents. Only four president of the United States-George Washington. John Adams. Thomas Jeffer- son and James Madison-held of Bee prior to Mir. Rswsons birth. though President Munroe had served five of his eight years as president when Mir Raw son was born.
 When the Civil war burst with all it's fury upon the country Mir. Rawson was 3s years of age, yet his life extended through 61 more years. Throughout life he was endowed with good health and personally gave little credence to medical science. Only a few months ago he made the comment, his state of health requiring medical attention. that he didn't want any physicians to visit him, declar- ing that he had lived long enough and could not understand why anyone should wish to make him live longer
 The past few months his faculties have not been so clear as was the case up 10 year or more ago, but his last
 
 Saturday was rather unexpected.
 In addition to the son at whose home this wonderful old man died, he leaves another son, Joseph H. Rawson, of Mil lord.
