Funeral of Joseph Neagle at St.
Elizabeth's Monday

The death of Joseph J. Neagle,
which occurred very suddenly Sat
urday morning was great sur
prise and shock to his friends,
who, although they knew that his
health was very precarlous, had
not realized the great change was
so near.
Mr.. Neagle was born in New
Irelnd, Que, Sept. 7, 1866, and
was one Of a large family of CHI l.
dren. He first came to Lyndon
vile over 80 years ago, and was
first employed in the meat business
by E. f. Wilder. He was then IN
business with Charles Bullock,
Philo Graves, and family continued
the business of butchering, him
self, making good success at it,,
and was we'll liked by his custom
ers. In 1911 he bought of the late
O. G. Chase the Pleasant View
House, and continued the hotel
business, and in 1915 he leased the
Hotel Lyndon, and kept the for
mer place as lodging house. AS
a landlord he was most successful,
and under the management of
himself and wife, Hotel Lyndon
attained Il good reputation among
the travelling public. In November,
1920, failing health compelled him
to retire from active business, and
he has since lived at the Pleasant
View House, gradually failing
from enlargement of the liver, and
consequent heart weakness, which
caused his death. Mrs. Neagle was
born Mary Mccartney of New Ire
land, where they were married in
1894, having always made their
home here. Mr.. and Mrs. Neaglc
have had no children of their own,
but they have been like parents to
number of young people, who
have good cause to bless their
name, especially among them a
iephcw, Harry Mccartney, who has
been as their son for more than
twenty-one years.
Mr.. Neagle was a genial, pleas
ant man, well liked by ALL and had
many friends. Besides his wife, he
leaves five brothers and two sisters

MI. Hastings found an opportu-

spring a place that would delight
for years to come both man and
beast. No one can stop at this
famous spring without paying his
tribute to the thoughtfulness of
Nh. Hastings in identifying this
spot.
Mr.. Hastings loved music, lead
ing for many years an orchestra
which furnished enjoyment at
many parties and suppers. AS a
bass viol player he had few equals
and no superiorS in this commun-
itY Fond of the social life he
took a great interest in the in
ception and growth of the "My-
stlc Club" an organization which
will bring hack to many gentle
men memories of enjoyable even
ings at cards and billiards. He
was equally fond of the outdoor
life, was an enthusiastic fishe:-
man, and planned annually
tip to the Maine woods where
men find their highest enjoyment.
Nj. Hastings had an affection
fol St. Johnsbury that was an in
spilation to his friends. If any
one uttered sharp criticism he
was the first to rally to its de-
Tense, often expressing his loyal
ty to the town in articles for the
local papers that were full of
looking to a bigger
and better St. Johnsbury. Others
with larger means have done more
for the town, but there has been
no one with a more generous ma
ture that responded to every APP
peal in so substantial a way that
it surprised his friends. In his
death st. Johnsbuly has lost a
