 T. B. Carney
 The death of Thomas B. Carney of 27 Homer street, Waterville, which took place yesterday at St. Mary's hospital, removes one of the best known business men in the Waterville section of the city and one of Waterville's outstanding cit izenS.
 MT. Carney was a native of FL mira, N. Y, but had been a resi- dent of Waterbury for many years. More than thirty eight years ago he established drug business in Wa terville and since that time his store has been popular meeting place for local people of all walks of life. MT. Carney was one of the most widely-read and best-in- formed men in the community and his interesting discussions and expressions of opinion always found many ready listeners. He was a tremendous force in the moulding of public opinion in Waterville. Dur ing recent years he had been the victim of failing vision which had done much to reduce his activity in community affairs, but during that period his keen mind was even more alert than ever to current events and developments and his power as a brilliant conversation alist and wit continued to draw friends to his corner store.
 He had been an active member of the Waterbury Lodge of Elks, having served in all of the offices of the lodge, his term as exalted ruler having been in 1911-1912. He was a member of the charity com- mittee of that lodge for two sea- sons. He also served a term as grand knight of the Waterbury Council of the Knights of Columbus. Other organizations of which he was a member were the Holy Name society of St. Michael's church and the Independent Order of Foresters.
 Surviving him are his wife. Mrs. Margaret Troy Carney; a daughter,
