S. French, of Valley View. Deceased had been in failing health for several months, and all that loving hands could do for his recovery proved unavailing, and the earthly end came to one of the noble lives which made this world better and brighter because he lived. The subject of this sketch way born at Woodstock, Vt., in 1844, and at the age of 20 came to Chicago. From that city he enlisted as a private in the Union cause and was promoted to the rank of sergeant. In the days of early mining in Colorado, he moved to Silver Cliff, where he lived for some time, serving two terms there as clerk of the county court. About two years ago deceased came to New Plymouth where he resided up to the time of his death. Appropriate funeral obsequies, conducted by Rev. C. H. Blom,. were held Saturday afternoon at Valley View. Two beautiful hymns sung by a quartet composed of Mesdames Burroughs and Stewart and Messrs. Preston and Stuve, were "Beautiful Gate" and "Go Bury Thy Sorrow." Interment was held at Park View cemetery. The funeral services were largely attended, and the relatives and friends have the sympathy of the entire community in this hour of their bereavement.
