years, died in his home at 4 Estey street at 6:30 o'clock Saturday

Leroy Soper and Julia (Soper) Soper. Most of his life was spent in
Jamaica, where he followed farming and where he married Miss Alice Clark
May 1, 1917.  They came to Brattleboro to live about four years ago and
as long as Mr. Soper was able to work he was employed in the repair
department of the Wagner shoe store.  He was a member of no
organization.

        Besides his wife Mr. Soper leaves one daughter, Miss Leone Soper, who
lives at home, also his mother, Mrs. Julia Soper, and two brothers,
Kenneth R. Soper of Canal street and Leroy Soper of Vernon street.

        The funeral will be held at the Congregational church in Jamaica at 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. Mr. Vey officiating, and the burial
