        Mrs. Mary (Brown) Haywood, 92, widow of Jerry Haywood, who was a
well-known local carpenter, died at 6:15 o'clock this morning in the
house at 29 Walnut street in which she was married and which had been
her home since.  She had been in failing health a long time and two
weeks ago was taken seriously ill.  Death resulted from acute heart
trouble.

        She was the fifth of eight children of the late Alexander and Chloe

born in Brattleboro, Dec. 23, 1831  in the house on Canal street now
occupied by Mrs. Jonathan Howe and which then stood near the Vinton
paper mill.  She attended the schools here, including the high school.

        On March 7, 1854, she married Jerry Evans Haywood, the ceremony being
performed in the house at 29 Walnut street which Mr. Haywood just
finished.  Mr. Hawyood died Feb. 10, 1910.

        Mrs. Haywood united with the Centre Congregational church in 1858 and
for many years she taught a Sunday school class.

        She leaves two sons, Walter L. Haywood, an inspector in the Packard
Automobile factory in Detroit, Mich., and Henry S. Haywood who lived
with his mother.  She also leaves a grandson, George Leon Haywood, a
dentist in Detroit, and a brother, Richard A. Brown of Halifax and
Brattleboro.

        The funeral to which relatives, neighbors and intimate friends are
invited, in accordance with the wishes of Mrs. Haywood, will be held at
the home at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon.  Rev. Dt. Herbert P. Woodin,
pastor of the Centre Congregational church, will officiate and the
