        Perry G. Dawley, 67, of 47 Pine street, auctioneer for 35 years, died

conductor on the White Mountain train on the Vermont Valley railroad,
running from Brattleboro to Windsor.  For the past 29 years he had been
general agent for the New England Fertilizer Co. of Boston, which
position he held at the time of his death.

        He married Miss Addie B. Holden of Mount Holly Oct. 12, 1881.  They had
five children, three of whom survive:  Mrs. A.L. Casey of Brattleboro,
Mrs. H.E. Lane of Vernon, and Perry G. Dawley, jr., of Union City, N.J.
He leaves six grandchildren, Ellen and Earl Dawley, Margaret, Augustine,
and Norman Casey, and Addie Belle Lane.  He also leaves three brothers
and three sisters.

        He was a charter member of the Brattleboro lodge of Elks, and had been
a member of the Masonic Lodge in Bellows Falls and the Knights of
Pythias of Rutland, and a member of the Order of Railway Conductors.

        The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at Moran &
Rohde's funeral home.  Teh burial will take place in Westminster.
