NElV-OANAAN.
Mr. John \V. Lockwood died very sud-
denly at Rocky Hill, Conn., on Saturday
morning, the seventh, inst. 110 was con-
versing with his wife and in the middle of
sentence without agroan or struggle
expired. A wife, three married daugh-
mi‘s and a son survive him. His remains
were brought to New Canaan in a special
our on Monday, accompanied by the fam-
lly, and Mr. Lockwood’s pastor, the Rev.
F. E. Hopkins. Funeral services were
held on Tuesday afternoon and the inter-
ment was in the village cemetery. Mr.
Lockwood was born in this town in 1824,
but left here early in life. He was first
married in 1848, and in 1840 went to Cal-
ifornia, and was among the first to settle
Sacramento City. He painted the first
business sign put tip in that town, anti
the parties refusing to pay for it, he had
the first law—suit conducted there, which
he won. While engaged in placer mining
his health failed and he returned to New
York. Subsequently he engaged in bus-
iness at Rocky Hill, but gave it up to ac-
cept a position with a wholesale drug
house in New York. While with this firm
he became interested in the inspection of
oil, and after a time moved to Philadel.
phia where he resided for many years.
His first wife died on New Year’s Day,
1881, and Mr. Lockwood did not re-
marry until December, 1887. Having re-
tired from active business it was Mr.
Lockwood’s intention to enjoy his sum-
niers in New Canaan and his winters else-
where. This plan he carried outlast sum—
mer and the winter months he spent at
Bermuda. He intended viSiting Califor-
nia this winter, having a desire to see the
localities to which he sailed forty years
ago. He had not been complaining of
late, but rather felt unusually well, which
rendered his family and friends the less
prepared for the shock. His death was
caused by paralysis of the heart. The
Lockwood family cover a period in Amer-
ican history of more than one hundred
and fifty years, and there have been many
distinguished members, but none more
upright than the deceased.
At the regular meeting of the historical
society at Mr. Albert Comstock’s residence
on the ninth, the following officers were
elected :—President, Joseph F. Silliman ;
first vice-president, W. G. Brownson, M.
D.; second vice-president, Rev. F. E.
Hopkins; third vice-president, W. W.
Kirk; recording secretary, Andrew F.
Jones; corresponding secretary, Mrs. C,
H. Demeritt; treasurer, Mr. A. S. Com-
stock.
Mrs. Geo. L. Darin has been quite ill at
her residence on Talmadge hill, but is re-
covering.
Joseph F. Silliman, Jr., returned to his
studies in Lafayette college on Wednes-
day, the eleventh.
Although heavy winds and considerable
quantities of rain swept over our hills
during the storm last week, no material
damage is reported.
The Rev. Mr. Scofield, of the Metho-
dist church, courteously consented to fill
Mr. Hopkins’ pulpit on the eighth, he
having been suddenly called by Mr. Lock-
wood’s family to Rocky Hill, by reason of
Mr. L’s sudden death.
Dr. Brownson attended an important
surgical operation at Pound Ridge, on
Tuesday.
The monthly Band of Hope meeting
was well attended on the evening of the
eighth, at the Congregational church.
Young DeVana, who assaulted a man
in Bridgeport recently, got ten months in
jail for his offence, and the cowboy caught
stealing about a hundred dollars from
Stephen Hoyt’s Sons has gone to State’s
prison fora year. Judge Hall did this
for the honor of the law on the eleventh.
We notice Westport wants a town
memorial hall, and if she gets it, proposes
to locate it in the middle of the river.
New Canaan desired the same thing last
year, and located it up the spout to keep
company with sidewalks, Macadamized
roads and the electric light. Selah!
It'is rumored that a man under the hill
just out. of the village, who has been
caught before, and another man who
don’t live a hundred miles from the oppo-
site side of the street to the Hotel, and
another who has already been spanked
for being naughty in this way, are selling
liquor withont a license. The law’s delay
is proverbial, but he way of the transgres-
sor is hard, just the same. Nuisances,
here is your eye-opener, now quit.
THE GAZETTE is making friends in New
Canaan. A gentleman well informed,
pronounced a recent issue the best
paper he had ever seen. So scratch away
Gmrrnnas.
Ted Brownson has returned to his
studies in Yale. Hanford Weed and
Lewis Hall and other New Canaan boys
will all be there by the twentieth. Prob-
ably we have as many college bred men
and as many in the way as any town of
our size in the state. In the Congrega-
tional church almost every Sabbath Mr.
Hopkins preaches to nearly twenty who
have had collegiate training.
It is hoped the Fortnightly club will
soon resume its meetings. This is an
association of ladies and gentlemen for
literary culture.
The annual struggle for local option will
begin this week. Although for several
years the town has gone dry, the friends
of “socialirrigation” have not tired.
The Rev. Mr. Selieck, of Norwalk, was
expected in St. Mark’s church on the
eighth, but he sent a substitute.
Miss Martha Silliman is now her father’s
eificient bookkeeper in his popular place
of bus'ncss on Main street.
Dr. Willard Parker hasa letter in this
week’s Messenger, which New Canaanites,
in many instances, construe as a kind of
scolding-
NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1889.
It is feared by some that there will be a
good deal of blundering at the coming
election, owing to the change of the
method of voting. It would not be a bad
idea for circulars to be printed condens-
ing the law, and giving its main features,
to be distributed to every voter in the
town. Even then some could not get it
through their heads.
The hand of the future is already on the
rope that rings the merry, merry wedding
bells.
Mr. Peter advertises for somebody to
lay a long line of stone fence and dig a
well. Labor is scarce here in New Can-
aan.
More houses are contracted for and are
in process of erection or are about com-
pleted than have been built at one time
before in a long time, if ever before.
Plenty of room left, come one and all.
There was a sale of Texan mustangs in
front of the Hotel last Saturday. The
animals were not at all prepossessing in
appearance.
Friendship Division held an opening
meeting Saturday evening and Mr. Hop-
kins made an address.
Warren, the well—known organist of
Grace Church, New York, has been en-
gaged to give a recital in St. Mark’s church
on the evening of the 26th.
Mr. anti Mrs. Albert Comstock will
leave for the City the latter part of the
month.
There is to be a grand rally in Bay-
mond’s Hall on Thursday evening of this
week, in behalf of local option and the
prohibitory amendment. Rev; F. E. Hop-
kins speaks.
Miss Gertrude Pinney has returned
from the Catshills much improved in
health.
Under local option and the influence of
the Band of Hope, our boys are coming
up to manhood free from the temptations
of the saloon. We all know drunkards
are made from young men. We are try-
ing to check the evil of ourselves by
beginning at the beginning. Strange is it
not that all good men will not assist us,
but they do not and will not.
WESTPOR 1!
Reports from Litchfield are to the effect
that Supt. Elijah S. Downs is no better.
Miss Hattie Marvin. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William H. Marvin has returned
from a two weeks visit to Weymouth,
Mass.
Mrs. Manson Perry, of Cross Highway,
one of the best known residents of that
district, was stricken with paralysis one
day last week.
The highway superintendent will find
much in various parts of the town to oc-
cupy his attention before winter arrives.
All roads on hillsides have been gullied by
the late rains and there is work to do not
anticipated when the contract for high.
way repairing was made.
As if rejoicing that the storm is over
some trees which have been stripped of
leaves by the worms are putting outleaves
a second time, and in two instances blos-
soms add to the seeming joy—an apple-
tree by Mrs. Charles Fable and a bell
pear tree by Mrs. F. H. Nash.
Robbers, who are believed to have local
habitations,entcred.the residence of the
venerable Peter W. Sturges, of Cross
Highway, a few days since and relieved
him of some $50- nearly all the mouey he
had. M. Sturges liven alone and sleeps
sound. If he had had a nice little wife
the rascals would have been less likely
to succeed.
Miss Libbie McBride, of Saugatuck,who
was 21 years old on last Fourth of July,
died last Wednesday. Her funeral was
held Friday afternoon in the Mctkodist
church, Mev. Mr. Tellman the pastor offl-
eiating, and the burial was in the Christ
church cemetery. The father of the de-
ceased, Mr. A. J. McBride, was a soldier
in the late war.
The tombstones placed twenty or more
years ago in Christ church cemetery to the
memory of Nelsen Jarvis and wife of New
York, have been re-erectcd in Willow
Brook over the remains which were re-
moved there some time ago. In the same
plot has been erected a fine granite memo-
rial to the late Walter T. Marvin. of New
York, a native of this town.
Mr. Lloyd Nash’s new cider mill has ar~
rived from Ohio, and will be erected on
the site of the old one and be ready for
business this week. It weighs 7,000
pounds, and the press will be operated by
hydraulic power. Cloths for the purpose
will be used to hold the cheese instead of
straw. Very rapid and effective work is
promised. The mill attracts attention.
The Westporter howls because a writer
in the Standard alluded to the ofiice of
town clerk as being in an undertaker’s
shop, and calls it a reflection on the town.
So long as the clerk does his work well,
which is the case in this instance it mat-
ters not where that work is performed, as
every man of sense knows. If the clerk
had been a republican instead of a demo-
crat the Westporter would have shrieked
its delight.
The proposition to improve Imperial
avenue by town appr0priation is one of
the best lately made. Whoever has walk-
ed or ridden over that avenue must. have
been struck with the beauty of the scenery
there presented. It is certain that seekers
for desrrable places to locate and build
would make a selection there if the means
of getting over this road were what they
ought to be.
After a storm of unprecedented severity
and duration the sun came out as bright
and cheerful as ever, as it has always
done hitherto and probably will in the fu-
ture. Those who found fault because of
the dreary conditions which much rain,
east wind and general dampness engender-
ed were sorry afterwards that they had
not exercised more patience. Seriously
speaking we have not had quite such a
visitation since the equinox in September,
1884, at which time it was feared the or-
der of good things from a mundane stand-
point were not only upset but could not
be restored. But it was, and here we are
yet, and have lived through another
equally as disagreeable.
“PAUL.”
A .3ch of Paper Saves Her Life.
It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap-
ping paper, but it saved her life. She was
in the last stages of consumption, told by
physicians that she was incurable and
could live only a short time ; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On a piece of
wrapping paper she read of Dr. King’s
New Discovery, and got a sample bottle;
it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it
helped her more, bought another and grew
better faster, continued its use and is now
strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing
140 pounds. For fuller particulars send
stamp to W. H. Cole, Druggist, Fort
Smith. Trial bottles of this wonderful
discovery free at H. R. Hale’s drug store.
SO UTII-IVOR WALK
It was very pleasant to see Rev. Home,
Dunning again iii the pulpit which he so
long occupied as pastor, and listen to his
well written sermons.
Public interest seems to be greatly cen-
tered this week on the fair of the G. A. R.
and Company D, instead of ball games.
May they have a grand success, as they
merit it. '
The safety and return of the Rev. Mr.
I’egg, Mark Dann and others, composing
the sailing party from East Norwalk, has
relieved the intense anxiety of their many
friends in that place and in this city.
A meeting of the U. G. T. R. associa-
tion was held in the G. A. R. building, on
Sunday, and conducted by Mrs. Ellen-
dorf, one of the vice presidents. The at-
tendance was very large, many strange
faces being in the audience, proving that
the people are being interested greatly in
this work. Many interesting and elo-
quent addresses were made by members
and others. The young men are becom-
ing deeply interested iii the work, and are
aiding it by inducing their companions to
sign the temperance pledge.
BEDDING.
The storm of last week was very severe.
Mr. W. E. Duncomb has painted his
barn.
The Diamond Hill and Lonetown
schools were commenced last week Mon-
ay.
Mr. and Mrs. Mandeville are very great-
ly afflicted, and are receiving the deep
sympathy of the whole community.
Their oldest child, a daughter of eleven
years died of scarlet fever last week Mon-
day. Their youngest, a son, died of the
same disease about seven weeks previous.
The funeral at which Rev. Mr. Taylor
pfliciated was held on Tuesday, and the
interment was beside the remains of the
little brother in the Redding Ridge ceme-
tery. ,
