Pillsbury, formerly a dweller in this town, but of late a resident of Hanover, N. were brought to this village for interment on Friday morning, June 20. Appropriate exercises were held at the grave at 10:30 and burial was in the family lot. Mr. PHlsbury was born in 1832, and was 87 years and 25 days of age at the time of his death.

He "was twice married, his first wife being Emiline Jones, daughter from a family well known in this vicinity in those days. Four children were born to the union, three sons and a daughter. The first son dk'd when a little more than nine months of age; the next, a daughter, passed away at three months and 12 days. Two sons survive, Charles and Elsworth, who, with their families, are highly esteemed citizens of Lebanon, N. H.

He was the oldest resident citizen of Hanover, N. and for five years had carried the ea'ie which the citizens of Hanover conferred upon the Eldest man in town. At the decease of each it passes to the next in age. As the winter was. about to set in and health was rapidly failing from infirmity and the weight of years, the subject of our writing was received into the home of his son, Charles, where he received every necessary attention until the end came.

Mr. Pillsbury was among those who went forth at the country's call in the fiO's to defend the flag. From the inscription in the family lot we learn that he belonged to Co. 40th N. volunteers.

Though not a member of Ransom post of this vicinity, he often came up from his New Hampshire home to meet with the veterans and participate with them in their special occasions. He enjoyed much the veteran fraternity, and loved the old town where he had spent the' greater part of his long life. Peace to the memory of this, another of the generation of fathers now passed away. "Your fathers, where are they, and the prophets, do they live forever!" J. C.
