J. Bagley of this place, William Bagley was a man of sterling character, a Christian gentleman, whose daily life was full of kind deeds and helpful acts. He always took a great interest in the young people, church work and the progress of his home town. The? hardship and suffering of prison life sapped vitality and many years of his life has been passed in feeble a health. During these days he was always cheerful and took a kindly interest in the welfare of all with whom he came in contact.

The influence of such lives go on long after the mortal man has passed away. He will be mourned and missed by. friends and relatives in his old home town and a wide circle of friends where he has since made his home. Mrs. Lizzie In the death of Mrs.

Lizzie King on May 18th at Randolph, Vermont, at the age of 76 years 7 months and 22 days, another of the old residents of Brighton has passed away. MrsT' King came to make her home in Island forty-six years ago on January 3, 1872, when she married Mark S. King, and took upon herself the care of his two motherless children. Her one purpose when she came to this home was to be to them a true mother as far as possible, and she gave them the love and care that only a mother can give; and later when three children of her own came, that same true motherliness and love was given to them all without distinction. Through the hard years that fol lowed the death of Mr.

King, in 1886, when she was left alone to provide for the family she was sustained by an unfaltering trust and quiet confidence in the protection and guidance of an all wise Providence. Hers was a life of self sacri fice for others, and especially was this true in the home, where she was ever thoughtful tor the welfare of her children. A true Christian her self, she sought to teach her children early in life the great principles of Christianity. Hers was a life of service not only to her loved ones in the home, but to her neighbors and friends or those who were in trouble. The kindly deed, the word of cheer, and the lift here and there were given unsparingly, as many sad hearts could testify.

Yet many times no one but the recipient knew of the act of kindness it was done so nuietlv and unobtrusively. A moth' er gone! How she will be missed by those left behind, they alone can tell; but she is not dead. Her life goes on and it's influence will live with us through the years to come, encouraging that spirit of trust, of love and service that she showed, and making our lives better because she lived and taught us.
