Johnsbury East have long considered George Goodall an invalid, his death at Orlando, on Feb. 6, was unexpected and came as a shock. For over 20 years he had been a great sufferer from rheuma tism and spent his winters in Florida, with the exception of a few years at Hot Springs, Arkansas, coming to his old home at St. Johnsbury East to spend a few months every summer among the friends of his youth. George E.

Goodall was the son of David and Mary McGregor Goodall and was born in St. Johnsbury East January 13, 1842. When nineteen years old he enlisted in Company 15th Vermont regiment, under Col. W. W.

Grout, and served for nine months, duriner the latter part of that time as regimental postmaster. August 25, 1864, he mar ried Henrietta Carleton of East St. Johnsbury who survives him. Of their three children none are living but there is at Portland, a little granddaugh ter, oiary uoouau wescott. air.

Johnsbury East this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. E. E. Grant will officiate.

Patrick Fitzgerald. Patrick Fitzgerald, one of our oldest citizens, died at, his home, 28 Clark's avenue, Tuesday morning, February 10. He had been confined to the house for the past two years, the result of a stroke of paralysis. The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia. He had been suffering from a cold but nothing serious was apprehended until Sunday when the change occured, which announced the coming of the grim visitor, death.

Mr. Fitzgerald was uorn in Uounty Kurn, March 10, 182(1, and came to this country in 1849. A year or two after he came to St. Johnsbury and entered the employ of the Fairbanks Scale where he labored faithfully for for ty-nve years, retiring about nine years ago. Since tins time lie lias been de voted entirely to ins Home from which he was scarcely ever absent, a fact which makes his loss to the bereaved family much harder to bear.

Miss Caroline Woodruff and B. Frank Harris gave their rendering of Enoch Arden at Lyndonville last Thursday night at the gentlemen's night of the Lyndon Woman's Club. They repeat it before the Woman's Club of Hanover, N. Saturday night, and again at Woodsville soon. Joseph Aubin, who recently had a cataract removed from his left eye by Dr.

J. E. Hartshorn, assisted by Dr. C. A Cramton, was able to return to his home in Lyndonville last Thursday, delighted beyond measure that he could again see with both eyes.
