Mr. Rollins, whose death was mention ed in these columns last week, was a lifelong resident of Newbury, and the last of the ten children of fidwin and Nancy (Meserve) Rollins. He was born, as were all his father's children and his own. on a farm now owned by Victor Roberts, in what used to be called the Avery district. July 7, 1832, His education was limited to a few terms of district school, he worked out for several persons, and later, with his brother Samuel, in a saw mill at Bol-tonville for some years.

After his marriage to Harriet Waddell in 1857, they settled on the homestead, purchasing some years later the Robinson place" next south of him, on which he built a new house in 1884, selling both farms some yeai sago, removing to the He was a veteran of the Civil War, by reason of service in Co. 12th Vt. 1863-64, and a member of Col.

Rollins was also engaged several winters in lumbering, and held town offices, being lister, selectman and road commissioner, discharging his duties faithfully. He was esteemed a man of good business judgment, prudent and conservative, and a good manager of men. He was ably assisted by his excellent wife, and much of his prosperity was due to her good management. To them were born seven children, whom they lived to see settled in life. There have been twelve grandchildren, ten of whom are living.

They celebrated their golden wedding in 1907. After their removal to the village Mr. Rollins made a profession of religion, and united with the Congregational church of which his wife had been a member for some years. Since her death he has received the affectionate care of his children. The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble, having been in poor health for some time.

He died June 9th, and his funeral at the church was largely attended, all his children but one being present, and many of the veterans in this vicinity. Mr. Rollins was a man of sterling qualities, neighborly and kind hearted, loving the society of his friends, and solicitous for the welfare of his children and grandchildren.
