Return to Manchester 
After Thirty Years. 
After an absence of thirty years 
Thomas R. Kinmonth, whom many of 
the older residents remember, made a 
flying visit to Manchester the latter 
part of last week, renewing acquain- 
tances and seeing the friends of his 
boyhood days. He was a guest at 
the Manchester house. 
Mr. Kinwonth left Manchester in 
‘76, and since then he has been en- 
gaged successfully in mining, rail- 
roading and contracting, and finally 
settled at Joplin, Mis., then one of 
the growing towns of the frontier, and 
has amassed a fortune. He has exten- 
sive interests in oil wells in Alaska. 
Several weeks ago he came to the 
Elks’ convention in Buffalo and last 
week he decided to visit his old home 
in Manchester. Though not a native 
of the town, he moved here when a 
boy and was brought up here. His 
family lived first on Pleasant street 
and later in a house on the site of 
Rabardy’s block in Centra] square. 
“JT am very much surprised in Man- 
chester,’ he said to the BREEZE man, 
“itis a regular little paradise to what 
it was 30 years ago. A millionaire 
was a rarity in those days ; now you 
cannot go out but you meet them. 
The place has changed considerable, 
though some of the old landmarks are 
just the same as they were then. 
‘“‘T have been all over the country, 
in the South, in California and on the 
Pacific coast, and I have never seen a 
place that will compare with Man- 
chester. 
‘‘] live in a country where there are 
53 crops in a year; great chances for 
amanto make money. The town I 
live in has doubled in population in 
the last 15 years. The West is all 
hustle.” 
THE BREEZE—one year, one dollar. 
Widow Receives $1000. 
The many policy-holders of the 
New York Life Insurance company 
in Manchester and vicinity will be 
interested to read the following self- 
explanatory letter. 
It shows the matchless liberality 
of this company in its treatment of 
those, who through it, make provis- 
ion for dependent families in case 
of death. And it further gives fresh 
illustration of the positive necessity 
that appeals to every man who has 
not already done so, to insure for a 
goodly amount. Mr. C. H. Flem- 
ing, formerly of Manchester, is gen- 
eral agent for the company, with of- 
fices at 106 Washington St., Salem. 
‘Manchester, -Mass., July 22, 1905. 
“Mr. C. H. Fleming, 
Gen'l Agt. New York Life Ins. 
CO: 
“Dear Sir: I am very thankful to 
receive from you your company’s 
check for $1000, insurance on the 
life of my late husband, Thomas 
Browne. 
“This comes as a complete sur- 
prise to me as the policy was taken 
out in July, 1892, and my husband 
had kept up his payments only un- 
til October, 1895, a little over three 
years. Nothing has been paid to 
the company for nearly ten years 
since that time and yet I have re- 
ceived today the full amount of the 
policy, the same as if payments had 
been made right up to date. 
“Tl appreciate very much also the 
fact that your company sent the 
check right along to be handed to 
me as soon as the proofs of death 
could be legally completed. 
“T expected and was told that I 
would not receive anything, and [ 
wish to again speak gratitude to the 
New York Life Insurance company 
for the liberal arrangement in the 
policy, added, in fact, after he had 
taken the insurance, which now 
works so much to the benefit of his 
family in the day of need. 
“Respectfully yours, 
Catherine Browne.”
