years ago and for a time lived in 
New Hampshire. He moved _ to 
Beverly Farms about ten years ago, 
and for the last five years he had 
conducted a blacksmith shop on 
Vine street. 
‘He was of a very kindly disposi- 
tion and was always happiest when 
he was doing a favor for someone. 
This characteristic made many 
friends for him. His friends num- 
ber everybody at Beverly Farms 
who had ever met him. His jovial 
disposition was always a_ pleasant 
feature of a visit to his place of 
business. 
Ilis death is mourned by a host of 
friends. He is survived by a wife, 
two daughters and two sons, all 
erown up. Funeral services were 
held Tuesday afternoon from _ his 
late home on Vine street, the ser- 
vices being conducted by the pas- 
tor of the Swedish church of Law- 
rence. A male quartet from Bey- 
erly sang several beautiful selec- 
tions. The floral tributes were 
many, including large pieces from 
the Farms business men and from 
John West colony, Pilgrim Fathers,

of this order. Interment was in
