VITAL STATISTICS. 
The Vital statistics of Manchester 
for 1916 are printed on another page. 
There were 28 deaths during the year, 
30 weddings and 45 births, 24 of the 
latter being girls and 21 boys. The 
number included two pair of twins. 
Of the deaths, two were in infancy, 
one at 17 and another at 26, but all 
the others were over forty years of 
age, there being two between 40 and 
50; 4 between 50 and 60; 6 between 
60 and 70; ten between 70 and 8&0; 
and two between 90 and 100, one of 
the latter being 97 and the other 99. 
The records are not complete, due 
to no fault of the Town Clerk, but 
because hospitals where children were 
born do not make returns as they are 
required to do by law. The Beverly 
hospital has been lax in this regard 
the past year, and other hospitals are 
probably as much so, that the number 
will be increased by at least half a 
dozen more births as the returns come 
in.

position as cashier of the North 
$rookfield National Bank. Regret is 
expressed at the leaving of Mr. Irish, 
who has been with the bank four 
years and has made many friends 
during his stay in Manchester. He 
has been very successful in his work 
and has been a helpful member of the 
community. His services as treas- 
urer of the baseball association will 
be greatly missed. .C. Elmer Smith. 
who has been with the bank three 
years, has been promoted to the posi- 
tion of teller. The promotion is well 
deserved and Manchester people are 
pleased to see a ‘local boy making good 
in the Manchester bank.
