Former Beverly Farms Family Lost 
all by Fire. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Frazier and baby 
of Franklin, N. H., certainly did not 
have a very pleasant Christmas, but they 
have reason to be thankful that they are 
alive, however, after coming extremely 
near unto death. “They have lived for 
the past few years on a farm on the out- 
skirts of Franklin. Last Thursday, Dec. 
24, by the rarest of good fortune they 
were awakened early in the morning just 
in time to make their escape from their 
house, which was in flames. They did 
not have time even to dress themselves, 
but had to get out of the house as best 
they could in their night clothes. ‘The 
ground was covered with snow and the 
COBB, BATES & YERXA COMPANY, 
night was bitter cold,—6 below zero. 
Mrs. Frazier took the baby in her arms 
and was obliged to walk to the nearest 
neighbor, about a mile and a half distant. 
Her strength lasted until she arrived, but 
her condition was most critical. Her 
feet were frozen and she was almost dead 
with cold. She has since been confined 
to her bed. The house was burned to 
the ground with all its contents. They 
lost everything. The neighbors §have 
very kindly come to their relief by rais- 
ing a fund of $200. 
It will be remembered that Mr. and 
Mrs. Frazier formerly lived at the Farrns 
and atthe time of their marriage they 
were employees of the John Caswell 
estate. They lived in the George F. 
Wood house, on Hart street, for some 
time. Mr. and Mrs. Wood, hearing of 
their present plight, have invited them to 
come to Beverly Farms for a visit. 
Relief Corps Royally Entertains Post 
and Associates. 
Last Monday evening in Marshall’s 
hall, Beverly Farms, Preston Relief 
Corps, No. 93, royally entertained the 
Post, Associates, their wifes and lady 
friends, the whole making up quite a 
large gathering. Besides the entertain- 
ment and a social hour there was at the 
head of the hall a prettily decorated 
Christmas tree from which each one re- 
ceived a remembrance. 
Mrs. Wadsworth, the Mass. Dept. 
president, was present, a guest of the 
corps, and she made some interesting 
remarks along the line of the good work 
that is being done by the W. R. C. for 
the soldiers, its teaching of patriotism, 
and help given all worthy causes. At 
the conclusion of her remarks she was 
presented with a handsome bouquet. 
Remarks were also made by Mrs. 
Daniel W. Preston, the president of the 
corps; Charles H. Day, commander of 
the post; Mayor-elect Trowt; James B. 
Essex and St. Peter Sts.,

A feature of the evening came in the 
nature of a surprise during the distribu- 
tion of the articles from the Christmas 
tree. Mrs. Preston, the president, 
stepping into the center of the hall, 
called from their seats the old soldiers, 
who, as they came forward, were filled 
with doubt as to what was going to take 
place next. Then Mrs. George F. 
Wood, a past president, came into their 
midst bearing a beautiful American flag 
upon a staff, suitably inscribed in gold 
letters, and in well chosen remarks she 
presented the flag, in behalf of Preston 
W.R.C. to the Post. 
Commander Day, after a few mo- 
ments, recovered sufficientiy to reply, 
and he thanked the donors most heartily 
for their gift. 
It is, perhaps, needless to say, that the 
gift touched the veterans’ hearts, for 
while this sort of a present, is always 
very acceptable, this wasyindeed extreme- 
ly so, from the fact that the Post’s old 
banner had become somewhat worn and 
they were in need of a new one. 
The occasion was one which will long 
be remembered by all present.
