The Bridport Sun
Thursday, 23 January 1902


         at South Starksboro
         
         JOEL ORVIS died Saturday p.m., Jan 18,
       at his home, of old age. Had he lived
       until Feb. 22 he would have been 89 years
       old. MR. ORVIS was a very bright, cheerful,
       sympathetic man. A man appociated (sic) by
       his townsmen. He represented this town at
       the legislature one term, and was a man of
       unusual good health, having never called a
       physician for himself but once in his long
       life time and that was when his shoulder
       was dislocated. In his last illness a phy-
       sician was called to see him but MR. ORVIS,
       being deaf and blind, was not aware of the
       doctor's call. His funeral was held at the
       Friends' church, Monday, Jan. 20th, at 2
       p.m., Rev. E. J. Meader officiating.
