         CHARLES R. WITHERELL, a well known 
       and highly respected citizen, died 
       last Thursday morning after a brief
       illness. MR. WITHERELL was born in 
       Shoreham Oct. 11, 1848, the son of
       ROYAL and LUCY DOOLITTLE WITHERELL.
       September 19, 1876, he married ELIZA-
       BETH, eldest daughter of the late Col.
       EDWIN S. STOWELL of Cornwall and lived
       at "Stonehenge," which for many years
       he owned and occupied. In 1910 he
       moved to Shoreham to the WITHERELL
       homestead, which he has since occu-

       America, South Africa and Australia.
       In 1892 he represented the town of
       Cornwall in the legislature and in
       1923 represented Shoreham. In 1925
       he was appointed by GOV. BILLINGS
       to fill the unexpired term of re-

       W. of Shoreham, besides several
       grandchildren.
         The funeral was held at the Con-
       gregational church Saturday morning
       at 10:30 o'clock and was largely
       attended. Rev. C. B. BLISS officiated,
       assisted by Rev. JOHN IRONS of Corn-
       wall. Union lodge, No. 2, F. and A.
