           In Windham, May 19th, Mr. Ephraim Legrow, aged 67 years, 6 months.
         In the death of Mr. Legrow a worthy citizen, a faithful husband, an indulgent
         father and a kind neighbor has passed away. In all these relations in life he
         stood preeminent.  In 1854 he represented Windham in the Legislature and for
          several successive years he was a selectman of the town. In him the unfortunate
          found as friend most sympathizing and helpful. Towards others his conduct was
          what he would have others be to. He believed in God our kind and heavenly
          Father and in his Son Jesus Christ as our merciful and divine Savior.  The wife
          of his youth, now well  stricken in years, with whom he has walked more than forty
          years in the greatest cheerfulness and affection, together with a family of eight
          children and a large circle of friends mourn his loss. All these hold his memory in
          grateful affection, and upon them may the mantle of his integrity and benevolence
          of his disposition abide continually.
  

                                                          MISCELLANEOUS
