    3. Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State June 15-1861 Married. At East Bethany, on Thursday morning, June 13th, by Rev. Mr. SHRIGLEY, Mr. B.C. PAGE, Jr., of Batavia, to Miss Annie L. JUDD, of Bethany. *** Died. Died, at his residence in Le Roy, on Monday, the 10th inst., Capt. John LENT, aged 78 years. The subject of this notice was born at Easton Washington county, May 8th, 1783, and removed into the town of Le Roy, in this county, in 1814--taking up his residence upon the spot which he continued to occupy for nearly half a century, and until his decease. The life of Capt. LENT was distinguished by a strict adherence to justice in his dealings, and that integrity which secured to all with whom he maintained business relations, their honest dues, or "weight and measure," as he expressed it. In his intercourse with his friends, and associates, he was singularly kind, amiable, and obliging, and his memory will be treasured the longest by those whose fortune it was to know him most intimately. His death is truly a public loss. Although full of years, his many deeds of kindness and charity, and the honesty of purpose which characterized all his acts, will awake a truly mournful expression throughout the entire community. - 'Le Roy Gazette.' *** submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************
