The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, January 29, 1886 Plymouth Five Corners 1/29/1886 Our miners are getting scattered, some engaged in one thing, some in another. 22 degrees below 0 last week. Our singing-schools are to end rather abruptly, we learn, some of those who subscribed having left the place but not the cash. We are to have but one more school. Hinman SARGENT of this place died Monday morning, Jan. 11th. His death seemed very sudden, as he had been in comfortable health and engaged about his usual work until four days previous. The greater part of Mr. SARGENT's life had been spent in this town, and the past twenty years on the farm where he died. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. Mr. TILLOTTSON of Woodstock attended the funeral at his late home, after which his remains were borne to Ludlow, near his birthplace, for burial. Mr. RAYMOND is expected home Tuesday, the 26th. Death again entered our neighborhood, Tuesday morning, removing "Uncle Cyrus" JOHNSON, aged seventy-five years. His life has been passed in this, the town where he was born, and the last fifty years of it on the place where he died. Nearly three years ago he was called to bury his youngest child, a quiet, dutiful girl of 18 years. It was a heavy blow when she, the sunlight of his home, passed away after an illness so brief that he was in no wise prepared for its fatal termination. Since that time he has slowly but steadily failed in health, and during the past year, been quite feeble. Mr. JOHNSON was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor, and that which we wish might be said of more, AN HONEST MAN. His wife and two of his six children survive him. His sons were both living with him in the old home. The wife, who has so long shared whatever of joy or sorrow fell to his lot, has our sympathy as the arm on which she leaned is removed and she again called to part with one of her dearly-loved home circle.
