The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Peru 7/5/1889 The many friends of Mrs. Mark BATCHELDER will be pained to learn of her death, which took place at her home in Manchester Centre, last Saturday morning. Funeral services were held in this place, Monday; remains deposited beside her husband. Mrs. Charles BATCHELDER, who has spent the winter and spring with her son, in South Carolina, returned home last week, her son's wife coming with her. Last week, Friday, while John COOLEDGE was mending fence around his pasture, he was visited by a pair of very fine deer, the sight of which he enjoyed very much. As long as he was quiet, the deer showed no rear; when he began to move they took their departure suddenly. Elmer ADAMS, while playing in an apple tree, fell to the ground, some 20 feet, striking on his head and shoulders; but, fortunately, no serious injuries resulted. The breaking o a limb caused the accident. School in district No. 5 closed last Friday. Those having no absent marks--George BATCHELDER, Mary Mary PRIEST, Otto COOLEDGE, Charlie CONANT, Mary CONANT, Willie CONANT; no tardy-marks--George BATCHELDER, Otto COOLEDGE, Mary PRIEST, Forest PRIEST; average attendance, 7.
