July 8--The last reveille sounded yesterday morning for Seth J. Winslow, broad-shouldered, white-haired comrade of the G. A. R.,and the flag which he fought to preserve waves a half- mast in Woodstock, Vt. Winslow, who was 99 last February, was Vermont's oldest Civil war veteran and the last member of George C. Randall post, Grand Army of the Republic. He will be buried with military honors at Riverside cemetery Monday afternoon, members of Ora E. Paul post, American Legion, acting as escort and conducting the rites.The funeral service will be held at his Grove street home at 2 o'clock, Rev. Mark T. Carpenter,rector of the St. James Episcopal church, officiating. Members of George C. Randall Woman's Relief corps will attend in a body. Winslow was born in Woodstock, Vt. February 15, 1835, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Winslow, and lived here most of his life.He attended school in South Woodstock, Vt. In 1865 he married Rowena French, daughter of Charles and Sally French of West Woodstock, Vt. Three sons were born to them, all of whom are living, Frank of Montpelier, Vt., Austin of Concord, N.H., and George of Woodstock, Vt., with whom the deceased had lived for about 35 years. He was a blacksmith by trade, retiring 15 years ago. Winslow enlisted twice, the first time in Woodstock in 1861 with the First Vermont regiment, Company B. He re-enlisted in 1863 in the 12th Vermont ,Company B. He saw the greater part of his service under command of Gen.McClellan. One of his cherished memories of the war was President Lincoln's remark to him as he reviewed the troops at Gettysburg. His commander-in-chief stopped before him and said: "Well, you and I are about the same height." For years, taking part in the observance of Memorial Day had been his one public activity. His last public appearance was at Memorial Day exercises a year ago last May, when he rode in the parade with Comrades Sawyer of Woodstock and Young of Rutland, Vt. and talked with Gov. Stanley C. Wilson, the speaker of the day. His flower garden at the rear of the house, which had been his especial pride and joy for years, was today a riot of color and in his room were flowers picked from plants he had set out himself. Above the bier was the picture of his commander-in-chief,Abraham Lincoln, flanked by small American flags. Near it was a photo of the late Calvin Coolidge, his father, the late John Coolidge, and Mr. Winslow, taken at Plymouth, Vt. when Coolidge was vice president. Beside it was a bouquet of flowers from Mrs. Carrie Richmond Eastman of Woodstock, past national junior vice president, Woman's Relief cops, and another from the past presidents of George C. Randall Woman's Relief corps. As friends called at the Winslow home today, "Fluffy," the 14 -year-old white maltese-spaniel, constant companion of the veteran, kept vigil on the threshold of his master's room.

Clinton Hall, Fireman, Victim of Unusual Accident At Local Gas Plant ; Removes Embers From Fire and Becomes Trapped in Vapor- Filled Pit. Severely burned about the face, arms,neck legs and thighs, Clinton Hall, 27, of East street was in serious condition at Rutland hospital last night as the Vermont Hydro-Electric corporation's Cleveland avenue plant yesterday morning. The accident occurred while Hall was cleaning out one of the fires boxes under the retort. It is believed that through mistake he pulled the entire mass of coals into the pit at one time instead of a small amount at a time. The red hot coals struck some water in the bottom of the pit and in a second the place was filled with live steam. Blinded by the pain, it is believed that Hall plunged into the mass of coals. He was hauled to safety by fellow employes and was then taken to the office of Dr. James M.Hamilton, where he received first aid treatment. He was moved by ambulance to Rutland hospital. Dr. Hamilton stated last night that Hall, had sustained first and second degree burns on arms, legs, thighs, neck and face. Though his condition is serious, Dr. Hamilton believes that he has fair chance to recover. Hall has been working for the gas company only a short time. Recently one of the fingers of his right hand was cut off, while working on a truck. Officials of the company are investigating the accident.
