Mr. and Mrs. Waterman and Mrs.

John Keating.
John Keating, an almost life-long
resident of this town, died at the
home of his son, John, at West Leb
anon, N. H., Saturday morning, Nov.
23, after an illness of eight weeks.
All that loving hands and kind
hearts could do was done for him in
his declining years. The body was
brought to .barton, Nov. 26, where a
requiem High Mass was held at St.
Paul's church.
Mr. Keating was born in County
Kerry, Ireland, June 24, 1832. He
came to this country in" early child
hood and soon bought the farm upon
which he had lived for so many years.
He is survived by five daughters,
three sons and eight grandchildren,
who each bear the full measure of
sorrow at the loss of a kind-hearted,
loving father and grandfather. The
daughters are Mrs. J. B. Cassidy of
Chicago, Mrs. F. J. Pierce of South
Norwalk, Conn., Mrs. C. C W. Heath
of Barton, Miss Nellie Keating of
West Lebanon, N. H., and Mrs. Pow
ers of Fitzdale, Vt. The sons are John
Keating of West Lebanon, N. H., R.
P. Keating of Hartford, Conn., and
W. H. Keating of Barton, who owns
the old farm homestead.
Mr. Keating was a man of rare ca
pacity, of strict integrity, of lofty
purposes and high ideals. Such qual
ities could not but gain for him the
respect and admiration of all who
knew him and the confidence of his
fellow citizens.
But better than all, he was an
earnest Christian, who loved his
church and followed her teaching
with the simplicity of a child.
He was a veteran of the Civil war,
ever faithful to the land of his adop
tion, he retained a filial love for the
land of his birth and for the race to
which he belonged.
Reverently, yet with poignant grief
he was laid at rest in the Catholic
cemetery at East Albany by the side
of his wife, who died many years ago.
The floral tributes were most
beautifuL especially the wreath eiv
en by his old G. A. R. comrades,
whom he esteemed so highly.
Thus ended a good life, ambitious
to the end. His children rise up to
call him blessed.
The sale which the children of the
village school held last week was well
attended and $9.00 was realized for
the Victory boys and girls.
The grange met for a regular meet

Private Bert Morin.
Mrs. Eusebe Morin received a mes
sage from Washington Thanksgiving
night, telling of the death of her son,
Bert Morin, who died of wounds Nov.
1st, in France.
Bert Morin was born in Brockton,
Mass., March 19, 1892, and was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Healey.
Both parents dying when he was a
baby, he was adopted by Mr., and
Mrs. Eusebe Morin at Taunton, Mass.,
when he was four years old, who ten
derly cared for and brought him up
with as much love and devotion as
one of their own children.
The hardest thought in leaving
home for the service, was of parting
with his aged mother. His father
died two years ago last August.
Mr. Morin was employed - at the
Murkland foundry, learning the
moulders' trade at the time he en-
" . . . f . ' (;
: "t C
V
h
tered the service of his country. May
25, 1918, he left here for Camp Dev
ens and went over seas about July 4.
Bert was a jolly, pleasant, good
hearted fellow and has won a large cir
cle of friends since he came here
with his parents about twelve years
ago, when they bought what is known
as the Ora White farm on the Or
leans road. Besides his mother he
leaves two brothers, Fred and Eu
gene, three sisters, Mrs. Carrie Clem
ent, of Manchester, N. H., and Rosan
na and Vina, who reside at home. He
also leaves an own sister, Mrs. Walter ,
Wall of Brockton, Mass., and a broth
er, Mathew Healey in New York.
Bert was a member of the Catholic
church and Memorial Mass will be
held for him Friday at 9 a. m. at St.
Paul's church. The public is invited
to this memorial to a Barton soldier.
Chemicals vs. Mixed Fertilizers.
This is the time of year when
farmers commence to figure on their
fertilizer for the coming year. From
prices which have been received at
the Farm Bureau office, it is estimat
ed that farmers may save anywhere
from $9 to $12 per ton this next
SDriner by using chemicals instead of
mixed fertilizers. All fertilizers and
chemicals are higher in price this
year than they were last year but
there is a wider margin of saving if
anything this year by using chemi
cals. . , - .
A larcre number of Orleans County
farmers have used chemicals for sev
eral years but more farmers ought to
get the "habit." There are several
reasons for using chemicals. '
1. A man who uses chemicals does
not pay the manufacturer for mixing
in worthless filler with the crude
stock and does not pay the railroads
freight on this filler.
2. When a farmer mixes chemicals
he uses no low-grade materials such
as are oftentimes used in the low-
grade fertilizers. This is especially .
true this year in view of the scarcity
of fertilizer crude stock. ;
: 3. To buy chemicals means to buy
on a cash basis and not be financed
by any fertilizer manufacturer at a
high rate of interest. The man who
pays his spring fertilizer bill July
1st or later has paid well for the priv
ilege of waiting that long and inci
dentally helps pay for the bad bills
of some other man who never paid
his fertilizer bill! Altogether it is
a business proposition to buy chemi
cals. The Couuty Agent wil be glad
to assist any one in figuring out how
much chemicals they will need next
spring. -
