Charles Henry Wilkie, only son of

Wilkie, died Wednesday evening,
Sept. 24, at 9 o'clock after an illness
of about fivemonths with tuberculo
sis. A year ago in Ocotber he had
influenza and had not fully recovered
his strength when in February he
was stricken with pneumonia and
seemed to be gaining when in May he
took more cold and was threatened
with pneumonia again and quickly
developed tubercular trouble. Two
weeks ago Saturday, he with his
family, came here from Barre to the
home of his parents, that they might
help his wife in caring for him, as she
had so tenderly cared for him all
summer. All that loving hands and
hearts could do was done for him.
He was born in Windsor Mills, P.
Q., July 15, 1882 and when he was a
few months old his parents moved
back here and he was educated at I
Barton academy, Then he took up
the upholsterer's trade with the C. F.
Percival company here and finished
his trade in Portland, Me. On Oct. 5,
1903, he was married to Miss Isabelle
Lemere of Derby. After their mar
riage they lived in Lyndonville for a
year or more, where Mr. Wilkie
worked in the car shops at-his trade,
then he went to Barre, where he
worked for A. W. Badger for 14
years as undertaker and upholsterer.
Last February he went into busi
ness for himself and was doing well
when his health failed in May. He
fought the disease to the last, never
seemed discouraged, but cheerful and
patient, and never once complained.
Mr. Wilkie had many constant
friends, wherever he went. He was
a man of sterling worth and charac
ter, hardworking, and devoted to his
home and family.
Besides his wife he leaves three
children, Earl, aged 13, Ruth, aged
five and Lewis aged three years; his
father and mother, two sisters, Mrs.
Eugene Morin and Mrs. Patrick
Guertm, all residing m Barton,, also
a host of relatives and friends both
here and in Barre.
He was a member of the Knights
of Columbus order in Barre, and
many attended the funeral, which
was held in St. Paul's church Satur
day. Rev. Fr. Hagan was celebrant
of the Requiem High Mass.
A. Campbell, H. Campbell, Mr.
Barrows, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Owen and
Mr. Ferrand, all of Barre, acted as
pall bearers.
The flowers were many and beauti
ful. The interment was in St. Paul's
cemetery.
Those present from out of town
were: Messrs. Brown, Kelley, Nel
son, Linegan, O'Leary; A. W. Badrer,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barrows, Mr.
and Mrs. Herman Campbell, Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Campbell, and Mrs.

kind in rendering aid and comfort
during the sickness and death of our

to an encore she gave the following
little original rhyme. This explain
ed the mystery, "What Has Become
of the Men's Backbone."
You may search the wide world over
To find a perfect man,
But you'll meet with disappointment,
For you surely never can,
And when the good Lord, Adam made
He looked on him in wonder,
And said, "There's chance for great
improvement,
I surely made some blunder.
And so they tell the story,
And say it is no fib,
That at once he made a woman
From a part of Adam's rib.
But this little story -
The ladies all disown.
They say it was never a part of hi
rib,
But it took his whole backbone.
But the ladies all agree if the
men are lacking in backbone they
still have plenty of "cheek" but they
are heartily forgiven they were so
"anxious" to help. Mrs. H. H. Han
