The same year his father settled in
Coventry and successfully followed
hi3 trade of blacksmith and owned
and conducted a large farm until the
time of his death in 1876. He was a
war democrat and as a selectman did
Yeoman service in securing soldiers
during the civil war. Homer Thrash
er, the fourth of a family of five sons
and two daughters, was reared upon
his father's farm, and attended the
public and high schools of Coventry
also the . old stone academy at Brown
ington, and taught several terms of
winter school.
At 20 years of age he went to
Fitchburg, Mass., and for four years
was employed in a scythe factory.
, Later he "clerked in stores both at
Fitchburg, Mass., and Coventry. In
the year 1865 he engaged in the
starch business with Samuel Bur

with him and on Aug. 15, 1919, fol
lowing the death of Mrs. Thrasher,
and owing to his failing health,he sold
his, interest to his partner and he re
tired from active business. The store
during the time was recognized as the
leading dealers in gents' clothing and
furnishings in Orleans cojunty.
Mr.' Thrasher was a sagacious and
successful business man, of unusual
executive ability and absolute integ
rity. His townsmen had recognized
these qualities by , electing him to
many positions of trust. He was sev
eral years a lister, school trustee for
five years, also village trustee and
for 13 years in succession was chair
man of the board of selectmen. He
served as treasurer of the cemetery

cles, having been a member for 55
years. He was a member of all Ma
sonic bodies of the city, a 32 degree
mason and a member of Mr. Sinai
Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
During his years of Masonic life he
served as secretary of Memphrema
gog lodge, Cleveland chapter and re
corder of Malta commandery. He
was an active member of the Congre
gational church and liberal supporter
for years, and was one of the busi
ness committee when the present
church edifice was built. Mr. Thrash
er married Josephine Bowles of Cov
entry Dec. 3, 1868, two children being
born. Florence, who died in infancy,
and Edward C, born June 11, 1874,

Since the death of Mrs. Thrasher,
which occurred July 3, 1919, Mr.
Thrasher has continued to resde in
Newport, having spent one winter
with his son in Detroit, but no place
was home to him but Newport ; he
loved it in all its beauty and sur
roundings, and the people with whom
he had associated for more than 40
years were dear to him. About one
year ago he was confined in the Cleas
by hospital three weeks with pneu
