Morey | morning | Memorial | He passed | the dead at Brookiyn Friday while participating in the day exercises in that town. almost in the shadow of awey v beautiful monument erected in mem- ory of General lsrael Putnam, dying without a struggle, falling in uniform and beneath the waving folds of the he loved so well and for which he had sacrificed so much. The body was borne by reverent hands to the veran- da at the home of Rev. George F. Gen- ung, D. D, where during the Memorial services that were conducted in the town hall for those departed heroes whose memory Mr. Morey had come to Brookiyn to aid in honoring two griev- ing comrades mounted a solemn guard of honor. Leaving Danielson in the morning, Mr. Morey was In_exceptionally fine spirits and during the ride to Brooklyn chatted pleasantly with Rev. W. D. Swaffield, who was to deliver the Me- morial address, telling him of plans to plant his garden with the coming of the first of the month. It is be- lieved that the rather long march from Brooklyn village to the cemetery return proved too much of an exertion for Mr. Morey, but he made no complaint It was not until after the servi s nd Soldiers’ monument, just south of the General Putnam monument, had been concluded that Mr. Morey weakened The last plaintively restful notes of “taps,” the soldiers’ good-night, had barely died away when Mr. Morey, starting to march with his comrades to the town hall, stepped from the line, sheathed his sword, wavered and sank to the ground. He had been walking beside Rev. Mr. Bwaffield, who imme- diately supported him and in whose arms he died, an honered seldier and a most honorable man. Mr. Morey did not speak from the moment he suf- fered the attuck and he died within the minute. At the time of the sad happening Mre. Morey, who is the president of McGregor W. R. C. was engaged at the town hall In Danielson with mem- bers of the corps in decorating for the exercises to be held here in the after- noon. She was Informed that her husband had been stricken and later told that he was dead. Mr. Morey's death had a depressins effect on nearly all of the veierans and little less so on all' of those who par- ticipated at the exerclses in and Danielson. The body was re- moved to his home on the West Side soon after the noon hour. Mr. Morey was 74 vears of age. He | served In the war as a member of the 49th Massachusetts infantry, being commissioned a second lieutenant. Mr. and Mrs. Morey came here from Brooklyn, N. Y. about five years ago. Besides his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Charles Richardson, of Greenfleld, Mass., and by two sons.

Secured for Putnam—Bill Squsezes Through at 9 O'eleck Thursday Night. Under suspension of ‘the rules, the bill under the terms of which Putnam is to get a state trade school, passed the house in the legislature at nine o'clock Thursday night and now needs only the signature of Governor 8. E. Baldwin, to make it a law. The passage of this measure, which is included as a section of the general education bill, during the last days of the present general assembly, a very busy time, has been due to the un- tiring efforts of Mayor-Representative Archibald Macdonald. By hard work he induceq a suspension of the rules in the senate this week and got the measure through that body and then following up his successtul work did likewise in the house. 1t the governor signs the bill, and there seems to be no doubt that he will, it has been promised that Put- nam'’s trade school will be opened on October 1, 1913. Just where it is to be located is a matter thats has not been decided, of course, but there will be no difficulty in securing a location. Under the terms of the bill as passed no building will be erected, but quar- ters secured for the schooi, furnished with- the necessary equipment at the expense of the state and opened for the boys of Putnam and all of the other towns in this section of the state. Putnam's will be the first trade school in this section of Connecticut and the indications are that it will be fully as successful as those that have been established in other parts of the state. It is hoped to have 25 boys enter as students at the opening of the school, which will have courses in tex- tile and trades training. If the school proves to be the success that it seems certain it will be, there is a,good pros- pect of the next gemeral assembly granting an appropriation for the erection of a building for housing the school. Teachers Reappointed. All teachers in the Tsrael Putnam echool have been reelected for the en- suing year by the members of the town school committee and all at the same salary as they are now receiv- ing excepting Principal Merrill P. Patne, who has been given an increase from 3600 to $700. Teachers In the high school have not been reelecteq as vet, but the mat- ter of hiring the high school teachers and the superintendent of schools will probably be taken up at a mesting of the board scheduled for Monday. Alumni Team Defeated, 7 to 2. Putnam High school's baseball team | defeated the Alumni team, 7 to 8 In the Memorial day game. If the high school team had plaved throughout the season such fine ball ag they show- ed in Friday's game, they wouid prob- ably have been returned as winners in about every contest. William Blackmore of last year's school team pitched against his brother, who is the regular twirler for the team this season and the alumnus had to bend the knee before the younger pitcher. Maher's batting featured the play- ing of the high school team, he get- ting a home run, with two men on | bases, and nearly duplicating the feat | at another stage of the game when he tried to siretch a three base hit into ia circuit wallop.
