Thompson. rs. Stillman seated in a chair made by her er posed for her photo- th four generations repre- sen| in the group of which she was centre. were Dbesldes the old lady, Mr. and Mrs. George L. Stillman, Mr, and Mrs. Allan L. Thompson and their two children, Ruth Harriet and uwx- Pendleton Thompson, Mrs. being the daughter of Mr. Mrs. George L. Stillman. The Stiliman homestead was built in 1748 and is in excellent condition, aithough it is the oldest house in the town of Westerly. The house was buflt by Elisha Stillman and has al- remained in the possession of the Sunman family. George L. Still- man, the present owner of the prop- erty, ang his five brothers and a sis- ter, were born there as was also their father, Joshua F. Stillman and many others of the name. Mrs, Maria Stillman has for the past six years resided with her son, George, in the village of Westerly and desired to spend her birthday at the oid home- stead. She exprsssad herself as much pleased with the day’s outing and in- stanced the fact that the visit recalled many pleasant memories of the long ago, as well as some of the sad inci- dents of her life. She said that while it was llke “coming home” to her she preferred to spenq the rest of her days in the home of her son, where she received the best of care and atten- tion. The shoot-the-chute entrance to the new pofice station, located in the base- ment of the state section of the new town hall and courthouse, is being lowered several degrees not especially for the safety of policemen and pris- omers, but rather to better conform 10 the mew grade of Union- street. ‘Whiie the proposed new police station | is fully equipped, the police headquar- ters still remain in the basement of the old town hall buiiding. It s said that delay in transfer is dne to failure on the part of repre- sentatives of the town to show rep- resentatives of the state just why the police station was not located in the section of the building owned by the | Wn. and where there is ample room. Jt.is believed that when matters are adjusted the new police station will re- where it is now located and that the town will pay rental to the state for the pelice station. The furniture for the new police station was former- ly.in nse in the office of the town elerk and water commissioners, As proventative of the brown tail meth rash to human beings and the destroction of trees by the pests, and also to prevemt the moths from get- timg beyond the infested districts, two representatives of the federal govern- ment, with headquarters at Boston, stationed at Westerly for two The men work at night and the pests as they fiitter about the n rafiread trains, by a solu- saturated stick.
