Gales Ferry’'s School Master Had an Eventful Career. Thomas Latham, whose death at Gales Ferry Last Week brought sad- ness to & wide circle of friends gained in his long years as schoolmaster, had many interesting experiences in . the course of his life. His was an event- ful career and educated himself, both of books and of life, he was a fine typs of the New England teacher whose in- struction was more than the impart- ing of facts, but the enrichment and the broadening of the lives of his pu- pile. Mr. Latham was born _at Gales Ferry on March 28, 1840, the son of Thomas M. and Sarah E. Latham. His mother, a_ daughter of Thomas Mulkey, died when he was two years of age and he was cared for by his mother’s parents until about eight vears old. In his youth he accompained hisqgifted as a poem writer and was called father on fishing and trading vessels during the summer seasons, the win- ters being spent in school. During one of the vovages, when he was about 15 vears old, the vessel, of which his father was captain, was run down by a coasting schooner, the crew of Cap- tain Latham's vessel only escaping with thelr lives. After a year spent at Pinkerton academy, in Derby, N. H. where a course of writing lessons laid the foundation for the fine penmanship for | which he was noied. he began his career as a teacher; first, with a private class at his home, and then in 1838, in the Geer district school in Ledyard. On July 4 1865, Mr. Latham was married to. Sarah Elizabeth Allyn, daughter of Capt. Gurdon Leroy Allyn, at the home of her brother in Salem, Conn. Of this marriage four children were born, all of whom are now liv- ing, Bradford Allyn, the eldest resid- ing’ in Guilford; Clarence Arthur, at Essex; the daughter, Mrs. Charles A. 1. Morgan at Middletown and Charles Everett, at Hartford. After his marriage Mr. Latham con- tinued. spending his summers in the C ceutioal T T T T334 e 155 CexerAUR COMPAXT, NEW YORK. . old 8 > DosE S CENTS 35 Dos Exact Copy of Wrapper.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. Willlam Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands first In its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I mever have found anything that so filled the place.” = . Dr. J. E. Taft, of Brookiyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found It an excellent remedy in my household and private practics for many years. The formuis is excellent.” % Dr. R. J. Hamilen, of Detroit, "Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the fleld, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's.” / ¥ Dr, Wm.J MoCrann, of Omaba, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteen ® children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas- toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas- toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse- ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo says: “Physicians generally 4o not preseribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi- ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex- ception. 1 preseribe your Castoris in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints.
