Horace Austin Fitch, years of age, of 16 Penobscot street, and a life- long resident of Preston and East Nor- wich, died on Tuesday morning at 5.40 ck, following an illness of some tion associated with his advanced years. The birth of Mr. Fitch was in Pres- ton on Feb. 12, 1824, and he was the oldest of the five children of Russell and Julia Phillips Fitch. He went to work for the Norwich and Worcester ailroad in 1845, and for 35 years of his life he was in the employ of the road. He had charge for a long time of a laboring gang that loaded and unloaded cars and was well known to all who had dealings with the railroad. For 15 years he drove a truck for dMyers & Bailey and then went back to the rail- road. In 1398 he entered the employ of the Boston store and ran the ela vator until 1907, when he retired be- cause of his years and gradual loss of health. He had not been as well as usual for a year and two weeks ago had a slight shock. Mr, Fitch was married twice. first marriage was with Ann B. O'Brien of Poquetanuck on Nov. 5, 1846. died in January, 1878. On April 24, 1884, he was united in marriage with Miss Caroline Sydleman by Rev. Dr. Edward Jewett. Mrs. Fitch survives her husband, and there is one brother, James Fitch, of Preston City, and one sister, Mrs. Leonard Bartlett, of Bast Killingly. Mrs. John A. Service and Mrs. B. B. Allyn of this city are grand- daughters. A son, Charles, died five years ago. DMr. Fitch was a man of character. He was faithful to the last detail in his work, and he was devoted to his home and home-life. He belonged to no organizaticns, but he was a staunch democrat. He represented Preston in the legisiature in 1868 and he never fafled his party at the polls. When 9 o'clock came on the morning of the last city election he slipped quietly out of the house and tottered unaided up the street to cast his ballot for his party. His remark when he returned was that when he got too old to vote he wished to die. The incident shows the spirit of the man. He lived an in- conspicuous but a true and steadfast {m life.

Thousands of visitors from all parts of eastern Connecticut flocked to Nor- wich on the Fourth for the big cele- bration which included an automobile parade and patriotic exercises in the morning, a preparedness parade in the afternoon and a fireworks display in the evening. All day long the railroads and trol- ley cars poured visitors into Norwich. The trolleys from every direction brought people from nearer points than those reached by the railroads ana there was a steady stream of au- tomobiles, carriages and people on foot thyt never seemed to stop. Norwich was decked in bunting in honor of the day. Flags and banners were seen everywhere and practically every house had decorations more or less elaborate. The weather man favored Norwich with good weather during the day although it clouded up at night and there was a slight drizzle while the mercury dropped 2 few de- grees below normal. The first number on the program happened at 7 in the morning when the bells on a number of public build- ings about the city rang for fifteen minutes. They rang again at noon nd for the last time at 6 o'clock, both these being fifteen minute periods also. At 9 o'clock came the automobile parade and at 11 the patriotic ad- dresses at Union square. At 2 sharp the preparedness parade took place a the closing number on the pro- gram took place at 9 in the evening when there was a fireworks display on Lanman’s hill.

In e square they were packed four and p. while Main street, lower on street, Union square and ¥ hill were fairly jammed. The Line of March. The parade started at sharp 2 o'clock from Broadway.

The city and town officials, headed by His Honor Mayor Allyn L. Brown, were there in force. Their banner was carried by City Clerk Arthur G. Crowell and Sheriff George W. Rouse, The general committee in charge of the parade followed. Women Made Fine Showing. ‘The patriotic women of Norwich, representing many local organizations and societies, are to be complimented upon their excellent appearance. Their section was one of the most important of the whole parade, for their ranks demonstrated emphatically that the women of Norwich strongly favor pre- parcdness. St. Mary's T. A. and B, society, the Y. 0L C. A, Y. M. H. A, Moose, Owls, Board of Trade, Foresters, professional men and the Elks were out in goodly numbers. Knights of Columbus. White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus, made a very creditable appearance, with 208 members in line and headed by the Westerly Military band and was frequently applauded along.the line of march for their sol- mi dlerly bearing and splendid alignment. They were under the direction of Mar- shal J. Edward Driscoll, who was as- sisted by Thomas H. Beckley, J. A. Desmond, Joseph D. Phieffer and Wm. G. Kasloski as aides. The large American flag was carried by Patrick Foley of Fitchville, a sallor from the U. S. S. Virginia, and a member of White Cross council, who is home on furlough. The color guards were M. J. Kelly and Jeremiah J. Conners and the banner bearers were Joseph Des- mond and Michael Sullivan. At the head of the column, marching with Grand Knight McNamara and the of- ficers of the council were State Ad- vocate J. J. Collins of New London, District Deputies Thomas F. Berth of Willimantic and John F. Hennon of Jewett City. As the parade approach- ed St Patrick’s rectory and church on Broadway, the Westerly band which was leading the Knights played “On ward Christian Soldiers.” The Knights uncovered and Rev. John H. Broderick and a number of visiting clergymen acknowledged the safute while the Pa- rachial school children, massed on the grass in front of the school and dress- ed in white, saluted the marching column by ving their flags. Bankers in Line. Patriotism was not lacking in the Bankers’ section for they carried a 1a: American flag, measuring 25 by 30 feet. The section was not coi fined to the younger men alone for it was noticed that many of the older men were in the *anks holding up their end of Old Glory. Big Taftville Delegation. Taftville came down several hun- dred strong, headed by the Plainfield Military band. Included in the Taft- ville division a score of young la- dies in red, white and blue caps and dressed in white, each one represent- ing Columbia. They carr! an Ameri- can flag, by 30 feet, and their sec- tion proved one of the feature sections of the parade. Tho re well drill- ed and de a most excellent appear- ance.

The selections that Director John N Swahn had picked out for Tubbs' Military band, the introductory re- marks of Mayor Allyn L. Brown, who acted as the presiding officer, and the addresses of Rev. Willlam A. Keefe of Plainfield and Rev. J. Romeyn Dan- forth of New London teemed with preparedness and patriotism. The invocation was by Rev. Joel B Slocum, D. D, and he was followed by the first speaker of the day, whose address was frequently interrupted by applause. Rev. Rather Keefe's speech was as follows: , The history of our country is full of lessons in virtue worthy of the noblest patriot. Columbus and the Pioneers. ‘The very first chapter presents the great _discover,. Columbus, ; whose _re- d bouton: res of e 5 aponnieres oflof American immortals. The com- F Al aa an | mands of npational dufy bind us in markable perseverance, noble chivalry and wonderful courage enabled him to lay the very cornerstone of Amer- ican progress and inspired him to ded- icate all American achtverents to the honor of The Holy Saviour. His suc- cesses are an encouragement to every man who strives for honorable success and his ideals must forever remind us that ours is “a Nation under God,” bound from the first to fidelity to the Prince of Peace. The courage of all the brave pion- eers who led the way of American eiv- ilization from Florida and Chesapeake Pay, across the Mississipp! valley, along the Rio Grande and even to the Golden Gate, are worthy of the imita- tion of any hero, and the charity and self denial of the noble Jesuit and Fransiscan missionaries who sacri- ficed all earthly comforts to sow the first seeds of civilization among the sons and daughters of the primeval American forests can never be too faithfully imitated in every depart- ment of ‘American life. The sturdy qualities that made the hardy Pilgrim fathers founders of our own beloved New England taught les- sons of patriotism from the deck of the Mavfiower and the side of Plymouth Rock that forever influence American thought and action and the sterling justice of the Catholic founders of Maryland proclaiming for the first time in America “equal civic rights for men of every religious denomina- tion” established one of the most noble and essential guarantees of national success and harmony. Our Patriotic Obligations. The patriotic eloquence of Patrick Henry’s “Give me Liberty or give me Death” has sounded far beyond the Virginia Legislature and strikes a re- sponsive chord in the minds and hearts of every true American. The dashing courage and the noble manhood of Paul Revere and all the heroes of Con- cord and Lexington and Bunker Hill fighting and dving in defense of the truth that “Taxation without Repre- sentation is Tyranny” guaranteed the privileges of American citizenship and the loyalty of Nathan Hale and Israel Putnam and Brother Jonathan Trum- bull teach the ideals that should guide us in the fulfillment of our patriotic obligations to the and the Home of the Brave.” “Land of the Free The noble spirit of Saucy Jack Barry's “not for all the frigates of the British navy would I sell my loyalty to my country” pught to ring in the ears of every American and the ruined reputation and everlasting dishonor attached to the name of.
