OBITUARY Mrs. Clarissa Chapman O'Brien. The death of Mrs. Clarissa Chapman O'Brien occurred in Everett, Mass., on Wednesday, following a lingering ill~ ness. She was born in Poquetanuck on March 3, 1827, the daughter of Al- lyn and_Elizabeth Kimball Chapman. Much of her early life was spent in Poquetanuck where she was united in marriage with Erastus O’Brien. Her husband was a member of the firm of Brewster & O'Brien. who ccnducted a grocery store on Ferry street for a long time. . Upon the death of her husband she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Edwin Troland in Malden, Mass. For the past few years she has resided in Everett. She is survived by her son- in-law and a -grandson, Leonard A. Troland of Malden. Samuel Hartshorn. The death of Samuel G. Hartshorn, one of Franklin's oldest and best known citizens, occurred Wednesday morning following an illness of only a week's duration. Mr. Hartshorn was born in Franklin on Nov. 25, 1830, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hartshorn. All his life was passed in Franklin and on March 17, 1875, he was united in marrigage with Miss Antoinette Blackmah by Rev. Mr. Dana. Mr. and Mrs. Harts- horn occupi€éd the Hartshorn home- stead, which has been the home of the Hartshorn family for many genera- tions. - fi. Hartshorn was the fifth in des- cent from Dr. David Hartshorn, fhe first physician and the first deacon of the Congregational church of the town of Franklin, who bought the land from Ensign Waterman about 1697. The land has since been owned- hy the Hartshorn family. Last November Mr. Hartshorn cele- brated his 87th birthday. This cele- bration was attended by a number of his relatives living in Franklin and Lebanon. For 42 years continuously Mr. Harts- horn had served as town clerk of Franklin. Last October he declined re- election, and his term of office expired Tuesday. Only a few hours, therefors, separated the closing of the last chap- ter of his official life and that of morial life. For 41 years he was also treas- urer. At another time he served ihe town as town clerk for a period of five years. He had therefore been town clerk for 47 years, or nearly half & centary, Mr. Hartshorn represented.the towa of Franklin in the state legislatura in 1887, and had also served as registrar of vital statistics. He was a member of the Franklin Congregational church, His wife survives him, First of Series of Dances. Ahout twenty couple of the dancing class conducted last winter by Ray- ond B.

This essay won the prize offered by the Connecticut State Soelety of Colonial Dames and com- ?eted for throughout the state, open 6 any liigh school pupil. It was read by Mr. Noyes as his graduation essay at the Notwich Free Academy. = As may be readily undeérstood it was very interesting “Following his paper Mrs. George A. Ashbey read a paper on Woman's Share in.the Worlda War. She refer- red to the numbers of women needed to carry on much of the work of the world today. The woman movement is acquiring a great sweéep onward. Many jobs and situations left by the men who must go to the front are al- ready being filled by .women or will soon be taken up by them of necessity. It has already taken place-in Europe and America will shortly face the same problem. As our men go, the women .must teke their places. In some places wa can now See elevators and street cars rufi and éperated by wo- men, mills and draughting rooms fill- ed by girl workers. In, Washington | preparations afre made for 10,- 000 women to fill clerical positions. Women ere feeding, clothing - and reparing ammunition for the armdes. iey are caring for the men behind the lines and at the front. The vast army of Red Cross and hospital work- ers is one brafich ‘'of the necessary ser- vice rendered by women. Women of high rank and position have goven-up palaces and lives of ease to the use of hospitals and the hardest form of ser- vice.Wemen in khaki servé a2s order- lies and in every other helpful ca- pacity. The women.of today have a big problem to handle and they will undoubtedly meet it bravely and with courage and resource. The D. A. R. is doing its share as it comeés. In Washifgton they of- fered to the council of defense the land adjoining their magnificent national building, which offer was accepted and 2 building for the use of the councit has been erected thereon. In the work of selling liberty bonds women were particularly active and one-third of the purchasers of the bonds were women. Much work is being done in women's colleges. Smith is rehabilitating six- valuable settlement work there. The assar girls have sent much needed couragement to the college girls in France in the way of a volume of poems of most uplifting and inspiring character, really tending to give the en- couragement of spirit to their French sisters. Mrs. Aslibey concluded by reciting a very touching poem illustrating what the French women are underging in the sacrifice of their sons and broth- ers to this cause. Tea was seryed in the closing social hdur, Mrs. Chailes W. Prentice and Mrs. Will S. Stearns pouring. MARLIN-ROCKWELL BRINGS ° COAL BY TRUCK Load Arrived tn Norwich From New Haven at 230 This Morning. The local power situation was great- 1y relieved Wednesday when the local electrical plant received iwo more carloads of steam .coal, giving suffi- cient coal to last for at least four days, The power was turned on .at noon ang several of the local factories which were shut down started up their machines. If more coal which is one the road consigned to the local plant arrives before the present supply runs out the situation is practically cJeared up.

Wednesday and remained on all night. At 2,80 o’clock this Thursday morn- ing an autotruck load of coal from | New Haven arrived here for the Mar- lin-Rockwell €o.
