Anthony died at his home on South Main street Tuesday morning after some months of failing health, Mr. Anthony was boen in An- thony, R. L, Sept. 8, 1835, having quietly celebrated his $7th birthday two weeks ago. His parents were Albert and Amy A. Arnold Anthony; his ancestry shows a clear line from the English colonists. His [father was a machinist and a manufac- turer of cotton yaen, and was a member of the Rhode Island state senate for two téerms. 'Mr. Anthony obtained an excel- lent education at the public schools and at Bast Greeuwich academy, graduating at Wesleyan university, Middletown, in 1860, working his way for the most part through both courses of study. Fog two years he taught a private school at Man. chester, Conn. He united with the New England Southern conference and was a member at the time of his death and was actively engaged in the Methodist minis- try for 30 years, holding several pastor- ates on Cape Cod, including South Teuro and Osterville, also at Duxbury, Mass., and at several places in Connecticut. On account of trouble with his throat, Mr. Anthony gave up the regular care of 4 church several years ago, yet until re- cently he often supplied pulpils hewve and there as the calls came, £ Mr. Anthony was a ready and con- vincing speaker, not only in the pulpit, but on any current subject. His value to the Methodist church, if it could be ex- pressed in a list of benefits, would show the result sof a steady love for its insti- tutions. In the church and its needs and interests he proved himself one of the special agents of God. The influence of his high stan&aed of Christian character was a benefit and a much prized asset to Jewett City throughout a greater part of his long and useful life. He was the honored president of the Jewett City Savings bank, treasurer of the Methodist church trustes, and had recently cetired from 20 years of service as treasurer of the stewards of the Meth- odist church. He was president of the trustees of the Slater library and for 24 years he has served as recording sthward Of the Methodist church.
