NORWICH BULLETIN, MUNDAY, DECEVIBER Z5, 1922 ~ 4 DANIELSON AND DANIELSON Mrs. Emiline Toutellotte died Sunday morning ata her home on Prospect street. Had she lfved uptil today she would have been 99 years of age. Mrs. Tourtellotte was born on Christmas day, 1824, at Pas- coag, R. L, and came to Danielson about 30 years ago, making her home with her son, Cassius P. Tourteliotte. Uptl a year ago she enjoyed fine health and;had & wonderfully clear mentality and mark- ed originality of thought. Her health bad been failing for a year and for the past week she had been critically ill. Mrs. Ann Conway who would have been 99 in Apfil died Saturday night at her home near Dayville. She was a na- tive of Ireland, the widow of Thomas Conway ‘and lived the greater part of her life in this country, for the last 60 years in the Home where she died. She leaves one son, John Conway, with whom she ‘made her home. Mrs. John Doyle of Dan- felson and Mrs. Charles Hanley of Pom- tret are granddaughters of the deceased and Thomas Grimes of Pomfret is a grandson. Sunday afterncon is his home in East Killingly funeral services for Thomas Robbins were conducted by Rev. E. A. Gallup, pastor of the Danielson Pente- costal church. During the service hymns were sung by Mrs. Andrew Potter and Walter Y. Wood. Delegations from the G. A. R, Sons of Veterans and Moriah lodge of Masons were in attendance armd at the Westfleld cemetery burial services were conducted by Harry Briarly, master of the lodge. A. F. Wood was the funeral directar. Mr. Robbins died suddenly Friday night. He was born in Dudley 76 years ago, but had lived the greater part of his life in this town. He was a veteran of the Civil war in which he served as a member of the K company, Connecticut Volunteers. He leaves no relatives nearer than his nephew, James Culley at whose home he died. Twe girls each 13 years of age, rm were returned here Saturday night from Boston to which city they paid a visit on Friday without informing their par- ents they were going away. One of the girls abstracted $40 from her father's hoard before leaving on the trip. They left here on a trolley at 6.10 Friday night and got a Boston train out of Putnam. Little difficulty was experienced in trac- ing their movement and a telephone mes- sage from the local police to the Boston police set agents of the Travelers’ Aid Society on tho lookout for them. They were located about midnight in Friday th the South Station out of which they had wot ventured for several hours after their train landed them in Boston. The giris were brought back in an automobile sent to Boston for them. Chief John McFarland had a telegram from the State Motor Vehicle Depa-tment reiterating that there will be no exten- sion of thme for running on 1922 motor wehicle markers and that on and after Monday next, drivers operating undtr the old plates will be subject to arrest and prosecution. ) . Whe telegram contains the request that the widest publicity be given this an- nouncement. Warnings are alsc issued that it is not likely that registrations re- ceived after Dec. 28 can be filled prior to the first of the year on account of the rush experienced. The department points out that the automobilists have had since jov. 1 in which to register their ma- e and the department should not he held accountable for delays that may oc- sar now, as thousands rushto register at he end of the vear. 3 Sunday afternoon many took advantag 5t the postoffice being open an kour to secure Christmas mail and packages. The »ffice force has practically cleaned up its work of the holiday period and this morn- ing will have to deal only with the tail end of the rush. The usual Christmas mail service will be maintained today and throughout this territory rural carriers will cover their redtes ‘as on any ordin- ary day. WESTMINSTER There wasg no church worship at West- minster last week on account of the storm and the ice-covered roads. Very few were out. ‘The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wal- ter Marcotte are giad to hear that the latter is making a good recovery after her operation_for appendicitis at Hart- fordhospital. She expects to be renloved 1o the home of her sister, Mrs. Clarence Bengtson, n East Hartford, soon. Salve Olsen, now employed in Hart- ford,” spent the week end at Longview, his home. James Butler is gpending 2 few days in New York. The roast chicken community supper at’ the Moody home was well attended and proved vrey satisfactory. Some Were present from Plainfield. Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson and Arnthur Dusinberel furnished music and Miss Lestef, West- minster FAll teasher, acted as cashier. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Greene of Danielson sent regrets with costs for suppers they dfd not have. Schools in town closed Friday for the holidays, most having exercises and a Christmas tree. PUTNAM NEWS PUTNAM Nothing but a paltry $300 stands in the way of the young people of Putnam having a good sized and safe place to skate during the rest of the winter. If the city, town or public spirited citizens can see their way clear to raise this amount the ice rink will be assured. Henry Keech, who owns land through which flows the Little river, has offered its use free if someone will do the neces- sary work of floodidg a piece of meadow iland. City Engineer George W. Perry has taken sufficient interest in the pro- ject to look the ground over. The en- gineer thinks that $300 is all that will be needed in accomplishing the desired result. .The plan is to build a small dam on Peter's brook, which flows into the Little river and to direvt the water so that it will flow over the meadow and form a pond od what years ago was Putnam’s first golf course and near the swimming pool known as “Tourtelotte’s”. Surrounding the meadow are hills and the plan would include coasting and tobagganing. Electric light wires.pass through the field and the pond could be lighted at little extra expense. The plan is feasible and safe and nothing stands in the way but the $300. While Adelard Melanson, employed in a Main street cigar and confectionery store was dealing out sodas and sundaes he occassionally gave thought to a Brother Joe, whom he had not seen in eight years and whose whereabouts to him are unknown. The holiday season was on and Adelard’s thoughts went back to the days when his brother and himself gathered with father, mother, brothers add sisters around the family hearth in Monkton and Amherst, New Brunswick. At the same time just around :the corner a musical comedy was staging its show afternoons and_ evenings. The everlasting center of shuch shows, the Hebrew and Irish comediens, were going through their antics to bring smiles from a good sized audiedce, Joe Burkhart, the Irish comedian, while off stage, was also thinking of parents, brothers and sisters in the New Brunswick city and woudering as to the whereabouts of a brother, Adelard, for Burkhart was only Joe's stage name,” his right name being Melason. And so the two brothers, ,not a block apart who had not seen each other in eight years performed their sev- eral duties. A couple of showmen supporting the two comedians drifted into the cigar and confectionery store for some fags. Adelard waited on his customers and sensing hat they were show people, he asked them if a couple of actors named Orth and Burkhart were still behind the footlights. -He was. informed that the pair were not teaming together any more. But the two actors said that the team was known to them and that Burkhart was playing in the same company with them just around the cormer. * “You mean to tell me,” said Adelard, “that Joe Burkhart is in Putnam?” “Yes,” replied the actors, “He is with the show. Why do you ask?” The réply came quickly—“He is my brother and 1 have not seen him in eight years and I did not know where he was or wheth- er he was alive or dead.” A few minutes later there was: a small sized family reunion at the Main street store as brother grasped brother's hand and it was not until some time later that the two separated. In Amherst and Monkton, New Bruds- wick the two brothers grew up together. Joe left his home town and went on the stage and has circled the country as a comedian. For eight years little has been heard - directly from him. All of ‘the week after the brothers came together they ‘spent all of their spare hours with one another and before the show closed in Putnam Saturday night they had per- fected plans to visit the old folks. Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Melanson, ‘whom neither has seen for nearly ten years. Adelard has lived in Putnam for about six years and his present employment is new to him but it' was the means of finding his brother Joe and Joe's delight has been madifest by the pep and snap he has been putting into his work ever since the reunited lost brothers act was gtaged in the Main street store. One of the pretticst, sayest and most elaborate Christmas observances ever seen in Putnam was that of the Man- hasset Manufacturing Company which, through the superintendent, Johd P, Hanton, entertained its employes ,and children mot over 14 years of ag€, on the top flooy’ of Mill No. 2, Saturday evening. s _The large room was banked on all sides with evergreen and the ceiling was canopied in panel effect in white and green. Red strandg of crepe paper add- ed a bright color effect and in the cen- ter glistened a large electric star. At the front of the room was built a fireplace at the sides of ,which stood two- largee - Christmas trees beautifully dec- orated. Four hundred power search- lights flooded the trees and transformed them into a glitering, sparkling mass. Another large star far up in the fireplace “chimney” gave the effect of a burning fire id the grate below.. Hundreds of colored lights all about the room gave the effect of glittering stars. Nothing Miss Dorothy Lestér of Ledyard is vis- Nng her sister, Miss Lucy Lestery at Rose cottage. The church school is to have. its Christ- mds doings and exercises’ Christmas night, Monday, and will welcome its friends at 7.30 o'clock. ITALIAN CONSULATE IN LISBON BOMBED Lisbon, Dec. 24—A bomb was ex- ploded today against the door’ of .the Italian consulate here. Only slight. dam- nge Was caused.

It was amid this Christmas scene that upwards of 500 children were en- tertmined by the superintendent on be- half of the company.” There was an ens tertainment by twelve children and prizes were awarded for excelledce in presenta- tion. Santa Claus came down the chim- ney later in the evening and every child received a gift. ‘William Pechie, overseer in the mill of the Nightingale-Morse Corporation mill, Was presented an office chair, two boxes of cigars and a fountain pen by his em- | Ames. ployes.

Directors of the Putnam Ceuntry dnh‘ have obtained an option t6 purchase the remainder of the Heath property, a part ot which was bought some years ago for the original club. The tract cousists of about nine acres and is contiguous to the club grounds. The plan will be pre- sented at an early meeting of the club. The club membership is busy sellidg tick- ets in a scheme which it is hoped will result in a pumber of thousand dollars being raised so that all encumberances may be removed from its present fine property with possibly enough over to buy the desired additional tract. The Aresaum club is new regularly in- stalled in its Dew home in the house on South Main street owned by the town. A partitiod was removed making room for the billiard and pool tables, the house has been newly wired with a porch light lighting the entrance and a telephone in- stalled. A membership list of consider- able proportions has been placed on the bulletin board since the club removed to its new quarters and the outlooq for the future is the brightest in years. The Adams Manu: company of North Scituate, R. 1., which recedtly be- came owners of a part of the factory buildings of the Nightingale-Morse Cor- poration of this city with a view to oc- cupying them late next year are plan- ning to begin the construction of an ad- dition to their property .early next spring. The addition will accommodate 300 looms. These will be. new machines in addition to the 280 looms the com- pady now operates. The mill is em- ploying 130 people and most of them will be asked to come to Putnam with the concern. It is expected that the company will remove its plant to Put- nam in the late summer or early fall of next year. = Santa Claus comeluded his duties in Putnam Saturday evening after a stren- uous week in which he answered hun- dreds of questions, recorded id his book hundreds of varying gifts desired, and shook hands with hundreds of small ad- mirers. The plan carried out under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce was most successful and the children had one whole joyous week following St. Nick upand down the street to their hears content. Putnam nearly had a coasting fatali- ty Saturday mording when the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simeon La- rose ~slid in front of an automobile owned by S. Kaminsky and driven by Resario Lacroix. The driver tried to avoid hittin\g the little girl and nearly do. She wis taken to a doctor’s office where it was found that no bones and unless internal injuries develop she was: apparently but slightly injured. The Putmam pelice have received mne- tice from the state motor vehicle depart- ment that there will be no extension of time this vear in registration and driv- ers are warned not to drive their cars uriless they carry the new number plates. On behalf of his employes Edward J. McKenna of Walnut street, an overseer in the French River Textile Compddy, Mechanicgville, was presented a fine sax- ophone.
