In 1885 he sold out, came to New Britain and accepteda position in the Stanley Works, but gave this up to go to TX and engage in cattle raising onEagle Lake.9

Barnes had beautiful luck as a rancher. Almost his first nice experience was while ridingabout the prairie, watching the cattle one day, to draw a bead with his Winchester on a prairiehen. The report of his gun startled the horse, who threw Barnes off his back and started off. Tosee a man walking over the prairie was a new sight to the cattle and they crowded from all sidesaround Barnes and it was only by the hardest work that he escaped being trampled to death bythem.Seeing no prospective profit in cattle raising, he conceived the idea of a geese farm and laidout $150 in procuring a fine flock. The first night the geese were on the ranch the wolves madea descent on them and carried off all but two. Determined to get even with the wolves hesprinkled meat with poison and scattered it in their way. Two of his best dogs, valued at $75each found it before the wolves did, and promptly turned up their toes.Finally Barnes got sick, very sick, and had the closest kind of a call to sit somewhere on theedge of a damp cloud and twang a harp by moonlight. When he was able to sit up he had to getover into the health-restoring atmosphere of San Antonio and stay for several months and giveup all ideas of cattle raising.Then he wandered from Dan to Beersheba through the western country, his Yankeeingenuity being taxed to its utmost by having to turn his hand to many occupations. We find hima teamster in St. Louis, a roustabout on a Mississippi steamboat, a lumberman in Minnesota, aminer and a homesteader at Bismarck in Dakota, an assistant in the government survey of theBad Lands, a farm hand and a railroad brakeman, in Illinois, a contractor in an Ohio factory, andfinally back again in New Britain in the Stanley Works. All this teeth-sharpening experiencedone Barnes good and laid the foundation for his present magnificent success as the "WoodMan".It is only a year ago in July that he bought out the wood business carried on for twenty yearsby Uncle Horace Booth in Lafayette street. He has extended the business and sells about tentimes as much wood as Mr. Booth ever did. Few people suspect the amount of wood hehandles. Just at present he has over 600 cords stored in three different places in New Britain.He buys much of his father, who owns a saw mill and 10,000 cords of standing wood in Hartfordcounty.Barnes has added to the wood business he bought of Booth several kinds of kindlings, coal,charcoal, baled hay and straw and in all of these lines is gaining every day. The public is findingout that Barnes deals on the square and gives full measure, full weight of all he sells.Our advice to readers who do not know Barnes is to scrape acquaintance with him bypatronizing him.

And how about tattered ortom flags -- is there a correct way to retire them?The answers to those questions were deeply important to the late John Cochran, a KoreanWar veteran from Burlington who spent many of his retirement years trying to educate peopleabout flags and flag etiquette.In his memory, a Massachusetts-based American Veterans of World War II, Korea andVietnam post will sponsor flag education programs in several New England public schools thisyear.Cochran, who died two years ago at 66, had been close friends with the commander of AmvetsPost 12 in Chicopee, Mass., according to his brother, Don Cochran of Burlington.Post 12 has been selling flags since April to raise money for a flag education campaign, andannounced this week that it will sponsor a number of New England schools to participate in atraining program run by the National Flag Foundation. The goal is to educate young peopleabout the correct way to display and care for an American flag.John Cochran, who was stationed in Japan during his service in the Air Force, later workedfor the Farmington school system. He felt strongly that Americans should know the correct rulesfor handling their flag."He had a need to spread flag etiquette. He went about it tooth and nail," said Don Cochran,a Vietnam War veteran who holds vigils to publicize the campaign to remember U.S. prisonersof war and servicemen missing in action."John got interested in the vigils to keep people aware of the fact that sometimes people goto war and don't come back. But his real specialty was flag etiquette," Don Cochran said.28

Burial inCenter Cemetery, Burlington CT.Below is a letter Jeff wrote shortly before his death.WORDS OF GRATITUDE FROM JEFFREY CZOPORThese words of gratitude were received from Jeff on December 3rd. They were shared withthe worshipping community on that first Sunday of Advent. It is Jeffrey's wish that they beshared with everyone through this newsletter. Jeff continues on his way to renewed health aswe continue to hold he and his family in our prayers.Dear Friends,Considering November 27 was the one year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis, I havespent this past week counting and contemplating upon the many blessings that have beenbestowed upon me.ABOVE ALL else I am most grateful for the tremendous support system that has perpetuallysurrounded me every step of the way; many of whom are individuals and families of thiscongregation. Your phone calls, memos, letters, holiday cards, homemade cards and visits31

ceased to ever halt at any point during this past year -I was forever reminded that I was neveralone.Furthermore, I am thankful that I have continually been uplifted in prayer -and indeed, I havefelt those prayers from all angles. I only ask that they continue as I am currently going throughthe biggest transition I have yet faced -the post Bone Marrow Transplant phase.I would like to share with you an experience that demonstrates God's awesome power, as itis our duty to share these events when we bear direct witness to them.On the day before I was supposed to start the initial medications in preparation for thetransplant, I received news from my doctor that a CT scan reading taken that morning showedan image which appeared to be an unidentifiable mass -something that wasn't there on aprevious scan.Although it could be a number of things, they obviously couldn't rule out it being cancerwithout doing a biopsy. My doctor was gracious but did indicate that the transplant would be onhold further until determination. Essentially, a new mass would indicate that my body had notfully responded to the chemotherapy I had gotten several weeks earlier.Other professionals in the office approached the situation rather solemnly as if preparing mefor the worst. I had prepared myself psychologically for the transplant for weeks and now the rugseemed to be pulled right from under me. Additionally, I was given ample time to fret as thebiopsy couldn't be performed for another four days due to tight scheduling problems.Of course, I freaked out a bit as us humans with challenging diseases should at times. Iwent home, had a good cry and decided that the only way to get through the next several dayswas to somehow revolutionize the approach to facing my fears and how this impacted myrelationship with God.Although I had been the recipient of many prayers and had prayed during the entire extent ofmy illness, I had always regarded my situation with some ounce of old-fashioned skepticism.Translation - I trusted God's power but had never given my faith and fears COMPLETELY overto Him. But now, in the biggest decision that was ever to effect my life, I decided it might beworth a try to do this.During the weekend previous to the biopsy, I called a number of friends and familyasking for their support and prayers. Instead of asking them to ask God to MAKE EVERYTHINGPERFECT (i.e., please, please don't let it be cancer), I asked everyone to give me the strengthto hand the situation completely over to God and to put MY FAITH in his ability to allow me tohandle the reality of whatever was to happen. Once this was done, to grant me a sense of calmand peace.The next day, I felt as if giant weights had been lifted off my shoulders. Although Ioccasionally thought about the upcoming biopsy, my mind seemed more prone to contemplateother things. On the day of the biopsy, I felt remarkably refreshed.Still worried around the edges, however, I spent the 3 hours previous to the procedure (whilereceiving a plasma transfusion) in prayer. Having found in a special prayer book words thatcontinually reminded me of God's everlasting presence and ability to renew the mind, bodyingso - I repeated the following several times as if a mantra.INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY WHICH YOU HAVECREATED, REDEEMED, RENEWED. O LORD, O GOD OF TRUTH, AS YOU HAVECREATED AND RENEWED ALL THAT I POSSESS AND ALL THAT I LOVE,Never before had I felt so completely invigorated by anything, so much that it far exceededwhat it insinuated, Often we hear the words but only half believe them. Resting quitecomfortably on the biopsy table, I stared at the ceiling with a serenity that is quite inexplicable. Iremember smiling as a little voice in my head said "Have no fear" you will be out of here beforeyou know it".Within moments, one of the surgeons came over and asked (as if a joke) "what side of theabdomen is this mass supposed to be on, the left?" "No, the right," I responded, the other player32

of our newly-formed vaudeville act, He went back over to the scanner and consulted for a fewminutes with the other doctor. I continued to lie on the table fearlessly."So, do you want the bad news or good news first?" he questioned, "The bad news," Iresponded quickly, "Well, the bad news is we have wasted your time today…The good news iswhatever was there is now gone, or at least vanished from the scanner,"Of course, there are not big enough words to describe how it is to be the recipient of suchmiracles but I will say this! When they do happen, don't forget to share them and forever praiseGod's abilities in thanksgiving. After all, that is an equal part of the giving it over to God theory.Czwercko, George, of Arch St. Burlington, born in Austria, 1899-1942. Was a polisher in thatCollins Co.

Burial in West Cemetery, Bristol, CT.KRAPPATSCH, MATILDA S. 75, (1847, 6-20-1923) died this past week recalls how one canlive a considerable portion of ones life in the big city and yet come to love the country far better,for many years prior to coming to Burlington, Mrs.Krappatsch lived in New York City and yet shefound life's happiest existence on a farm located on a back road, with no traffic, at least one-halfmile from Whigville Center. She became exceedingly fond of this home surrounded by woodson all sides and could have told many that life's best is not to be found in the nervous frivolity ofthe city but in the quit of the country where one comes closest to all that nature's God hasprovided. So dearly did Mrs. Krappatsch love the town of Burlington that in her last years sheoften stated that she did not wish to be buried in Bristol where other members of the family hada burial lot, but in the Milford Street cemetery in Burlington, where she was laid to rest.Burlington truly had a loyal daughter in Matilda Krappatsch, one who loved the old town with aloyalty not often met with. Farmington Valley Herald-6-28-1923.The burial of Mrs. Krappatsch at the Lamson Corner Cemetery calls attention to the fact thatthere are but three vacant lots in the whole cemetery and there would not be that many but forthe fact that families to whom they were assigned have moved away without ever making anyuse of the lots. The cemetery is kept in good condition for a country cemetery and is in chargeof Sherman B.Scoville. The ancestors of several prominent families he buried here. At one timea Methodist Church stood near this cemetery but later it was moved to Burlington Center andwhen still later the Protestant population of the town was not large enough to support twochurches, the Methodist Church was sold to the town and has been for many years theBurlington town hall.It is always a good sign to see a town interested in keeping up its old cemeteries. In thesegraveyards lie many who have made valuable contributions to the town's life in the past andthey deserve in their last resting place the care and gratitude which coming generations cangive if they but give a little thought to such matters.

The frightful accident occurred at the logging camp of Ed. Eastman on DeepCreek. Lowrey was in charge of a donkey engine which was being moved across the creek. A75

stringer of the bridge gave way, overturning the machine and Lowrey was caught underneath insuch a way that it was utterly impossible for his companions to extricate him. With his backsquarely against the boiler Lowrey was slowly cooked to death. He made a hard fight todrowned himself in the waters of the creek. When the accident first occurred, his head wasunder water for twenty minutes, but his companions succeeded in raising it above the watersurface and held it there despite his efforts to free himself and drown. Every possible effort wasmade by the fifteen fellow workers to rescue Lowrey, but nothing they could do would budge theengine. Lowrey was conscious to the last and gave the men his dying requests. He was one ofthe best known and most popular engineers in the state. For a number of years he resided inCentralia and was engineer on the Northern Pacific on the main line between Tacoma andEllensburg.

Burial in CenterCemetery, Burlington, CT.ENDNOTESCREMATIONSDecember 9, 1997 marks the 205 th anniversary of the cremation of colonial statesman HenryLaurens near Charleston, SC -- the first formal flame-out on American soil. These dayscremation is all the rage, with 22% of Americans choosing it over burial. According to JackSpringer, head of the Cremation Association of North America; --In ancient Rome only the rich were cremated. Christians did away with the practice becauseof the doctrine of bodily resurrection. The Catholic Church only recently permitted ashes to bepresent at funeral masses. “When Hindus are cremated in America, the eldest son pushes thebutton on the crematory, just as he would light the funeral pyre.”Between 1875 and 1900 there were fewer than 5,000 cremations in the US. “Hardly anyonewas cremated before 1930. There were few crematoriums, and it was looked on as bizarre.”Only 25% of cremated Americans have their ashes scattered; the rest are either buried(55%) or placed in a niche in a columbarium (20%)The ashes of Timothy Leary and “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry went into space onboard a US satellite. Other fun ways to scatter: Pacific Memorials in Los Angeles mixes ashesinto fireworks (818-704-0165); Canuck’s Sportsman’s Memorials in Des Moines stuffs them intoshotgun shells. (515-244-8631).Earlier this year the ashes of Mark Gruenwald, an editor at Marvel Comics, were put into theink of a single-volume comic series called Squadron Supreme. It’s available at comic bookstores for $25.00CREMATORIUMSCedar Hill Crematory in Hartford has 3 retorts or furnaces. About 30 percent of people whodie in Connecticut are cremated, although the national average is 26 percent. The CremationAssociation of North America estimates that by 2025 more than 65 percent of the state’sdeceased will be cremated, compared with 50 percent nationwide. Some reasons; it is cheaper,and a cremation takes up less room, the ashes can be easily transported, even by mail.The retort interior is long and skinny like a pizza oven. The cremation at 1,600 degrees takesabout two hours including cooling. The remains, about 5 to 9 pounds of ash and bone fragmentsare then swept into a tray with a steel brush where a magnet is used to pick out any metal,sometimes, even a nail might be found, then they are pulverized, ready to be placed in an urn.Hartford Courant, 3-30-2003First known death in Burlington, 1743.BRADLEY, WENTWORTH, Maplelawn the home of Mr. & Mrs. of Whigville, together with theentire contents were destroyed by fire.
