BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BLOOD.
Hon. B. F. Blood died in Waltham, Mass., Oct. 14, 1904, in the 82 year of his age. His last sickness was of short duration, the cause of his death being bronchitis and arterial heart trouble. He had been in his home only nine days, having just returned from a trip north. While on that trip he had stopped in Windsor to be present at the dedication of the Windsor Library building recently completed, and a gift from him to the townspeople of Windsor. While visiting friends farther north, he contracted a cold, from which he never fully recovered.
Mr. Blood is a descendant of James Blood of Puddington, Eng., who came to this country in 1641. The father and sons settled in Pepperell, Concord and Groton, Mass. Blood had four great – grandfathers and two that were in the revolutionary war. One of them, Moses Blood, went from Pepperell, Mass., with fifteen other men to the battle of Bunker Hill. Eight of them were killed and eight were wounded. Moses Blood was among the latter.
The great grandson was twice married, but of his immediate family, including two sons and five daughters, none are now living. A brother, Sewall Blood of Nashua, N. H., who is in his 80th year, survives him. Another brother, Aretas Blood of Manchester, N. H., died a few years ago, in the 82nd year of his age. Other relatives now living, nephews and nieces, are: Sewall Aretas Blood of Ashland, Mass., Gilbert Blood of Weston, Mass., Mrs. Esther Blood Goding of Nashua, N. H., Mrs. Nora Blood Carpenter, Mrs. Emma Blood French and Mrs. Nellie Morrison Thompson of Manchester, N. H., Mr. Fred Morrison of Panama, Mexico, and Mr. Frank Morrison in the west.
Mr. Blood's remains were brought to Windsor for burial in the Old South cemetery, Monday. Funeral services were held in the Old South church, Rev. Mr. Hayes officiating. The musical service was rendered by the male quartet, accompanied by Miss Penniman; Messrs. Payson, Dews , Martin and Bartlett. The bearers were Messrs. H. P. McClary, H. B. Thompson, Charles Stone, Charles Tuxbury, F. W. Flint and M. O. Perkins. Undertaker Lyman F. Cabot was in charge. The floral contributions were choice and appropriate, and other manifestations of respect and esteem were made by the closing of places of business generally, and the high and grammar schools, during the funeral."
(Benjamin Blood became a farmer and moved to Waltham, Massachusetts, but he honored the area where he grew up by leaving the Mary L. Blood Memorial Library in West Windsor (1901), the Weathersfield Proctor Library in Ascutney (1903) and the Windsor Library. Blood was the only benefactor to build three libraries in Vermont, with the exception of Andrew Carnegie who funded four.)
