The sudden death of Joseph Chayer,
which occurred in Brightlook Hospital,
St. Johnsbury, about noon Wednesday,
was a great shock to his family,
and many friends. Mr. Chayer had been
in failing health for a long period
and had been in Brightlook Hospital
twice, but the seriousness of his
illness was not realized by his family.
Funeral services will be held at the
late residence Saturday afternoon,
with interment at Lyndon Center.

this state on March 19, 1852, the son
of John and Margaret Ryan Chayer. His
entire life was spent in Cambridge,
Shelburne, and Lyndon, where he followed
the blacksmith by trade until his health
failed. He carried the mail between
the post office and depot for some years,
and in all his work he was a painstaking,
conscientious workman. The deceased was
a member of the Methodist Church here.
Mr. Chayer's marriage to Miss Mary Bushey
took place in Shelburne on Jan. 22, 1872.

was killed about eighteen years ago in a
railroad accident, Leon of Wilder, Miss
Mary Chayer of Des Moines, Iowa, Miss

twelve grand-children. Miss Bertha
Chayer of Lyndonville, Robert Chayer
of Wilder, Homer, Marion, Pearl, Roland
and Fern Stahl, Stanley and Kenneth Keyes,

and Miss Ross Chayer was a highly respected
citizen, a kind husband and father and
his bereaved family have the sympathy of
