On the night of the 15th instant, ... Saturday

The deceased was a man of a peculiar temperament—of a rather hasty disposition, and of reserved manners; but generous and honorable—to borrow the expression of a friend "an everyday gentleman." His remains were taken charge of by Jas. Shaw—deceased's cousin—and will be interred at Bishop Creek. No better eulogy need be pronounced upon him than that he lost his life while trying to prevent bloodshed.

Barnet is a small town in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom situated along the Connecticut River. Its five villages are Barnet Village, East Barnet, West Barnet, McIndoe Falls, and Passumpsic.

Perpetual Calendar and Birth, Death, and Age Calculators used. I believe the 35 years is correct. I could be off also.
