Alfred Ames (81551419)
Died - At Westport, N. Y., July 28, Mr. Alfred Ames, aged 72. Mr. Ames was a resident of Addison County, being a member of the old Ames family of Shoreham. He was a man of such integrity of character that it may be safely said that no person during his long life ever detected him in a word of or act of dishonesty or deception. He was a pioneer in the cause of temperance and of anti-slavery, and was for years perhaps the only outspoken abolitionist in Leicester, the town in which he then resided. He lived and died a Christian.
