Alonzo D. Folsom died of pneumonia at his home, on the Willoughby road, Saturday, Feb. 3.
Alonzo D. Folsom was born Dec. 3, 1846, the son of Dana Alonzo and Sophia Folsom.
On Feb. 2, 1868, he married Miss Katherine Curtiss, their 48th anniversary occurring the
day before his death.
To them were born eight children: Dana A., who died at the age of twenty-four years,
Edna, who died in infancy, four sons: Andrew J., of Lawrence, Mass., William A., of
Somerville, Mass., Joseph H., and Gilbert A., of Newport; two daughters: Eliza, wife
of Dr. Gifford of Randolph, and Etta M., a teacher in St. Johnsbury, who with his wife
survive him.
Mr. Folsom served three years in the civil war, a member of regiment 11th Vt., Co. K,
heavy artillery and was a member of G. W. Quimby Post, No. 76. A man who held a large
place in the community in which he lived, a kind neighbor and friend, always ready to
lend a hand in time of sickness or trouble, he will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends.
Funeral services were held from the late home, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. W. A. Warner
officiating. Mrs. W.M. Wright and Mrs. H. J. Stannard sang two selections: Saved by Grace
and Rock of Ages.
The bearers were his four sons and the honorary bearers were his comrades: E. G. Colliston,
Osmond Dwyer, W. H, Brunning and Jacob Downing.
The many beautiful floral emblems spoke in their mute way of the love for the deceased
and the sympathy felt for the loved ones left.
Interment was in the South Barton cemetery.
