DEATH OF ST. CLAIR PAQUETTE

Mr. Paquette had been in the service of the St. Paul road for more than 30 years, of later years as a conductor. On coming home from his run, he went to the barn to see to his stock. Not returning in due season, Mrs. Paquette went to the barn and found him lying dead, having been suddenly stricken with heart failure.

He was the son of the late Moses and Madeline Paquette, who were among the early settlers in this valley, and he lived here until he entered the employ of the St. Paul road. He was always held in favorable regard by all who knew him here.
