R.F.D. Carrier on Route 1 from the time of its going into effect until
a few years ago when he retired because of ill health. He was an esteemed
member of the Jr. O.U.A.M. of Gossville and of the Odd Fellows. A man
always kind in his dealings with his fellowmen, a kind husband, brother
and friend has gone to his last rest.
The surviving relatives are the widow, who was Rachel A. Wells (Rogers);
a brother, George, and sister, Mrs. W.C. Burnham, nieces and nephews,
all of Epsom; also a step son, Charles C. Rogers of Pittsfield.
