GUILLAUME JOANNES

Guillaume Joannes was born at Houte, Pyrene, France, Mch. 4, 1851, and died at his home in Clifton at the age of 86 years and 2 months.

As a young man he served in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. In this campaign, through exposure, his feet were frozen and deformed as a result, but not to an extent to cripple him.

Following his discharge from the army, he came to America in 1873, settling on a farm in the vicinity of L'Erable. Not long afterwards he was married, and the couple continued to live on their farm until 1897. Ere two daughters were born, grew to young womanhood, and married.

In 1897 Mr. Joannes bought a home in Clifton and moved to town. In 1917 his wife died, after which he lived alone for eight years. Feeling the weight of years, he induced his daughter and her husband, Frank Blain, to leave their farm and come to live with him and care for him his remaining years. This they did in 1925, and did all in their power to make his life happy and comfortable.

In spite of his age he was quite active until a couple of months ago before his death. It was his habit to take long walks daily about the village which he thoroughly enjoyed. Until a few years ago he had always been greatly interested in gardening and managed each year to produce a crop of vegetables that was the envy of his neighbors.

Surviving are two daughters - Mrs. Frank Blain, of Clifton, and Mrs. George H. Sturdy, of Gardner - three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted from St. Peter's church, Clifton, Friday forenoon, Rev. Fr. Sweeney officiating, and interment was in the L'Erable cemetery. Pall bearers were six nephews.

And so closed a long life-uneventful but serene.
