Rutland Daily Herald-Sept. 9, 1936

Mrs. Lydia Sharrow, 63, widow of John Sharrow, was found dead early yesterday
afternoon at her home,189 Crescent Street. According to City Health Officer Clare M. Cole

and Dr. James J. Reedy the woman's death resulted from a heart attack complicated by accidental inhalation of illuminating gas.

Mrs. Sharrow's body was found about 12:55 o'clock by Mrs. Henry Pockette and Mrs. W. W. Witherell, both of Crescent Street, lying on the floor of a bedroom occupied by Mrs. Sharrow's son, Oliver. Gas was escaping from a small gas heater located in the room, the jet being open.

Dr. Reedy, who arrived shortly after the discovery of the body, stated that
Mrs. Sharrow had been dead about three hours. Members of the fire department were called to the scene with inhalators, but in view of the fact that the woman had been dead for so long a time no attempt was made to resuscitate her.

Owing to the position of the body near the heater and the fact that a
burned match was in the woman's right hand, the doctor pronounced the death accidental.
Health Officer Cole and Dr. Reedy said they believed that Mrs. Sharrow was in the act of lighting the gas heater when she sustained a heart attack. Before she could regain her senses she was overcome by the fumes, they assume.

The victim had been suffering from heart attacks for several
months, relatives said. The last person believed to have seen Mrs.
Sharrow alive was Louis Cota of Geno Avenue. He stated that he visited with Mrs. Sharrow about 8 o'clock. She was lying on a sofa in a front room at the time and complained of not feeling well.

Mrs. Pockett, one of the women who found the body, said she became alarmed about Mrs. Sharrow when she noticed that the morning mail had not been taken into the house before dinner time. This led to a visit to the house, discovery of the body and notification of health authorities.

Oliver Sharrow, with whom Mrs. Lydia Sharrow lived, was in Middlebury when he learned of the death of his mother.

Mrs. Sharrow, leaves, besides Oliver Sharrow, four other sons, Earl of
Malone, N.Y.,George of Uncasville,Conn.,Felix of Thorndike, Mass., and Raymond of Boston. Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Ida Boyer and Mrs. William Miller of Malone, N.Y.,and two brothers,Alfred and Edward Dauphin of Malone. Mrs. Sharrow's husband died in June 1934.

Funeral services will be held Friday at the Church of the Sacred Heart of Mary. The burial will be in St. Joseph's cemetery.

GREEN MOUNTAIN LANCERS.--We recently witnessed the drill of this fine company of lads at our Town Hall, which they are permitted to use as an armory.

The proficiency to which they have attained is really surprising and
commendable. Let no one suppose that the time spent in military
exercises and study by these boys is thrown away. The importance of
making military tactics a branch of study in our academies and schools is quite generally acknowledged .

Some of our academies in this State have already a military
department.And the bill which recently passed Congress donating lands to the States for the establishment and support of Agricultural Colleges, provides specifically for military instruction, as part of the course of study in these Colleges.

The following is the Muster Roll of the Lancers:
