Obituary
BELLOWS FALLS
John C. Sears of South Wardsboro, late of Wilmington, and formerly Captain of Co. E., 11th Vt. Reg't., commited suicide at Bellows Falls last Saturday afternoon, by taking laudanum. Sears left home Monday week for Brattleboro to make arrangements for moving thither, but afterwards returned to Newfane, and having wandered about the county for four or five days in a debauch, ended his life. He was respectably connected.
