Skerry re- moved with his family from Salem to North Brookfield, in the spring of IS05, to enjoy the tranquil pleasures of an agricultural life. On the Tuesday before his death he left his family in health, to transport some of the fruits of his industry to Salem for market. On the Saturday following, about five o'clock P.M., while in Mr. Pope's stable viewing a span of horses, he was kicked by one of them in the lower part of the bowels. Conveyed to the house of a friend, relief was sought for him in vain from human skill and every kind attention. He died on Sabbath evening aged thirty-six, leaving a wife and five small children."

2. Edward N., son of Nathaniel 1. He was gifted with a remarkable inventive genius ; was the inventor of the paper-folding machine now in use by many of the newspaper and book-publishing houses in this country and in England, and one of the very important inyentions of the times.

Having gathered up all his worldly possessions at Washington, D.C., he came here to die, at the age of forty-nine.
