Mr. Janes went to New York, then commonly called "York State," when that locality was considered "away out West"; in fact, it was thought to be near the "jumping off place" of the earth. He cleared land and built a log cabin, which served for a home for himself and his wife until he could build a permanent "framed house." He made large quantities of maple sugar, boiling the sap in a kettle set up on a stone

When his son, William, bought the place, the father moved to the gate house, now oeeu- pied by Mr. Flannigan, where he died. William Lilly lived on the Dean place and was twice married. He was a soldier of the civil war. In 1889 he became mail carrier between Holland and Brimfield, doing the work with great regularity and efficiency during the eight years of his service. He was also sexton of the church for a number of years. He served his country in the civil war, and became a loyal member of the G. A. R. to which he belonged. In 1904 he was disabled by an accident and then transferred the homestead to his eldest daughter, Mrs. Henry Curtis, with whom he lived till his death in 1914.

"WHAT LIFE HATH."
"Life hath its barren years, When blossoms fall untimely down, When ripened fruitage fails to crown The summer's toil; when nature's frown Looks only on our tears.
Life has its faithless days,- The golden promise of the morn, That seemed for light and gladness born, Meant only noontide wreck and scorn Hushed harp instead of praise.
Life has its valleys, too, Where we must talk with vain regret, With mourning clothed, with wild rain wet, Toward sunlight hopes that soon must set, All quenched in pitying dew.
Life hath its harvest moons, Its tasseled corn, its purple weighted vine, Its gathered sheaves of grain, the blessed sign Of plenteous ripened bread and pure, rich wine, Full hearts for harvest tunes.
Life hath its hopes fulfilled, Its glad fruitions, its best answered prayer, Sweeter for waiting long when holy air, Indrawn to silent souls, breathes forth its rare Grand speech, by joy distilled.
Life hath its Tabor heights, Its lofty mounts of heavenly recognition, Whose unveiled glories flash to earth, munition Of love and truth and clear intuition; Hail mount of all delights!"
Composed by William A. Lynn when 80 years old. Holland, Dec. 25, 1888.
