Another Good Man Gone - It is with deep regret, that we are called upon to announce the death of Deacon Malcolm Buchanan of this town, which occurred at his residence, Sunday, the 24th last. He was universally respected as an upright and worthy citizen, and this community loses a man whose place will be hard to fill. He was born in Scotland, near Paisley on the Clyde, and came to this country at the age of nineteen years, to join his father's family, which came a few years previous, to assist them in making a home in this their adopted country. He located in Derby, Vt., where he lived several years, and there married his wife, (Emily Holt,) who survives him. Early in life he found the Savior precious to his soul, and committed all his ways to Him, and united with the Congregational church in the town of Derby. From Derby, they moved to Holland, Vt., where was born to them six daughters and one son, the latter and four daughters; survive him, and were all present at the death and burial of their beloved father. In his social circle he was justly esteemed and loved, and there are many who have enjoyed a life-long acquaintance with him, who will look in vain over the list of the departed to find one who was more personally loyal, to friendship and to truth.
