New Lisbon, July 16---Rupert Ward Rainey, 56, passed away at his home at New Lisbon Friday afternoon. He had been in poor health for about eight years, suffering from diabetes, yet was able to be around and attend his duties until about three weeks ago, when he was taken worse.

The family resided in Oneonta for a few years. Five years ago he bought the late Brayton Coy place at New Lisbon, where he had since resided and where he made many warm friends. A man of sterling character, quiet and unassuming, he was held in high esteem.
