Boston 'Herald' - Word was received Thursday morn. of the death of J. Maxfield RAYMOND, better known in this city and vicinity at Jerry RAYMOND. He had been ill for a long time and his death was not unexpected. Mr. Raymond was born in Woodstock, N.B. in 1850 and came to Boston when he was 20 years of age. He worked as a compositor on several New Brunswick newspapers, including the 'Herald', for a number of years and in 1880 commenced with his brother, C.M. RAYMOND, the manufacture of the Raymond skate, developing a business which attained remarkable growth. While the roller skating craze in this country died, it became as much a fad in Australia and countries as it was here, and firm did a large foreign business. He leaves a widow and four brothers.
