Obituary.,

DEE: In Westminster, Aug, Sd. of typhoid dys-
EMERY Ms; MAIL TABLE HARRIS, wife OF lea.
John Mcneil, aged -.
She was a daughter of NJ. Peter Da.
Wis of Littleton, Mass, at which place
she was born on the Sd of March, 1895.
The greater part Of her life was spent in
Westminster, where under the pastoral
care Of Rev. Sylvester Sage, she united
with the Congregational church at the
age Of q. Her connection with the
church dates farther back than that Of
any other member now living except
one. She was one of the pioneers in the
Sabbath School enterprise in the town,
which was started in the year 1918 or
1914, and was for some thirty years &C.
lively engaged as a teacher in the school
She was diligent student Of the word
of God, and exemplifed the graces of
religion in humble and consistent chris
tan life. She was previous to her mar
rlage engaged portion of the time in
the work Of teaching and among her pu-
pills was Edmund Burke, since prominent
in political life. In her domestic rela-
lions she was one who looked we'll to the
ways Of her household, and ate not the
bread of idleness. 1t was her earnest
desire and prayer, that she might not
outlive her usefulness. Suffering much
during the latter part of hen life from
feeble health and bodily infrmities, she
was permitted to attend to the duties of
her household until but few days be-
fore she died. Her sickness was very
brief, less than week, ard the bow
which came so suddenly, falls very heavi-
ly upon the bereaved companion and the
friends who mourn her loss. But to her
death is gain. Having fought the good
fight and finished her course and kept
the faith she has gone to receive her
crown. Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord-that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow them"
F.
Farewell ny own, my sainted wife,
How lonely now my onward way
Pale flowers bestrew the path of life
And summer clouds seem cold and gray,
And yet would not call thee down.
