oBITUARY-MRs. HARRIET L. sroppAPD.
The death of Mrs. Harriet Il. Stoddard
wife of Hon. Abishai Stoddard, took place
last Sunday. Mrs. Stoddard had been resi.
dent of Townshend twenty-five years. She
came when in the prime of life, in the maturi-
ty of those qualities Of mind and heart that
fitted her TO act leading part in the social
and religious life of the community. She has
acted that part well and has left these scenes
to participate in those of grander drama.
Richly endowed by nature in intellect and
that priceless gift, common sense, she add
ed to these good education, and the grsces
of consistent Christian character. Hers was
a consecrated life. Her piety, sincerity, and
sympathy were attended by such unoblrusive-
ness that she won hearts and commanded in
fuence without an effort. In her home her
influence was as pervasive as the sunlight.
Managing the affairs of large family with
rare judgment, she cared for every one, wheth-
er member or guest, and with her pen light
ened the professional labors of her husband.
The Baptist church will miss her. Her men,
bershp added to its strength and influence.
Her example is a precious legacy-a common
heritage to her kindred, her friends, her
church and the community. The funeral oc-
Cured on "Wednesday at her late residence.
The services were conducted by Rev. T. NJ
Butler assisted by Rev. Mark Carpenter In
addition to the presence of numerous relatives
was large delegation of friends from Brat
tleboro.
There is to be but one Christmas tree
here this year. That will be at the Congre-
gational church Saturday evening. The in
dications now are that the occasion will be in
no way inferior to similar occasions in past
years. The supply of Christmas goods in the
usual places never was greater than at pres
ent.
