It is with pain we record the death
of Miss Sarah Noyes, second daughter
of Edgar Noyes, of this place, which
occurred on Monday evening last. She
had been a sufferer for many years,
particularly for the last two, and yet
her great fortitude has enabled her to
walk about the village, to frequently
attend church, and to put on the sem
blance of health nothing but the thin
pallid face telling of the suffering she
endured. Surely in the deep anguish
of the bereavement the afflicted family
must draw comfort from the thought
that the worn spirit has found rest at
last. She calmly made the arrange
mehts for her haria! and gently as an
infant closed her eyes in death. This
is the fourth daughter from which
these parents have been called to part.
Side by side in the village cemetery
will they repose; Emily, Mary, Sarah,
and little Oracle, an infant of a few
weeks. The severed household chain
of earth shall be united cover there"
''And there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain" The
funeral will take place from her fathers
residence Thursday afternoon at l
o'clock.
Further particulars in regard to the
oath Of Mrs. Sarah Putnam Scribner
shows it to have been one of strange
peculiarly. She went to her school
Monday morning perfectly well to all
appearance. At about half-past II
O'Clock the scholars assisted her home,
seeing she was somewhat confused.
DR.. Hendrick was called, and although
she was delirious, he hoped it to
| be a functional instead of an organ
ic disease of the brain. On Tuesday
and " ednesday she was rational most
of the time, and conversed on diff
ferent topics, and all hoped for a
favorable and speedy recovery. On
Thursday DR.. Bliss, who had previ-
ously seen the case with DR.. H., was
called, in the absence Of DR.. Hendrick,
and found the symptoms more grave
than previously. Drs. Allen, Randall
and Fairman were called, and all
agreed that the symptoms were those of
nervous prostration. Before night,
however, there were stronger indica- |
tions of disease Of the brain, which
rapidly increased, producing conges-
ton OF the lungs, and death Saturday |
evening. Mrs. Scribner was q grad
uate of the State Normal school at
johnson and was teaching her 18th
term of school; was very successful
as teacher and leaves host of
friends. All the members of the fam
lily reached home in time to attend
the funeral.
The third animal meeting of the
Smalley family of Lamoille County
was held at the residence of Royal
E. Smalley in this place on Saturday,
June 18th. The weather on that day
was very fine, and relatives to the
mum Der of about fifty were present,
who began to arrive at about 9 O'Clock,
and most cordial welcome was eX-
tended to all by Mr.. Smalley and his
estimable wife. The large and COM
modious excursion tent of Mr.. 9. @.
Reed had been erected at an early ]
hour near the house. Hammocks had
been put up for the children, croquet
and other games were provided for
the amusement of the young people,
in which they engaged with much APP
parent enjoyment. Thus with the
many happy greetings with dear
friends the moments flew swiftly until
attention was called to the fact that
the dinner hour was near. In the tent
tables had been placed, which were
soon spread and well loaded with
good things provided by the ladies Of
the party, who could ask for no great
err appreciation of their labor and skill
than was manifested as the different
courses were served. Much credit is
due to Miss Nora Andrus for the fine
display of flowers and evergreens ar
ranged by her for the occasion; also
to Cornelius and Fred Smalley, and
n. B. and Heman Prior, who, the
evening previous, visited the ponds
and renamed out nearly all night,
procuring those delicious fish (weigh-
ing in all Is lbs. when dressed) which
formed one of the chief attractions of
the dinner-table. At 2 o'clock p. m.
the meeting was called to order by
President &. ii. Reed. After the
singing Of an appropriate piece, Mr..
T. o. Andrus, in few feeling and
well-chosen remarks, presented to
Mr.. Smalley and wife, in behalf of
their friends, $3.50 in money, and
many other presents, both useful and
valuable, as tokens of the high regard
in which they are held by their friends.
A letter, accompanied by substantial
tokens of love and esteem, from their
children living in Iowa, was read.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smalley were deeply i'm
pressed by these manifestations of re-
spect, and responded in few touch
ing remarks, after which the following |
officers were elected for the ensuing
year: E. A. Smalley, President; G:
A. Smalley, Vice Pres't; Mrs. Dora
Conant, Sec'y; Nora Andrus, Treas
c. II. Reed, Chaplain. The society
then adjourned subject to the call Of
the President, hoping the coming years
might bring many such pleasant
events.
