with high hopes for their future in their
new home. Vain hope! She arrived
in season to spend with him at his bed
side his few last days of suffering, and
like the devoted wife that she was,

We DO not learn whether Mrs. Nichols

Mrs. Burr, wife of Wellington Burr,
died suddenly last Monday morning of
apoplexy. The particulars of her
death are as follows: Intending to go
to work at the hotel that day, she
arose very early, but finding it to be
four o'clock returned to bed, telling
her husband it was too early, and i'm
mediately went to sleep. About five
O'Clock she awoke, got up and COM
menced dressing herself, when she fell
to the floor. Her husband, hearing her
fall, jumped up and asked her what;
was the matter. Receiving no reply
he felt of her and tried to rub her as
best he could, but she only breathed
two or three times and was dead.
Mrs. Burr was daughter of the late
Obadiah Foster, Of johnson, and the
last but one of a once large family;
the remaining member being a brother
living at Lowell, Mass. A few years
ago Mr.. Burr's eyesight failed him,
and he gradually became totally blind.
Being unable to earn a livelihood, they
gave what little property they had to
the town and have since been a town
charge. Mrs. Burr was always hard
working woman, doing what she could
towards maintaining herself and hus-
band, and although rs years old, fire.
quently went out to do washing. De-
ceased and Mr.. Burr were married
about thirty-six years ago, but have
never had any children. The sympa-
thies of all will go the husband, who
in this affiiction is left an old man,
totally blind, and without compan-
ion to cheer him in his old age. The
funeral was held at Union church
