illness of a weeks duration. She was born
in Plain6eld, N. H., and at the age of ten
removed with her parents to Barre,
where she resided until she moved with
her husband to Montpelier, some twenty

those universally respected women whose
whole life is given up 10 the performance
of such duties as the day brought forth,

numberless ways Of doing good outside
