Obituary..

REED.-At the close of a peaceful Sabbath,
May 23d, passed to her rest Mary Bowland
Reed, widow of the late Colonel Thomas
Reed of Montpelier. At the time of her
marriage Colonel Reed had won his place
among the most prominent men of the town
for his marked ability, positive opinions on
public matters, and controlling influence,
especially in financial questions, so that to
Mrs Reed was accorded high position in
society, which she fully justified by the
graces of her person and character. For
more than half century she has adorned
that position, retaining to the last the ad-
miration of all who saw her, and the re-
spect and affection of those who were init
mately acquainted with her. To the circle
in which she was best known, to the church
of which she was a member, and, most of
all, to her children and grandchildren, her
death is a great loss.
