Mrs. Emily c., wife of Mr.. Silas
Whitman, whose illness has been re-
ported in these columns, died last
Sunday afternoon, at about 4 80
O'Clock. During the four weeks of
her suffering she was unremittingly
cared for by her husband and child
rem, assisted by kind neighbors, and
for this latter the family are very
grateful and would especially mention
Mrs. Esther Fuller and the families
of Josiah and Henry Goddard, and
they authorize us to tender them, one
and all, the grateful thanks of the re-
naming members of the family.
Mrs. Whitman was born in Towns
bend, Feb. 6, 1922 and was the
daughter of Linus Owen, who after
wards became Congregational min
lister and was settled over the old
church in this town, then at Dover
and finally over the Union church in
this village. The last few years of
his life he lived with Mrs. Whitman.
He left two sons and two daughters.
One son, DR.. Varillas Owen of
Springfield, Mass, and Mrs. Emri
B. Stetson of Charlestown, Mass,
survive. Mr.. & Mrs. Owen are still
remembered by many in this vicinity
with affectionate regard.
The deceased was married Jan. 28,
1889 and has since that time resided
in this town and for the past AZ years
in this village. She was lady much
esteemed among a large circle of &C
quintances. In early life she was an
excellent singer, as well as her hus-
band, and for many years they were
leading members in the choirs of the
town. She leaves, besides her hus-
band, two sons aud two daughters,
all grown to man and womanhood and
occupying respectable positions in So
ciety. Funeral services were held at
the family residence on Tuesday, Rev.
0. P. Fuller officiating. All of the
children were present, also DR.. Owen
and Mrs. Stetson with many other
relatives and friends. The remains
were inferred in the old cemetery at
the middle town, near which stood the
old church that was so closely con-
nected with her early life, and where
she fittingly sleeps "after life's ftful
| fever"
For the bereaved husband, who is
four years her senior, and the other
members of the family, our commune
ty have only feelings of the kindest
sympathy.

AGE BEFORE BEAUTY.

Even when it comes to fishing. So
our young friend, Clarence Aldrich,
whom we reported last week as being
the happy father-Oh no, not that
AS having caught trout weighing
one pound and one ounce must yield
the palm to our venerable and es-
teemed townsman, Mr.. John Aiken,
who last Monday safely landed a
"speckled beauty" weighing one
pound and four ounces. Mr.. Aiken
is about rs years old, but is full of
the fire and energy of his ancestors
who were among those who suffered
the hardships attendant upon the first
settlement of this town, and whose
bones lie upon the shore of Lowell
Lake. Everybody in these parts
knows "Uncle John" and knows that
he has bought more cattle, sheep and
poultry than any other man of his
generation, and all will be pleased to
hear that he is able to take his rod
and basket, go out on the brook and
put to blush the younger men.

Farmers in this vicinity are most of
them through planting; some of the
most thrifty ones have crops large
enough to hoe.
The armies of destruction are each
ready for its respective crop. Earl
Fuller has been fortunate enough to
capture nine crows alive, which he
has pressed into the service on the
defences.
We are glad to learn that Mrs.
Mary Kent is going to have pen

past winter with rheumatism and un-
able to work it will be very accepta-

nate enough to get any mail at all
when you 60 to our office, it is just as
