Some Recent Deaths.
After many years of failing health
and of suffering, Mrs. Anna P. Gale
has passed in to the land she saw by
faith, and saw to be very goodly. Her
bedside has been a place of comfort
and strength to all about her. The Sc
verities of pain did not diminish her
tender solicitude for her family and
friends, nor her love for the ordinances
part during years of enforced absence
from public worship. While shut off
from many desired activities her inner
life was steadily ripening and gracing
the little world she moved in. The
larger world will have the impulse
which her devOut, pure life has given
to other hearts, in which her memory
is treasured lovingly. F.
In the last months of the earthly
life of George w. Parker, whose young
life went out on the last day of sum-
mer, was illustrated the power of the
Christian religion to sustain and recon-
Gle under great trouble. For years
a cripple, and for several months past
a great and increasing sufferer by con-
sumption, he bore all with resignation,
and daily developed spiritual sense
of the life eternal which gratified
friends when he was here and comforts
them now he is gone.
The widow of the late Oliver Curri-
er, who died at F. j. Emerson's on
Tuesday, where she had made it hel
home for some years, will be remem-
bered by many in this town as Mrs
William Arnold, who formerly lived
next the school house on Summer
| street.
