BONDVILLE.
In MemOrianl.

ure from lnlS HE, Dy tne ueaGn OF
Mrs. E. l. Kendall, seems to have
cast a gloom of sadness over the en-
tire community in which she was SO
well known.
Addie Olivia Kendall, daughter of
Abel H. and Olivia (Sprague) Bur-
bank, died in Winhall, May l3, 1889,
after short illness of paralysis of
the brain, at the age of 81 years, Z
months and 8 days. When she was
only two years old her mother was
early called to her reward, leaving
husband and four little children, as
has the subject of these lines. Most
of her single life was spent at her ma
tive home in Bondville, with the ex-
ception of about two years when she
was with a friend OF her mothers at
Elmira, N. Y, in water cure. Her
education was obtained in the COM
mon and select schools of her own
town and at Leland and Gray Sem
mary at Townshend. After which
she taught several terms of school
with the best of satisfaction. At an
early age she was converted and had
a bright Christian experience, soon
after she presented herself to the M.
E. Church for membership, but the
pastor at that time not willing to bap-
tize her by immersion, which was the
method OF. her choice, she has never
united with the Church, but has al
ways been interested in its welfare.
In manner she was very reserved,
quiet, cheerful and hopeful, fulfilling
the duties of her sphere in a very easy
modest way and with great fidelity
and pleasantness. She was most
loved by them who knew her best and
was held in high esteem by all her
acquaintance. 1t has been said that
she had no enemies.
The fifteen years and seven months
of her married life have been mostly
confined to the care and devotion of
her family, by whom now her loving
ministrations are sadly missed Dur
ing her last short but painful illness
her sufferings were alleviated greatly
and heart cheered by the kind atten-
ton of husband, four daughters and
other relatives and friends. The
community greatly mourn their loss,
and sympathize deeply with the be-
reaved husband and family in this
their time of atiiiclion.
The funeral occurred May 10, al
the church, which was filled with rel
atives and friends and was attended
by the pastor using for text " Her
sun is gone down while it is yet day."
Jeremiah XIV 8. From the church she
was buried under the direction of the
Grange of which she was a member.
The grave was strewn with flowers,
and very beautiful and appropriate
services were held.
