Mary l.. Wardwell, wife of Rev. l.. ID
Wardwell, aged 20 years, 3 month.
and % days.
Mrs. Mary l.. Wardwell, wife of Rev
L. d. Wardwell and mother of +. A
Wardwell, who died OH Tuesday, wa.
nearly seventy-onc years ofage and il
this country of comparatively young
people, was well advanced in years. She
was of Norman French blood and was
born on the Island of Guernsey, III the
year ISIS. Her family cmigrated to Ca.
nadia and settled near Quebec in which
city she spent most Of her girlhood
Reaching womanllood she followed q
brother to the state of Maine, where she
met and married L. d. Wardwell, at
Buckspert, Maine, who soon after en-
tered the ministry of the NJ. +. church,
and for nearly forty years she did the
work and lore the vicissitu,lcs Incl.
dents TO the life cfan itinerant preachers
wife. How well, hundreds of friends in
eastern Maine would gladly testify. III
1883 she accompanied her husband OH q
visit to Dakota and finally concluded tc
settle down i'll this city. Here she has
as far as bodily alternatives would al
low, still taken an active part in society
and social life and made many warm
friends in all classes of society. All lel
life she has been an invalid, but an in.
domtable will and a self-forgetting re.
gard for others. has brought her through
a long life with record of more good
work done by her feeble hands and gen.
erous heart, than is done by many whose
years were longer and whose natural
strength was greater.
After life Of pain aud labor she rests
well. Though suffering overwhelmingly
until near the close of her life, at the last
she was comparatively free from pain
and her death was peaceful.
Her friends, while they would not call
her back to the suiferings Of her life,
find already, great blank in their lives.
She had lived with her husband more
than forty-eight Yeas and to him. her
loss is the blotting out of part of lis
own existence. To the writer, sine was
more than an ordinary mother. for lie
was bound to her by the double tie of
gratitude for all that he is, and by the
love Of a mother Of which otherwise ma
ture and dealt, had deprived him.
The funeral took place yesterday after
noon at two o'clock, from her late resi-
dence, on Cavlleer street, to the NJ. f..
church. Rev. ii. +. Cooper, of Drayton,
conducted services.
