Mrs. Blaisdell was woman " no throughout
her entire lifetime made herself power for
good. Converted at the aye Of fourteen, her
life from that time was consecrated to her Saw
Jour. Soon after her conversion she became a
member of the Methodist Church, and she re-
manned faithful and earnest worker till the

She was foremost in every good work, and
her place will be hard to fill. BY her death the

sonal friend.
For many years she was president Of the La.
dies Circle, which, under her direction, was
enabled to do much good work.
Her health had for several years been failing
but her trust In her Heavenly Father continu-
ally increased. During her last illness she Of

Miss Eliza True.

Miss Eliza True.
Miss Eliza True, who died in this city at the
home of her nephew, MIR. Edward T. Camp.
bell, on Tuesday evening of last week was
born and reared in Yarmouth, Maine, where
she has still some relatives and many friends.
Miss True came TO this city about seven years
ago to make a permanent residence with her
sister. Mrs. Ambrose S. Campbell. and though
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell have now been dead
several years, Miss True continued to reside,
as previously stated, with her nephew who
succeeded his father and mother at the old
homestead. The deceased was a sister OF Capt.
Edward True, the we'll known steamboat mas
ter, and of Mr.. William Fl. True, Who has for
many years been resident of this city.
Miss True's life, we are told by those who
knew her best. has been one of unselfish deyo-
ton to the good of others. Years ago she
cared for her father and mother. and also her
sister, Abby, through long, wearisome Illnesses,
with the most untiring assiduty and with a
tender devotion that spoke volumes in her ia
vor. She was very unse(sh person who
seemed to live wholly for the good Of Others
She was a very intelligent woman, a great
reader, unusually well informed on current
and general topics. and was an excellent bible
scholar. Her life and character we're marked
by the most positive convictions and well-de.
fined and developed principles. She was be-
pevolent, strictly honest and unswervingly up
right.
For several years she had been an invalid
her illness and her retiring nature combining
her to the house to such an extent that her nc
Quaintsnce In Ellsw orth was somewhat limited,
though she had many friends here, and those
whose good fortune it was to make her ac-
qualities Of mind and heart.
During her long illness she was so uncom-
planning that 1t seemed to those who minister
ed to her wants, that in her Patience had in.
deed been made flesh and dwelt among them.
She never murmured. but on the contrary was
very cheerful and thoughtful Of others. In
her religious belief she was Baptist. though,
we think, was she never connected with any
church. She was ready and willing to die, and
often expressed the joy she felt in anticipation
Of her heavenly home.
Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Campbell. with whom
she lived, were very kind to her aud did every.
thing possible to make her as happy as possible
and to supply every want she had expressed or
unexpressed. Her brother in this city, Mr..
W. b. True. was also very kind to her and
watchful for her comfort.
At her funeral on Thursday afternoon last,
the Rev. E. A. Mason, pastor of the Baptist
Church, offciated In very feeling and appro-
prIate manner.
