Obituary.

In the death of Mrs. Elvira Clafiin, wife
of Mr.. 4. T. Claflin of Braintree, the COM
munity loses one of its most highly es
teemed and worthy members. The deceas-
ed was born in Weathersfeld, VT, April
81, 1915, and died Mar. %, 1891. A husband
and two daughters survive. Her only son
Hollis o. died in Knoxville, Tenn. July
81, 1890, aged 50 years, months and 20
! days. Her eldest daug hter, Lavina D.,wife
of j. @. Flanders, resides in Knoxville,
Tenn. The younger daughter, Ora G., wife
of j. II. Bass, resides in West Randolph,
VT. The deceased with her husband, lived
to celebrate the fiftieth anniyersaryof their
marriage. Mar. 18th, 1889 The deceased
had slight paralytic shock over 30 years
ago, and altho' able to be about the house
and do some work she has been constant
sufferer from local complaints and disable
tiles, at last terminating in consumption.
1 For the last ten years or more her suffer
ings We're very great and unremitting;
yet not one Wcrd of complaint or impa-
thence ever escaped her lips during all
these long, weary and slowlypassing years.
Her dear husband was equally patient and
unwearied in his affectionate and tender
sympathy and in his unceasing, watchful
care, ministering TO her every want with
out even look OF Impotence. She was
able to be dressed and sit up until three
days before she died. She wanted TO go
and waited patiently for the end TO come.
A true, faithful and devoted wife and
kind and loving mother now rests in
peace. "Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saintsN
''If always on the thorns my feet must
tread,
And heavy clouds hang darkly DER my
head
II all the sunshine from my life depart,
And cold, gray ashes lie upon my heart;
II all my hopes, like swift-winged birds,
must fly,
And everyfower of promise droop and die;
If always through mist of gathering
tears
My eyes watch sadly for the coming years;
Oh, Father, when Deaths river I've passed
DER,
And my feet stand upon the further shore,
Shall not Thy seal upon my forehead be
"Perfect through suffering,n purified by
Thee?"
Through all pain at times she'd smile
A smile OF heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love TO linger
Where our sainted mother sleeps.n

Harriet Walbridge, wife Of Jehiel Wes-
ton, died Mar 81, 1891, aged rs years, 8
mos. and days. In the death of Mrs.
Weston a noble woman has gone-one who
has lived in our midst during her long
life and has endeared herself to this COM
munity by her genial spirit, kind deeds
and Christian character. She and her hus
band have been married more than 81 yrs.
Nov. %, 1888, their neighbors and friends
in large numbers gathered at their home
in the afternoon and evening and celebrat-
ed their Golden Wedding in social greet
ings, addresses, poem, presents and con-
gratulations of the bride and groom OF 30
years. Ii was an event they never forgot
nor did those who received the hospitali-
ties ofthat home and the good cheer which
came from the host and hostess. Seven
wears and more have come and gone. Near
lv the same company met there again. We
missed some familiar faces-faces that
have vanished from earth. How changed
the scenei II was day OF sadness and
tears. In the casket covered with flowers
Law the silent sleeper and by her side sat
her venerable husband of 81 years. No
voices of children are heard in that home.
The flowers of many summers have grown
over their only son and only daughter. 1t
Is something more than a figure of speech
when we say: ellis home is left unto him
desolaten Her life has become part of
bis. They have grown together in heart
sympathyand love during these long years.
Pleasant memories will be around him in
these evening hours in that dear home
where they have spent their united life.
Green are the paths her feet have trodden.
Rev. s. A. Parker who was present at the
golden wedding and who oficiated at the
funeral spoke of her fidelity to the Uni
versalist church of which she was MEM
Der and for which she has done so much.
She realized the worth of that Faith, which
gave her courage and peace. Being dead
She yet speaks to us. Z.
