Mrs. JOHN B. COUGH. whose death
was announced recently, was the sec
ond wife of the great temperance apos-
tie. They were married at Worcester
November "a, 1s43. She was a woman
of strong New England character. In
his early struggles it was her faith and
struggles that held Mr.. Cough up, and
in later years her constant care and
wifely devotion had much to do with
his ability to perform his work. In the
town of Boylston, the home of the fam
lily for the last thirty or more years,
Mrs. Cough was held in the highest es-
TEEN. In the church and social life of
the town she welded a great influence.
