On Sunday morning. Dec ID, at one
O'Clock, our friend and ncighbor, Mrs
WIN. NJ. Young (before reported in the
AMERICAN a. very sick passed quietly
to the other shore, after long and lnger-
ing Illness of many years. Mrs Young
was born in East Trenton, now East La,
moline, Nov. 9TH, lsl1, married Jan. 49,
$40, by the Rev John King, pastor of
the Baptist church more than 20 years
Al time now spoken Of as "the great
reformation" Mrs. Young with many
others, professed faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ as her Saviour and was baptized
by the Rev. f. Beadle and united with the
Baptist church al East Trenton NOW + La
moline Mrs. Young's religion proved a
guide to her feet and light to her into
the path of peace, even down to the val
ley of the shadow of death she felt
and gave positive evidence of Christ's
power over death, to all who believe aud
held in the East Lamoine Baptist church.
Rev. F. S. Bickford officiating, who de-
livered short but scholarly, eloquent and
conclusive sermon from Tim. l 10 verse,
But now made manifest by the appearing
of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who abolish
ed death and brought life and immortality
to light through the gospel A large
company of kindred and friends gathered
to pay their last tribute Of love and re-
spect to her memory. She leaves a hus-
band, son and daughter, three grandchil-
dren and numerous other relatives to mourn
her loss; yet all can but feel our loss is
her gain.
Our Sunday School has decided to con-
tinue through the winter on each pleasant
Sunday Stormy or very unpleasant
weather sign for home study of the
lesson We also conclude to hold tenn
perance concert, in the near future, to in
crease funds for our further expenses, by
collection. We wish the parents who
do not feel enough interest in this enter
prise" to come could have seen the little
hand held up SO quickly to vote for the Sun
day School to continue through the winter;
we think not mother father or even
grandparent would let one of them come
alone once through the new year yet to
come, if it was possible for them to &C
company them.
Mrs. A. G. Holt left on Friday for
weeks visit to Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Calvin Huckins of Lamoine Beach,
passed through the town, filled with in
dignation at the discontinuance of the tel
ephone, his wife being very sick. We
have but one clergyman in town, no doc
tor, no lawyer. One would think we
might support telephone office; four
shares at ten dollars each or eight at five
dollars each, is, we learn, the only expense
and from Lamoine Beach, in the night or
on cold day, might make a large differ
ence, in case of an accident, or sudden
sickness.
The house and barn advertised in last
AMERICAN, to let, would be good loca-
ton for physician. Who will come?
