The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1892-08-19
In Aiemoriam.

iHo Nohimuiu'y was iuucu snOckeu ana
saddened by the recent death of Emma l..
Ross, wife of Enrico ii. Baldwin.
On Monday, Aug. 8, they came from
their home in So. Londonderry to attend
the funeral of Mrs. w. A. Baldwin who
very suddenly passed away, intending to
return on Thursday, but Tuesday and
Wednesda Mrs. Baldwin did not feel
well, yet there was no visible sign of the
trouble which so rapidly developed later
on except what appeared to be an ordin-
AIRY cold sore on the lip, which had for |
several days been troubling her. Not
feeling quite equal to the journey home
on Thursday it was thought best to post
pone it until Friday, During Thursday
night she was seized with a severe pain
between her shoulders, a physician was
summoned and he pronounced 1t neural
gia. He came again in the afternoon and
found that the lip was beginning to look
more infamed and slight swelling on the
cheek was developing. This increased so
rapidly dnring the night that the physi-
clan desired council Saturday morning.
This was Immediately obtained and after
a careful examination they pronounced 1t
carbuncle, and told of the danger, as
blood poisoning might ensue. The doc
tor found everything more favorable when
he came again in the afternoon, and great
hope was entertained that it would not
prove to be serious one, but hope was
changed to fear as she rapidly grew worse
during the night. Her mother was i'm
mediately sent for and reached here in
time for recognition. She talked with
her naturally about things at home etc.
She passed away at half seven Monday
night. Only that morning she asked a
sister of her husbands if she didn't think
she would be able to go home sometime
during the week.
1t was her desire if she did not recover
to be buried in Sharon, so the remains
were inferred here in one of the pleasant
est parts of the cemetery, where only nine
days previous the remains of her sister
in-law were laid. All that could be done
by loving hands and sympathizing friends
to make the room in which the form re-
posed as cheerful rs possible was done.
The casket sat across the corner of the
room, the corner together with the two
sides were literal background Of vines
and flowers, festooned from the very
ceiling. The opposite corner was arrang-
ed in the same way, while casket and
tables were loaded with beautiful thoughts
of loving friends. A beautiful wreath
from j. w. Melendy, M. Severance, E
> W.. Melendy, broken circle from EN-.
. ployes, cross and anchor from Mr.. and
Mrs. II. M. Whittier were expressions OF
! love and sympathy. A bunch of white
roses together with white pinks and many
other white flowers which nearly filed the
g casket were from Mr. and Mrs. Wells OF
o Lyndonville, besides many pieces from
friends here. Her form seemed to re
. cline in flowers.
Much sympathy was expressed b,
friends and neighbors of the family. On
S lady said, eff an earnest petition eve
II went up from her soul, it was that tn
q mother of that dear little baby might b
spared, for it found place in her hear

Is All that lay in the power of human hand
l. to do was done that the life of the loving
wife and tender mother might be spare
to cheer and bless their lives and home. l

1t be her desire that eulogies be written Q
10 her, more than words can utter now, doe
l. her quiet beautiful life speak, to those i
;, whose hearts the fire of affection has bee
kindled. The kind word, the gentl
- smile, the loving deed live and shine lik
l. stars in the armament of heaven, neve
t, to be obliterated. never to be forgotten
l. Gods ways are not our ways, we cannc

l, Standing within the gloom as we do, W
can only trust it is for the best.

What seems to us but sad funeral taper

g While we sorrow that she is with u
4 not as she used to be let us hope that ther
)e is no separation. She has graduated int
! the higher conditions of life few day
10 comparatively speaking before the res
of us. Her love and affection will neve
grow less but strengthen, she will met
* and welcome her loved ones to the swet
evermore where the reunion will be pc
feet and sorrow will cease. We rejoic
la to believe THAT life is ever lord of death
ill And love can never lose its own.
