To the Editor of the Monitor see
by the West Charleston items in the
MONITOR of Jan. 80, that Mrs Eleanor
Clement, who recently died SO sud
denly in Washington, d. c., was a
Vermonter. There was an incident
connected with her death that your
readers may be interested to know,
and which, / think, speaks much for
the sterling character of the woman.
Her associates in the department in
which she was employed held her in
high esteem, aid when the news Of I
the sudden termination of her work in !
this world reached them, they wished /
to manifest their affection by some /
tribute to her memory. Naturally |
because the custom is so universal in I
this country the first thought was to |
send beautiful floral pieces for the flu
neral, but one who knew her better
than the others, told them that that |
would not be the way Mrs. Clement |
would wish them to do; that her idea
such way might be put to a better
use. So each of these friends con-
tributed what they wished to give,
making in all the sum of twenty five
dollars, and this money was sent to
the suffering poor in the name of
+ I,ni fri
ent. The flowers would have wither-
ed in few hours time. The grateful
prayers of the poor will be like sweet
incense to her memory forevermore
