 Mrs. Abagail Childs, widow of the late Joshua M. Childs, died about 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, November Il, aged seventy eight years. Mrs. Childs has been best known in her own home and imme- diate neighborhood for several years past, @ severe surgical operation rendering her unable to walk without the aid of crutch- es. Mrs. Childs was of a happy disposi- tion and her lameness did not seem to sf- feet her spirits as she was usually bright and cheerful, ready to receive and enter tain her friends, until last September, zla ofk ,aJ o1,.e{ which she never rallied. Mrs. Childs was for many years 8 member of the Congre- gational church and always seemed inter- | ested in the work of the church although unable to attend service only on rare occa- | sions. Mrs. Childs leaves one daughter, Mrs. A. E Bishop, and niece, Miss Ade- | lside Hartley, who has been like daughter to her aunt for several years and fesls her death very deeply. Mrs. Bishop and Miss Hartley have the sympathy of g large cir | cle of friends and acquaintances. | At the Sunday school Mr. Foote spoke of | Mrs. Childs and said, "Her death removes | another link that has SO long bound us to | the days gone by. No one has expressed | a more decided interest in the school work l than Mrs. Childs; so far as she could dc by thought, prayer and means, all had been done." The school sang to the mem. ory of Mrs. Childs, "The Home Owe, | There," Miss Flora Stiles rendering the | solo very feelinaly. The funeral of Mrs Childs was attended at her late home on Monday afternoon, Rev. Mir. Reynolds con ducting the service in very impressive manner.

Linsley, R. W. Smith, Joel Bssset and George W. Smith. A mother, a neigh bor, friend, one tha. bound the past tt ! the present, has bsen taken & little whil first-our time will soon come. "They ar, gathering homeward from every land on by one.'
