1860. In November, 1884, she was married
to Gardner Bosworth, of the same town,

seven long months she has been patient
sufferer, but, Notwithstanding her earnest
struggle and great desire to recover, that
she might be help to others, and although
she received the best OF care that loving
hearts and hands could bestow upon her,
Death claimed her for his own. Always an
unusually tender and loving wife and
daughter, her early death leaves most des-
olate the hearts and homes of the devoted
husband and indulgent and sorrow-stricken
parents; and not only in the homes will
she be sadly missed but also among large
circle of friends to whom her many thought
full and winning ways had greatly en-
deared her. For many years she was or
ganist in the Congregational church, and
always regular attendant at Sunday
school,; and although always somewhat
any who were in trouble and to lend help
ing hand to all good works. The funeral
took place at the Congregational house of
worship last Thursday, Rsv. F. E. Whit
ham officiating. The large attendance tes-
titled to the high esteem in which she was
held.

The place made vacant in our homes
Can never more be filed.
Our Father in mis- wisdom called
The boon his love had given;
And though earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in heaven.
