being member of his household. Miss
Allyn was school teacher before and af-
ter she came to Newbury, while in New

brought up under the rigid teachings of the
Calvinistic faith she has been an active
member of the church of her choice for
sixty-five years. A self denying christian

to her church as the band of struggling
Methodists in her native town will attest
