Mrs. Abbie H. Eames died at her home in
East Belfast Aug. goth after long and pain
full illness. She was native of Belfast and
was the widow Of Frank P. Eames, who was
accidently killed by machinery in saw
mill several years ago. Mrs. Eames was
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Ellis of Putnam,
Conn when she began to fail in health. In
March, last, consultation of doctors re-
suited in the opinion that some malignant
disease of the stomach was the cause of her
continued illness. In the last of MAY, her
son, Dr.. Geo. F. Eames of Boston, decided to
attempt her removal to the old homestead
in Belfast, where her daughter Mrs Geo. A.
Leayitt, now lives. This was successfully
done, a stop of few days being made in
Boston for rest and thorough examination
by DR.. H. O. Marcy of Boston. His valued
opinion agreed with previous opinions, and
was confirmed by the later diagnoses Of two
of Belfasts hest physicians. 1t is quite as
remarkable as it is true, that during her i'll
ness not one murmur escaped her lips. On
Tuesday, about week before her death she
expressed the wish that she might be able to
walk about and help herself more but i'm
mediately said, "but l ought to be thankful
for there are so many others who are worse
off, Her life was one of unseifish devotion
to her family, of neighborly kindness and
to express it in her own words, desire ''to
be a whole-souled Christian" The MANY
kind friends who continually brought flowers
should know how they We're appreciated
Enchanting, How beautiful how beautiful
she would fondly caress them and ask for
some to hold in her hand and when too
weak to hold them they We're fastened where
she could still admire them. Flowers were
such a comfort to her that at midnight she
has asked for the pond lily that had dropped
from her hand. This seems to make the
beautiful floral offerings from friends the
more appropriate and the more fully appre-
ciated by her children. The departed leaves
one son and three daughters, DR.. Geo F.
Eames of Boston, Mrs. Chas. NJ Ellis Of
Putnam, Conn; Mrs. Geo. A. Leavitt of
Belfast and Miss Cora A. Eames of Boston.
