Gated attending the academies at Thetford

Barre. Mrs. Waterman was in many ways
a superior woman She comm snded the
respect and esteem Of all who knew her by
the force of her intelligence, her ready wit,
and many rare qualities of head and heart.
Although she was no stranger to pain and
suffering, her cheerfulness was proverbial
among her friends, and she was always
eminently social, and appreciated and en-
joyed the companionship of her neighbors
and friends. She has been member of the
Congregational church at Barre since 1851,
and a constant attendant there until failing
health compelled her absence. Her last
days exhibited her patience and resigna-
ton, and her pathway to the grave was
smoothed by the loving hands and constant
care of her husband and son, who are left
to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and a
kind, indulgent mother.
