OBITUARY.
Mary A. #. Whitmore.

Mary A. Felt Whitmore died July 10.
She was born in Salem, Mass, July 8,
1913. She was the daughter of George W.
Felt and granddaughter of Capt John
Felt, and wife Of the late Joseph W.
Whitmore. She was kind and loving
mother bringing up seven children, four
sons and three daughters. Her husband
died when her children were young. Her
sons were Joseph w. and Alfred Fl.
(who gave their lives for their country
in the late war;. the late Edward g. and
George F. who reside in Boston. The
three daughters were Frances G. and
Mary E., deceased, and Annie D., wife
of Joseph N. Martin, who resides in this
city.
Words can hardly describe the character
wrought out by her life here on earth.
Surely it has been one of kindness,
patience and Christian fortitude. Having
been a great sufferer during late years
she has shown the spirit of love through
it all, patiently waiting the moment
whensshe would be called to the brighter
and happier life and as she said in her
last illness,
~ will lay my armor by,
And dwell with Christ at home"

Take of pure yaseline four ounces,

used.
