death of Mary Ann Dwinell, wife of the
late George F. Leonard, and daughter of
Joseph H. Dwinell, all formerly of Glover.
She was born in Keene, n. H., in 1928, and
died the 4th ult. Her parents came to
Glover when she was small child, where
she grew to womanhood, quiet, refined,
true woman. She was sweet singer, and
for many years the pride of the Universe
list choir, of which she was member.
She married in 1853, after which her life
was variab bic, she lived in the several
towns OF Rouse's Point, n. V, Barton and
Newport, as best served her husbands
interests. They went to California about
nine years ago, building beautiful home
at Los Angeles. Her husband passed to
the higher life about four years ago, of
the same disease which claimed her
la grippe. She leaves three sons, all living
West, Edward Bin Los Angeles, Frank d.
in Santa Anna, Cal, and Fred G. in Den
yer, Col. She has three brothers, Chas. H.,
now of Maiden, Mass land Frank TOT Bos
ton, Mass, and another brother, Joseph
E., and one sister, Mrs. Emily A. Mcclellan,
still living in Glover. Thus we are passing,
one by one, to that land of which Long
fellow eloquently sings:
ssThere is no death! What seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"
