Washington street, Camden, at the age of 10.
Miss Dyer had an affectionate, sunny dispo-

circle of friends. She had been confined to
to the house ten weeks with that dread dis
ease, consumption, and though at times her
sutferngs We're almost unbearable, yet She
bore them with courage and patience until
the last. All that loving father and kind
friends could do was done, but nothing

a half brother, Hewie, in Brockton and a half
sister, Ruth, in Winterport.
