RECENT DEATHS.

Mrs. Mary Griffin Champlin, whose death
occurred last Friday In the Tooth year of
her age, was born in Oxford, Conn, July
20, 1916. When seven years old she came
to Charlotte Vt. In 1919 she married
Benedict Champin and settled on a farm
in North Ferrisburgh. She became the
mother Of four daughters. three of whom
married. Mrs Champlin has outlived all
of her daughters and sons-in-law, and four
grandchildren. In 1857 she was left a
widow since which time she has made her
home with her son-in-law, Charles II.
Wicker, late of New Haven, until his
death; then with her grandson, George e.
Ball of North Ferrisburgh. Mrs. Cham
plin was a remarkable person In other
respects than her years. Having her life
given her in that age of our country when
the people were awakening to the posibili-
ties before them. her nature seemed to
partake of the tendency OF tho times in
which she was born and manifested itself
through life in being awake to and inter-
ested in the things that surrounded her.
Being possessed of a strong constitution
and ambitious to excel in her sphere, she
early learned to spin and weave. This &C.
cupation she followed for years in addi-
ton to her household duties. When she
was bereft of her companion and went to
make her home with others, her hands
were ever busy ministering to the comfort
and necessity of her numerous relatives
and friends, and many can and will bring
forth her handy.work to-day and with
moistened eye and loving tone, do and say,
as was done and said of Dorcas OF old
"Behold the garments which she made
while she was with u.s." She was posses
sed of a loving and lovable disposition,
ever looking for the GASES Of life, and it
can be truly said, amidst all her sorrows,
her life was a standing invitation to others
to be cheerful and happy. Her physical
and mental Qualities were we'll preserved
until the end. The day before her death
she was up and dressed and crossed the
sitting room three times with the assist
ance of her granddaughter. Her mind
seemed clear to the last. She quietly went
to sleep, rejoicing in the blessed hope OF
meeting her God in peace. Blk grandchil-
dren and Is great grandchildren lay her
away to rest.-Vergennes Vermonter.
